Vanishing Point

doki doki wonder love~! <3

Lol, that was a line from Koi Iro no Yume from SOUNDHOLIC. ;D Um anyways, I’ll try to keep this one short instead of my USUAL long posts.

First of all, I finally got my schedule for classes. I don’t really know what to say. ._. I’ve got AP Human FIRST THING IN THE FUCKING MORNING. And then English after that. Mina says I have the hard teacher. I’m hoping she’s kidding. Mina has the nice teacher. ;_; Lucky~! After that we have snack and I have Japanese. I’m glad >.> Back in 7th/8th grade I had Japanese after snack and it kind of became our class thing. But freshman year, we had it first thing in the morning, so having Japanese after snack..We’re getting our period back! Hmm…Then I’ve got Aerobics. LOL Oh my god, this is going to be awesome. And filled with lulz. XD Then we have lunch…And I have…um..Geometry. Yeah, I kind of failed Algebra..Fuck math. And I have the teacher who hates me! WHAT THE FUCK!? This one time, I wasn’t even sleeping and she walked over to my desk and told me I was sleeping! My friend behind me was the one sleeping! Bitch. And lastly, Chemistry CP. My last two classes are on the opposite sides of the school so bleehhh. :<

Hmm what else. OH YEAH, uh…Kiriyama Renn has a fake tattoo? I saw it before in his blog and I freaked out thinking it was real. It’s a rose and it’s on his neck. Here’s a picture:

It’s in his blog post on Aug. 18th. I FREAKED! I thought it was real! I was like “holy shit! They let him have that!? Oh god! What the hell!?” But it’s a fake.

LOL I’m surprised it lasted that long. This picture was taken from his blog today.

A few updates:

&&& Nakagauchi Masataka changed blogs recently (more like, day after his birthday). His new one is at Oricon. Here’s a link for those who don’t know yet: http://blog.oricon.co.jp/windbreeze/

&&& Hirata Yuichirou, 4th Cast Kaidou Kaoru, recently got a blog at Oricon too! I don’t know if he had any previous blogs..None that I know of at least. Here’s a link for you fans : http://blog.oricon.co.jp/hirata/

&&& Ookawa Genki’s, LUKE.C’s, and Watanabe Daisuke’s photobooks were released today. Genki’s photobook is titled ‘High Spirit’, LUKE’s photobook is titled ‘For’, and Daisuke’s book is titled ‘With the Wind’. Their DVD’s will be released in September.

&&& Shiozaki Airu is going to be in a new musical called ‘Rhythmic Town’ apparently. Ah, just found out right now via blog, it seems as though Takagi Shun will also be in this musical(confirm/deny?)


___

Oh, I recently went shopping…Three days in a row. It’s a fucking record. My sandals broke. :< I got:

- A purple/grey stripe cardigan from Tommy Hilfiger.

- A green Dooney & Bourke Rope print bag (this was for school, lol)

And lastly, a pink/black leopard print bracelet bangle.

I also got my bag/materials for school. My school bag is a Hello Kitty ‘Alice in Wonderland’ bag. It’s so cute! :D I love Alice in Wonderland. And I also got a new wallet since my old one was dirty. ._. It’s a Hello Kitty Cameo vinyl wallet. The Asian mall I went to only had Hello Kitty stuff…And Naruto. So..yeah. Hello Kitty it was. LOL

___

That’s all I’ve got. LOL, although, I have been watching ‘Shibatora’. Koike Teppei is so cute! Augh! Lol, I’m only on ep. 4 right now. Watching it raw just because. Kiriyama Renn is in this…according to his blog (guest appearance). I don’t know what episode he’s in. Maybe that’s what the tattoo was for?! -shrugs-



;D Yeah, okay, I hope everybody has a good weekend. I’m gonna go now. Goodnight everyone!

EDIT FOR KIRIYAMA RENN INFO!:

!!SPOILER WARNING FOR SHIBATORA!!

