| Overseas Otaku Buying Tips
Making online purchases/pre-orders especially for Jpop CDs and anime/game PVC figures have always been the best option for me (and many otakus who do not live in Japan). Listed below are my wish list, preorders and purchases from these reputable online companies. Your purchase via these links supports this site :)

 • YesAsia (Bought my Jpop CD/DVD here)
 • J-list (many 'weird' Japanese stuff)
 • HobbySearch (Comprehensive inventory
     but no free shipping and no shipping cost
     provided upon placing an order )
 • HLJ (very good alternative to HobbySearch)
 • E2046 (many figures & rules in resin kit)
 • Play-Asia (My #1 online shop)

Tag: Anime, Bakemonogatari, Ghostory, Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari, Lyrics
So I had been watching Bakemonogatari repeatedly and looping its ending theme song "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" a.k.a Your Unknown Story on my PC, iPod and PSP as evidenced on my last.fm widget (right column) for a while. And it has thus finally made it to an entry here. Lyrics & translations and PV found below.

Bakemonogatari is easily the best summer anime as concurred by many anime fans on every episode's comments here. It is also agreed upon that the main attraction of Bakemonogatari is the dialogue and interaction between sharp-tongued tsundere Senjougahara Hitagi and male protagonist Araragi Koyomi. While Bakemonogatari do not feature very advanced animation, SHAFT did give it a solid and unique presentation and so far (ep.06) there is no such thing as filler episode for this anime (good if you hate Endless Eight). If you like reading scene-to-scene break down review and detailed analysis of Bakemonogatari awesomeness for each episode, go here.

Note: This anime is also known as Ghostory or more accurately, Monstory. (Visit official site here)

Plot: "Bakemonogatari centers on Koyomi Araragi, a third year high school student who is almost human again after briefly becoming a vampire. One day, a classmate named Hitagi Senjougahara, who infamously never talks to anyone, falls down the stairs into Koyomi's arms. He discovers that Hitagi weighs next to nothing, in defiance of physics. After being threatened by her, Koyomi offers his help, and introduces her to Meme Oshino, a middle-aged homeless man who helped him stop being a vampire...

Bakemonogatari's ending song is composed by unfamiliar face Ryo-san/Supercell and sung by Nagi/Gazelle, an icon in the Nico Nico Douga according to here. And it does seem that the CD+DVD version of Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari has a significantly high demand that it is now labelled Out of stock at many online stores. CD-only version is still easily available however.

いつも通りのある日のこと
君は突然立ち上がり言った
「今夜 星を見に行こう」

たまにいいこと言うんだね
なんて 皆して言って笑った
明かりもない道を
馬鹿みたいにはしゃいで歩いた
抱え込んだ孤独や不安に
押し潰されないように

真っ暗な世界から見上げた
夜空は 星が降るようで
いつからだろう 君のことを
追いかける 私がいた
どうかお願い 驚かないで
聞いてよ 私の
この思いを

「あれが、デネブ、アルタイル、ベガ」
君は指差す 夏の大三角
覚えて 空を見る
やっと見つけた 織姫様
だけどどこだろう 彦星様
これじゃ 一人ぼっち

楽しげな ひとつ隣の君
私は何も言えなくて
本当はずっと 君のことを
どこかでわかっていた
見つかったって 届きはしない
だめだよ 泣かないで
そう言い聞かせた

強がる私は臆病で
興味がないようなフリをしてた

だけど

胸を刺す痛みは増してく
あぁそうか 好きになるって
こういうことなんだね

どうしたい?
言ってごらん?
心の声がする
君の隣がいい
真実は残酷だ

言わなかった 言えなかった
二度と 戻れない
あの夏の日 煌めく星
今でも思い出せるよ

笑った顔も 怒った顔も
大好きでした
可笑しいよね
わかってたのに
君の知らない 私だけの秘密

夜を越えて 遠い思い出の
君が 指をさす
無邪気な声で
On a day like every other day,
You suddenly stood up and said,
“Tonight let’s go see the stars”

“You say good things once in a while”
Said everyone as they laughed
On a street with no light
We walked while having fun like idiots.
In order to crush,
The loneliness and uncertainty we were carrying.

I looked up from a pitch black world
The night sky seemed as if it was raining stars
I wonder when, I started to
Chase after you.
Please, somehow
Don’t be surprised and listen
To these feelings of mine.

“That’s Deneb, Altari, and Vega”,
You finger pointed at the Summer Triangle.
I remember and looked at the sky.
I finally found Vega,
But where are you, Altair?
If it’s like this, you’re all alone.

The cheerful you who was one next to me,
I couldn’t say a word to you.
Truthfully, I understood my feelings for you,
Somewhere a long time ago.
I found it, but I won’t tell you.
“That’s no good, don’t cry”
Please let me hear that from you.

I was a coward and put on a tough face,
I pretended to be uninterested.

But…

The pain piercing my chest increased
Ah, I see. To like someone,
Is something like this.

What’s the matter?
Try saying it?
My heart is beating
I’m fine by your side
The truth is cruel.

I didn’t say it,
I couldn’t say it.
We can never return.

To that summer day,
To those shining stars.
Even now, I still remember.
Your laughing face,
Your angry face.
I loved you.

It’s strange, isn’t it?
Even though I know that.
Something you don’t know,
A secret for me alone.
Across the night,
From a distant memory,
You pointed with your finger,
And in an innocent voice
