Dear 木村さん、お返事からどうもありがとうございます。Every time 木村さんはお返事すれば、私は本当に嬉しくになりますよ。(^_^U)

事前に、私の悪い日本語から、許してくれて下さいね。一生懸命、clear 返事を書きます。(^^U)

>> どこの国もArtistや音楽家はそういうもんだと思うよ。

そうですね。多分、どこの国もArtistや音楽家はそんなattitude(態度?)があるでしょうね。私はしかチリ人のArtistsについてを知りませんから、彼らについてを書きました。(^^)

>> でもそれが悪いとも思わない。

そうですね。Attitudeはそれ自体で悪くないかもしれませんのに、some fans はそのattitudeに苦しまするね。ある程度、その苦しみはそんなattitudeが悪くなるとでしょうか。

>> ただ私はそういう時期も通過して[···]

なのに、木村さんがそういう人達の違うだと思います。過去に、木村さんはそんなattitudeがあったかもしれませんが、近頃に、きっとその attitudeがありません。木村さんは変わるの力があって、変わりました。それらはとても大切なだと思います。もしかしたら、木村さんは”何かはこれ と間違っている”と思ったかもしれなくて、変わりまして、今私は木村さんにこの返事を書いています。そして、木村さんはこの返事を読みます。私は「だれも に書いていない」という感じがありません!! That’s the whole point, see? それから、木村さんがそういう人達の違うだと信じますよ。(^_^)

>> 私はただの音楽家に過ぎず、賢者でも権力者でもありませんから。

たとえ”ただ音楽家”を言っても、私は木村さんが特別な人だと思います。本当に!　それはただお世辞を言うものではありません!　多分、賢者でも権力者で もありませんでしょう。でも、きっと影響がある人だと思います(私にしか影響がありませんね。妹にも、他のFANにも···)。とても知能が高くて、面白 い人だと思います。木村さんはとても教養のある人で、たくさんの興味があり、百のアイディアがありますから。本当に”ただ音楽家”ではないだと思います。 だから、私は木村さんにとても関心しますよ。そして、木村さんに知り合いになれば、知り合うほどもっと関心しますよ。木村さんのブログを読むたびに、もう 一つの新しい思いつきを見つかります。先日、Electropicaの木村さんのブログを読んでいまして、新しいことを習いました。例えば、「車のマフ ラーの位置が犬の目線と近距離にある事で犬の健康被害、例えば犬が失明するなどの現実がある」を読めば、私は(O_O)で、とてもびっくりしました。私は それを全然知らなかったよ。それの前に、一度も、私はその事を考えたことがありません。木村さんがそれを書きましたから、それを知って、もっとの方法を探 せます。木村さんはそんなことを書くから、人達に新しいことを教えています(多分知っていないでしょう)。

それはただ例えばですね。他のことがたくさんあります。木村さんはcharityに興味があり、ちょっとのpoliticsに興味もあります、etc. 大抵、有名な人でも、普通な人でも、そんな事に興味がありません。でも、木村さんの書くことを読めば、自分の考え方は変われるかもしれなく、もっと良い人 になるかもしれません。この世界で、人は自分のことしか心配しません。良い心のある人が少ないです。でも、木村さんの心は良いを溢れそうです。木村さんの ように、大切なことも考えなければなりません。そうすれば、この世界はもっと良い所になるかもしれません。

もう一度、これはとても本当ですよ。ただお世辞を言うもの全然ではありませんね。

>>　インターネットが登場して、私と同じように感じて活動している人はきっとどこかにいると信じています。

そうですね。Hard to believe でも、私もそれを信じていますよ。(^.^)

>> こんな時代にインターネットを見ていない振りは通用しないでしょう。（笑）

（笑）
はい、はい、そうでしょうね! (^_^)

···　じゃ。これが終わりですね。間違いがあれば、許してくれて下さいね。勿論、これに答えたいと思えば、コメントをしても、木村さんのブログで書いて も、私はとても嬉しくなりますよ。あっ!　わからないことがあれば、質問もあれば、私に言ってみて下さいね。その場合は、もう一度、もっとclear的な 説明を書いてみますよ。(^_^)

事前に、お返事から、どうもありがとうございます。(^o^)

敬具、木村さんのチリ人fan と「木村さんの友達になりたい」人から···
AJCV. (^_^v)

P.S.: アンドレアと呼んもいいですね。アンドレア·クルネスはとても丁寧だと思います。チリで人は大切な人と話すときは、名字(例:クルネスですね)を使います。友達と家族と話すとき名前(例:アンドレアですね)を使います。私の日本語の先生は「アンドレアさん」と読みますね。木村さ んは「アンドレア」やほかの方と呼んでもいいですよ。(^_^) 本当に!

