カッコつけてるつもりで得意になって
kakko tsuketeru tsumori de tokui ni natte
大事な事は全部置き去りにしちゃって
daiji na koto wa zenbu okizari ni shichatte
自分で自分を苦しめているシュウジン
jibun de jibun o kurushimete iru shuujin
そんな僕にサヨナラさTransformation！
sonna boku ni sayonara Transformation!

闇が怖くてどうする
yami ga kowakute dou suru
アイツが怖くてどうする
aitsu ga kowakute dou suru
足踏みしてるだけじゃ
ashifumi shiteru dake ja
進まない

男なら　誰かのために強くなれ
otoko nara dareka no tame ni tsuyoku nare
歯を食いしばって　思いっきり守り抜け

ただそれだけ　できれば

All right!

今日もなんだかやる気が起きないなんて
kyou mo nandaka yaruki ga okinai nante
甘え尽くしの自分が本当は嫌いで
amaezukushi no jibun ga hontou wa kirai de
とりあえずは外（おもて）で深呼吸　更新
toriaezu wa omote de shinkokyuu koushin
そんじゃ今からしましょうかTransformation！
son ja ima kara shimashou ka Transformation!

弱気になってどうする
yowaki ni natte dou suru
明日の君はどうする？
ashita no kimi wa dou suru?
黙って下向いてちゃ
damatte shitamuite cha
聞こえない
kikoenai

男なら　誰かのために強くなれ
otoko nara dareka no tame ni tsuyoku nare
ぶつかり合って　精一杯やってみろ
butsukari atte sei-ippai yatte miro
泣いてもいいよ　また笑えればいい
naite mo ii yo mata waraereba ii
ただそれだけ　できれば
tada sore dake dekireba
英雄さ
eiyuu sa

wow~
wow~

男なら　誰かのために強くなれ
otoko nara dareka no tame ni tsuyoku nare
女もそうさ　見てるだけじゃ始まらない
onna mo sou sa miteru dake ja hajimaranai
これが正しいって　言える勇気があればいい
kore ga tadashiitte ieru yuuki ga areba ii
ただそれだけ　できれば
tada sore dake dekireba
英雄さ

男なら　誰かのために強くなれ

A rather dumb PV.

Student council presidential election is over.

The results were actually what I had expected from the start, nevertheless, I voted.
For whom I thought could be a better candidate.

What? I dunno about the qualities of the other party?
Oh, that’s right, that’s because I (and my friends as well) received no form of campaign activity whatsoever from that party.
So even if the candidate I voted for didn’t have a remarkable speech or campaign, I got to see the candidate in action at least.

I thought the election was flawed. One-sided.
I wasn’t the only one.

What? I dunno about the operations within the council, or the candidates themselves?
Oh, that’s right, that’s because we are so detached from the council.
The door of the council room is closed at all times, separating the council from the student body.

Almost one year in UB. I see no efforts made by the council to bridge with the student body.
Events were organized? Yeah, I know, but they appeal to only one particular group of the entire UB student population: those who enjoy partying and booze. Biased? Maybe I am, but that’s all I see from photos of past events. Even the ‘Red Carpet Affair’ isn’t so ‘red-carpet’ after all.
What about the other individuals and groups? People with different interests, different concerns?

As for the election, there was actually not much campaigning done. Most of the supporters of the candidates I observed were members of the council themselves, or really close friends.
I dun think the entire student body consists of such a small number.

What? Because we can’t be bothered?
True, but isn’t it one of the duties of the council? To get us connected to school affairs?

Anyway, all the best to the new council president.
My hopes, no matter how little it might be, are pinned on you now.

=)

A reply to this, and a reply from myself

Dude as a candidate, I did my best. And i believe some of u tagged in this note supported me but i wont agree that the elections was flawed one.

Besides I dont wish to mention names, but I asked someone who is tagged in this note, “HAVE u voted?” and the reply was “No, havent, I am lazy”.

So it kind of like my 4 days worth of visiting class to campaign went to waste. …

Anyway All i wanted to be the voice for u guys. but simply no one is bothered these days.

So, I would rather finish my mission which is to get good grades and mind my own business.

My total no of votes was 83. So I am glad I was able to reach out to 83 people.

In the future if people say the council is not doing their job, then my as well ask them to try standing for elections to make a change cause that’s what i did. And if i got 83 votes, i believe the people complaining better do a good job than me in their campaigning.

I respect and still respect my opponent, ….. If ….’s able to garner more votes than me , means to show that …. experience and …. reach to …. students is way higher than mine.

Morale of the story:
I dont complain, i rather get into the action and solve it.
In this case, I get into action, but I met 3 types of groups:

One group who doesnt give a shit and complain
One group who thinks the council is smooth and change is not needed
One group who wanted their voice to be heard.

Anyway Marcus nice note hope it reaches out

Mine: Yo, dun get me wrong. I did not write that your campaign was half-assed (to put it crudely). Just felt it can be better, and from comments I heard from supporters of the other party, that seemed to be the case.

