Those words you gave me that day, even now,
Definitely reach my heart
I've realized my reason for having been born
Today more than I did yesterday

_{Background info:}
Once again, a shot from our GARventure photoshoot on an active volcano. Don't worry, that's not hot lava burning behind Simon. (BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME IF IT WERE.) We're not quite that crazy _...yet.

This shot was done as the sun was setting, when the sky suddenly exploded with color. After admiring its beauty, we remembered that we should at least try to take a nice photo with it. We actually had a bit of a dilemma because the settings we needed to capture the sunset left Chi as a dark silhouette against it. We didn't have any fancy lighting equipment, so Erving had El catch the flash from his camera to light up Chi. Meanwhile, I was failing as an art director because I kept making Chi laugh with my instructions to "stare hopefully into the distance".

Oh, I was playing around with audio software the other day and made an alternate version of Sorairo Days (Gurren Lagann opening song). Shoko Nakagawa fans, please don't kill me - I turned Shokotan into MANRY ShOTOKOMAN. I'm sure there are others who've done the same, but here's my take on it. The few people I've sent it to actually like it better than the original, haha.
