the bolded ones are confirmed (still can't believe I got ticket for Aiba-chan, what a miracle) the rest are the ones that I "wanna" go but don't have tickets yet
it's getting close to the end of school year..... which means it's another critical point for ppl like me.... to stay or not to stay? aiya, I'm not done with Japan yet.... my Ayu Tour, Aiba-chan stage... I've never been to a stage in Japan (it's not like I'll hit.... stage = small venue = impossible to hit ticket) and this year's Arashi Tour... and a-nation and Ayu's CDL.... ToT I know I can't and shouldn't stay any longer.... but I just don't know how to quit this 惡性循環
************************ my student asked me if I know who Arashi are... and I was thinking "阿姨我 姐姐我在你出生前就在聽Arashi了 你還乳臭未乾的時候我就開始追星了!!!" Arashi真的紅了 the first year I came to Japan, all my students liked Hey Say Jump! but now they only have one answer, "Arashi". When I joined the FC in 2008, my membership number is in the early 300,000 range, that means it took them 9 years to reach that number but in 2010 the FC has more than 600,000 members!!! they even changed the FC card to transparent/silver, it looks awesome, I want one so much ToT... their fans doubled in one and half year.... sigh....... 都不知道開心好還是部開心好 感覺有點像抹殺了他們前9年的努力一樣
Music Station is on now... 近藤叔叔今年才45歲啊 15歲出道.... 不知道Arashi會不會唱到45歲呢.... so hard to imagine lol
I'm in love with Chemistry again~ their new song is sooooooooooooooo good!!! I don't get why they are not selling..... they sing 100000x better than EXILE!!! 至於長相 只要稍微裝扮一下 誰都可以帥的啊 I wanna go to their live 但是他們的場超鄉下 而且東京場竟然是平日 ToT 為什麼沒有橫濱場........
****************************** 再說說Best Artist 確實 Ayu唱的不太好evo明顯跟不上 但是其實很多人都唱不好 GLAY, Remioromen, Kobukuro, Porno Graffitti, ELT 都唱的不好 真正唱的好的大概只有絢香跟平井堅 (其實Arashi也唱得很好 but I guess that's only because their songs are easy to sing)
this year's Best Artist is <3333333333333!!!!!! I'm not saying it because Arashi did the opening and Sho is the host (*rolls eyes*)....................
Most of the artists sang medley!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GLAY sang [HOWEVER], [Winter, again], [BEAUTIFUL DREAM] and [I am xxx...]!!!! T______T even tho I just watched those live a few days ago, those songs still make me teary ;______; GLAY果然還是好帥啊~ kakkoii na~
Maybe I should start with the fact that I DON'T LIKE THIS TITLE!!! because I love her old music, I love how she WAS
I made a few words about Amuro at "someone"'s blog, guess I should say it here too
haven't listen to the album yet so it's not fair for me to say anything about her music.... BUT, I do have a lot to say about other things!!! HOW CAN YOU RELESE AN ALBUM WITH ONLY ONE SINGLE RELEASED?????????? this is not how things work in Japan!!! We know you finally got your popularity back, and you don't need to do as much promotion as before, but ONE single without even ANY TV performance is ridiculous!!! And she's not attending of this year's end-of-year-shows!!! I know she wants to have more time with her private life but you've gotta give up something to get what you want, this is what every other artists in Japan did and there shouldn't be an exception (that's another reason why I DON'T LIKE GREEEEN!!!). And think about the fans, TV is pretty much the only way we can see our idols, this is the only, slim, tiny connection we have left....
and the thing is, if you've been like this for the past 10 years, then I have nothing to say. BUT, she releases single like crazy and was on TV promoting her singles like crazy!!!! And once she's popular again, she doesn't put any effort into her career... I just don't think it's fair to all the othe artists out there who has busy schedule, trying to promote their new songs....
Yes, she looks gorgeous in her new PV (totally remind me of Koda Kumi), yes Avex has a lot more budget on her than before but I rather see more of HER on TV instead of pretty PV
自私的說一句 我不希望這張專輯賣 說一句 我一輩子都沒想過的話 安室實在是太囂張了!!! 人紅不是這樣子的!!! I'm glad that my Arashi is still the same old baka Arashi (雖然很多人都說Arashi不在是他們以前愛的Arashi... but they still seem to be the same one to me). They are still hot, sexy, cute and stupid XDDD Stilling releasing singles like crazy, always on TV and being polite to their senpai
話說 那個Disneysea的演唱會 幕應人數竟然高達500萬, 5 million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf, ok, let me correct my words, it's the amount of "applications" 連我這種完全不做這種事的人 為了Arashi也寄了6張明信片 that's 18 house products 我們已經吃了快2個月的北海道シチュー 櫃子裡還有兩盒咖哩 X________X 當然 我怎麼可能會是那3500/5000000 的幸運兒呢
2009-11-21
Tomohisa Yamashita 1st Solo SHORT BUTSWEET in Yokohama Arena
just came back from YamaP's solo live~ kakkoii na~~~~~~~~ but there's no special guest today T____T 如果明後天松潤拖著斗真出現的話 我一定會氣死
山P果然是大帥哥一名 而且對fans超好 他不知道丟了多少東西下台 iiiina~~~ but he doesn't have the personality to attract ppl and he has no expression... 我家松本潤帥的來表情多 而且Arashi 5人的個性都很突出
當然 我這麼說是因為我喜歡小室時期的歌 我在無法理解為甚麼 這次只唱新歌 也許只有我是這樣 但是舊歌才是抓住fans的最佳武器啊 聽到Body Feels EXIT 我會想起 我第一張買的日本CD 聽到CAN YOU CELEBRATE? 我會想起當時有多喜歡安室 聽到I HAVE NEVER SEEN 我會想起聽到她復出的新聞時的感動.... Ayu的巡迴演唱會都一定會歷年每一張專期各抽幾首歌出來唱!!!! They are the memories that you share with your fans!!!! 你怎麼可以不唱....
