Ini lagu opening anime Ao no Exorcist (ntah kenapa gua kecanduan nonton/baca AoEx). Nih liriknya.

Japan:
Sei wo uke sorezore ga jinsei wo ouka
Nou no "black box" wo shiru sore wa kou ka
Your limit line wo subete ryouga
Saa ikou ka fumidasu sore wa kyou da

Yappa hibi wa ika sen kou
Sotsunaku konashitecha, no, no
Stop nagare wo mikiwamema
Mazu mono to mo sezu ikou ze here we go

Todo kanu mono ya kagiri aru mono ni
Atsu ku naru mune wo osaetsukeru no wa
Rikai mo sezu osaetsukeyou to shitekita
Kirai de yurusenakatta ano otonatachi to onaji janka yo

Doushitatte kanawanai esoragoto darou ga
Mune moyasuhi wa dare ni mo keseya shinai
Sora kara furu kuroi ame ga kuno mi
Nurashi furitomanaku tomo
Mada kesasenashinai kono mune no hi sore ga pride

Yohou toori ni furi dashita ame　
Yosou ijou ni nakama wa atsumatta
Otagai no hibi ya shourai no hanashi de　
Atsuku natte naguri ai ni natta

Jyuugo no koro mo fuan kara nogareru you ni
Onaji youna koto de naguri atta koto
Omoi dashite omae ga warai dasu kara　
Kawatte nai natte ore mo fuki dashitanda

Douyatte ijihate furunbate ikite nakuja
Jikan no mayaresae mo kowakunaru
Hontou ni naguru beki ai te wa sonna jibun darou
Tada ima omaketa kunai jibun ni umakenai "pride"

Stop nagare wo mikiwamema
Mazu mono to mo sezu ikou ze here we go
Stop nagare wo mikiwamema
Mazu mono to mo sezu ikou ze here we go

Doushitatte yappa hitori no yoru wa
Jibun no koto sae mo waranaku naru
Sonna ore to wakari aoutoshite kureru kimi ga iru nara　
Motto tsuyoku nareru

Mou dounattate ii kakkou aku tatte ii
Shi ni mono gurui de mirai wo kaete yaru
Doushitatte kaere nai unmei da to iwarete mo
Mada ore wa kawareru jibun de kaete miseru

Kore ga sou pride sorezore no basho de...

Mada mada kieru na kokoro no hi wo
Mada wasureta kunai mune wa zure saa wo
Mada mada kieru na kokoro no hi wo
Mada mada ikeruzo ikeruzo
Oh baby, my pride !

English:

Born into the world, each enjoying his own life,
Discovering the black box in his head... Is this bliss ?
The important thing is to surpass your limit line.
Shall we go ? Take your step, and outdo yourself today !

But what should we do with our days ?
Trying to live flawlessly is a big no, no.
Stop ! Observe thoroughly the flow of the world !
Ignore everything else, and here we go !

If I try to suppress my heart, which is burning hot about things that are unobtainable or constrained,
How am I different from those adults, whom I have come to despise and will never forgive
For their constant attempt to pin me down blindly without even understanding why ?

No matter what I do, it'll probably forever remain a pipe dream that will never come true
But the fire burning in my heart cannot be doused by anyone.
Even if the black rain falling from the sky drenches me completely and doesn't stop
I will never allow the fire in my heart to be extinguished. That is my "pride".

It started pouring, as predicted.
A lot more buddies gathered around than I had expected.
While talking about one another's days and futures
We became impassioned and started a fist fight.

Thinking back about how we were also fist-fighting the same way
Back when we were only 15, as a means to quell our anxiety and uneasiness
You laughed and said: "You haven't changed a bit... "
So I ended up bursting into laughter as well.

If we don't stubbornly stand our ground like this
Even the flow of time will become a scary thing.
The only true opponent whom I should hit is really my prideful self.
But still, I don't want to lose right now. I have "pride" not to lose to myself.

Stop ! Observe thoroughly the flow of the world !
Ignore everything else, and here we go !
Stop ! Observe thoroughly the flow of the world !
Ignore everything else, and here we go !

No matter what I do, when I'm alone at night
I become even unable to understand myself.
When you're with me, and we try to understand each other
Then I'll be able to become stronger.

I don't care how things turn out, and I don't care if I'll look uncool,
I will desperately try to change my future.
Even If I'm told that my destiny is immutable no matter what I do,
I myself can still change, and I will prove to you that I can change myself.

This is, that's right, "pride", each in its own place...

Don't perish yet, the fire in my heart.
I don't want to forget yet, the heat in my chest.
Don't perish yet, the fire in my heart.
I can still keep going, so here I go !

Dallas Mavericks

NBA season 2010-2011 udah selesai, dengan Dallas Mavericks sebagai juaranya. Kesel juga sih Heat kalah di The Finals, tapi gimana lagi, inilah kompetisi, ada yang menang, ada yang kalah. Sebagai penghargaan buat Mavs, gua buat post khusus tentang Dallas Mavericks, the NBA Champions 2010-2011.

The Dallas Mavericks (also known as the Mavs) are a professional basketball team based in Dallas, Texas, US. They are members of the Southwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the reigning NBA champions, having defeated the Miami Heat in the2011 NBA Finals under the leadership of NBA Finals MVP and long-time Dallas Maverick Dirk Nowitzki.

According to a 2011 Forbes Magazine report, they are the sixth most valuable basketball franchise in the United States, valued at approximately $438 million; the franchise is surpassed in value only by the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Chicago Bulls, the Boston Celtics, and the Houston Rockets.^[1]

Since their inaugural 1980-81 season, the Mavericks have won three division titles (1987, 2007, 2010), two conference championships (2006, 2011), and one NBA Championship (2011).

