| Description | [Title] - kaleidoscreen for 53minutes [Author/Circle] - Linjin / CYTOKINE [Album] - Virtual x Real [Event/Date] - Reitasai 4 (May 20, 2007) [Original] - Blue Sea of 53 Minutes [Original CD] - Retrospective 53 Minutes Oh wow, look at all that CYTOKINE goodness! I suppose we're stocking it up for the shameful lack of such talented circle throughout the first 100 videos, heh. Virtual x Real truly is a pearl to cherish warmly by any Original CD fan. Let it be known that the original Blue Sea of 53 Minutes is my favorite original of ZUN, ever. Alright, maybe along with Forsaken Doll and Witches' Ball. Moreover, it truly is a chocload of an ordeal to pick one CD original out from the others. Heck, I suppose I'm a fan of a lot of stuff, let's just go ahead and say it, and Blue Sea is definitely amidst somewhere. Admittedly, the kaleido-screen is a grand concept. It's such an ethereal experience! Junya aimed for a dream-oriented reflection and plotline in both Changeability of Strange Dream and Retrospective 53 Minutes, to fulfill such resolution, it truly is a bright idea to place the setting inside a kaleidoscreen underground train. The sheer moment just blows me away, and I haven't even lived it. I'm seriously filled with curiosity about it! Someday, I hope high and soundly to set my foot even if just once inside the shinkansen Boyu Tokaido, those 53 minutes replenished with ancient tales and witnesses from the past, a trip to another dimension... Would you live such a thrill if the scenario portrayed in the kaleido-screen were actually the real landscape? Most probably, you would just take a glance to your surroundings and let yourself down to sleep. The kaleido-screen however, it is something else than sheer scenario, earth, sky, or sea. It is the land of Hiroshige, the Fuji of his dreams; 53 minutes of traveling throughout the ancient Japan that no longer remains. What an unique experience... The dream that is rendered 53 minutes of blue sea, earth, sky, hopes, and souls, and the horizon that lies beyond the kaleido-screen into your imagination; the gap to the 'wonderland'. I just totally love it. I love to dream, you could say. There is the tale of the butterfly man I want to tell you. This man was not sure of his true 'being'. During the day, he full heartedly saw himself as a human. However, during the night, he'd always dream of being a butterfly. When he'd wake up, he wasn't quite sure who he truly was anymore. Presumably, this has already happened to all of us, specially when we were younger. As we age, the conception of dream and reality are rendered with a crude, nasty borderline which separates these two concepts. Isn't, however, music, a dream itself? Only one would know what you guys think of when feeling music, but even as I listen to kaleidoscreen for 53 minutes, I'm not living the physical world anymore. I'm living the shinkansen trip and having an amazing time. Isn't it the point of music itself? I've heard many people say they listen to music to abstract themselves from their troubles, their life; the reality. Music is a dream that seems to exist. To such an extent, we conclude the dream cannot be separated from reality. Assuming existence exerts body and soul, you could say the soul leaves your body, and the experiences you live in your dreams never go to waste. Will you find the gap between the dream and reality? ~The Suzuran Parlour~ http://thesuzuranparlour.wordpress.com/ |