MC... 我沒去看 但是據說 安室只講了兩句話.... I know you are a singer not a comedian but we are not asking you to "entertain us" (like Ayu) just say a little bit more!!!! 即使是工作人員幫你寫好的劇本 即使是肉麻到讓人起雞皮疙瘩的對白 我們也想聽啊 只要是出自你口 甚麼都好!!! (如果你去看過演唱會 你會知道MC有多麼重要 一個會講話的藝人 己是歌唱得不好 長相不出眾 也會讓你著迷 相對的 就算唱得在好 唱完後只說一句"謝謝"就下台的 是不會讓人留下深刻的印象的) 這點Ayu也是一百分 我沒看過娛樂性這麼高的MC 比Johnny's還厲害!!!! fans最想看得是偶像最真實的一面 MC是唯一可以發揮功效的時間啊!!!
因為2手CD實在太便宜了 所以重買了一些不太完美的 ie: 少了測標的 (自己都覺得自己欠自己都覺得自己欠揍 XDDD) 至於那些8CM單曲 則是yahoo auction標的 T_____T 好貴............... but I must say, those are all in great condition!!! so proud of those Japanese :p
A COMPLETE其實我還買了台版但是還在台灣 我覺得自己已經開始習慣一張碟買2, 3個版本了 it doesn't hurt anymore XDDD
geez, Ayu should book Tokyo Dome, not Johnny's!!!!! 我真的想都沒想過要去看Johnny's~ don't get me wrong, I still love my Arashi (tho I chose to watch Ayu instead of Arashi) 但是Johnny's countdown live人太多了 一個group才唱個5, 6首 雖然說確實是非常entertaining 但是算了 Dome太大了 Johnny's的話 我要看臉 XDD 回家download就夠了
沒人陪我去看演唱會啊 >____< Kakeru, why don't you visit Japan during X'mas??? 我的Amuro... 聖誕夜平井堅也有演唱會 而且還是在我家附近的橫濱Arena!!! 上完課趕去都夠時間(yes, I still have to work on that day =____=" 雖然我打算請假) 我來這麼久都還沒去過說 虧我當初還故意選在橫濱 :p (oh yeah, 這是我的追星之旅XDD)
************************ 看了GREEN的PV後更加覺得 Ayu該不會跟Shu-ya有一腿 (sorry, 太難聽了) 私情吧??? Shu-ya is like the preferred partner for her sexual fantasy while ZIN is her true love??
is out for a few days... grrr so 羞恥心 did outsold Arashi's "Step and Go", by 6000 copies.... 但是青山テルマ真的是險勝 只差了6000張~ 基本上今年也還是Johnny's的天下 top 10裡佔了一半 top 25裡也有11張
and EXILE is the best selling artist overall???? their Catchy Best is basically a cover of their own old SHUN ver songs, with new arrangement.... what a rip off, so that means those who bought the albums are all new fans? seriously, how many best albums are they planning to release?? they are releasing another one in July, and SCREAM is gonna have a TAKAHIRO ver too.... ewwww
anyway, Goto Maki's official website with avex is up, and out of all those avex labels, she's under rhythm zone, yes the same one with Koda Kumi :p 被欺負怎麼辦XDD (I think everyone have watched this by now :p yes, that's the same audition with GoMaki, MM's 3rd generation audition (avex did a good job eliminating those files on youtube!!))
但是avex真的是很厲害 後藤真希被包裝的比以前好看多了 she looks sexy (well, it is the sexy era now) but not slutty (yet) like koda kumi :p and did she use the same nail stylist as Ayu?? :p I actually look forward to her first single with avex!! time to kick those MM bi*ches' ass XDD and she's celebrating her 10th anniversary next year??? awwwww, time flies 但是這十年來 H!P 真的很多是非 Nacchi抄襲嫌疑 Aibon未成年吸煙 Tsuji奉子成婚 藤本美貴因為交男朋友被Tsunku開除? (Mikitty是繼Rika後最讓我討厭的H!P成員 再來就是小春久住) Johnny-san is right, "girls are hard to handle" oh well, not that I give a damn about H!P 現在的成員我連一個都說不出來 除了小春久住 (高橋愛還在嗎?)
I swear I started listening to their songs before I fall in love with Kamen Rider =P I actually like quite a lot of songs from their best album (but I also skip a lot too) 我比較好奇的是 為什麼這個group紅不起來呢? Avex應該算是力捧了吧 歌不錯 長相造型都很好啊 (論長相 我覺得比EXILE跟Koda Kumi還要好) 唱的也算不錯 而且舞跳的很好呢 (以前有幫Ayue跟Ami伴舞) 有男有女的組合出乎意料的有新鮮感~ 雖然女生明顯被男生的氣勢壓下去了 (I actually don't like the girls' voices.... not my cup of tea, I used to like Hanabi during the first listen...)