Renn-chan shows up in episode 7 as part of the group ‘Helter Skelter’(they’re good guys btw)…Um he ends up being a traitor. Awesome hair by the way. He makes a sexy bad guy. LOL And yeah, the tattoo was part of his character. :D That is all!

EDITED…AGAIN FOR MORE RENN-CHAN AND SHIBATORA!!!

!!!SPOILERS!!!

Though it only lists Renn-chan as a guest for episode 7, he’s also in episode 8. Which would explain why he had the fake-tattoo again. :O He gets his ass beat up. HAHAHAHA, also Miura Ryousuke. I love that guy and he is sooo cute(like a puppy)…but…omfg his forehead! HUEG LIEK XBAWKS. LOL Oh god, everytime I see it I can’t stop laughing! XD His hairstyle from Tokyo Ghost Trip was cuter. :< Go back to that~!

Thousand Beats

kimi dakara~

Waah, we’ve been blogging alot lately. Haha, better get it all done before school starts. Which reminds me, registration is tomorrow. I don’t want to go~! AP Human is going to totally wreck me, I can feel it. Also, Japanese 4. I’m surprised I passed J3 LOL. Having Japanese first thing in the morning wasn’t really my thing..I mean, I just woke up 45 minutes ago and I have to be speaking in another language already? But hey, I passed so ehh. Hopefully Oyama-mama will be a little more lax this year. And I really want to see Ms.Brannen(english teacher)! Mina and I made her a gift basket at the end of the year since she had breast cancer surgery. I hope she liked it, I keep wondering about it lol.

Hmm what else what else..AH! It’s Ookawa Genki’s(Rikkai’s Akaya) birthday today(Aug.26)! He’s finally 21! Yay~! Happy Birthday Genki~! Also, it seems alot of people forgot, including me, but Saitou Takumi’s(Hyoutei’s Yuushi) birthday was on Aug 22. ._.;; Sorry for forgetting! Happy Late Birthday! He’s…27 this year. ALSO, It was Wada Masato’s(Yamabuki’s Sengoku) birthday on Aug. 25, just yesterday. He’s…29 now. I think that’s it..

I just found out recently, cause I’m so damn slow, but Kaji Masaki(Second cast, Momo) shares the same birthday as me! January 29th. <3 The only thing that sucks about my birthday is that it’s the same time we have quarter finals! I had finals on my birthday this year, you know how sad that was? I spent half of my birthday studying for english. LOL As funny as it is now, I hope I don’t have to do that anymore. Next year though, finals end the day before my birthday! So it’s kind of relaxing. Nobody really remembers my birthday anyways. HAHAHAHAHA

A bit of a subject change but a new episode of Genki’s radio show aired a few days ago. I’ve been meaning to write about it but my HUGE LIEK XBAWKS posts of Tenimyu got in the way and I didn’t want to make them any longer…SO anyways, he opens by talking about Comiket 74!<3 Oh god, I spazzed. He’s such a damn otaku I love it. LOL, he says he wanted to go to Comiket to see the cosplays. Wada-san asks from what series and Genki can’t really answer because he wants to see alot. Lol, then Wada-san says “with that long hair you can cosplay alot of people” and Genki just laughs and agrees. They also talk about doujins, Genki says he doesn’t really read them. They do a early celebration for Genki’s birthday…I wish I could say more but apparently niconicodouga is down for maintenance right now and I listened to the episode when it came out…On the 22nd. So err..yeah, sorry about that.

____

I watched Burimyu for the first time in over a year. For those who don’t know what Burimyu is, it’s the Bleach Musical. I didn’t watch the storyline one, just the Bankai show. Uhh It was good, just a bit awkward watching it. And I only recognized the old songs. XD So lame. I’d do a full review of the show but…It’d be weird so I’d rather not, unless asked for. Kope(Hanatarou) is so damn cute. LOL, his english is good too! He updates his blog in japanese and english so that’s cool. He came to California for school..right? If I remember correctly. Some of the guys were previously in Tenimyu by the way.

