💘💖~Happy Valentine’s Day 2024!~💖💘
🎶Watashitachi no sekai wa - mahou wo kakerarete,
Ai suru to kime kisae - namida ni fuujirareteru,
Boy futari de jumon wo sagashi ni ikou,
Kinjirare ta yume wo - kanaerareru kuni he...
(Our world is under a spell,
Even the excitement of our love is sealed in our tears,
Boy, let's go together to find that charm,
To the land of where forbidden dreams may come true...)
Dare ni mo naisho de - ashita machi awaseshiyou,
Itsuka kotori wo ume ta - yoake no mieru oka de...
Tsumetai asamoya - kimi to te wo tsunaidara,
Hikaru michi no fuuin ga tokeru yo!
Hateshinaku...~
(Alone, tomorrow, let's secretly meet,
Up on the hill where small birds are buried...
Someday, when I hold your hand in the cold morning mist,
And the seal of the shining road will be broken!
Forever...~)
Kirawa retakunaikara - kokoro wokakushiteta...
Warai kaketekuretane - hontoni ureshikatta,
Boy watashi ni yuuki woataetehoshii,
Kinoumadeno subete - zero nidekiru chikara...
(I didn't wish to get heartbroken, so I hid my feelings...
I was happy, for you gave me that smile,
Boy, give me courage,
To make everything that happened zero...)
Dare nimo naishode - sotto kuchiduke shiyou,
Itsuka yoma nakunatta - furui ehon no youni...
Asatsuyu ichimen - kaze gakira mekasetara,
Hikaru michi wa massuguni tsuduku yo!
Dokomademo~
(Let's kiss quietly in secret,
Like an old picture book we're unable to read...
When the wind blows in the morning dew,
The shining road will stretch on forever!
Always~)
Callin' you!
Kanashi i yoru ha kimi no namae wo tonae runo...
Callin' you!
Sore wa sekai no kusari wohodoku jumon nano...~
(Callin' you!
Calling out your name in a sad night...
Callin' you!
That will be the key to break the enchantment of the world...~)
Dare nimonaishode- ashita machiawase shiyou,
Itsukaminna tabidatsu - mirai no mie ru oka de,
Tsume tai asa moya kimi to aru kidashitara...
Hikaru michi wa massuguni tsuduku yo!
Dokomademo...~
(Alone, tomorrow, let's secretly meet,
On the hill where we can see the future of everyone's journeys,
Someday, when I walk with you in the cold morning mist...
The shining road will stretch on forever!
Always...~)🎶

It's that special time once again, to show your heart and spread the love to all you care for~💕💝💕🤗And this year, I would like to take opportunity to dedicate my annual Valentine to my newest OTP, Smiling Critter DogDay x my OC, DeerDelight~🐶☀️💘🦋🦌
I was thinking what songs would fit their ship, and one that stood out to me the most, was one I've listened to ever since I finished college, back in 2008 - 'Hikaru Michi' a.k.a 'The Shining Road', which is the second closing theme to the well-known anime, Sonic X~🎶I remember seeing a music video years ago with tender moments between Sonic and Amy Rose from the show, and that was when inspiration struck~💡💗✍️
I decided to draw DogDay and DeerDelight in the same emotional reunion with Sonic and Amy, where he promised he would never leave her ;w; But instead of a rose, I chose forget-me-nots for DogDay to give to DeerDelight. The reason, is the meaning behind them - a symbol of true love and devotion, declaring love to another and representing a promise that you will always remember them~💝
Forget-me-nots are also considered a symbol of fidelity (loyalty) and faithfulness~🫶🏻
And this is what is happening between the two adorable critters right now. With DogDay declaring his love to DeerDelight (something she had always secretly hoped and wished for~🌟🙏🏻) and vowing that he will never ever forget her, and will always be with her by her side, no matter what...~🥹To which DeerDelight emotionally yet happily accepts, as they seal their love with a tender kiss and embrace~🐶☀️💕🦋🦌
To give the wholesome moment between DogDay and DeerDelight more feeling, I decided to add the last three sentences of the last verse of the song, both in Japanese and English, along with adding details of the shadowing and falling tears, which I have to say I'm really proud of~👍🏻😊✨
‘Sigh...~’💕😌I am ever so pleased of how this precious piece turned out, just the way I imagined it to be and I really enjoyed working on it too~💓🥰
And a very💗💘💝~Happy Valentine’s Day 2024~💝💘💗to you too, my lovelies~! =^o^=🫂Hope you all like as well, have a lovely day and spread the love~!💞🫶🏻💕😍💕🫶🏻💞xoxo.