我覺得直得推薦的歌有 "Samurai heart -侍魂-" (yeah, I love this song), "Let it beat!", "Soul Edge Boy", "BLOOD on FIRE", "Climax Jump" 其實也不錯 但是那段"iijan, iijan, sugejan"好吵 and I can't believe that's their best selling single!!! 因為是電王主題曲? 但是其他歌也有tie-up啊 一下從本來的2,3萬銷售跳到了10萬 (----off topic bracket [假面騎士]好像已經變成腐女的代名詞了XDD 看了一些SP 07年舉行過一個類似跟演員們互動了活動 去的人全部都是女生!!!!! 這不是小孩看的節目嗎????? (KABUTO舉行過的活動去的都是小孩!!) 但是佐藤健原來真的會跳hip pop舞~ 中村優一原來以前是Johnny's Jr.!!! 嗯 退出是正確的 要不然還還不知道要多久才紅 我現在正在看 [Princess Princess D] XDD ----)
I wanna dl their concert so much after watching some clips online, totally love "Samurai heart" :p
EHHHHHH!!! please note that this photo is taken in Taipei!!!!! *o* this is bus 220 in Taipei city!!!
rumour has been going on for a while that Arashi is planning to have another Asia Tour this year, a REAL one this time :p they are planning to go to Shanghai, Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong?? I think if they are really having Asia Tour, Taiwan should be on the list for sure and Arashi did promised the fans that they will be back (and seems like Johnny's agency like Taiwan quite a lot)
A lot of big Japanese artists are going to (or already went) Taiwan this year~ 先是安室奈美惠, L'arc en ciel, 接下來是X Japan, 然後是Arashi跟Ayu!!!! 傳聞GLAY年底也會去台灣開唱 X____X Maybe it's not bad to live in Taiwan...
I think I'm gonna fail my exam, I think I said the same thing last time XD but I really mean it this time... 應該說是我運氣不好? 這次的essay part worth 30 marks!!! X___X why can't they give me more definitions or identify the composer+genre type of questions ToT 期待奇蹟的出現 ok... one more tmr... 明天那個比較不緊張 畢竟一直有做練習 history完全是臨時抱佛腳 =P
EHHHHHHHHHH, 安室的單曲賣的這麼好????? I know it's doing good but I never thought it's THAT good!!!! Awwww 我只能說風水輪流轉 想不到安室還可以賣贏Ayu ;____; but I'm so proud of both of them, 10幾年後的現在在還能賣的這麼好 (*claps*) but wth is 羞恥心??? they sold 290K in the first week?????? 那算什麼??? 搞笑藝人? (其中一個好像是小栗旬演的貧窮男裡的搞笑2人組其中一人) 自己去youtube看吧 說不定會成為今年的no. 1 single....
松本潤上[食わず嫌い]收視率精然有20.7%!!!! EHHHH 這是那個節目一般的收視率嗎?? 會不會太高了 還沒down所以不知道內容 我忙著down[假面騎士] XDDD (it's so much better than I thought XDDD and it's definitely not just for kids) Arashi會不會太紅了啊 有點失落感 :p 比起dome我更想看arena....
V6 fans真是EQ很高~ MC結束時 Ino跟Ken哭成一團 抱在一起 阪本說"乾脆你們兩個結婚算了" 全場大爆笑 lol 一開始Ino說 還沒有人知道(except for members, of course) 這件事 然後就開始哭了... 結婚是一見見不得人的事嗎?? 對Johnny's來說 是... Johnny's真的是很不好做... 確實 是有點突然 但是我決得這是最好的傳達方式 face to face 不管怎麼樣 我都希望可以知道真相 要是哪一天 聽到松本潤結婚宣言 我一定會祝福的 (只要不是跟H!P成員 而且他的緋聞對象都是超級大美女 不可能討厭的XD) 總比聽到他有私生子好吧??? lol 當年我聽到TERU原來結過婚 真的有點shock 但是那是因為當時我年紀小 :p 但是那對我真的是一點影響也沒有 我看了那麼久的人 是什麼人我很清楚 世界上離婚的人這麼多 難道離婚就是壞人嗎?