Tsuchiya Yuichi ‘Tuti’, Burimyu’s Ichimaru Gin. Tenimyu’s first cast Oishi Shuichirou.

Kitamura Eiki, Burimyu’s Kira Izuru, Tenimyu’s (even if it was only for a short while*)first cast Kawamura Takashi.

Ohkuchi Kengo, Burimyu’s Aizen Sousuke, Tenimyu’s (also short time*) first cast Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Moriyama Eiji, Burimyu’s Abarai Renji, Tenimyu’s first cast Momoshiro Takeshi.

Gomoto Naoya, Burimyu’s Hisagi Shuuhei, Tenimyu’s first cast Kaidou Kaoru.

Nagayama Takashi ‘Nagayan’, Burimyu’s Hitsugaya Toushirou, Tenimyu’s first cast Kikumaru Eiji.

(* Eiki and Kengo were only in Rudolphmyu but it was during the first cast so yeah)

Because they were all first cast members…Do they ever talk about it? Like during the backstage parts, do they ever talk about their days in Tenimyu? I’ve been wondering that. LOL

___

Ehhhh no way. -reading Kimeru’s wiki page- He dedicated the song ‘Oath in the Storm’ to Yanagi? No way, I love that song. LOL That’s cute, really cute. <3

OH YEAH! 2 last things…I’ve found out some things through communities and blog stalking LOL but..It seems that Masa-chan(Niou) was at a Wild Strawberry event with 12012’s drummer Touru? That was a bit weird, to be honest. I went to Masa-chan’s blog and there was a picture and then I went to 12012’s blog and there was a picture there too so…LOL, I laughed when I first saw it. What a clash. In 12012’s blog, Touru called Masa-chan an ikemen. Masa-chan’s blog is too long. But he says he got to meet Touru and they chatted..If I read correctly, Masa-chan asked Touru if he did his hairdo himself. And he said that it’s really cool. And Touru replied that the hairstylist-san did it that morning.

And also, Araki Hirofumi is getting together with SuG’s vocalist Takeru for a movie? Wtf? By the way, I don’t really listen to jrock anymore, but I still know some of the bands. But anyways…wat. The title for the ‘movie’(?) is called “Ikemen Visual Kei Band”. Umm..I can’t say I’m not intrigued…Cause I am. I’m curious as to how this movie is going to go. What the plot is like….Haha, I look forward to seeing it.

After all of this whole ikemen meets jrockers thing…To be honest I was thinking “it’s like the past me meeting the present me”. I went through a whole jrock phase for a long time and then fell out of it for ikemen/idols. It’s kind of weird to think about it but okay. Lol, it’s cool. I want to see more actually.

-yawn- Well, I’ll end it here, I’ve got to go to registration tomorrow. So, goodnight everyone!

Relax, Take it Easy

Has anyone here ever heard of Usagi Kou?

Well, she just entered the sailor moon forum I frequent (sailormoonforum.com) and she has been /b/tard-ing the place up. She’s filled what was once a happy place full of happy people into a horrid wastebasket of memes. I mean here is a regular conversation with her:

Sailormooonlvr954: “Omg!! Usagi Kou do you still do think you’re sailormoon?”

Usagi Kou: “STFU!! You’re just butthurt. No cookies for you!!”

and then she follows up by posting a non-comical lolcat. It’s gettin really annoying.

I suppose I should tell you some more about her…

She is considered the most infamous Sailormoon cosplayer on the internet, and she causes long arguements in every forum she enters.

Also some have speculated that she thinks she’s sailormoon, but who can know? She’s to batshit to admit anything.

