This is kinda belated, but I finally went and found the translated version of Tamaki's image song (*person who generally ignores lyrics, especially if the song starts with crash bang "tssuuuuuuumi waaaaaa")
The crime is that God created me beautifully
I'm wrong to be reflected in your eyes
The punishment is that I'm overfilled with love
Nevertheless, I'll still love you, right?
GUILTY BEAUTY LOVE
Open the door, take a step forward, and welcome to the world of your dreams
I'll escort you, kneel, and kiss your hand
Even a shy goddess looked back at the LUCKY GUY
Because I'll heal your tired heart
The crime is that everything I touch falls in love
It's completely not your fault for having your heart stolen
The punishment is that I infinitely offer up love
Nevertheless, you'll still touch me, right?
GUILTY BEAUTY LOVE
The moon appearing at night is me, and you, who embraces and burns, are the sun
We meet and it's so blindingly bright that shadows can't form
When I deliver a bouquet of passion, CUTIE LADY
Here, you're always a Heroine
The crime is that God gave me these lips
I'm wrong to have invited you into a dream
The punishment is that I'm overloaded with love
Nevertheless, you're still charmed by me, right?
GUILTY BEAUTY HEART
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder Hatori said in her freetalk "環!!你怎麽可以那麽自戀?!我覺得寫這首歌的人是天才!"
*噴飯*
能一口氣唱下來的宮野前輩也不簡單!!*Worships Miyano-san* And he sang it with such conviction XDDD
(偶爾會想象一個真人在那裏說這些話……不由得狂黑綫,忽然非常同情鏡夜……)

Date: 2007-06-28 12:28 pm (UTC)The characters in PGE are so boring compared to Host Club...it's just lady killer #1, 2, 3 and 4, and a girl who "is ugly but in dramatic moments is actually really really really beautiful"....which kinda makes you ask "uh, so what was the point of this series to begin with?!"
I'm speaking from the manga of both series, of course ==; I'm more a manga fan than an anime fan. Hehe...I can never forget the first day I read Host Club and thought I inadvertently stumbled on some poorly-drawn creepy shounen-ai, until the hilarious reveal at the end of the chapter (Tamaki: "Haruhi, you're a girl?" Haruhi: "Biologically speaking, yes." Tamaki: "#$(*$&(?!?!?!"...which in my opinion was 10 times funnier than the lightbulbs in the anime XDDDD)

Date: 2007-06-28 02:29 pm (UTC)Personally I don't see PGE as breaking out of conventions. It really undermines its premises (and I hate manga that does that, because it's such a letdown) by making the girl actually really really beautiful. It's kinda like that anime cliche of people who take off their glasses look really good. The girl has to beautiful before she kicks ass (she never does anything useful in her chibi "ugly" form). And the girl is so unrealistic it's annoying. Haruhi on the other hand is such a realistic character that her deadpans make everything so much more hilarious.
...And I guess I've just been exposed to Jap culture for too long. Host Club's infinitely funnier because it satirises so many Jap trends. The concept of "host club" itself, the "prince in shining armour" (Tamaki), twincest (Hikaru/Kaoru), shota (Hani), the crossdresser (Haruhi), cosplay, otakus...it even made fun of the Shinsengumi fangirlism (which gets bonus points in my book) XDDD
That's why I said Host Club never should have been released to western audiences =/ You really have to know Jap culture to get it, cos otherwise it would be several gigantic "ewww"s along the way. The concept of "Host Club" is too unfamiliar to western audiences, and the closest equivalent we have is "brothel", which is totally not the same thing at all!
And besides, there are so many cross-references!! How can you not laugh at the "Uki*Doki Memorial"?? XDDD (There's a dating sim called "Tokimeki Memorial (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokimeki_memorial)" that was really really popular at one time...)
I might find PGE funnier if I was more into the Jap goth/punk culture. But personally I also prefer Host Club art more than PGE...PGE just comes across as lazy....and I'm really not into the visual kei (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_kei) look.

Taking a walk in Shinjuku after 10pm will give you a crash course = =+
PGE...was a bit too conventional shoujo for me = =+ I think I only read up to vol 3 Orz

Date: 2007-06-29 11:36 am (UTC)I soooooo wanted to headslap the idiot who said "Host Club is just a Fruits Basket wannabe *whine whine whine*"
OMG dude, you obviously haven't read Fruits Basket (or Host Club, or been to Japan). Furuba's so bloody angsty and full of stupid plot holes I feel really really glad I didn't collect the damn thing. Can't anyone get through a single chapter without bursting into tears?! I'm never going to read her stuff again...she did the same thing in her older manga as well =[
I love the twins too XDDD "Nande Kaoru wa seme?" *Cannot stop sniggering*
PGE was so dumb ==; And none of the characters are vaguely interesting or different from conventions....=/
And I keep getting the feeling that the mangaka is laughing harder at her own jokes than we are Orz