anywayz, it makes me wonder, 如果哪一天 Arashi成員結婚 fans會不會也這麼溫馨 還是說會丟雞蛋 XD (KT fans的話大概會殺去那女的的家裡)
fans are saying they are not ready to let go the hand... let go of what??? what difference does it make if he's married or single??? is he gonna quit his job? he's gonna gain weight?? start to look ugly??? 我好難懂 愛屋及烏 這麼簡單的事都做不到?? 到現在還是有很多SMAP fans不喜歡工藤靜香 well they suck!! 工藤靜香都不知道有多漂亮!!! 而且他們為對方都做改了很多 真的是從不會想到Johnny's可以用"好男人"來形容 I wanna see their reaction if 中居跟倖田來未真的結了婚
******************************** next, the rising star Erika
當然 他的態度不能說沒問題 but everyone have their bad day, right?? 我們也會有心情不好的日子 做明星就不行嗎?? 而且我覺得服裝 make up 也有影響~ 有沒有想過 如果是一個rock歌手 用同樣的態度 講話方式 你還會覺得他態度囂張嗎?? 女生大概會大叫 說什麼"kakoii"之類的吧 那為什麼女明星就一定要笑???? 是誰規定女生就要裝可愛?? 最近Erika上過的電視節目 我每一個都看了 我覺得他根本不是囂張 他是很誠實的人 對自己 對別人 這種人總比 表面上跟你有說有笑 但是在被罵的人你好吧? (ie: H!P members which is something that most female are good at) 那些說想當明星是從小的夢想 興趣是唱歌 跳舞 演戲的人 就叫做態度好? 別傻了 想做明星? 當然是因為好賺+想出風頭 是不需要學歷+頭腦的工作 更何況喜歡安室奈美惠的人都不會不好的 (j/k) Erika上TOKIO的節目的時候 講到Amuro的時候 眼睛真的會發亮呢
有人說他不敬業 請問什麼叫敬業? 微笑? wow, everyone can do that... 到現在也沒聽過他工作的時候 遲到早退 不打招呼(傳聞上戶彩不跟女staff打招乎) 擺架子的傳聞啊 未成年喝酒有什麼了不起的?? :p 我覺得他的style就像外國人一樣 我看上去 沒什麼問題~ 說到態度差 演藝圈裡有哪一個差過Avril Lavigne???
anywayz, let me list my shopping list CD/DVD - 濱崎步 - talkin' 2 myself - 濱崎步 - DOME Tour DVD - GLAY - Ashes. EP - GLAY - Live in Budokan - 嵐 - ARASHI AROUND ASIA + in DOME - KinKi Kids - 39 - 伊籐由奈 - HEART - ORANGE RANGE - RANGE (god, never in a million years would I think I'd end up buying an OR album!!!!!!) - Nodame Cantabile 100 Best - 倖田來未 - Bounce & Lovers (why on earth am i getting a Koda Kumi album?????? haha, i wanna know too =P well, this is not a confirm list, i probably won't get it when i run out of cash) - 中島美嘉 - 一色 (gotta keep my "compsoed by TAKURO" collection going =P) - 大塚愛 - Ai am Best (should i???? 台版是不貴啦 但是 我喜歡的歌只有幾首...)
說到Mai 我以前可是很喜歡的呢~ Delecious Way我超愛~ 當年我差點買日版專輯了... 當初真的不是太喜歡"她" 一來他擺明抄宇多田 歌+造型 還要學人家一樣不上電視 (還不是在過氣候上了紅白 超沒骨氣...) 還好像在美國出過CD... pffft 她的Engrish就跟Hikki差遠了 而且他當初根本就是靠Hikki的R&B熱潮才紅的(Ayu才是最了不起的 全世界都在唱R&B 只有Ayu還是唱POP) 二來[Secret of My Heart]竟然比Ayu的[vogue]名次還要高 (同一天出) 雖然Secret of My Heart is my fav song from her.. 但是後來歌越來越難聽 我最後一首有聽的應該是[風のららら]... 之後就完全失去信心了 :p
just in case you are wondering, i'm still alive :p 無所事事的日子過的有點悶了 (而且一天到晚出去 超缺錢 =P) i need a job... (前幾天還敗了Mario的電話繩 (好貴) as if i didn't had enough on my phone already :p 預計過幾天再去敗其他的周邊XD)
if you know me long enough, you should know that i used to be a BIG Mornimg Musume fan!!! and i'm serious!!! 有多喜歡 大概跟SPEED同等級吧~ 但是對於MM 我完全是個人fan 我只喜歡後藤真希一人 對MM的第一印象是99年去日本時正在promote的"furusato" album~ 完全沒興趣~ 一堆女孩的girl band 99年秋天聽了紅翻天的[LOVE Machine] 還瞞耐聽~ 開始有點注意MM~ 至於Maki 真的是非常顯眼 他是屬於非常適合在group裡的那一種 she has that special power to attract peopel's attention and stand out in bunch of girls~ 真的是很難相信當時他才13歲!! 後來跟Sayaka, Kei 3人團的Petit Moni也很可愛~ [Chokkotto Love]更是所有shuffle group裡最賣的作品~ 看了一些Maki的video後 發現Sayaka是很照顧Maki的好姊姊 對於他退團的時候還真的有點捨不得~ Petit Moni第2代吉澤瞳 一開始還滿喜歡的~ 第2張單曲[青春時代1.2.3!]我真的是非常喜歡~ (Maki超美) 覺得代替了Sayaka也不錯 但是在Maki畢業演唱會上Yossi竟然沒有哭 連抱抱都沒有!!! (Rika好像也是 只有握手) 這讓我開始對他非常反感
