There's a lot of things I guess I'd want to say.
Firstly, it's April. Yet another year and yet another spring and yet another curtain of the life of sakura blooms...meaning graduation and else.

Mukaida Manatsu. That strawberry girl has gone for that common reason. I can't help but feel pained.
Deguchi Aki. The ert who harrasses children.
KIto Momona. The one I hope you don't remember as scandal, but rather as someone-Peach-san, the one who seems to like strawberries.
Matsumoto Rina. A bit weird like all KII. She was alluring in the KataFina MV. I don't understand why...

And the two Shiori who announced their graduation just recently.

Of the two, I only really got to know a bit about Kaneko. 
Was it really real?
That Kin-chan?
That seemingly airheaded one who served styrofoam?
That Kaneko Shiori who I had unknowingly liked from the inner parts of my heart.

I don't really know anymore. Then again, graduation is something that continously chips away at our hearts.
I love SKE. But, SKE is changing.
I can't deny that change isn't a bad thing.
But, I feel as if the SKE I love is gradually slipping away from my grasps.
Yet, I cannot bring myself to dislike the current SKE...

My heart aches. My tears fall.
I'll never regret knowing about SKE. 
Even as just another spectator behind the glass that can be looked into, but not out....

Next time...I know that I must... I must at least say one thing: "Thank you."

Life continues. Things continue on. In no time, another year will likely soon pass. And yet more shall leave.
All I can do is hope that they enjoy a happy, wondrous life afterwards.

Looking at the present, or still into the future, the General Elections are coming.
I wryly laugh since I know this is just another way Akimoto Yasushi makes business...
In other words, ripping people out of their money indirectly.

Rather than shamelessly promoting my oshimen at this time,
I'd say....if you think...if you think that your oshimen is important...
...and she doesn't have much left to do in AKB or whatnot...

If she has some kind of dream that she will go for soon...
If graduation seems to be coming eventually...even if it doesn't this year...
I'd say, don't just sit there and gawk. Somehow, try to support her if you think she wishes to rank one last time or something.

Yes. I feel preachy...so, on that Election topic, I'll be quiet.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

Eventually, all will probably fade into nothingness.

Still, I simply sit in front of my laptop, living yet not-living fully, playing yet not playing another game.
What a Beautiful....
Shikkoku no Sharnoth.
A wonderful game....
With wonderful characterization....
Beautiful voice acting....
Elegant visuals that draw one in.
Even with a bit of repetition that falls into the style of the author...
It's a wonderful visual novel....
Happiness, joy, and all from that...
Eventually it will all end.

Still, enjoy it when it lasts.

Games....or the ones we love-idols, companions, etc-rather than depressingly thinking about the worst.
Look into the future. So, yea...
Happiness is fleeting. But, just like sakura...one should learn to enjoy the moments rather than grimacing at the quick fall.

And I wonder...why the heck did this turn into preaching about being happy when I can't be like that myself?
Anyways....I guess it might as well be true-at least the sadness coming with graduation.
And the fact that Shikkoku no Sharnoth is a wonderful game....
