[Currently listening to...] Lovely Complex: Kimi + Boku = LOVE? - OP
Just a mini update, as I really haven't had the time to really add much to the site than the next episode subbed as I've been busy with school. *sigh* I've also been workin' with reuploading the downloads where the links no longer work, but even with the ones that I have re-uploaded, I haven't been able to change the links for those pages yet. After this weekend... I hope things get easier, I hope... -__-; I'd edit this update with a whole bunch of fanbase stuff, lyrics, and such, so the next time that I actually make a separate update will be right before I leave for majority of the summer. XP

• Episodes: Added Episode 12 subbed.
• EDIT (June 09, 2007) Gallery: Added some merchandise scans, and some other pics. Thanks Saku, SetsunaKou, and Souya~! ^^
• FAQ: Added a little to the FAQ page.
• EDIT (June 17, 2007) Episodes: Added episode 13 subbed.
• Downloads: I'm currently reuploading the missing album tracks (finally! XD), so I'll edit this part of the post as I get them re-uploaded. Re-uploaded missing tracks for: First Selection Album, Second Selection Album

[Currently listening to...] Brahms - Sonata for Viola & Piano, Op 120, No. 1 in F minor - II
New layout time~! This layout, Version 2.2 features Kahoko Hino~! Initially, I wanted to make Kazuki's or Keiichi's layouts next as they're my other two top faves from the series (this is excluding the 2nd game, which is why I didn't list Aoi), but... if I did that, I would have been quite bias now, wouldn't I? XD; More details on the 'Current Layout' page. I admit I'm sad to see Len's layout go, but it definitely won't be the last time he's featured in a layout. *hint hint* ^^

Whoo~ as for stuff for the site, hm, it's not much of an update, and I'm not sure when the next one's gonna be. For one thing, I have gotten pretty lazy with scanning so I haven't scanned much else than the CDs. Ugh... that's sad. XP I'm happy that I've through with my AP exams, well exam as I only took the Calculus AB one, but I've kinda lost motivation to update the site. Not that I've lost interest in the series, which I haven't, but I guess it might have to do with the fact that summer's coming, perhaps, but anyway~

I'll try to update when I can and I realize that are still things on the site that have to get filled in, so you'll all have to bare with me on it. ^^; I'll probably edit this update later, rather than making a whole new update altogether, as I really didn't feel like adding much else to the site, other than the new layout and info on it.

• Current Layout/Layout Graveyard: Moved Version 2.1 to the 'Layout Graveyard' page and Version 2.2 on the 'Current Layout page.
• EDIT (May 20, 2007) Episodes: Added Episode 11 subbed. (You've all~ been waiting for the next sub to come out and here it is!)

[Currently listening to...] Ayumi Hamasaki - HEAVEN "original mix"
Hey, everyone~! I mentioned it on the tagboard and on the FAQ that I was going to have a huge~ update on the site and well, here it is~ ^^ I've added a bunch of new pages, more downloads, and some other things too. When it comes to summaries, I'm really sorry it took me so long to do them, including the one that Aki had done a while back. ^^; It was mostly because I didn't have the short summary done.

With the long summaries, those are probably going to take some time to do as I get pretty lazy to do them, but they'll be done over time. I think what I might do is do the short summaries for all the episodes, including the episodes that were only released RAW. I'll try my best to do them on my own and I'm beginning to wonder about some of the people who said that they were going to help me and never actually sent me anything... Because of that, I've removed one person as I haven't recieved a single thing from them since they joined the staff. I will save their profile on my hard drive if they decide to help again. Of course, in that case, it's going to take a lot to convience me... -__-; Kinda amusing that the minute that one person goes, I get one more, so please welcome Mari to the Crescendo crew~ ^^

In other news, I got my copy of the La Corda Mio Colore artbook finally~ XP And I'll be scanning that, along with the Seisho Gakuin Photo Album, and La Corda Carnival Comic 2 (which I got from one of my friends as a late b-day gift) after my spring break's over. I'll also be getting a few more La Corda related things, those being several of the character albums. I plan on buying them all... eventually, but I went with my top favorites, besides Aoi (as I dunno if he's gonna have a CD) first -- Len, Kazuki, and Keiichi, and I'll be scanning Len's album booklet as well when I get it. Yay, finally I'll actually own a few La Corda CDs already~ XD;

I also find it kinda funny that when I was doing the music pages, I noticed that some of the albums were released twice and the second time that it was released costs less than the initial release and were the limited edition, which kinda shocks me more when I noticed that one of them, it didn't look like a limited edition as all the songs that were on the original were on the limited edition as well. ^^;