說到當年Maki被宣布畢業的時候真的是很氣 Tsunku在搞什麼啊?? Maki當時加入才3年ㄟ!!! MM會有今天完全是靠後藤真希!! 去看一下[Furusato]的銷量 是[LOVE Machine]的1/10!! 好了 等團紅了後就把人家踢出去?? 其實Tsunku的做法很明顯是想培育第2個後藤真希 當時高橋愛被說市Maki的接班人 代替了所有Maki的solo部分~ (氣死我了 :p) 雖然Maki solo後的待遇其實不差 (再說Maki在MM時 可以說是受到了非常不公平的待遇=P) 但是一想到當時MM裡有多少人在背後偷笑 (Rika, Yossi, 新加入的那4人 高橋愛等) 就讓我非常不爽 MM的江山是靠後藤真希打回來的!!!!!! 以前的MM 基本上每一首歌都是Maki+Nacchi擔任solo 站中間~ 其他成員其實很像配角 (i wonder if that's still the case now) [The Peace!]時期 第一次 讓Maki, Nacchi以外的人有solo part (Rika) 我想是Tsunku想試新政策 但是很明顯 it doesn't work 其實我不討厭Tsunku 除了他讓Maki退團以外 並沒有對他不滿 因為他實在是太喜歡Maki了 所有的好歌都給了Maki =P Maki所在的shuffle group永遠都是最賣的~
之前因為太忙了 根本沒時間回想... 這4年來 實在是沒什麼直得紀念的事 我的大學生涯其實也只是上學 放學 回家 沒有加入club 沒有去formal 也沒有男朋友 :p 非常平淡的生活 but i like it~ 跟高中比差太遠了 對我來說高中是地獄 =P
4年一下就過了... 我想我很快就會miss唸書的日子~ 其實procrastinate也不差 =P 超又成就感XDDDD and my prof seem to like my project~ hehehehe, "I can see you put a lot of work and effort into it" LOL 太沒天理了~ but my presentation sucks, 因為根本沒怎麼練過 whatever... 回家後猛睡了4個多小時~ <333
******************************** YUI time for some jpop news~ holy crap, YUI's 2nd album sold SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO well??? even more than Yuna's first week??? @____@ 我剛剛才聽 老實說 我之前根本忘了 因為第一張讓我好失望~ umm 真的是不錯 但是有好到首周29.1萬嗎? (wow, that's more than Koda Kumi's 3rd Best Album's sales!!!!) [CHE.R.RY]有這麼好聽嗎?? 唱了兩首BLEACH 結尾歌後就一砲而紅? oversea fan超多 讓我有點討厭 (本人非常討厭那些anime fan中的jpop fan 因為他們白 明明就不懂 還要裝的很了不起 geez, "聲優" are not trained to be singer!!!!!!) 我最愛的還是[Tomorrow's way] 超讚~ 其實YUI的歌style都很像 [I remember you], [Good-bye days]也是這種風格 [CHE.R.RY]則是像[fee my soul]... she really gotta do something about her music style...
(i can't believe it!!!! 我今天竟然無意識的吹了[Yume no Uta] ToT 嚇死人了 更嚇人的是 我竟然吹一吹 變成了[Fragile] o___O 良心不安 最後吹一首[part of Me]定驚 Tetsuya Yukumi實在是偷工減料 一直repeat又repeat... 吹來吹去都是那幾個音 it's not even an octave... 配合Ayu的實力?)
剛剛想起[愛証]的PV還沒看 所以看了一下.... what da hell is that?? some三級片的prologue?? 基本上內容是 Koda Kumi穿著和服 走近房間 然後一件件脫 (i bet all guys are 期待ing while watching) 拖剩一件就在床上翻來翻去......... 其實他要搞脫衣是不關我的事 我最不爽的地方是 這個PV是[part of Me]+[人魚] 而且人家Ayu才剛出了一個穿和服PV 他隔了不到2個星期也出 Avex在搞什麼啊
omake (might as well :p)
errr, some left over... (might as well... note: there are a lot more 色情 性感畫面... go watch on youtube la) [大奧] anyone?? 指甲會不會長的有點可怕啊?
i've been asking myself the same question in the past few days, "why did i take this course?????" 天啊 這個選修科實在太划不來了 本來想說 Jazz有多難 憑我這麼多年的音樂 training 一定沒問題~ 但是我錯了 大錯特錯 @_____@ there are 200 pages of reading before midterm!!! around 80 songs to listen (have to recognize the piece, composer, style, music era etc)!!!!!!!!!!!! 然後大概有30個人名要背 我昨天簡直覺德育到大學4年來在難的mid term!!! 完全覺得自己會fail~ 而且還是最後一年 最後一個term ToT my life is screwed....
so damn tired now, slept less than 4 hours yesterday and stayed in school from 11-6 回到家累必了 但是也不想睡覺 半夜1點半 沒事也要找事做 1點對我來說還是太早了 好像這麼早睡會少快肉似的~ (i wanna do my post about A BEST 2 too... but not now, my brain is not functioning properly due to lack of sleep...)
最近好歌一籮筐~ 讓人超滿意~ my first pick will be NANA Mika's new song [素直なまま] awww~ 比 Mienai Hoshi 還好聽~ (not a big of Mienai Hoshi cuz it sounds exactly like [Will]) [素直なまま]真的就像那誇張的description所說的 新的R&B style~ something new to Mika~ 尤其是after那一堆亂七八糟 不知所謂的country style/choral/rock/punk music~
Hikki的[Flavor Of Life] (original ver) 也讚~ 輕快又簡單的arrangement~ 完全改調過去的缺點~ 很耐聽~ i really hope this single can get #1 in the first week!!! 畢竟是HYD2的image song~ and it is a good song.... (ps. Love so sweet第一周賣破20萬^o^ 只有2個version說 花男效應真是利害!! 但是竟然是相隔了5年才再次手周破20萬... 但是今非昔比 現在的20萬等於以前的50, 70萬?)
