unfinished song - invalid (tablo- tomorrow cover)

No no no no more tomorrow
No no no no more tomorrow

You got someone's love, that doesn't mean that you have it
You keep walking, that doesn't mean time passes
You keep breathing, that doesn't mean you're alive

[Chorus]
Baby there's no no tomorrow
I'm still exactly the same as then
The time stopped right at the last moment
However it's just the past to you
Baby there's no no no no more tomorrow
(till you come back everyday is yesterday)
Baby there's no no no no more (no more) tomorrow

[Verse 1]
The memories that linger tear up my heart
knowing it should be me
laying there in slumber
I pretend to live forgetting you
My world is still same (only there's no you)
they say I will smile recalling the past
For me you lay closed eye, ceasing growing
living in a place of white surrounded by death
I'm staying here
Cause tomorrow is never a new day
without you after a storm it’s never calm
Everything is a mess
It's spring again you see but your season don't change
Even though my heart beats (I've got no tomorrow)

[Chorus]
Baby there's no no tomorrow
I'm still exactly the same as then
The time stopped right at the last moment
However it's just the past to you
Baby there's no no no no more tomorrow
(till you come back everyday is yesterday)
Baby there's no no no no more (no more) tomorrow

Spoken poem (song) rough


(HOS)
listen here none but the rich can survive here
once poor worked for a love now dead

change this place with my cooped up hatred
don’t needa love a world that took away my Baby

get into politics to control this place
being in power got me feelin Hyper yeah~
so back to the life before and be dirt poor no way pa lease
but then you came and taught the meaning of love
so now is now and before is before
you became my savoir, no more regret

I didn’t feel it was right
to be gentle and kind
but as time passed by you taught me to see the light
I don’t know how long it’s been
since I was stuck in the dark
but now that you are here, love
Oh! you are my savoir


you could be my savoir save me from the dark 
and now I can die in peace because of love

(c+p)
living in this place a student scraping by
created a theory that I wanted to try
to prove my own theory, killed an old lady
I went delusional feeling so guilty

for love ? hmm I don’t know  
but for a love I confessed and paid my crime
Just you know always I love you
it may be simple but it might save your life
 
(sailor)
(do you think loves worth it?) 
enough for me to leave the sea why
(is it really worth it?) 
I rather fall from grace, than be alone

all criminals fail in crime  
cause they keep leaving a trail 
I want to prove I was right so I commited a crime
tho i committed a crime
because of you I am fine
guilt no longer kills me Oh! you are my savoir 

you became my savoir saved me from the guilt
though I am in jail I feel free because of you

Fusako


               For a very long time, in Asia, women were not viewed as important because they lack the physical strength that mean have. People usually say that men were more desirable because they can handle heavy labor jobs which provide food and shelter for the family, while women are to stay home to cook, clean, bear children and take care of the family. As a result of that, women are view as incapable and vulnerable who are dominated by males. In The Sailor who Fell from Grace with the Sea we are introduced Fusako a widow who is the owner of Rex, Ltd. “one of the oldest and best-known luxuray shops in Yokohoma’s swank Motomachi district” (24). Unlike Yoriko Kasuga, the “gullable beauty” (33) or the “chinese whore” (19) who need a male presence, Fusako is an intelligent, decisive and strong business woman who has no need for a male presence. For five years after her husband passed away Fusako managed “business by herself” (24), she is able to place bids on shipments before other buyers; “her policy is to emphisize quality labels while offering a wide price range in every item”. She is also has precise decisions for example when Yoriko Kasuga asks her to pick out gifts “for about twenty men” (26); Fusako realized that the gifts were supposed to be bought in the summer so instead of picking sweaters which would be in store near fall she picked out “Caldin ties and some polo shirts and a few Jiff pens” (33-34). Not only did Fusako manage the business on her own after her, husband died, she also had to raise her 13 years-old son Noboru, who was 8 years-old at the time. In conclusion, I find that because Fusako was not like the stereotypical hopeless female who is born to serve in male dominate society she is a representation of modern women who are independent.

It is "obscene for human beings to live only for themselves"

While surfing through blogs; I came across Rohit's blog ( http://missedink.blogspot.com/ ), in which he blogged about Mishima's dedication to the life of a samurai.  What I found interesting about it was the youtube link, of Mishima’s last speech, that he posted along with the blog.
               In the speech, he talks about “dying for a ‘great cause’” (Mishima 1:32) and how it is now something of the past. He states that because of the “democratic political system” (Mishima 1:37) there is no need for a “great cause” (Mishima 1:35). This “great cause” (Mishima 1:25) that he speaks of comes from the “need to die for something” (Mishima 1:20) when they get “bored of living for themselves” (Mishima 1:13). I found this interesting because it relates to a discussion that was brought up in class about why Noboru disliked Ryuji. One of the points that were brought up was that, Noboru was unhappy of the fact that Ryuji was going to give up the life of a sailor so that he could live with Fusako.  As Mishima’s values are expressed, I would assume that Noboru feels that Ryuji is doing this out of his own selfishness; since he is neglecting his job that is very dependant on, a sailor plays a very important role in Japan (Japan is by the ocean meaning a lot supplies can be deported and imported using ships). Therefore, as Noboru does not intend to let Ryuji dishonor the “great cause” he kills Ryuji so that he would die an honorable death.

               I’m not sure if that made sense but basically I wanted to say that since Mishima believes in death for a “great cause”, as the author of sailor his values are put in the storyline and since the ending is ambiguous; I think that Noboru kills Ryuji before he can “live for himself” so that he can die for a “great cause”
