• Log: 2022-05-28: I, Tabby: A Cat's Diary
• Cast: Ranka Lee, Kaworu Nagisa
• Where: Macross Frontier Colony
• Date: May 28, 2022
• Summary: A little something comes your way in the mail... or by hand.

A pink-wrapper with a crescent moon against the black of an Earthshine with a sleepy cat laying against it might arrive in your mail – actual regular mail in this day and age, instead of e-mail; or perhaps it was given out by hand depending on who you know. Open it up and it contains a small disk.
Inside is a promotional song by an amateur idol who hasn’t yet debuted named Ranka Lee. It is labeled…

Cat’s Diary
Arranged by: Elmo Kridanik (OOC: Yoko Kanno)
Composed by: I, Tabby (OOC: Yoko Kanno)
Lyrics by: Hiroshi Ichikura (Translation by: Ayu)
Sung by: Ranka Lee (OOC: Ranka Lee = Megumi Nakajima)

The melody has a metronomic quality, a dreamy rhythm that invokes a sweet and innocent feel, like a maiden daydreaming while looking out the window, yearning for her first love. The singer’s voice is sweet and clear, fully capturing the vibe of the melody in a way that affects the listener, drawing them into the feel if they’re in their adolescence, or capturing the nostalgia of youth.

       Wednesday (good morning~), Xuary the Xth, sunny
       The light smells water-blue

       In the cat's diary
       There's a record of how many times it took a nap
       In the swing's diary
       There's a record of today's acceleration and dreams taking off
       In the clock's diary
       There's a record of how many times its love has looked its way
       And so, in the diary of my lips
       There's a record of how many times I've called your name
       One, two, three, four, five, and six...

       Thursday (good morning~), Xuary the Xth, dreamy
       Will you and I get any closer?

       In space's diary
       There's a record of when a star meets another
       In the curtains's diary
       There's a record of rumors on the wind of someone kissing
       The rocket's diary would have
       A record of counting down on its fingers 'til the day it takes off
       And then, in the diary of my lips
       I'm dreaming of doing that countdown with you
       Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one...

       Tu tu tu tu tu tu tu...
       My diary is dreaming of kissing you...

       (Good morning~)

OOC Note: Cat’s Diary is a promotional song for Ranka Lee. If you’re a PC you can have one and just say it arrived your way! If you’re a PC that knows Ranka well or has had a positive interaction you can have as many of them as you want, though there’d be no pressure to spread it around or distribute it. This would not however spread too widely amongst NPCs. Any attempt to post the song online or promote it online mysteriously fails.