Nevertheless, I know you’re giving it your all. =D

And by flawed, I dun mean by how the votes were gotten or whatsoever. Maybe that shouldn’t be the word to use, more of an ‘imbalance’….

And on the general UB student population being ‘not bothered’ by this election. There’s this saying about bystanders seeing the clearest of situations (rough translation here). This may sound hurtful, but seriously, I wasn’t really stirred. My group of friends weren’t either, and I’m unable to speak for the others. Since you have been involved in the campaigning from the very start, obviously things seemed to happen very rapidly for you and such, but we, the audience whose awareness was to be raised for it, received not much exposure whatsoever, except for the posters around school, FB groups, videos, etc.. Why are we blamed for insensitivity when we dun even know what we should be talking about?

Well, about garnering more votes than the other, I’ll use the videos as an example. The way I see it, most of the campaigning was done with intakes, cohorts, and council. BAC4 (Spring), my intake, we aren’t sure about anything from start to end of the election period, except those in the council. Campaigning, IMO, needs to reach far and wide, to make things more ‘objective’, or so to speak.

And about those who want change should go for practical action, every student has his/her concerns which is to be addressed or solved. Does that mean all of us should go for the election as well? Shouldn’t the council take this complaints as feedback, and work on them, instead of dissing them all away and challenging the students to take their places? Is it going a bit too political there?

Anyway, want you to know, bro, I voted for you because I could really feel you wanted change the way I had wished for; a resonance there. =D
This nevertheless is a priceless life experience, and let us continue working together as students of UB.
*thumbsup*

BUT HEY! You graduate earlier than me!!

Need I say more?

ツキアカリのミチシルベ (Tsuki-akari no Michishirube)
Performed by: ステレオポニー (STEREOPONY)
Theme Song of: DARKER THAN BLACK －流星の双子－
(DARKER THAN BLACK -Ryuusei no Gemini-)

答えのない毎日が　ただ過ぎていく時間が
kotae no nai mainichi ga tada sugite yuku jikan ga
これから先どうなるのだろう?　わからない…
kore kara saki dou naru no darou? wakaranai…

闇よりも深い夜の孤独に　惑わされてた
yami yori mo fukai yoru no kodoku ni madowasareteta
だれかに今気づいてほしい…　ここから逃げ出したいから
dareka ni ima kizuite hoshii… koko kara nigedashitai kara

窓から見える朝焼け　部屋に鳴り響く音
mado kara mieru asayake heya ni narihibiku oto
アラームに起こされて　薄暗い中　家飛び出すよ
araamu (alarm) ni okosarete usugurai naka ie tobidasu yo
カバンの中には　何も変わらない平凡詰め込んで
kaban no naka ni wa nani mo kawaranai heibon tsumekonde
そしていつもの場所へ
soshite itsumo no basho e

だれかが言った言葉が　気になって　惑わされて
dareka ga itta kotoba ga ki ni natte madowasarete
争いたくなんてないから　何もいえない
arasoitaku nante nai kara nani mo ienai
夢や理想はあるけれど
yume ya risou wa aru keredo
気持ちばかり先に行って
kimochi bakari saki ni itte
現実がずっと後ろから　ボクを見てる
genjitsu ga zutto ushiro kara boku o miteru

ねぇだれか教えて　みんなそうなのかな？
nee dareka oshiete minna sou na no kana?
今日が幸せなら　それでいいと思えるって
kyou ga shiawase nara sore de ii to omoerutte
幼いころには　確かにあったよ　夢を追いかけてた
osanai koro ni wa tashika ni atta yo yume o oikaketeta
でもそれも遠い記憶
demo sore mo tooi kioku

答えのない毎日が　ただ過ぎていく時間が
kotae no nai mainichi ga tada sugite yuku jikan ga
これから先どうなるのだろう?　わからない…
kore kara saki dou naru no darou? wakaranai…
ツキアカリのミチシルベ　雲を越えボクに届け
tsuki-akari no michishirube kumo o koe boku ni todoke
進むべき道を照らしてよ　今日がどんなに壊れそうでも
susumu beki michi o terashite yo kyou ga donna ni kowaresou de mo

何があっても　何があっても　信じてたいから
nani ga atte mo nani ga atte mo shinjitetai kara
あの日の遠い記憶　　呼び覚ますから
ano hi no tooi kioku yobisamasu kara
忘れないでね　胸に刻みつけ
wasurenaide ne mune ni kizamitsuke

答えは自分の中に　必ずあるものだから
kotae wa jibun no naka ni kanarazu aru mono dakara
あきらめないで　強く生きることをやめないで
akiramenaide tsuyoku ikiru koto o yamenaide
悲しすぎて　前に進めない時でも
kanashi sugite mae ni susumenai toki de mo
共に悩み歩んだぼくらに　風は吹く　どこまででも
tomo ni nayami ayunda bokura ni kaze wa fuku doko made de mo
