16th Lullaby ♫ - Action for Violet || Video

[the_whitequeen]

[ Lacus seems to be in a very good mood today. She was waving to the camera while she was lying on a patch of green grass, because it was such a beautiful day.

A pen and sheaf of scribbled on musical notes spread beside her and what appeared to be an ipod on top of it all. Mister Pink and Liana were sleeping beside her.

The pen and the papers scattered all around? It looks like she was writing again.

She holds up a piece of paper full of her incoherent scribbles and laughs. She knows her handwriting is barely eligible. ]

Look, Athrun! I'm writing again!

[ She puts it back with the other papers and turns back to the gear. ]

I was just remembering the first things my music teacher taught me when I was first learning music. It was that music is always different for different people.

There will always be people who like what you like and people who don't like what you like. Popularity is fickle, isn't it? But I think anyone is capable of making music.

She taught me this when my first live didn't attract as much attention as previously hoped.

So I wanted to ask ...

... what is music to you? Or maybe ... what kind of music do you listen to? Do you think your music defines you? Now that I have time, I am excited to explore other genres.

Though, I must give warning that my rapping skills are in need of much work.

No matter who'ya write for, al~ways remember to go~ with the flo~w of the music.

I'm a fan of jazz myself. [He clicks his fingers in a rhythm, making a few noises with his vocals.] Fun a~nd flexible.

[ He was good! She is entertained, so she laughs and joins him in snapping his fingers to a beat. ]

My father enjoyed jazz as well. He used to tell me that he and my mother used to dance to it.

[pianokeys]

Tha~t's the rhythm!

Think jazz is a daddy-style?

[ Training gave her a good sense of rhythm. ]

I never thought of it before ... but quite possibly. He always said it reminded him of where he came from.

I didn't quite understand what he meant then, but he could mean the era he belonged to.

Actually, you appear to be the same age as my father actually.

.. Uu-.. [ she pouts a little before frowning - a thinky kind of frown, mind you. ]

That question sounds a little difficult, Lacus.

[thewhite_symphony]

Is that so? [ Smiling. How cute she is when she was thinking so hard. ]

Well, then ... why don't we start at another question? Does Maria like music?

[uuing]

That one's easier! [ she nods eagerly. ]

Maria likes music, she re-ally does! Music makes people happy, right?

[thewhite_symphony]

That is right! Just like when Maria sang to me on my birthday ...

... it had made me very happy.

[uuing]

.. Uu-... [ she blinks, a little surprised, but more than that.. she seems a little amazed, maybe. ] That made Lacus.. happy? Really..?

I love all kinds of music! Back home, it wasn't unusual for people to break into song right on the street.

video

[thewhite_symphony]

Why do I find that not hard to imagine?

[her_mouse_jesty]

I myself love to sing. Sometimes our stories had songs in them, so we'd sing them to others as we told the stories... like when we did the Snow White play.

[thewhite_symphony]

Stories?

[infinitejustice]

Wha--you--

...

...I'm sorry. I just tried to picture you rapping, and...well...

[Video]

[thewhite_symphony]

[ Laughs. ] I understand. It is not something I usually touch, but I never said I never tried. I can't say I am very good at it though.

Especially the language. Sometimes I wonder if I am still speaking coherently. Rapping feels like another language entirely.

[Video]

[infinitejustice]

It would certainly explain why I can never understand it. Anyway, I think it's best to stick with the genres you're best at.

[Video; 1/2]

[thewhite_symphony]

Don't worry, Athrun. I don't plan on leaving the genre at all. I only wish to look outside the box for a while. I want to learn how I can make my music better.

[Video; 2/2]

[thewhite_symphony]

... though heavy metal does seem to have its own language too.

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

I dunno. Music is pretty cool, I guess. I listen to anything - except enka. [That was a little too dated for his tastes. ...It was still okay, though.]

[video]

[thewhite_symphony]

Enka? That is Japanese traditional music, isn't it?

I remember hearing it when we visited Japan.

[video]

[pinnedbangs]

[He nods, happy that he didn't have to go an explain it.] Yeah it is! Old people like it though, and some younger kids.

When'd you visit?

[video]

[thewhite_symphony]

Maybe ... more or less two years ago. My boyfriend is from Japan. I wanted to see it.

It is very beautiful ... especially the countryside.

Video // wow, those questions really made me think hard about how to reply... which is great <3

[meikyuubutterfly]

[Oh, another singer? Musician, whatever. Just how many musicians, idols, singers and people who make music are in this world...?

Popularity is fickle? Well... Yeah. Utau worked hard to get to the top, to stay on the top and ...If she ever resigned from Easter, her future would be something like a nightmare full of trying to survive in the business again.

She'll leave her reactions to those questions offscreen. It's none of the girl's business. But yes, maybe she could talk about music with her... 'What is music to you' No, she won't answer that one. That's something she's been thinking for a long time.]

I'm a rock singer.

[So assume that she also listens to rock. But does it define her? She'd love to say absolutely not, but considering how she forgot songs from her childhood somewhere along the road...]

And it defines me. Not that I mind, but I think my fans would mind if I suddenly changed my style into something completely different.

Video // I AM SO LATE. I am so sorry! Thesis ... ;A;

[thewhite_symphony]

A rock singer?

[ Well, this is new to her. She had heard a few rock songs back in her world, but she had to admit that it wasn't a genre she had much experience with. ]

I don't know ... maybe some of them might appreciate the variety of flavors in one's music.

I always believed in looking outside the box.

Video // Darling, it was me who was so very late at first and I know you're busy <3

[meikyuubutterfly]

A rock singer.

[...Or not, but her actress skills at saying it are perfect, and her two songs from home are definitely rock. The third song is ... a rock ballad, maybe and the rest? She forgot them long ago.]

Yet some of them wouldn't appreciate it at all and in the end they'd go away, but they all came to me because of my current music.

Well, I'm sure they wouldn't mind me going outside the box if it was just a temporary thing; like a challenge to see how well a singer sings other genres.

[... or she'd make them follow her into a pop career too, but... nope, not even thinking about other careers in her current life situation at home.]
