heyya.

yaa~

its the last sunday of 2007 ,today..kinda feels funny.

well anyway,

ive been listening to ALICE NINE this past few days..ye,A VISUAL KEI BAND..well ive listened to them before,but kinda stopped halfway..but somehow i "bumped" into them when i was looking at PATIPATI web.from what ive seen,it seems that they'd toned down thier image,na~i dont know if its really true thou.anyway,i browse for their latest video on youtube and found [white prayer] pv.

hmm quite nice lah the song..the vocalist of it really has a unique voice..well i dont know if other vk bands sounds like him,but i've never heard of that kinda voice before..well my friend aiLun said his voice not nice..but i think its quite ok.

as i said before,i never really liked vk.but some of them quite nice ley.

another vk band ive listened to was MOI DIX MOIS.

i came across them at some guy's myspace..cant remember the title..but i remember since ive heard the song,i cant seemed to get it off my mind..very haunting id say.

and guess what,ive just found out it was MANA!yes,the queen of goth lollita!no wonder na..(i thought he died..hehe^_^" gomen!causehe's from malice mizer na..one of them died,ne?)

well,i hope my interest with these two bands would last longer than bfore.

hehe,who knows i mite forget them again..

 

 

iya~!!!

omg this is soo great!!

not only LUNA SEA IS REUNITING,so is X-JAPAN!

OMG!!

2 of my alltime favvie bands!!!

cant wait man!!

WOOOHOO~!

ahh.

im in the mood to talk about my love interest.

MUSIQ.

what were you thinking?

 

well,looking at my recent archive..

all those posts..are just...crap.

and i realised its been a long time since i talk about MUSIQ.

well..

ive found new artistes to love and appreciate their music.

like 大塚愛。

i used to hate her..

for she used to have a very squeky annoying voice.

but seeing her now,sh's changed,alot.and learned to control her voice more.

and i love her for that.

2 of my favvie songs from her,:

 

such a sweet sounding song.

makes me wanna fall in love..with who?

heh.sssshh.

「今すぐ会いたい　すぐ会いたい。。」

 

 

i wanna fall in love just by listening to this song.

its just soo sweet and lovely and really calms my body&soul.

and this is taken from the movie,　「ただ、君を愛してる」tada,kimi wo aishiteru.

gotta be the sweetest,most innocent love story ever.

very tragic too,unfortunately.

 

definitely am falling in love with her songs now.

well,continue next tyme then

MUSIQ talks with tomato..

ciao.

hero minna!

i just watched GACKT's newest single pv,RETURNER~yami no shuuen.

man,this is like one of the best pvs GACKT has made!
its just WOW!
very japanese,id say.
well,he must be in the jappie ancient era mood recently..
he's currently playing one of japan's powerful shogun in one of its medieval periods,Uesugi Kenshin,in a medieval drama,FURIN KAZAN.
thats explains everything right?
the samurai and all..id say,very cool.
must be expensive thou..but its soo cool.
got samurais,fighting scenes summore..shiok rite?

well,im quite happy he's like showing off his own culture.
i mean,before this,he's been all european medieval stuff..soo when i saw this,its like saying to me,"ohh..he's gone back to his roots."..heh.

well,gackt,from the beginning,is a weird person.
he claimed to be a vampire born in the 1500s but all the childhood stories he told happened in Okinawa.
maybe thats just gimmick..i wonder if he still hold on to that claim.
but,the good thing about him is that,even if he was really into all these medieval europe thingy,one thing for sure,all his songs lyrics are in japanese only.he even said that he really love the language and you know,wanna be proud of it lah.

and one unique thing about him is his voice.
i kinda like his voice,very deep and manly,hehe.
and its just soo unique,not the typical singer voice id say.
thats why,i think,he stands out.
and his songs are very high quality too.
very good.

hmm..
i wanna watch the drama at NHK..but there's no subs.
i dont wanna be stupid and wathc it just for the sake of watching GACKT.
not unless if its KIMURA TAKUYA..hehe=]

hmm..
since im in a mood to talk about music,ill talk about it then!
nyaha..what am i babbling.
nyeh.

ok..soo im gonna talk about some artistes that i reckon,are worth talking about.
so here goes..