在來就是レミオロメン的[茜空] 自從他們爆紅後 我也開始注意他們的音樂 但是後來出的單曲都不怎樣~ 果然 現在紅歌比紅人容易 (with the exceptions of Orange Range and Johnny's) 沒想到又來一首好歌~ (by the way, what does 茜空 mean?) 而且利害的是 跟[粉雪], [3月9日]的style完全不同~ (說到3月9日 背後有個讓人 聽了會"o____O" 流傳於J家fans的rumour~ 話說喜爺的外甥女(?? 應該是這種關係吧...) 也就是未來的J家董事長(?) 傳聞他跟J家年輕一輩藝人們都非常熟 當紅的山P 赤西仁 Jimmy 等 都敗倒在這位未來老闆娘石柳裙下~ J加以外的藝人也很多人追這位大小姐 而[3月9日]正是レミオロメン寫給這位大小姐的情歌~ 因為大小姐的生日就是"3月9日" and that's why it's the tie up song for a Johnny's artist's dorama~ 他們當年的名氣 可以做主題曲實在是奇蹟~ anywayz, please note that this is a GOSSIP, dont ask me for source, i dunno where i read it... perhaps some parts are lost in my short-term memory already... 這種東西 看看就算了 ^^" (但是大小姐真的曾在自己的blog撇清跟山下智九的緋聞~))
..... i think from now on i won't be buying any KOSE product (damn it, but fasio is nice and cheap) ewww, what makes them put Koda Kumi after Amuro and Ayu??? i guess i must admit Koda Kumi can sing and dance.... and she does has some nice songs (once in a while) even though i don't really like their previous spokesperson (Arashiro Beni) but she does look pretty enough to be the spokesperson of cosmetic~ but Koda Kumi?????? ewww.... her face is full of plastic surgery... and stupid KOSE made her look so much like Ayu.... they seem to forgot who made the brand big in the industry.... tsk tsk tsk, bad taste, that's why they can never reach Shiseido's level
is it just me that sees Koda Kumi replacing copying whatever Ayu've done before?
01. GLAY - 夏音 actually, i had a really hard time deciding between no.1 and 2 again... (actually, if i can revise my ranking from 2005, no. 1 and 2 would switch for sure :p)... but i still chose GLAY because I almost cried when i was listening to this song when I just came back (yeah, during my depression :p) it reminded me how much i loved GLAY and a lot of good old memories~ anywayz, of course i love the song itself~ it's so GLAY old-school style~
02. 伊藤由奈 - Precious love this song so much!!! as you can tell it's one of my most listend track :p and considering it's released back in.... April? :p while everyone is thinking ENDLESS STORY is probably gonna be her best hit song and ultimate ballad ever, here comes Precious
03. 浜崎あゆみ - Secret i must say, Ayu's singles this year..... aren't that great... got bored of Startin' and BLUE BIRD, never really liked Beautiful Fighers :p JEWEL... i would love it if it has a more "grand" arrangment like Moments or Walking proud... but i guess it's good to try something new... but I still prefer Secret :p too bad that there is no PV...
04. Kaoru Amane - タイヨウのうた dorama tie-up~ I bet anyone who watched the drama will love this song!! totally fall in love with Erika-chan after watching [1 Liter of Tear]~ I think she's really one of the lucky actress out of like 435824574534 girls, who actually got a good song~ the best selling single female~ #10 of the yar ranking~
05. 宇多田ヒカル - This Is Love totally love this song!! i think this should be released as a single~ it really sound like a million sales single~ 雖然Hikki唱的普通 但是還是很喜歡hi-tech感覺~
06. BoA - Everlasting 一開始聽還覺得非常普通 越聽越好聽~ 聽到現在都還沒膩~ 真的是非常"Everlasting" XD I think i actaully like this song more than most of Ayu's end-of-year-ballad (oops)
07. YUI - I remember you after i got bored of Good-bye days, i started to like this song~ 比Good-bye days耐聽多了~ 連續兩年都上榜~ 我果然喜歡YUI
08. 柴咲コウ - 影 覺得現在的歌星都只能唱慢歌 typical Shibasaki Kou style~ that's why it sounds good :p
*O* aiyo CD封面怎麼可以這麼漂亮啊!!!! the colour contrast is so nice!! guess which one is my fav~ 當然是第version 4, for the obvioius reason - SNOW!!! 當然perspective也很喜歡!! 第2喜歡是version 3, 再來是CD version~ 最不喜歡的是第2張 感覺很不balance
woohoo, Arashi got no. 2 at the male artist ranking!! and GLAY raised a bit from last year~ and Erika is above both 長澤まさみ and 綾瀬はるか
混帳yesasia 越來越囂張!!!!! 今年的傑尼斯學年曆要價US$42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $%^*)+@#)$*(_$ 去年的$31 都已經非常的rip off了!!!!!!! 今年變本加厲!!!! i wanna send them an email and tell them to fu*k off!!! 傑尼斯就算了 天團GLAY, L'arc en ciel的要價US$65!!!!!! @____@ (不如去搶啦 笨!!!)
