[The video initially just shows Reimu sweeping the interior of the Hakurei Shrine. And, well, what do you expect? Eventually she starts singing a little number. Her voice actually is pretty good.]

Do you wanna fight me?
With your one good leg
And do you think you can beat me?
Why don't you wait until you get out of bed?

Now, you're throwing frantic punches at the rate of snow
If you break and have some you can let it flow
You’re eighty pounds of wreckage in a mason jar
You’re a bit combustible, don’t break

( cut for more hideous crap )

[The sun is shining down, causing a soft glare on the camera, though it goes away soon enough to reveal Roze, smiling as she stands in a small garden, children playing a bit in front of her. For those who know her well enough, they’ll recognize that she’s now in Liore.

And then her voices joins all the others that had come across the community lately, singing something from a movie she would have never had a chance to see.

Her voice can surprisingly hit the notes with ease]

From the day we arrive on the planet
And blinking, step into the sun
There's more to see than can ever be seen
More to do than can ever be done

[She stands from her crouch, her hand moving across the slow growing, and still small, vegetables.]

There's far too much to take in here
More to find than can ever be found
But the sun rolling high
Through the sapphire sky
Keeps great and small on the endless round

[The children see her coming and run up to her, circling her as her lips form a smile, twisting with them.]

It's the Circle of Life
And it moves us all
Through despair and hope

[And both of these could be seen in the distance, a few pieces of unfinished construction sticking out among the rebuilt houses.]

Through faith and love
Till we find our place
On the path unwinding
In the Circle
The Circle of Life

[The video ends with her sitting down with a laugh, all the children crowding in.]

[Do you remember how during the last virus, Eames was Tuxedo Forger? Well, the tuxedo is back out, only without the mask. And Eames is also carrying a cane as well.

Did you know Eames can dance? Eames can apparently dance. Because this happens:]

( Cut for video of Fred Astaire doing his Fred Astaire thing )

Have you seen the well-to-do
Up and down Park Avenue?
On that famous thoroughfare
With their noses in the air

High hats and narrow collars
White spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime
For a wonderful time

Now, if you're blue
And you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits

Puttin' on the Ritz!

Different types who wear a daycoat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat
Perfect fits

Puttin' on the Ritz!

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper
Super-duper

Come, let's mix where Rockefellers
Walk with sticks or "umberellas"
In their mitts

Puttin' on the Ritz!

Tips his hat just like an English chappie
To a lady with a wealthy pappy
Very snappy

You'll declare it's simply topping
To be there and hear them swapping
Smart tidbits

Puttin' on the Ritz!

[When he finishes, he makes a large, sweeping bow while removing his hat. When he stands up again, he grins and adds:]

You should all be so glad I didn't do the Young Frankenstein version.

[The scene is familiar for anyone who knows about Cure Peace and her friends. There's four out of five Precure and they're just finishing their introductions. Red Oni has a dumbfounded expression on his face.]

Where's the last one?

The four of us are enough!

[Yes there's a absence of Cure Beauty in the group as Aka Oni flips a table, but not literally.]

EH?! So cheeky! I'll beat you up with a Red nose! COME ON OUT AKANBE!

[In a flash of light a Akanbe is made out of a discarded problems book as Aka Oni exclaims,] GO BEAT THEM UP!

Cure Sunny!

You're challenging me? I accept!

Here's your problem! [And the Akanbe opens up its cover to reveal... an English Problem?]

What? Problem?

How do you say "Watashi no namae wa Cure Sunny-desu." in English?

English?! I uh...! Watashi Cure Sunny!

[There's a sound like a buzzer and everyone gets a O_o expression on their faces as Sunny flips the heck out.]

The answer is "My name is Cure Sunny." Akanbe! [And crossing it's arms, it fires a giant X which traps Sunny inside it!

What's going on? I can't move!

If you answer wrong, you get trapped with an X! [Aka Oni is winning. And to make matters worse, it's Yayoi's turn.]

Cure Peace!

Leave this to me!

Problem! 1+2+3+4= ?

[Really. Really? Yayoi is desperately counting on her fingers. And for a long moment there's silence before music begins to play... And Aka Oni and everyone else starts to sing! Including the Akanbe.]

( Read more... )

N-not helping!

The answer is 10! Akanbe!

