Theme song for Lamination

I have a friend in Earth, who is addicted to "action movies". He can talk about them for a long time without getting bored with his subjects; and when it comes to the "blockbusters", he can analyse its strong and weak points in every detail, and that makes me think of him as a potential critic in his later life. He shows me lots of movies that's "worth seeing for once in your life" and I was indeed get hook up to his comments. The movies are great, without doubts, but there's just one thing that makes me wonder. Why do the theme songs always sound so heavy and ear - piercing? Why can't they be instrumental ?

I like instrumental music, and I know no songs beyond this kind; that's for sure, and that's part of the reason. Some instrumental pieces can take the role of action movies' theme songs without making any contrast, compared to the content. Without lyrics, audiences can understand instrumental music in every way they want to. As for the theme song of Lamination's live action, I think the song "Tempest" from album "The Red Violin" of Ikuko Kawai suit it the most; it has what it takes to be a theme song. This song is performed by Ikuko herself and a group of musicians with other instruments like piano, guitar and drum.

To me, the word "tempest" simultaneously pull the trigger of the gun of words; "rush","fast","short - term", etc;every word that can describes this song.In fact, I've hardly listened to this song,simply because it sounded so strong that didn't suit my taste. But when actually I listen to it time after time, many images pop up inside my mind,and I can feel them, as a tempest. Every rthym overlaps on my heart beat. There is image of Major Sara Intergra falling down from a skycraper, her eyes still open wide without a blink - perhaps it's because the sad rhymths in the beginning. When they become faster, others images instantly show up: a scene of LaMBs rushing into a battle with ugly aliens, with their cold and calm eyes; without fear, without hesitance.As the destruction speeds up, the violin sound also winds up,the latter overlap the former; the artist pulls the bow with all her strength and passion. The perfect combination shakes me constantly, penetrate through my mind, as if it was seeking for a glimpse of my conscious mind to destroy it all.

Of all my heart, I think this is the best song I've ever heard today. Let's just enjoy it, and feel the rhymth that beats constantly. You'll see what I'm talking about is true.

Tempest - Ikuko kawai

Take a Closer Look

Not believing in the existence of LaMB is one thing; imagining that it does exist is another. Now, I'm doing the second task.

We all grow old, regardless of the fact that we're from different places in the universe. That is one of some aspects we have in common; and another, is that us all have always been seeking for a breakthrough in Science that may deter such process.

LaMB exists, if yes, to be a perfect variant of prison; never can it appear to be a leading institution of beauties preservation. Were I a Cerra inhabitant, I would never commit a crime that costs me a LaMB - being life . Why is that ? Well, being a LaMb is like being a wax model in Madame Tussauds - the only difference is that you're not immobile. Beauty doesn't just lie in the big eyes, fleshy lips or a well - proportioned body. It lies in the manifestations of your feelings that show through your facial expressions, your speeches and words, and your actions. LaMBs are restricted of all the basic gestures as such, therefore, they're not at all looks like a living creatures. As for me, a life like this is worthless. When I love someone, I want to show it; I want to hug them, and tell them so. When there's a thing that makes my happiness comes to the extrene, I want to show it my gratitude. And I want to laugh when I'm with my best friends. Even if I get older as time goes by, I still want to smile till life ends; as my wrinkles appear, I want people to understand that every piece of me is smiling as well; as my hair turns white, I want to show that I've been through ups and downs of life at will. That's what a "human's life" supposed to be.

On the other hand, every living needs a target. LaMBs have no target, do they? They live in a life with orders. "Out of order" means they're a broken - down "persocone". A life without free will is not worth living; a person who lives his life without an aim is a disgrace - nothing more, nothing less. I have no wish of being beautiful this way. If I posess an eternal beauty but I can't do things at will, then I'm always ready to give it away, as I don't need it. I don't want to be order around, to do stuffs that I don't want to; and I as well don't want to put up with things that I could barely come in terms with. There's no point in living a life in which you can never stand up for yourself or speak up for your mind. There's also a saying I heard somewhere:" I left because I got sick of a boring life only following orders."

That's what a "human's life" supposed to be.

But even a lamb needs it.

Notwithstanding, if this system is well - executed, I think it would be a perfect punishment that may can be applied to serious criminals who have no sense of regreting what they've done.
