Sharing some Gatch-related Tunes

I must be crazy for doing this, especially since I just replied to a thread about Piracy.

Anyway, my friend asked me if I could send her two songs.

The first is the ballad "Ginga No Kou" by Isao Sasaki. You probably know Sasaki-san as the Japanese seiyuu of Condor Joe in Gatchaman. His voice is so wonderfully deep and I really fell in love when I heard him sing this ending theme from the anime "The Galaxy Railways".

The other is "Gatchaman No Uta" by Ichiro Mizuki from Gatchaman OVA. According to my nephew Enzo (who is probably crying right now because he's leaving Japan to move to Virginia. He's an anime fan, so leaving Japan is depressing him a lot!), Ichiro-san is also known as Ken's "singing" seiyuu.

Rather than just give the links to Aya, I thought I'd share them with everyone as well. Condors and Eagles, you can imagine your fave heroes singing these songs to you. Wave2

Gatchaman No Uta 94 by Ichiro Mizuki

Hope you like them!

You are most welcome, CD!

But I should also thank you for getting me a shelf in the Library. Sadly, that good for nothing boss of mine gave me labor on Labor Day, doing a couple of articles. So I'll be re-uploading the fics in the shelf over the weekend. Crying1

I've just finished the final layouts so I could submit them to the witch at last. Been at it since 3 am this morning. Need sleep sleep4

Sorry to hear that she got you to work on your day off.
To bad you didn't do what I sometimes do, don't answer the phone on my day's off. Unless I have made an arrangement before hand. That way my boss can not contact me and ask me to come in.

Not that is likely to happen in the job I have as a teacher. It is only during report card time where I have to be available for all teachers in case they have problems with the computerized mark and comment entry system.

Sad to say, the articles are going to come out in this...AGAIN...delayed May 1-15 issue, so I have to rush. Usually, I unplug the phone, but I was waiting for an important call and she called up first.

Hard to be an editor/journalist.

Oh I let the answering service take my calls and then I figure out how important it is to get in touch with the person.
A month ago my Principal left a short message "We have had a staff situation, please contact me before Monday." I figured no biggie some staff member is ill and we will have to cover for a few days and then left the call until the afternoon. Only to discover a son of a staff member had been killed/murdered.

Luckily, I've learned to say no for certain things she wants me to do, like attend lousy press conferences. Besides, she doesn't pay me on time, so why should I do everything she says? If it's really that important, I do it. If it's merely to save *her* from attending events that she has said she'll go to, I definitely say no.

Urggh! That's terrible! Something similar happened to me years ago. I was working for another publication then and I was told to attend an emergency press con by a government official. I said no, but I ended up changing my mind at the last minute. The next thing, I knew I was right smack in the middle of the famous Philippine People Power Revolution surrounded by soldiers, tanks, and praying nuns, with fighter planes flying above my head. Where the heck were the Kagaku Ninjatai when *I* needed them? MG40

Yes the school was. The Principal could barely hold it together during the morning staff meeting on Monday morning. For a week we had a crisis team in the school to deal with any children who might be upset as well as any staff.

Rory, it sounds like you are a stronger person than I am. At least in the NO department. Winknudge

Actually...it's quite easy. I just remember the simple fact that my bitchy editor HAS NOT PAID me for the five articles she asked me to do for a previous issue, and voila! "NO!"

The Eagle must have been the one who pushed me before that paratrooper before he landed on my head. Someone had pushed me out of the way, but I never knew who it was. But everyone was telling me that I almost got squished. Man, those were the days!

Maybe I would feel that way too, if it happened to me.

Pray that it does not happen to you. I must admit it was really scary, but at the same time very exciting. Just last year, I was within the vicinity of the hotel that was taken over by rebel soldiers. I seem to attract rebellion/revolutions or something.

Now, I hie myself off to bed for a little nap. I told my boss I won't go to work today since she had me up all night doing rush work. Have a nice night, CD!

Sounds pretty frightening. Panzer

Oh it was, believe me! Up to now, I'm still amazed that it ended so peacefully. The tension was incredible, but everyone was praying, giving food and drinks. Everyone was scared, you can tell, but in the typical Filipino way, what should have been a bloody revolution turned into a huge fiesta of sorts. Someone up there must have been watching over us.

BTW, were you able to check out the songs?

Sorry, gotta run. Hard to keep my eyes open. Yawn!