And also, she goes by the name usagi kou, not her real name (LORI), and she names all her boyfriends mamo-chan (mamo-chan was sailormoon’s bf in the series, aka tuxedo mask)

I shall provide you with some links:

 http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/Usagi_Kou

This is her dramatica page. The sad thing is, just about everything on this page is true, it’s not the average parody. Also check out thie links at the bottom, they are hilarious.

http://sailormoonforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1962&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=20

The forum on which some drama was started. Hilarious drama revolving around the great Usagi Kou using words in strange contexts. Her post starts at the middle of the page

http://sailormoonforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1837&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=80

read from second post on. she says some pretty horrible things.

She just needs to get away from cosplay, sailormoon, and the internet. I wonder what she’s going to do when she’s too old for cosplay…

She also is infamous for raging at people who talk about her, so when she does a vanity search she will probably see this blog and flame our comment box…

Not that I mind since we have 2,000 views and… what… 5 comments!!! Really people what’s wrong with saying Hi? We need feedback to see if people actually like the blog. Nosukii and I do our best to entertain you! If you have a blog, Nosukii and I would gladly say hello to you.

Also, I’m terrified that we might have, like, serial killers or pedo’s reading this blog… The only person who reads our blog that Nosukii and I know of (from people we’ve met in real life) is Alex, and I forced him to read it because he’s like my best friend.

Maybe we are just boring. I never thought we were boring. We have many interests!! Queen, Mika, Prince of Tennis, Touhou, Bossa Nova, Tim Burton, Sailor moon, Jojo’s, bad 80’s movies and music, and Naruto Porn Guy (who has disappeared)… Where can you find that kind of diversity?

Surely something must appeal to you.

I mean it’s not like we talk about burning our mouths with Pork n’ Beans, or discussing people like Gorbachev and Barack Obama.

What kind of nerd writes about that stuff anyway?

The Greatest Thing You’ll Ever Learn is Just to Love…

…And Be Loved in Return

-Christian (Ewan McGregor), “Moulin Rouge!”

Yeah. I just totally cried watching that movie.

And not that anyone’s noticed, but I haven’t blogged in forever due to my current babysitting job. It sucks. You see, I’m not too fond of children, but all children like me, so they always want to talk to me about pokemon or hanner montanner and I’m just like:

“Yeah ok, go away now.”

And one of the children I’m babysitting is my cousin, who is the brattiest, snobbiest little girl I’ve ever met. I get paid $100 a week, but watching her… sometimes it’s not even worth it… She pisses me off to the point where I have to constantly leave the room and text Nosukii, saying:

“God, I want to smack that kid”

Nosukii: “Then do it!!!!”

But I can’t or i’ll get in trouble. So I just settle for telling her she’s spoiled, to which she always replies “And you’re not so ha!” and then she runs away.

Also, I often forget that there are certain things you can’t say to children, such as “STFU”, which I yelled and then covered it up. Good thing kids are so gullible.

Also (this one’s really bad), My little cousin’s friend was holding a fairy wand thingy, and she said “This is so long and smooth!!”

And I (having the mind of Michael Scott from The Office) laughed really hard and said (more to myself than anyone else) “THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!!”

All the children in the room looked at me and said (with big innocent eyes) “What did you say mina?”

I sputtererd around a bit and then came up with the brilliant excuse of “I didn’t say anything.” God I’m smooth

God. If I have kids, I’m gonna be the worst mother ever.

Okay, back to Moulin Rouge. That movie is fantastic. The imagery, music and eveything was “spectacular spectacular”. The basic plot follows the stiry of a writer, who has this crazy fascination with love, he thinks it’s wonderful and beautiful, despite the fact that he has never been in love..

But then..

he sees her…

Satine…

the most beautiful woman ever..

who just happens to be a showgirl/whore, but ignore that…

and he falls madly in love within 3 minutes. Yeah, I thought that was a little weird.

But I’m not going to spoil anything, so I’ll just focus on the music.

There really isn’t an Original soundtrack, as most of the songs are composed of many lyrics from other songs, or just songs that have been made famous by others…

Like when they played “The show must go on” (Straight forom Queen!!!! I was so fangirling) when (SPOILER) Satine was dying, but she still forced herself to perform (parellels with Freddie, anyone?)