• Icons/Avatars: Added more icons. (Thanks Yumiaria, Mizutama, and Yunaura~! ^^) And I also added a few icons that I made for my iconfiend100 icon challenge for Len Tsukimori x Kahoko Hino.
• Music: Added the Hihara-hen, Shimizu-hen, Tsuchiura-hen, Yunoki-hen, Final Selection, Lili One-Point Classic, Zensokyoku, Vivace, Espressivo2, Kimagure Fuga, and Komorebi no Sonata pages. One note on the albums: As the list of links under the 'Multimedia' section was getting quite long with all the new albums that are now on the site, I decided to take the Selection albums and the Character Collection albums and put them on separate pages -- 'Character Collections' and 'Classical Collections' repectively. (Thanks Akemi for doing the majority of the tracklists; Mizutama, Splash, Starnomirari, and Darklight for the albums~! ^^)
• Downloads: Added screenshots for episode 25, all the albums that I mentioned under the 'Music' bullet, re-uploaded screenshots for episodes 1, 4-7, 9, 14-15, 19, and 23
• Gallery: Added the first 68 pages of the La Corda D'Oro Memorial Book, Album scans for the Final Selection, Zensokyoku, Vivace, Fantasmagoria, Tsuchiura-hen, Yunoki-hen, Kimagure Fuga, Komorebi No Sonata, Espressivo2, and Lili's One-Point Classic, extras (not including the 'Seisho Gakuin Photo Album' as I will have to scan it after spring break) from the premium edition of the 2nd La Corda game, scanlations for several comics from the La Corda D'Oro Carnival Comic 1 (HQ version). (Thanks Mizutama, Splash, Starnomirai, Darklight, Meliachu, and Usagijen~! ^^)
• Episodes: Added summaries for episodes 2-3.
• Manga: Added information on Viz Shojo Beat's volume three and added pages up to volume six, which I tried my best to translate the table of contents, so I hope that they're correct. If I made any mistakes, please feel free to correct me. ^^ Summaries won't be available until the cooresponding Viz Shojo Beat version comes out and I don't have the table of contents scans for volumes seven and eight, so I can't translate those.
• Lyrics: Added the lyrics for SWEET SECRET, Warrior, Hyakunen no Kodoku and the translations for CORE'NGRATO Taiyou no Ryuushi, and Preclude ~Ao Gekkou~. (Thanks Seryass for the lyrics, Jessie-chan and Lucathia for translations~! ^^)
• Merchandise: Added information on the La Corda D'Oro Carival comics (specifically number one) and posted the LQ scanlations that I did for some of the ones that Usagijen scanned, translated, and posted on her anime blog.
• Mangaka: Added information on Yuki Kure.
• Fanlistings: Added five new FLs -- Len, Kazuki, Keiichi, Aoi, and one relationship one (Kazuki, Kahoko, and Ryoutarou).
• Affiliates: Usagijen's blog, 'Mio Colore' has moved, so I've updated the link; the name's also changed to 'Scrumptious' as her blog merged with them. [link]

[Currently listening to...] Nicclo Paganini - Caprice 10 in G Major
I would have updated sooner, but I've been busy with school, so I haven't really had a chance to. :P I got my copy of the 2nd La Corda game yesterday (which I'm uber excited about), so I'll be adding the scans of the extras and such to the gallery as I get them done.

Luckily, even though it's a pain in the butt to not have a scanner at home, I have a flash drive now, so I can easily just save the pics there ... instead of sending them to myself. (That took forever... T.T) Well, don't really expect a huge~ update until later this week, at the earilest, or spring break. I have some things that I can certainly add much more of the music pages as I finally have those tracklists translated, but I'll add them with my huge~ update.

• Icons/Avatars: Added a whole bunch of avatars. (Thanks Jessie-chan and Mizutama~! ^^)
• Affiliates: Added one affiliate. (Mio Colore - Usagisan's anime/manga/game blog)
• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Added the FAQ page, which will hopefully answer most of the commonly asked questions that I've gotten from people about the fansite. If there's anything that I haven't answered, please feel free to leave a message on the tagboard or e-mail me.
• Downloads: Reuploaded Brand New Breeze and CRESCENDO albums, added episode 25 RAW. (I had this one up for a while, but I didn't put the link up because of my laziness and of school.)

[Currently listening to...]Nickelback - Far Away
It's another one of those *blah* updates, as I don't really have much to say about this update. Sad, but ah well. ^^;; Episode 25, the final episode of La Corda will be this Sunday in Japan, early afternoon here in the States.