[Just another day for the Smile Precure apparently.]

(thor is sitting on his bed, back toward the artifact as if he hasn't been able to sleep. it starts quiet at first, as if he's unsure what he's saying:)

A falling star fell from your heart
And landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them
And now it's left me blind.

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart.

(his hands run through his hair, reaching for his actual pants(!) and a shirt, before it follows him walking through asgard, the eyes of people watching their prince move through its halls, his voice getting louder.)

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped and I was in the darkness
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart.

(before he breaks into a run, running faster and faster to the broken bifrost before standing on the edge, looking over to the same wormhole that took loki from him.)

I took the stars from my eyes and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart.

[Jak's off on a rooftop somewhere, looking down into... well, it's kind of a dump, actually, all broken concrete and discarded boards and muddy sandbars in a lake of grimy water. Standing up above everything on a little island are the remains of a hut. This is Dead Town, and it's all that remains of the village Jak grew up in.]

Wonder if it's weird that I still want to save a world, even if it's not this one, and even if the person I'd be saving it from used to be pretty nice.

[He sighs a little, shakes his head, and starts singing softly, almost to himself.]

( Tryin' to earn a set of feathery wings... )

[You see the living room of the apartment that Cinderella is currently living in. After a few seconds Cindy comes in, drops her purse on the coffee table and starts going about the apartment. It looks like she's starting to pack for a trip somewhere, and her actions suggest that she is a bit irritated at the moment. She starts humming to herself and then soon starts to sing song. Though her voice is not exactly that of a singer. Disney princess she is not, after all.]

Your words are pretty but I already know who you are.
I knew you before you met me long before we would part.
Before you tricked me and laid on my bones.
Before you kissed me and buried my hope.
Before you stole stole my spirit and rode the show into the wall.

They shore you up. They lay all their dreams on you.
They let you in and you start to believe you're soft as a miracle.
Unfurled, I was new and unfurled.
Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping for paradise.

Yeah I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
So I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.

Love leaves you desperate and feeling a fool.
Love makes you ruthless and love makes you cruel.
And love makes you crazy with nothing but lies.
Love promises nothing and then your love dies.

Unfurled, I was new and unfurled.
Innocent and open as any lamb and hoping for paradise.

Yeah I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.
So I hate love.
Yeah I hate love.

Then your love dies.
Then your love dies.
Then your love dies.

[She pauses in her actions for a sec and blinks.]

Well, that was weird...

[She notices the her laptop is recording and with annoyed groan, she goes to close it, ending the video.]

[The video starts with Lilith is walking quietly through an empty church. She's in her usual colorful attire which looks out of place in a Catholic church. The singing starts as she nears the front. It is soft and peaceful as expected of Lilith.]

Crimson lights the sky, the bird still asleep
Like a dream it shines, from heaven's safe keep

[She stops singing until she reaches the front and kneels in prayers. Lilith only pauses to retrieve an old photo from a pouch. Yes, that background sure looks a lot like a desert or Mars. Lilith runs her fingers over it affectionately before continuing the song. She's caught up in whatever memories the photo evokes.]

Children's songs we sung, as soft as the breeze
Endless fields, our home, I long for those days

[She stops to bow her head and focus on prayer. The community isn't about to let her stop there so enjoy Lilith singing about it rather than doing it.]

I call out these prayers to the sky, heavy with thought, see your face
I carry these memories inside, thoughts of a soul colored by love
See me grow wings and fly high, passions will die down below

[Something darkens in Lilith's expression and her head lifts to examine the photo closely once more. This time whatever memories it brings up are clearly painful. She takes her time singing out every verse with great care.]

I burn in a basin of fire, watchers look on as they dance in their merciless sky
Watching me, watching you

Silent black, the dawn, and time tells its tale
Darkened blood, it flows, the forest receives
Look within the dark as deep as you dare
There inside you find destruction you seek

[She tries to rally against it and returns to the chorus with hope.]

I call out these prayers to the sky, heavy with thought, see your face
I carry these memories inside, thoughts of a soul colored by love
See me grow wings and fly high, passions will die down below
I burn in a basin of fire, watchers look on as they dance in their merciless sky
Watching me, watching you, watching me.

[Lilith shakes her head and goes to stand. She isn't going to find solace here today. The feed cuts.]
