Blacksmiths in the 60's and Instrumental Music

By now, you guys are probably thinking my favourite colour is blue or something.
Really, it's actually black, but blue is a soothing colour to the eyes, no? Artist: kkzt
Yes!! I've finally gotten this music box here to work. This is idea for those lonely readers who read in utter silence and need something to cheer them up in the back (LIKE ME)!
So here's a nice little tune from a small band I found online called Oyu (お湯). The name means hot water.

The song is called "me and you" and it sounds like an instrumental version of the band apart.  The song link leads to the video version that not all people can view unfortunately(blame nico nico douga :P).

I will probably feature more music from this band..? Mainly because I like the way they sound: a real nice mellow feeling that I like (like the band apart~~).
Futhermore, I'ma link the bands with available last.fm pages because it'll give you a good feel of who they are and most importantly: who they sound like :).
I'll probably put up some other songs that are stuck in my head later on.

Today I will stick in the bits that i didn't feel like putting in with yesterday's post! Yay!
I actually don't have much that I missed out actually.. I would usually put a day description here, but there isn't a lot of describe since I woke up at 2:13PM.. Really :p~. 
I started watching The Sacred Blacksmith. I think the animation is ok, not that great though, story telling was alright, plot and music is pretty average. I started it because Manglobe produced it and I really like a lot of their stuff (Samurai Champloo, Sengoku BASARA, Ergo Proxy, Michiko to Hatchin, even Sarai-ya no Gorou which is a 2010 anime). I'm only in ep 1 right now so I can't say much yet, but it gained a lot of popularity and it's already a novel and manga so yeah. Btw the anime was released in 2009.. 
Here's a pic:
Here we have a female night in some out of world time period which according to wiki is 44 years ago, so.. what, 1966? Somewhere around the times of when Martin Luther made a big speech, The Beatles big music time was also around here, first human landing on moon, Kennedy was assassinated, China was brought forth a new rule that made everyone sad, some crazy shit happenin' in UK, more shit happening in Vietnam , and meanwhile, this girl is in a sort of late-medieval setting with funky looking armor, fighting monsters with a guy with a FREAKIN' UM.. RAT TAIL? (+lolis)
I don't know how knights tie in with katanas, so let's just think of this as complete fiction, since it is.
Here's the synopsis taken from wiki:
If you don't wanna read it, I'll summarize under.

44 years ago, a great war known as the Valbanill War raged the land. One of the war's most dangerous weapons was the Demon Contract, where humans sacrifice their bodies to become powerful demons. Realizing the damages the contracts have caused the land, the surviving nations made peace and banned the use of the Demon contracts.
Cecily Cambell is a 3rd generation Knight from Housman, one of the cities of the Independent Trade Cities, a democratic federation of cities. As her grandfather was one of the founders of the Independent Trade Cities, she is proud of her heritage and wishes to protect her city as a knight, like her father and grandfather before her. One day, she fights a mad veteran of the war causing trouble in the market, and, inexperienced and overmatched, faces defeat. But she is saved by a mysterious blacksmith named Luke Ainsworth. Cecily is impressed by Luke's katana, a weapon she has never seen before, and asks him to make one for her. Her involvement with Luke will bring her to an adventure she never expected.

Basically after this war, people get these contracts where they become powerful demons but a lot of places have realized that it causes some major shit so they've banned it. Then comes in this female knight named Cecily Cambell and her whole family runs this knight shit so she has to continue it. But she sucks at fighting and she's always saved by this white guy with blue eyes HOLDING A KATANA (so he's an American tourist who just came back from Japan lol~) and she asks him to make one for her (greedy bitch) since he's a blacksmith and she's never seen one of them katanas before.Then they go on adventures that I haven't seen from ep 1 yet.
The OP's name is "Justice of Light".. I'm very bothered by the title.
Anyone tired of letters? Here's a picture of something cute I got the other day ROFL.
I really like these tabby things but I don't know when to use them... Moreover, these ones are cute and and you're supposed to write on them. How much harder could this get?? 
Do you guys come into the situation when you look at something special and don't want to use it?! I'd like to use them but I actually don't know when and where because I usually don't use these anyways lol. Btw my friend got them for me otherwise I wouldn't know how to get them either.

I just realized that I've been talking about anime all this time that I don't need to continue. I'm going to end this post with ANOTHER SONG by Oyu (お湯) and a cute picture.

This song is called "Ld". And here are my tag artists with Oyu: The Band Apart, toe, ACIDMAN, UNCHAIN, He, and mostly whatever ties in with The Band Apart. All cool bands that I recommend for this kinda mellow stuff! 
Tada! Cute picture :) of cats of all seasons!
For the non-chinese readers here's clockwise from top left:
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. Artist: aobe
See you tomorrow everyone!
