matsujules replied to your post “how to identify a vanihopu song: 1. must be upbeat, ooey-gooey cheesy...”
Not sure if someone already pitched this, but always thought that the XIII-2 theme (Yakusoku no Basho / New World) fit vanihopu perfectly :3 (...as well as most of the cast but VANIHOPU FEELS <3) The lyrics are just so on point asd;lfad
Going to reply here since it's more relevant.
No, you're the first :D (at least in relation to this fanmix). I agree with you wholeheartedly; they just slipped my mind, so thanks! The problem now is deciding between the two xD. I love New World for numerous reasons but I wonder if Yakusoku no Basho (aka The Promised Place) is more fitting?
New World (x)
Oh but now, I have realized
The reason why I live in this world,
Even you have left me here alone,
I found the way where I can get hope for the future
Having a dream, basking in the sun everyday
I'm starting to thank that I'm still here,
Though the pain of loss still hurts me
Making me smile, making me laugh many times
Everything is gentle to me, because you are making it so
Then now I have realized the reason why I live in this world
It's not to lose what I truly need
I will make, sure to build the beautiful days together
Yakusoku no Basho (x, x^)
If you were here right now,
I wonder what I would be trying to convey to you.
I probably would remain speechless,
rest my cheek on your chest, and let my tears flow.
Oh love, please take me with you
to the promised place.
I will go to your place; this oath is eternal.
If I could call forth love
and bring it into the embrace of my arms,
then, with a smile, I will be able to overcome any pain.
I will not lose this light again.
I will definitely reach your place.
Time heals all.
Rather than wait out that prolonged process,
I will start walking now.
In the place towards which the wind is guiding me,
tomorrow is definitely waiting for me.
^I took the literal translation since I kinda like it more than that other one. Same with Kimi ga Iru Kara, where one translator took liberties and added/changed things... I will admit the looser translations sound/read better but...here's a literal translation of Kimi ga Iru Kara is you're interested /shutting up now

The song is “Goodbye Summer” by f(x) feat D.O of EXO. It’s in a mix of Korean and English, and the lyrics in both languages are included in this video ^^
--
!!! Yes, I can feel the VaniHopu :D
Actually, this song reminds me of something I've been pondering lately: one reason why I love VH is because I can see them never getting together, feelings never being broached or resolved, etc.... It's poignant but plausible and "Goodbye Summer" captures this in a wistful way ;w; without being overly angsty
(Here are the lyrics in full, if anyone wants to read.)
when do you think the fanmix is going to be finished?
Hello! The fanmix doesn’t have a fixed time frame (or due date), which I realise doesn’t sound very hopeful ^^;;
It’s a project I pick up (again) whenever I hear something that fits or receive suggestions because let’s be honest, searching for songs I don’t normally listen to is usually hit and miss. That’s one reason why I’m hoping for more input from you guys.
Anyway, thank you for prompting me! Definitely needed it haha, especially since I wasn’t sure if anyone was really interested in this. I’m going through the song suggestions right now, so I’ll try to draft a post for later.
desirableheaven replied to your post “hope/vanille headcanon ii”
I'm crying at your headcanons, Lan. I'd like to think that Fang has her arm wrapped around Vanille's shoulder while Hope holds Vanille's hand while falling asleep. HALP. OT3 coming through.
THANK YOU RIAAA ;A; Your comments always give me joy haha.
XD Well, I hope Fang doesn't wake up with a sore arm! Were the others IC or believable? I don't think about them as much as Hope, Vanille and Fang.

did you change the date for vanihopu eater? I thought it was the 19th?
Hello, anon!
Nope. VaniHopu Easter has always been scheduled for April 27, i.e. in one week’s time :D Long story short, we didn’t want it to happen on such short notice or coincide with other fandom events.
P.S. We’ll usually post a notice if we decide to change any details.
hey its me, the anon that asked about the ff13 week. I decided that I'll try to run one. I made a separate account and made a text post asking if anyone would participate. Thank you so much for your input and encouragement on the matter! (: I really hope people are willing to contribute, otherwise i don't think ill do it since it seems like it'd take so much time and dedication
Hello!! I’m glad to hear you decided to give it a go :D
I saw some people did respond to the anon ask; why not think about approaching them if you haven’t yet? It will require a lot of work, especially a week long event, but that’s what co-admins are for (to share the load) ^^
There are many people who still create fanworks for FFXIII - so I think it’s all a matter of effective promotion and in a way, getting their attention. Best of luck and I look forward to participating if goes ahead (Y)