Other music included was “My Song” by Elton John, “Heroes” by David Bowie (I love David Bowie), “I will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston, and “Smells Like Teen Spirit” By Nirvana (Nirvana FTW), and “Like a Virgin” and “Material Girl” by Madonna.

I guess I”ll post a scene from Moulin Rogue, which has most the songs previously mentioned:

This, by the way, is called “Elephant Love Song”

If you don’t watch the whole thing, skip to the about 2:50. That’s where it gets really pretty…

God. LOVE that movie. I’ve always been a big fan of musicals, but this one was so different and vibrant. I love all the clothing and architechure of that time.

That’s probably why I like Panic at the Disco so much. It’s like Glam Rock. Only there to look pretty, how well they sing can be debated.

Except David Bowie. He can sing. And dance. If you watch the “Danicing in the Street” music video (a duet with Mick Jagger!!) You’ll see what I mean.

And in the movie, they played this one song and I was singing to it, but I didn’t know where I heard it, and I asked my mom and she said it was a tango/remix version of “El Tango De Roxanne” by The Poilice (who my mom is a huge fan of)! I actually like it better than the original! 

I think this is now one of my favorite movies. Definatly my favorite musical, and I know musicals (well, mostly movie musicals) In my opinion, it beats out Grease, Hairspray, Wicked (which was great, but in a different way), Singing in the Rain, and maybe even *gasp* Chicago.

It’s that good.

Perfect date movie, has romance, singing, the guy who plays Obi Wan Kenobi, a midget, a whore, and romance.

And I watched it with my mother. Date movie with my mother. God I’m a loser.

It’s times like these I really wish I had more female friends I could watch movies with. I mean, I’ve got Nosukii, but still…

CHANGE OF SUBECT-CHANGE OF SUBJECT-CHANGE OF SUBJECT

I’ve been really pissy lately becaus when I went to the dentist last week, what does the Japanese prick tell me?

“Oh? Did I write down you could get your braces off? I meant you could get your rubber bands off!!”

Mina: “…what. the. hell”

Mr. Miyamoto: “But look at the bright side: You’ll get them off for sure in September 8th, just before school starts!”

Mina: “…I start school on the 4th.”

Mr. Miyamoto: “…oh. I’m so sorry” [hands mina a toothbrush] “Well, take care of them until we get your metal retainers made.”

METAL RETAINERS?

MORE METAL IN MY GODDAMN MOUTH?

I was so hating the world at that moment, and all the orthodontists in it.

And then what do I find out? I was supposed to get plastic retainers, but my mom told the dentist to just stick with metal ones as they are about $100 cheaper.

WOW. Gee thanks mom. I sound so spoiled, but really, I’ve been told the past two years i would get nice clear retainers, and then what happens? Poof… All hope of never having metal in my mouth is gone…

After that my mom promised me I could get clear retainers next year, of course I’m not holding her to it, because this isn’t the first time she’s done something like this.

And then, to put the icing on the craptastic cake fillled with disappointment that is my life, I still had to get my braces rewired.

Oh wait, the cherry on the cake:

I look into the mirror and…

…my new braces are even bigger than the last ones, because the dentist didn’t use rubber bands, he just used wire. God my luck is crap.

And that was a week ago, and my teeth still hurt.

On a happier note, I have become addicted to Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Which is weird, because I hate most games with mario in them, and I didn’t like the previous Smash Bros. games. But this one is actully fun.

And it has Hot Twilight Princess Link.

They should make a game with the hottest video game characters ever. Starting with:

1. Hot Link from Twilight Princess

2. Prince of Persia from (duh) Prince of Persia

3. Pit from Brawl (or the original one from Kid Icarus, but he was funny looking in pixels…)

4. Liu Kang from the Mortal Combat Series (preferably armegeddon)

5. Meta Knight!!! (just kidding about that one, but he is a pretty good fighter in brawl, unlike stupid Lucas, that kid can’t do crap)

and that’s all I have so far.