1.SID

HAHA.my favourite band of all~!!
i actually found out about them from PATIPATI mag..and that was in late 2005.the same time i found out YUI.anyway,i was attracted by their picture in that mag and decided to check them out..well the reason?cause i heard nowadays,there's alot of visual kei bands where they may look nice and all,but its different with the voices.so i wann found out whether this band is the same..but it really prove me wrong!

they're like the best band ive ever heard of.and if im not wrong the 1st song i heard was ALIBI.omg i ws blown away..their music really are differnt from those mainstream visual kei's.the vocalist,MAO,has a very unique voice.ive never heard anyone with that kinda voice.from that on,i knew it,im gonna be their fan!and from them too,i fell in love with drums.the first time i heard the song [RINGO AME],when i herd yuuya played the drums,i was soo amazed and focus to the drums the whole way...i was blown away.seriously,i was.and i can say,YUUYA(drummer) is one great drummer.and a wacko too..haha..he always appeared drunk or wacky during interviews..never was serious.well,he's the youngest among all.

and from that was early jan of 06,the time i fell in love with SID!
from that one,ive been really supporting them.i actually forked up alot of money for their albums..i bought HOSHI NO MIYAKO(2nd album) for $64 from internet and PLAY(3rd album) for $57 frm the internet too..but i told myslef not to waste money on singles..and now im waiting for the 4th album!
im actually quite lucky 2 found out about them early..well i missed the 1st album,but thats okay..and now,they're no longer VISUAL KEI!

I AM SOO HATING VISUAL KEI.well,theyre not my taste.i mean,they look nice,but everyone just looks the same to each other.weird man.i cannot tell which one's belong to which band.err.

Anyway,im happy that they're not that anymore.their music doesnt suit visual kei.
their music,is [JAZZYpopROCK].yeah.

LOVE SID till the end,yah!
AND SHINJI LOVE TOO.YAH!!

2.YUI.

another gift from heaven to the music industry.
haha.
this shy girl has really great talent inside her.
she's 20 this yr,she writes her own songs,she plays the guitar,and her voice is really really nice.
i found out about her 2 yrs ago,and,i fell in love right away.
she's really a good example of a good role model.
and the best thing about her..she dont have to doll up just to be popular.she dresses like any other normal jap girl but that doesnt stop her from being a superstar.she doesnt need tons of make up and skimpy clothes..one even can mistake her for a random girl from a glance..but wait till you hear her songs..she'll blown you away.
i can say..a singer like her,is rare now in japan.
this chick is what you can say,a shy rocker.haha.
her music is [poprock].sometiems its more on pop,sometimes its more on rock.but on both times,it sounded soo good you wont care.soo far,there's not a single song form her that i hate.she's good man.
damn good.

love yui!

3.YUNA ITO

well this woman has such clear,nice voice,which is quite rare for japanese singers.well,she is after all,a jap-korean brought up in hawaii.which means,fluent in english..haha
thats expalin the clear pronounciation.well anyway..thats why i like her..her voice is really good to the ears..cannnot pain one if listen..her voice really soothing..and she's quite beautiful too..totally not a bitchy face.haha
soo far,all the songs from her are quite nice..i like!
hmm..i think,she's one of my fave female singers now.nyehaha.

4.AYAKA.

this girl really have power voice for a true blood japanese.
her voice is soo clear!and she's japanese!who's english is not that good!
haha..im not insulting.its true.
ok whatever.

but i tell you,this girl has a really big talent.she's only 19 you know.
and i like her image.heh
i like her hair.taht hairstyle where you tie it up in the middle of ur head..and how she uses her clothes layered ly..it can comes up to messy and berselerak..but to me,its cute.and this fashion is not those KAWAII type..but more like ..i dunno..nice and cute.haha

anyway,about her..she just debuted last year and has already gained alot of fans..but well..i dunno if this fire will be going one till the rest of the years to come..but i have a feeling it will.
cause,her voice is not like those squeky-not ear friendly voices found i many female japanese singers...
haha.
but yah..
i love her voice.
and she actually sings better in live then on records!
seriously,her live performance are better.
lets just see..if she really is the next UTADA HIKARU.