Home arenas

Mavericks began playing at theAmerican Airlines Center in 2001.

• Reunion Arena (1980–2001)
• Moody Coliseum (1984 game 5 first round)
• American Airlines Center (2001–present)

History

Dallas Mavericks Original Logo used from 1980 to 2001 (script logo used from 1991 to 2001). This logo was created by Texas professional graphic artist Patrick B. Stark

In 1979, businessman Don Carter and partner Norm Sonju requested the right to bring an NBA franchise to Dallas,Texas. The last professional basketball team in Dallas had been the Dallas Chaparrals of the American Basketball Association, which moved to San Antonio in 1973 to become the San Antonio Spurs.

At the 1980 NBA All-Star Game, league owners voted to admit the new team, with the team's name coming from the 1957–1962 TV western Maverick. The name was chosen by the fans with 4600 postcards received beatingWranglers and Express. James Garner, who played the namesake character, was a member of the ownership group. There w as some controversy at the time since the University of Texas at Arlington also uses the Mavericks nickname. They joined the Midwest Division of theWestern Conference, causing a divisional realignment with the Midwest and Central Divisions, and would stay there until the league went to six divisions for the2004–05 season and the team moved to the Southwest Division. Dick Motta, who had guided the Washington Bullets to the NBA Championship in 1977–78, was hired as the team's first head coach. He had a well-earned reputation of being a stern disciplinarian, but was also a great teacher of the game.

Kiki Vandeweghe of UCLA was drafted by the Mavs with the 11th pick of the 1980 NBA Draft, but Vandeweghe refused to play for the expansion Mavericks and staged a holdout that lasted a month into the team's inaugural season. Vandeweghe was traded to the Denver Nuggets, along with a first-round pick in 1981, in exchange for two future first-round picks that eventually materialized into Rolando Blackman in 1981 and Sam Perkins in 1984.

For much of the 1980s, the Mavericks boasted a very good team in the highly competitive Western Conference. Led by Mark Aguirre, original draft pick Brad Davis, Rolando Blackman, Derek Harper, Sam Perkins and Detlef Schrempf, the Mavericks made the playoffs six of seven times from 1983 to 90, winning the Midwest Division in 1986–87 and reaching the Western Conference Finals in 1988. However, they never made it deeper in the playoffs, due to the dominance of the Los Angeles Lakers at the time.

The 1990s were known as the Mavs' "dark ages". They never reached the playoffs from 1991 through 2000, bottoming out with an 11-71 record in 1992–93 and a 13-69 mark in 1993–94. Much of their freefall was blamed for various off-court and on-court distractions, particularly Roy Tarpley's drug abuse, which eventually got him banned from the NBA, and the injuries and former coach Quinn Buckner's disciplinary approach. The mid-90s were considered the only positive period for the Mavs, led by The 3 J's: Jason Kidd, Jim Jackson and Jamal Mashburn. Kidd would become the most famous of the trio, winning Co-Rookie of the Year (with Grant Hill) in 1994–95 and eventually a perennial All-Star.

Internet entrepreneur Mark Cuban bought the Mavericks in January 2000.

The Mavericks returned to prominence in the 2000s, first led by a new "Big Three" of Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Finley and Steve Nash. With a new owner in Mark Cubanand head coach Don Nelson leading the crew, they returned to the playoffs in 2001, eventually returning to the Conference Finals in 2003. However the San Antonio Spurs would emerge as their main rivals, defeating them in the playoffs each time. The Big Three gradually disbanded with Nash returning to the Phoenix Suns in2004, and Finley picked up off waivers by the Spurs in 2005. Nowitzki emerged as the team's leader, and with Avery Johnson coaching the team, the Mavericks would make their first NBA Finals appearance in 2006; along the way exacting revenge against the Spurs and defeating Steve Nash and the Suns. However after leading 2-0 to the Miami Heat, they lost the Finals' next four games, though some point to biased refereeing and others argue it was the result of the "Curse of the Crease".^[2]

The Mavs' best regular season came in 2006–07, winning 67 games and earned the NBA's best record. Despite Nowitzki's MVP showing, the Mavericks were upset by their former coach Don Nelson and the 8th seeded Golden State Warriors in the 2007 NBA Playoffs. Kidd returned to the team in 2008, and with new coach Rick Carlisle leading the crew, the Mavericks maintained their winning form throughout the decade.

As the 2010s began, the Mavericks still had Nowitzki, Kidd and Jason Terry plus other pieces such as Shawn Marion, Tyson Chandler, J.J. Barea and Caron Butler. They returned to the NBA Finals after winning 57 games, winning a close 6-game 1st round series against the Portland Trail Blazers; dethroning the previous year's NBA Finals Champion—the Los Angeles Lakers—in the Western Conference Semifinals (four-game sweep); and defeating the Oklahoma City Thunder in 5 games in the Western Conference Finals on home court in Dallas to win their second Western Conference Championship. The Mavs returned to the NBA Finals for a second time, creating a rematch of the 2006 NBA Finals against the Miami Heat.^[3]

In 2011, the Mavericks defeated the Miami Heat 4 games to 2 to win the NBA Finals. The series victory secured the first NBA Championship for the franchise in its 31-year history.^[4] Dirk Nowitzki was named the NBA Finals MVP.

Currently, the Mavericks have won 50 or more regular season games in 11 consecutive seasons, dating back to 2001—a stark contrast (and almost diametrically opposed) to the 10-season streak of losing seasons from the 1990–91 to the 1999–2000 season.

Last, Congratuliations for Dallas Mavericks and its trooper, and for the man that make Dallas Mavericks be the Champions this year, Dirk Nowitzki.