Skins made by S. – Part I 1月 28, 2005

Ok, as promised, here are some pictures of the gorgeous skins S. made me for my Sim version of Ki.T.-sama. ^_^ All the credits on the pictures I’m posting goes to her! She made the skins, she put the Sims on the right poses and she put them over a suitable backgroung so… This is her work!! ^^

So…

1.- Ki.T.-san’s normal clothes.

I assume you remember the clothes I had made for my little Sim, right? Well. This is his new outfit. It’s based on the clothes we saw Ki.T-san was wearing in some reharsal sessions and in some live presentations on the Decadence Parade ‘03 tour. S. got inspiration from some of those scenes to make this gorgeous clothes. The mesh was downloaded from The Sims Resource and the poses were downloaded from some website I don’t remember. The cigarette prop was downloaded from Simbolix and the sunglasses prop was downloaded from ACCENTS.

What do you think?? I LOVE IT!!! (*.*) As you can see in the following pic, he looks gorgeous on the game!!!

^_^U

2.- Ki.T.-san’s hi-fashion clothes.

As you may know, since the release of The Sims ~ Superstar Expansion Pack, Sims can actually be singers, models or actors. Due to this new “occupations”, your artist Sims can wear clothes called “Hi-Fashion” clothes. Those are clothes that you only wear on Studio Town (the place where you go to achieve fame and become a superstar) that, supposedly, imitate the nice clothes artists wear on their live presentations or the costumes actors wear when perfoming on a play or something.

So, if your sim is an artist (as my Ki.T.-san sim is) he’ll have to have some nice hi-fashion clothes. And since the ones that come with the game are awful, S. agreed to make me a new skin for him so he could wear something more like him. I had tried to make him a skin based on the clothes he wore on the Pia Super Live Groove from September, 2004, but they weren’t really pretty, as you may see by this picture:

So S. started to work on some new clothes. Since she got several screenshots from the Decadence Parade ‘03 tour DVD, she started to look to every pic she had made (about 700) and she found one that looked OK for her. And here’s the result:

The pose was made from scratch by her and the mesh of the skin, again was downloaded from The Sims Resource. The above credits are also valid for this cigarette and sunglasses props. ^^

As many of you probably haven’t watched this DVD, here’s a great comparison so you can see how similar the skin is:

Unfortunately, my sim doesn’t have the amazing hair-cut and style Ki.T.-san had by then but he does look similar to the way he appears to be wearing his hair nowadays so… It’s kind of a mixture of looks. But he looks really nice on the game, look!

So… Now my little sim has beautiful clothes and I’ve taken dozens of pics of him in the game. That one is an example. He’s working on a recording studio, on Studio Town, after he’s finally become a Superstar. But here’s one that’s much better:

It displays my little Sim just coming back from Studio Town. He went upstairs, entered the room were he keeps his XVI century furniture collection and put the little trophy he had received for his excelent performance on Studio Town on the desk. Then he sat there and looked around satisfied of the little star that shines over his head and that proves to him (and to every other Sim in town) that he’s the local Superstar!!! ^^ That little star causes other people to get very excited whenever they see him or they are close to him (just like we, real fans, get whenever we’re close to our favorite famouse person, if we ever have that chance) and all. ^_~

And… Well. It’s more than enough of this little simmie for today. I guess tomorrow I’ll have plenty of pics of Se.Mo.-san version for the Sims, for your viewing pleasure. ^^

Now, I’m going to bed ’cause it’s 09:29 am here in Chile!!!! ^_^UUUUU

Listening to Ayumi Hamasaki’s song “Trust”, I’m starting this new entry. ^^ It’s weird to be listening to one of her songs. I don’t like her voice. In fact, we’re listening to this song ’cause we learned it was composed and/or arranged by Ki.T.-san and, therefore, we wanted to listen to it. ^_^U If it wasn’t because my dear Al.Mu. sent me a CD with some Ayumi Hamasaki tracks, we wouldn’t have been able to listen to this song!! ^o^ ¡Muchas gracias, querido niño! ^_~

….