Well i guess thats all for now.
ill post sommore if there's any.
ja~!

im bored.

ive been online since 11am and i dunno if i shud shut it down or not..cause there's nothing to do at home.

recently(well since yesterday) ive been trying to play the keyboard.well not professionally(cey..)no class or anything..but by youtube..yeah that place.you can just find anything there huh?haha

anyway,there's clips there which teaches us how to play popular songs with keyboard/piano.

soo far,ive learned how to play "boston" intro by augustana..and also the black parade intro by MCR.

well,its not that hard..but i dont think im gonna make it my hobby..not that  dont wanna play any instrument..im planing to learn to play the acoustic guitar by this year..but just play it lah..no specific dreams or anything..i actually wanted sooo much to play the drums..but i found out the sets are soo damn expensive..terbantot hasrat..haha

and guess what?

tamakaypoh told me he plays the drums!!!!

he said he inhereted the talent from his old man..he used to be in a band when he was younger..whoa.cool huh.

but now he said he's learning bass gui.

wow..

guys are soo lucky..not that girls r not..its just that guys get more oppertunities to learn those stuff.

but i dont think ill be making any of these my serious hobby..id prefer to be blown away by music,yah.

i love appreciating music..appreciating the artistes who work hard to make it.yeah..thats better.

i promised myself,when im older and working..im gonna save up money and use it to travel to japan and go to concerts!!!

i just hope YUI,SID and others are still going on when im like 20+.hohoXD

and i promised myself too..to learn nihongo properly..i dunno when..but when i have enough money,im gonna enrol myself in a class.

yeah.

my dream is to...live in japan.haha

but seriously,i do.

till then,im gonna work hard to achieve that!

My Generation

I breathed in the wind that blew on the field from a small window and sighed

I became sick of expecting good things
and I became all lonely
but that doesn’t mean I gave up

When the school bell finishes ringing
Reality should move on faster

The feeling was a bit different than breaking a glass window.
We were free from the start

*chorus
It’s just that I can’t express my dream with words
The time I hurt others not mattering who, and cried the whole night….
I don’t expect poeple to undersand
I was controlled by the weakness of not being able to beliave in my own dreams.
Sixteen My dream

I don’t want to lose to the me when I was 16,
with my uniform thrown away.

Even when I knew people were pointing at me, I never turned around
I believed I could still keep going on.

The reason I couldn’t sacrifice was because if I lost my hope, I’ll go back to being lost in my path.

I don’t want to be bothered
I know that if I am ready and aware
I’ll always be free

***
My dream will never break apart
I started walking despite the unpatience for the next season
and took back the time that I was downcast

The generation that changed since I was able to strongly believe in my dreams.
Sixteen My dream

Rested against the cracked wall of the school
I swore I’ll show that I can make my dream come true

***
It was just that I couldn’t express my dreams with words
and I was controlled by the weakness of not being able to believe in them
Sixteen My dream

Understand

I was probably crying
downcast on the way back.
Although I was always close by
I couldn’t say a thing…

As I walked
I took the short cut by crossing the park.
I kind of knew already…

…the shadow stretched across the ground
Even I know, the shape of happiness.

“We’ll always be together”
That’s what you said…
“Even when there’s love, there’s always
sadness nearby, hiding”
You laughed as you talked.

If there really was such thing as a hero
I thought you might have a problem with it…

…the shadow stretched across the ground
Even I know, the shape of happiness.

We can’t always be together,
so you can’t live on by always accusing..
Because you repeat the same mistakes
over and over.

…the shadow stretched across the ground
Even I know, the shape of happiness.

Now I’ve started walking…
It’s going to be alright