The all important question as the series comes to a close: "Will there be a second season of La Corda?" I haven't heard ANYTHING about a second season, so please don't bother asking me. I'm just mentioning it now, so I don't (hopefully) get a bunch of messages on the tagboard about that later. If a second season is announced, I will be sure to post it here on the site. Indeed.

• Episodes: Added episode 24.
• Downloads: Added downloads for episode 24 screenshots and RAW.
• Gallery: Added three wallpapers from the official Japanese La Corda D'Oro 2 site and episode 24 screenshots.

I'm also plan on adding a few more albums to the site, thanks to Akemi for translating the tracklists. :P

• Fanlistings: Added one more fanlisting. Just have one more to finish of the ones that I'm currently approved for. Whoo~ ^^

[Currently listening to...] Utada Hikaru - Flavor Of Life -Ballad Version- (Hana Yori Dango Live Drama 2 Insert song)
The 2nd La Corda game came out yesterday and I should be getting it within the next week or so, depending on when the La Corda Mio Colore Artbook I ordered along with the game can be shipped. Sigh~ I wish I clicked the 'Spilt Shipment' option before. Ah well. ^^ Whenever I do get it, I'll be scanning it and adding the images and such to the gallery. Such a load to scan... XD; I really wished I had a scanner right about now. -__-;

March 6, 2007
[Currently listening to...] Ayumi Hamasaki: A Song For XX
This is pretty much a blah~ update as I really don't have much to add, besides a whole~ bunch of lyrics. Because there are many more songs in the 'Lyrics' section, I divided the songs by what album they're from. :P That's pretty much it for today. ^^ A few more things to do for some of the AMVs and such, but I'll add 'em on the next update.

• Lyrics: Added lyrics (romaji and kanji) for WISH, One Day's Memory, Tone Color -Shinjuu no Neiro-, Brightly ~Kagayaki no naka de~, Days gone by ~Yume no naka yume~, SANCTUARY ~Yes/No~, FLAME, Fine Days ~Ashita wa Hare!~, ANOTHER REVOLUTION, Cendrillon, CORE'NGRATO, Hi·damari, JUMP☆, L'Armonia ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~, PRECLUDE -Ao Gekkou-, ＊Spica＊, Walking together ~Kaze ni Mukatte~, Taiyou no Ryuushi, and Overture -Jokyoku-.

Whee~ hm.. not much to say. I'm working on the next layout a bit, which speaking of which... I reeeally need to finish coding those La Corda FLs. XD Those should be done hopefully soon. :P Okay, I reeeally have to get those screenshots from 16-19 done and I should be able to tomorrow since because I'll get home early for the next few days this week and next week because of CAPT testing. Woot~ such a plus of not being a sophomore~. ^^ I just have to crop a few more things, so I should be able to add those images to the gallery. As for the Memorial Book, I'm working on scanning it, but like I said, since I don't have a scanner at home, it's gonna take a while. ^^; And when I get the Artbook, that'll mean even more scanning~ XP

[Currently listening to...] Chris Daughtry - It's Not Over
Wow~ I feel reeally slow right now. XD I actually found a way to change the kanji lyrics into html (unicode) coding, which besides putting in the spacing coding, I could code all the lyrics at once. Wow, I really wished I found that sooner. XD Anyway, not much of an update today, but I'll see if I can update some more stuff over the weekend or something. The other thing is that I'm going to have to have to take down the mirrors as they're somehow vanishing... Poo.

• Lyrics: Added kanji for Asu e no Melody, Fill My Heart, Vibrato ~the way you are~, Happy Time, Hajimete no Kimochi, and Tenshi no Toiki. Added lyrics for Tenshi no Toiki. (Thanks Lucathia~! ^^ The rest of the kanji were primarily done originally by Shikumo, with Kazuki and Keiichi's songs being the exceptions. :P)
• About Site: Added a little more information on it.

[Currently listening to...] Saiyuki Reload Gunlock: Don't Look Back Again - OP
Whee~ new layout time! Like I mentioned in one of my last updates, Version 2 is going to have seven versions (aka 2.1-2.7), and here's Version 2.1 featuring Len Tsukimori~! ^^ Also, the name is now called "Crescendo," so if anyone has linked the site under "Musical Secret," please update your links. ^^

• Current Layout/Layout Graveyard: Moved Version 1 into the "Graveyard" and added Version 2.1 onto the "Current Layout" page.
• Music: Added pages for the first three selections.

Happy Lunar New Year~! ^^ The year of the pig~ Heh, when I think of a pig, I think of Saizo from Peacemaker Kurogane! XD I'm working on the pics for the other AMVs (yeah, me being my lazy self. XD) and making the music pages.