窮窮窮!!! 我還有GLAY, Ayu DVD要買說 ToT (haha, 最近在變賣家產 賣的好開心 詳情請看[Ura] tomorrow)
************************ 小白
if you think there are a lot of them in the Johnny's fandom, you really gotta see the GLAY ones!! 前幾天打算去一個很久沒去的GLAY forum分享一下Best Artist跟Red Ribbon live 但是一去到就看到一個小白 很驕傲的說自己在GLAY演唱會時 偷拍!!! 還說即使有人叫他stop, 他也沒有理會 說什麼 "wanna make the money worth, more than jsut memory" kinda bs!! #$%*+)@#$* 讓我有點生氣 很公然的在那裡罵了一下 :p sigh... 最近的GLAY fans都這麼白目嘛?? 外國fans都是這付德行? 好慘 當然 我沒有在那種low level的地方share video~ 她們不配看 >:PPPPP
then i came across a so-called "good" fan site.... there's this quiz... 超失望 題目實在是太簡單了 一點挑戰性也沒有 題目也出的不好 很多都ambiguous...可能是作者本身英文普通.... 尤其是第9題.... 那種問題是見仁見智好嗎!!! 第2個level有問哪一首歌是anime theme song (now he didn't mention "opening" or "closing")... 答案是Rain但是其實Survival也是~ 而且[快感指令]當年超紅 很明顯作者不知情... 看到這種"半桶水"的問題 實在是.... i can come up with much better, harder questions :p
but the quiz reminded me of this Ayu test i did years ago, there were 100+ questions @____@ 很難 i cant even do half of them =P
************************ 僕達の勝敗
oh my!!! 天啊 超好聽!!!!!!!! 歌詞好感人 (雖然我不是100%看的懂XD) 聽一聽 覺得是[pure soul]的slow version!!! 所以才好聽 awww~ that's right, go back to their old style!! 好期待album!!! 但是感覺這首歌廳久了我會因為太難過而不敢聽... [CHILDREN IN THE WAR], [STREET LIFE], [全て愛だった], [卒業まで、あと少し]也是...
然後聽了一下[pure soul]... awww, 果然好聽~ i really can't decide if it is my fav album tho, cuz i love [HEAVY GUAGE] too~
last week of school yet things are not due yet ToT... had my presentation today... a pretty relax one :p a major project due tomorrow but already finished that last Wed!!!!!!!! haha, 看到別人在掙扎 覺得有點心虛(?) 但是MSN還是要繼續放著 "busy"扮忙 要是被發現我其他的courses都due了 把東西丟給我做 那不是很划不來
sigh 我的senior project course還有一個paper, final project, presentation ToT 天啊 我還以為這個星期可以解脫了 T_______T life is so hard...... maa~ 在困境中尋找快樂是我的強項~
ANYWAYZ, Best Artist 只看了Arashi跟Ayu的part, where are the rest? ToT J家藝人的part是我出門前就有了~ so that's like 11PM in Japan, right after the show aired~ Ayu的則是剛剛才出現 (I want better quality ver T__T) Orchestral ver sound so goooooood!!! *o*
接下來是12.06的FNS 再來就是MS Super Live 然後是紅白 (OMG, it's Ayu's 8th year on Kouhaku??? 最期待的是DJ OZMA~ no Goto Maki this year? T__T if Kouhaku wanna boost up their ninki, they gotta start inviting Johnny's) 跟著就是超華麗的Johnny's Countdown Live, Ayumi Hamasaki Countdown Live
Ayu looks so cute with that dress~~ I didn't know that most of her fans are GIRLS.... arr... heard that she's singing BLUE BIRD on Kouhaku??????? WWWWWHHYYYY????? ToT Ayu, you still have [Secret]... or [JEWEL]
my [ALL THE BEST] finally arrived and i watched the DVD already~ =) live唱的超~~~~讚~ 雖然不想compare但是live功力比EXILE好太多了 但是冷場程度跟宇多田有的比 畢竟兩個人比一個人熱鬧 i was just saying, Hikki is the only one i've seen that doesn't use 電視牆 in the concert hall but here comes CHEMISTRY (but CHEMISTRY have better stage design) 但是人家CHEMISTRY至少是實力派 還可以靠歌技取勝 Hikki呢? 竟然可以把[This is Love]唱的這麼難聽冷場 haha, i'll stop being mean
arrrrr, last week!!!!!! yet i still got tons of assignment/project/paper to finish... T___T WAYYYY~~ behind for my Arashi info and shows.... i guess i'll have to catch up during after exam.... but Boku-Imo site updated!! with a really short trailer that took forever to load.. (don't we all love the bike scene)
and I totally fall in love with Crystal Kay's new song~~ (awww, I wonder if Jun is the one that requsted to use Crystal Kay...) but i thought it would sound better if it's sang by Onitsuka Chihiro or Misia
more to be added? no, keep the list short and let the BIG artists sing 2 songs!!!!! EHHHHHHHHHHHHH??? NO AYU????? but there's no way ayu is no on this show!!! (and she better be the last or 2nd last performer, NOT KODA KUMI!!!!) awww, I wish Erika is on the list... but i guess she can't sing live =P and wow, lots of Johnny's (eh, no Kanjani8?), this is like a pre-Johnny's Countdown concert =P 傑尼斯家族?? it's more like an empire now~ i thought Tegomass would be performing... oh well, let's wait and see.... (awww, i still remember last year, 玩通宵->送完某人去機場->回家立刻download MS Super Live~ same routine this year... and perhap the last time T___T)
omg, Best Artist is on THIS WED!!! @____@ so damn fast... i have a presentation that day.... arrrr....
yesasia is having some major discount and the $5 coupon deal now!!!! arrrr, damn it, they have Aozora Pedal, ARASHIC, and Kitto Daijoubu on sale!! ^)*@#+)$%*!)$* arrr, maybe i should get my normal edition of Aozora Pedal now? save about CDN$4
and Amuro DVD is on sale for $7.99... Mario Kart DS is $26.99 (Japan version too~) arrrr, 好多東西想買!!!! and i'm still waiting for yesasia to ship my Seasie Bye Bye, ordered a Arashi photobook to make it reach $50, it's taking forever T___T ....
