A Whisker Away (2020)
I had been thinking about a concept surrounding A Whisker Away and I have been absorbing too much hero academia (plus spider-man).
I think it would be really cool if the protagonist worked for the Mask Seller and helped gather masks. It looked like he had extras so they would be the "masks" of the living and the dead. Usually the Mask Seller swaps masks for people, but he can take away their "masks" too (playing a bit of god).
In exchange for keeping her ability to switch between bodies, she becomes a sort of grim reaper for him. While the Mask Seller makes contracts with people to switch masks, the protagonist takes both masks at the end of the contract. The contract states that after an extended period of time, they die and their masks belong to the Mask Seller.
She also keeps a half mask and is able to be half-cat. It helps with being able to collect masks. The protagonist has the power to collect any masks she wants. Helps with disguise and getting rid of her enemies.
Her biggest weakness is her crush and the elderly. She loves helping them and protecting them at all costs. Her grandparents were the ones who took care of her during her parents divorce and they died afterwards in an accident.
She often visits her crush's grandpa and drops off food she doesn't want to eat from her new stepmom. She enjoys spending time with him and helping him.
Her crush knows about her, but thinks she is too weird. At school she has no friends left and is often bullied, but smiles (sometimes creepily). He doesn't know she helps take care of his grandpa.
She often encounters many criminals where she has to take masks. She fights them off and accidentally keeps crime rates down. Her neighborhood is not safe and many strays have been disappearing too.
There is a group who wants the power of the reaper and the Mask Seller. The group has been taking in people and cats to try to get masks for themselves.
Usotsuki (Liar)
So, I’ve recently started listening to Japanese music, or as people call it; J-pop, and I cannot get the song out of my head.
Actually, I’ve always loved J-pop music, any kind of Asian music. They’re so addicting to listen to.
I’ve discovered a band called Yorushika, and they’re a rock-band duo that are very secretive, never shown their face in real life, or even in their music videos.
Well, anyhoo, enough about my rambling, let’s get on with the show, haha. I loved the song called “Usotsuki” which means “Liar”, by Yorushika. I have the song fully translated, so let’s go!
The rain and flower petals fall
I only imagined your blushing cheeks
I’m always drinking a bucket full of moonlight
Really, it tastes like the night
A weak, transparent taste
I don’t mind if you smile and say, “is that so?”, though
I’m waiting for you
After summer ends, the town is quiet
I finally got back into my room
Night came
And I’m admiring such a beautiful moon alone
Really, my tears were made of gems back then
I don’t mind if you smile and say, “is that so?”, though
I’ve forgotten your voice long ago
Both the memories and the love inside me have died
I’m heading towards that summer, when we walked the beach where the wind doesn’t blow
I want to hear you say goodbye
I can’t even say a word
As if I’m just falling into a slumber
And, like that, I’m waiting for you
I grew older by a year
Then, spring arrived to greet this empty room
I’m drinking love, by scooping it up with a bottomless ladle
Really, it’s bland, and I get thirstier the more I drink it
I don’t mind if you smile and say, “is that so?”, though
I’m waiting for the night
I want to hear your humming
I can’t even say a word
As if I’m just falling into a slumber
And, like that, I’m waiting for you
I don’t remember how your eyes looks like
I’m not drawing the shape of your mouth
I can’t even say a word
And I’m not waiting for you
I don’t recognize your nose
I’m not imagining your cheeks
Even “goodbye” remains unsaid
And, like that, you’re becoming the night
And there you have it! The whole song translated!
For those who don’t know what this is about, I can’t tell since it’s a spoiler, but I will say one thing: it’s related to the movie “A Whisker Away”. Really cute movie!
Thank you all for reading my blogs so far, it really means a lot! I love you all! ❤️

I had this idea at school
It's an A Whisker Away Sambucky au
Anyway, Bucky's the one with the mask and he's an old Maine coon, which I just decided because that's what my initial draft looked like.
Probably someone has done this but anyway
