Current Mood: happy

He’s 17 years old, a sergeant in a paramilitary organization, he’s the pilot of ARX-7 Arbalest, and he’s a bodyguard; meet Mithril’s Sgt. Sousuke Sagara.
The first season of Full Metal Panic (FMP) places us in a delicate world where peace is as fragile as an egg shell. With counties and terrorist organizations vying for power, the world is being protected by Mithril, an invisible military organization. Operating in shadow, Mithril is a counter terrorist group that posses “Black Technology.”
What is Black Technology? Where does it come from? Who are the Whispered? And why does second year, Kaname Chidori from Jindai High School need Sgt Sagara to protect her? Find out in the exciting first season of Full Metal Panic.

Secret crushes, homework, and kidnappings are all in a days work for Souske Sagara. In the second season of Full Metal Panic!, the laughs are nonstop when we follow the daily hi-jinx of Souske, Kaname and all the gang.. Unaccustomed to normal civilian life, the grenades start flying as Souske uses extreme methods to tackle everyday situations. High school life was never like this! A group of thugs, a rival ruby team, and yes- the mafia, stack the odds against our hero. But wait, what’s this? He’s furry, has big ears, and a green hat, it’s Bonta Kun! And it’s an Arm Slave suit?! The laughs are nonstop as you’ll soon find out in the second season of Full Metal Panic!’s Fumoffu.

Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid is a dark counter part in the series arc. Unlike its previous successors, Kaname is left to fend on her own. Sgt Sousuke Sagara gets reassigned and a secret agent named, Wraith takes over. Who is this man? Why doesn’t he help and what are his true motives?
With Inner demons affecting his confidence, Sousuke finds himself in unfamiliar territory. Wandering about aimlessly, he searches for answers while a battle rages on. To make matters worst, a ghost from the past appears and the terrorist organization Amalgam makes a bold move to disrupt the peace in the region.

For many of us, we first got introduced to Mikuni Shimokawa (Shimokawa Mikuni) after listening to the opening music of Full Metal Panic!. Born on March 19, 1980, Mikuni was a former member of the jpop girl group, Checkicco. With songs like, "Tomorrow" and "Sore Ga Ai Deshou" this singer/ songwriter helped launched the series into anime fame. In her spare time she enjoys, karaoke, keeping fit, and sending emails. Mikuni's voice can also be heard in other animes such as; Kino's Journey, Kino's Travels, Saiyuki, and Grenadier to name a few. She was also casted as the voice of Takami Amemiya in episode 6 of FMP Fumoffo.

二人で逃げ場所探して
走った天気雨の中
たとえば何かを失うとしても
守って行かなきゃ
一つだけは
この世界に生まれたその意味を
君と見つけに行こう
痛みさえも抱えながら
新しい景色
迎えに行こう
夕日にかざした指先
オレンジ映したプリズム
自分の全てを許せる暗いに
優しくなりたい
君のために
この世界に溢れる光だけ
両手の中集めて
暗闇さえも照らし出すよ
長く続く道迷わないように
この世界に生まれたその意味を
君と見つけに行こう
痛みさえも抱えながら
新しい景色
もっと遠くまで
迎えに行こう

Together, searching for shelter,
We ran in the rain
Even if I lose something,
There's just one thing
That I have to protect
I'll go search with you
For the meaning of my birth in this world
Even while wounded,
Let's go to meet
The new scenery
I shaded myself from the setting sun
The prism of my fingertips reflected orange
For your sake,
I want to become so kind
That almost everything else about me could be forgiven
The light that overflows this world
Gathers in my hands
Illuminating the darkness
So I won't lose sight of the long road
I'll go search with you
For the meaning of my birth in this world
Even while wounded,
Let's go
Even further on
To meet the new scenery

それが、愛でしょう[Sore ga, Ai Deshou] (I Guess That's Love)
下川みくに[Shimokawa Mikuni]
例えばね 涙がこぼれる日には
その背中を ひとりじめしたいけど
優しさは時々 残酷だから
求める程 こたえを見失う
雨上がりの街 虹が見えるなら
今 歩きだそう 何かが始まる
君がいるから 明日があるから
一人きりじゃ生きてゆけないから
こんなに近くに感じる それが愛でしょう
涙の数の痛みを 君は知ってるから
透き通るその目の中に 確かな意味を探して
笑顔見つけたい
何も言わないでも こんな気持ちが
君の胸に伝わればいいのに
少しずつ街は色を変えるけど
ほら、思い出がまたひとつ増えた
君の言葉のひとつひとつを
今は抱きしめられるから きっと
二人で重ね合っていく それが愛でしょう
誰も知らない 明日が待っているとしても
大丈夫 もう泣かないで
君と手をつないで
歩いてくずっと
ふとした瞬間 つのる気持ちじゃなく
少しずつ 育てていくものだね
愛する気持ちは
君がいるから 明日があるから
一人きりじゃ生きてゆけないから
こんなに近くに感じる それが愛でしょう
涙の数の痛みを 君は知ってるから
透き通るその目の中に 確かな意味を探して
笑顔見つけたい

Even if there are days when the tears roll down my cheeks
I want to have your back all for myself, but
because kindness is also cruel sometimes
I lose sight of the answer the more I search for it
If you can see the rainbow in the town after the rain
let's start walking now, something is about to begin
Because I have you, because I have tomorrow
because I can't live on all alone
I feel you so close by me, I guess that's love
Because you know how much pain tears can bring
I want to find a smile in your transparent eyes
as I search for a definite meaning in them
Although it'd be good if these feelings found their way into your heart without me needing to speak a word,
The colour of the town changes little by little but
see, our memories have again increased by one
Because now I can embrace every word that you said
I'm sure that we'll come closer to each other
I guess that's love
Even if a tomorrow that nobody knows is waiting for us
it's all right, don't cry anymore
we'll join hands
and keep walking on forever
It isn't something that builds up in an instant
but a feeling that grows a little at a time,
the feeling called love
Because I have you, because I have tomorrow
because I can't live on all alone
I feel you so close by me, I guess that's love
Because you know how much pain tears can bring
I want to find a smile in your transparent eyes
as I search for a definite meaning in them

君に吹く風 [Kimi ni Fuku Kaze] (the wind that blows to you)
走り出す瞬間 坂道で風になる
焼きつけた陽射しが 胸の奥熱くした
Ah- 君に近づいて 行くたび早くなる
時を駈ける 始まりの予感させる眼差しが好き
小さな愛でいい いつも側で あたり前の時間
今日出来ることは こんな風に 何気ないことで
君が振り向くように短く切った髪がゆれて
また一つ増える笑い声 空に響いていく
優しさに甘えて 少しだけ傷ついた
移りゆく季節に また二人結ばれる
Ah- こんな瞬間を シアワセと呼べたら
見つめあってこの街で 出会えた奇跡を感じてる
遠回りして帰ろう 君ともう少し歩きたい
何もない日こそ 側にいて 風になれたら
雲の切れ間に届きそうだね 同じ空を見上げ
その瞳に映した明日も こうして過ごしたい
Ah- 今日も手のひらに のるようなヨロコビが
あふれるから“ありがとう”
優しくなりたい 君のため
小さな愛でいい いつも側で あたり前の時間
今日出来ることは こんな風に 何気ないことで
君が振り向くように短く切った髪がゆれて
また一つ増える笑い声 空に響いていく