蠟筆小新的mini好精緻!!!! 欲しい~~ hope it's not sold out until i get my coupon =___="
************************** 原來駝背的日文叫"貓背" 好可愛 :p BoA上歌笑也好可愛~~BoA真的是越來越好看~ and i really liked her hair~ 原來跟Ayaya很熟啊? (我好像對跟MatsuJun上同一個鏡頭的人都越來越有好感XD)
剛剛看完Nodame Cantabile 第3集~~ 這集好好看~~ 尤其是在小櫻家開密道的時候 XD 超搞笑~ 真的完全跟漫畫一樣!!!! 音樂也超正~ 聽到"Flight of Bumblebee"時好懷念 於是把譜拿出來吹 arrr, where is my speed?? T___T
花男2第一回好像會有"大人物"當guest~ i'm hoping it would be 木拓 since their drama are both under TBS~ 但是據說那個大人物跟潤很熟... well, 木村說不定跟潤很熟也有可能啊 (擺明希望是木拓) lots of rumour about HYD2, 有人說道明寺會留直髮!!!!!!! i dont care if it's like the manga anymore, 我不想再看到那個泡麵頭了
關8的新單曲有7種版本+普版 每個人一個版本 這次要大賣了吧? 關8最近人氣好像很旺~ 我好像也越來越喜歡他們 (Ryo-chan~~~) (我對努力型+捱苦型很有好感 很討厭一炮而紅的) 是為一一團可以單曲越賣越好的~ 我只希望Arashi不要也來這套 不然我的變態收集心一定會發作... (tho i can see that coming at their 10th anniversary...)
I can't believe i forgot to blog about this =P 我怨唸以久的精選終於要出了~ i kinda had a feeling that it will be released this year, since it's their 5th anniversary
曾幾何時 他們也曾站在日本樂壇的頂端... T____T 初回版好貴 (but instead of live, i want a DVD of ALL the PV...) 但是我說過一定會買日本的!!! 雖然我覺得以他們現在的人氣 大概最多賣個50萬 (unless there's miracle.... well, 連倉木麻衣的精選都有百萬了 maybe i should have more faith in CHEMISTRY??)

**********************
thought it was a weird name when i first heard it... it's named by their producer, saying that their voices blend into one like a chemical reaction~ (which is very VERY TRUE) and let me get this clear, they are no "idol" group!! SONY Music (Japan) has NO idol group!! liked them since their debut single [PIECES OF A DREAM] (yes yes, where i stole the name from) fall in love with the song since my first listen (which is just a short preview from their official site)
They debuted with no 1 on the Oricon chart and hit one million in the 6th week. They are the ONLY NON-Johnny's group that 1) debut at no. 1 on Oricon 2) debut with a million single!!! Their first album sold over 3 millions (WOW, that's more than any of Hirai Ken's albums!!), their 2nd album sold 2 millions and was the best selling album in Japan in 2003.
so exactly what happened?? i think i'll blame it on SONY MUSIC!!! persoanally, I DON'T LIKE SONY MUSIC!!!! cuz they suck and don't know how to manage and package their artists!! yes, i know most artists under SONY MUSIC have the beautiful and most pleasing label called "實力派"!! (ie: 平井堅, 中島美嘉, YUI, 伊藤由奈, 久保田利伸, Crystal Kay, 玉置浩二 etc) err, but "實力派" alone doesn't work in Japan!! most of those 實力派 who wear T-shirt and jeans or suits on TV or hardly ever go on TV, don't appear on magazine, don't have concert tour across Japan, THESE PEOPLE DON'T SELL WELL!! and just look what they have done to Amigo when she's going downhill and what Avex have done to keep Amuro!! (ok, i guess they are doing a really good job on Yuna now... but what about Mika?)
AND, seriously, SONY MUSIC need to fire their marketing manager, 告訴我現在有哪一家笨蛋唱片公司會讓初回版跟普通版用一樣的封面?? and also, "concert" is only for HARD CORE FANS, those ppl will buy the DVD anywayz!!!!!! and if they have enough "hard core fans" nowadays, their CD wouldn't sell like shit #$)(%^+#$)*%)#$*% 要當特典就應該用"PV"啊!!!
(by the way, Taiwan's crappy crappy crappy crappy crappy CRAPPY translation [化學超男子] HAS A REASON!!! cuz they were first named [ASAYAN超男子。川畑・堂珍] when they released their very first single as part of the competition!!)
sorry if this long and pointless post bored you... i'm just sad seeing a group with good music and great singing skill going down hill, and will eventually be forgotten by people one day
