I was listening to two good songs: the Spanish version of "Hotel California" by the Gypsy Kings (which sounds very worldly and refreshing), and "A Day in the Life" by the Beatles. Both songs inspired me while I was watching the episodes of Ultra Maniac. At this point, you can download the subtitled videos, just use BitTorrent, and you're set.

Anyway, there's this sneaky nerd named Jun Kawakajima (I believe that's his name in proper English form). He seems to know about Nina's alter-ego, and aspires to make it known to the world. Therefore, I have decided to (at least for this chapter) divert from the waffy fruits and head into some idealistic dramatization. Anime spoilers, but it's worth it, baby. Enjoy.

Gimme Some Lovin
Phase 8:
Mr. Irrelevant

Hey. My name's Jun, and I have one purpose:
To make Sakura Nina's identity known
To a candid world.

Some call me Iinchou.
That's because I'm the class prez.
Sweet, no?
I'm usually referred to as...
Kawakajima-kun.
But you can call me...

Mr. Irrelevant.
A spoiled iconoclast trying to survive
In an middle-class,
Work hard, play hard, party hard
Society.
Rarely imitated, never duplicated,
Save that stupid moron from Hinata Sou.
(Like I care.
At least I'm gonna go to Toudai.
He isn't, as far as I know.)

Anyway...
I know, I know, this is an ambition
That is brazen, and I understand that.
But I think of it this way:
It's an attempt to make her famous,
And give me some money
That I long deserve!
(It's very hard tuition to get at Shuei,
I can tell you that much.)

It's a long story on how this all fell
Into retrospective.

One day, I was shopping at a
Local supermarket
In the suburbs of Tokyo.
There was this weird girl
Who looked like one of those
Card Captors, but wasn't.
Not. Even. Close.

Anyway, she had this cute kitty
That doubled as a silver-haired brat
That eats spaghetti for a favorite plate.
On top of that, she flies a scooter,
But she can't control it.
Well, barely.
She's not smart,
She's not strong,
But she does have ambition and perseverance.
Things I have naturally.

I never forgot about that.
Especially when the imposter
Card Captor resurfaced
As a transfer exchange student.

Whenever I try to capture
Her, so to make it known to
This candid world I lived in for so long,
It turns to waste.

She's not a good magician, either.
But she escapes so well.
One time, though, I managed to see
Her, again in her Card Captor garb,
Sans Clow Cards, of course,
At an outdoor retreat
In the West Hills.
No, I wasn't bought a new life,
But I was brought with a new memory.

Sometimes, I visualize her,
Walking next to me in her
Cheesy Card Captor garb.
I don't think Kinomoto-san
Would like it to see someone
Who looks like her,
And acts even worse than her.

I think Keroberos (I don't call him Cerberus,
a Greek god already has the copyrights to that)
Would outdo Rio anytime.

Even the principal has to
Watch
My
Every
Move
As well.
I feel...like I am the principal's pet.
It's fine with me,
But it has nothing to do with me.

The more I think about it,
Ayu and Nina seem very funny together.
A comedy pair, as Tsujiai once put it.

I think Nina would be more worth her
Card Captor garb, if she didn't need
Her computer. She'd definitely make
The world a better place.
Disappointing, but that's typical of her.

But still, Nina has good intentions,
Has good ambitions,
And excellent perseverance.
She doesn't show it,
But it's there:
To make her friends,
The world,
And society
A better place.

And I have been committed to immortalize
Those qualities
To a bigger audience.
I have never forgotten that.
That's why I always have my camera around.
And that's why you can call me...

Mr. Irrelevant.
A spoiled iconoclast trying to survive
In an middle-class,
Work hard, play hard, party hard
Society.

End Phase 8
Give me your thoughts on Jun. He's quite a naïve kid, but he'll get over it. Just like Nina with the computer and mini-treasure box. ^_^v
