Nana Okada: Asymmetry

Terminamos el mes de septiembre con noticias jugosas del primer álbum en solitario de la magnífica artista Nana Okada. Habrá tres ediciones, cada una con una portada diferente, pero todas con un concepto común, la presencia de dos Nana Okada, reflejando su naturaleza dual. Os animo a ver el vídeo en enseña las tres ediciones y comenta su contenido. En esta bitácora nos hemos decantado por la tercera, el CD que incluye el tema extra.

Tema extra del que ahora sabemos el título al igual que el de los dos temas que también vienen en las otras dos ediciones y que podéis ver a continuación. Silent mermaid para nosotros es un título con la fuerza evocadora de los mitos más arcanos que nos hace sentir que hemos elegido bien. Qué ganas tenemos de que llegue a nuestras manos esta joya de la Cultura Pop, primer paso en solitario de lo que deseamos que sea una larga y exitosa carrera. Desde esta humilde bitácora haremos todo lo posible para que llegue a nuestra querida y admirada Nana Okada nuestro apoyo y os animamos a que hagáis lo mismo.

Back home

The inner circle of the Upstarts is missing. Since they were vanished by Augustus Severinus Píngolas in their new animal like forms, nobody has any clue about their whereabouts or their condition. The master of disguise has kept the secret, and insists that they need time to accept their new bodies. I must admit that I feel sad about them, specially for Rising Phoenix, who seemed more interested on earning my favor than ruling the world as the next bosses of the Academy. As for the rest, with the exception of the jealous Roaring Lion I barely know them.

Without their leaders, the Upstarts are going through a crisis, but the Academy has plenty of experience with that, so I wouldn't worry too much. However, I think we must keep an eye on them as much as search for their missing leaders. I think Augustus Severinus Píngolas went to far to prove that they weren't worthy of the Philosopher's Stone and may have created a huge threat for the world. Plus it's not like seeing six people turned into monsters, one of them a literal burning one doesn't leave a strong impression. The party ended but the aftermatch just begun.

The Philosopher's Stone unleashed

Augustus Severinus Píngolas didn't lose a moment and started to fiddle with the Philosopher's Stone while the Upstars just looked, as they were too shocked to react. Their guests seemed excited and curious to see what the master of disguise would do. "It's about time you experiment True Alchemy" As he finished that sentence, waves of energy came from the Philosopher's Stone flooding the stage covering the Upstarts. The effects were almost inmediate. Every one of them started to change, adopting features from the creature of their names. It was wild. But something in the process didn't seem right and it wasn't just the unbearable pain they were going through. Even Píngolas was a bit surprised, or as we found out very soon, dissapointed.

While the proud next generation of the Academy lost their human look before our eyes, Augustus Severinus Píngolas showed the PHilosopher's Stone, pointing at cracks that weren't there mere moments ago. "This stone is flawed, as I should have expected from their creators. It works for simple tricks but when you try to do something meaningful with it, it breaks down, leaving only tragedy behind as you can see in our hosts transformation into beasts." The Upstarts now looked and felt like monsters in pain, ready to attack anyone to make it go away. Just before they could something, the master of disguise used one last time the crumbling stone and... they were gone. "Don't worry too much about them. They are as safe as they can be. Wether they retain their human mind or not is unkwnown to me, but they will have a second shot at life. I hope they make better choices this time. And with this, I am afraid it's time to say goodbye. The Party is over." It was bizarre and sudden, but everybody just went along with this abrupt end and left the place. After a while, it was just Píngolas, me and some allies whose identity will remain a secret for now.