What has happened lately? Not much. We’ve been playing the Sims, listening to a lot of music and reading Ki.T.-san’s blog. Also, we read the updates on my beloved’s blog today, in the morning. I’m so happy because of that! ^^ It’s not like my reading skills in Japanese have improved at all, but… Anyway. ^^U

One nice thing is that I got a mail from Ma.Ma. the other day. She sent me a little video as a present!! It was a… mmmm, somewhat “different” version of a clip for “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”. It the video a blue hipo and a little dog were doing a duet and singing this song. And the hipo faces were so funny!!! He put all his energy to sing!!! ^_^U And, no matter, the doggie was much more energetic and danced and all. it was so funny!!! ^________^ ¡Muchas gracias para ti también, amiguita! ^_^U

My poor friend told me she was pretty frustrated ’cause she has spent her vacations looking for a job so she could get some money and go on real “vacations” on February. Sadly, nothing came up and she won’t be able to go anywhere… Or so it seems. For me, that idea isn’t bad at all (I hate going out on summer) but she doesn’t like it being at home, so it’s quite bad news for her. Anyway, gambatte, Ma.Ma.! I’m sure you’ll find something nice to do during February. ^^ I’m sorry I’m of so little use for you during this time of the year (even maybe during the whole year I’m this useless?), ne!

What else? Oh, yes. I’m downloading Winamp 5.08. I don’t know what differences will have compared to Winamp 5.04 (which is the version I’m using now) but… Anyway it’s worth trying it, specially now that we’ve been listening SO much music lately.

And that reminds me that we need a new set of speakers for this old PC. When we bought our “newest” PC, it came with an extra set of speakers. But they weren’t too good and soon one of them died. So now this thing has to play the music through one speaker only and, obviously, it sounds awful. And yeah, we should play music on the “newest” PC but that’s the one we use to play The Sims so… We can’t play them and listen to music at the same time, and we usually listen to music while playing the Sims. So… We need to buy a new set of speakers, but they are expensive and M. has already spent lots of money on us.

And speaking about money, our package is still lost somewhere. M.’s secretary found that the package actually arrived at Stgo.’s post office and that they sent it to VDM the next day (Dec. 09th, 2004). But the people of VDM’s post office said they haven’t got any packages. They asked for a couple of days to “investigate” what’s happened but… I don’t know. I don’t trust them! So I wrote to CDJapan and let them know about what happened and they answered me saying they would also investigate what’s happening and that, if they haven’t told me anything in two weeks, I have to write to them again. If the package actually got lost, they’ll refund us the money or replace the items (which is the option I would chose since I WANT THOSE THINGS!!!! @_@). So… Hopefully the people of the post office here in VDM will find something regarding this matter and will let us know soon… I hope that goddamned package will appear!!!! (>.<)

I should try and write a couple of entries in Japanese. I promised Ki.T.-san I would write about what kind of music do I like and also that I would give him my opinion on some topics he was talking about on his blog but… I don’t know. It takes me so much time to write in Japanese some more or less clear sentence I really have to be on the mood for it. And I wanted to play Sims. I have to build M.S.-san’s house and I have to make Ki.T.-san to become a Superstar! ^^U

Speaking of The Sims, S. hasn’t taken any screenshots of the beautiful clothes she made for Se.Mo.-san and Ki.T.-san, so I can’t post them yet. ^^U

And… Well. I’ll stop here. I have some e-mails to answer and all but I don’t think I’ll reply them today. As I said, Sims are waiting for me. ^^

Oh, by the way… Maybe I’ll post some comments on what I’ve been listening to lately later. ^_~ There are some lyrics I want to post too ’cause they are so beautiful!!! But I have to look for them first. ^^U

So… Hasta la vista, baby. ^_~

やっと!!!!! ^o^ 1月 27, 2005
