Description 二度と会えぬ
人に、場所に、
窓をあける

Translation

I will open a window to the people and places I can never see again
Lyrics from Passion by Utada Hikaru

========

I adore the Japanese version of the KH2 intro (the lyrics seems more fitting to me than the English version...well to me anyway .__.)
Sora and Roxas with lots of inspriation from the song (and don't worry there isn't anything scary or offensive on full-view)
I know it looks weird with Roxas' legs showing but in my strange little world it makes sense...maybe XD;;

This picture is beautiful! It's just like the English song title of Hikari: "Simple and Clean." It's simple, and clean, and I LOVE the Art Nouveau-esque window.

i think it makes PERFECT sense to have Roxas' legs showing too... dunno why... but it fits I think. I really like the composition. Kudos!

I think that the fact that the preview image stands on its own as part of the image (the window, unopened, without the characters), is a nice added touch.

Aside from that, the rest of this is utterly fantastic as well.

Roxas-Key-of-Destiny [2006-10-03 01:52:20 +0000 UTC]

That is just totally awsome! I too think that the picture looks cool the way you have those two characters seperated like that. Like someone else had said on here (though its not word for word! lol) Its as if it is seperating th two different worlds, yet they are much closer than either one thinks.

Keep up the great work!

Oh my gawd, it's so gorgeous! You are quickly encouraging me to hurry up and play that game with your art! XD Don't ask. But it's beautiful. Even though Simple and Clean is the KH1 intro, looking at this picture and listening to it nearly set me off in tears. The art's so well done. That and that it seems to have a much deeper message than many may percieve. It think this is very, very well done.

LadyKara [2006-08-11 15:03:37 +0000 UTC]

I found this picture in a gallery in a Roxas Fanlisting. I recognized it (how could anyone not! ^^) and went searching for your DA account because I remembered you having said in your comments that you hadn't submitted it anywhere but here. Apparently someone saved the picture off your DA, and sometime later submitted it to the Fanlisting because they liked it but forgot who the artist was so they couldn't ask for permission. I don't think there was any malicious intent in its submission because it is clearly labeled on the site as "Artist Unknown". Would you like for me to ask them to take it down, or to give you credit for it? I can give you the link to the site if you want to do it. Just thought I would ask! ^^ Beautiful picture BTW!! ^^

Thanks for letting my know I guess I should put big watermarks on the pictures so that people know where they came from but I think it just ruins the picture most of the time >_<;; I don't mind about my pictures being posted on to other places..as long as people don't go around pretending to be me XD;;

No problem. Yeah, I don't like watermarks either, but I guess artists gotta do what they gotta do.

Motje [2006-08-08 11:12:32 +0000 UTC]

I agree. The English lyrics is just made to fit the melodie. The Japanese lyric actually contributes and tells a part of the story. Same goes for the lyric for the first part of Kingdom Hearts.

Tintinity In reply to Motje [2006-08-09 05:11:42 +0000 UTC]

Oh no, my dear...that's where you're wrong.
The Japanese lyrics were the lyrics made just to fit the melody (and how do I know this? Hardcore Utada fan since kingdom come...which is, to say, 2001) and the original song Utada wrote and Shimamura composed was actually Sanctuary. Passion fits the mood more if you don't understand it, but bah! I know my Japanese, and I can tell you Passion is not much of related to KH2 compared to Sanctuary, which in comparison, is actually the better version.

But this is based on opinion, and either way both versions kick ass~

Motje In reply to Tintinity [2006-08-09 10:32:47 +0000 UTC]

I think sanctuary just doesn't work for the story in my opinion.. But well that's my opinion indeed.

Tintinity In reply to Motje [2006-08-09 14:06:16 +0000 UTC]

Ah, it's fine.
Although if my Japanese lessons serve me well...Passion makes as much sense as Hikari did.
Sadly, it's not a lot of sense.
But then again when you jumble out the technical stuff like winter and the TV screen, you'd get something~