Ciao

見つめる 暗闇の影
こっちを見て 私 ここにいる
吸い込む はがれた想い
飛ばさないで
見えない 心の欠片
今すぐに そこまで行くから
したたる 指先の傷
顔を上げて

震える瞳の奥に写る二人
まつげの先 偽りの先
超えられないものを超えて

無知という名の鎖が 足を引きずらぜる
あと少しの もう少しの 快楽を求めて
かかげる祈り あなたのぬくもりが
いつまででも 「いつまででも」 続くように かしずれ

悶える気持ちが 揺れる
行かないで 私 ここにいる
冷たい視線 感じる
背けないで
揺らめく 羽が舞い散る
抱き止めて 失わないように
たなびく 未熟な想い
握り締めて

言葉はなくても判る 指をさして
えくぼの先 微笑の先
優しく唇を添えて

探る鼓動の音 腕に招き入れる
あと少しの もう少しの 安らぎを求めて
怯える吐息 誘う 甘い香り
いつまででも 「いつまででも」 溺れたまま 絡まる

わからねくてもいい 感じられればいい
紙一重の ガラスの壁 透ける夢がたわむ
手に届くのは あなたの柔らかさ
どこまででも 「どこまででも」 堕落の底 道連れ

+TENIMYU WALL OF TEXT PART 2 STARTS HERE+

Tenimyu DL5th backstage. <3 It’s always fun to see them practicing. Especially since they brought back alot of the older stuff, they all had to learn/re-learn the dances. :D They celebrate Yui-chan’s birthday..He’s actually really cute outside of being Kaidou. For some reason it’s just weird when he’s Kaidou…

Genki needs a haircut. :< I love his long hair but..ehh…I liked his haircut from when he did his photobook 168. AND Ryousuke leading the dancing! YEY! Wasn’t expecting to see that but it made me happy…Except his pants. ._. Extremely baggy jogging pants, large shirt, and backwards hat? Err…yeah, I prefer the ikemen look. Haha..What was with those car seats that RENN and Genki were sitting in? O.o They had seat-belts and everything…And then Masa-kun pretends to be on a bike and crashes into them. <3 BY THE WAY!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAKAGAUCHI MASATAKA!! Turing 23 this year on Aug. 23rd! Hope he had a good day…Genki sure does like his Burberry Black Label shirt doesn’t he? O.o I SEE IT FUCKING EVERYWHERE! Lol jk.

KANE-CHAN!! Does he have something with Rokkaku’s songs? First, in Higamyu, he attempts to sing Kentarou’s ‘Onna no Ko to Chuu‘ and now in DL5th he attempts to sing Saeki’s ‘Hitotsu Yari Nokoshita Koto‘…RENN and Ryo do an imitation of Akutsu-senpai’s ‘Ore ni Sashizu Suruna’…Can you believe I’m older than Ryo by like.. 7 months and a few days?! He’s cute though. LOL Anyways, Ryousuke says it’s his third time doing a Dream Live but he’s nervous, in which Kazuma butts in saying “(its your third time) why are you nervous?”, Ryousuke says it’s because the arena is bigger and that how can he not be nervous but he’ll do his best. <3

Kaneda saying “mitekimata”? God I don’t understand. Haha, it’s supposed to be ‘mitsukemashita’…And wtf was going on with Ba-chon? He says “ba-chon” and flails his arms around like…I don’t know, he lost me. XD And Takumi…He seems to fit in with Yuki, Mamo-chan and JURI quite well…He laughs alot more and he gets along pretty well with them…Their little “juu-nin to iro~ juu-nin to iro~”. But when they sing ‘VICTORY!‘ and Takumi’s just standing there on the stage..haha, it was so sad looking. And then they zoom to the main stage and Akutsu-senpai’s there doing the dance all quietly = <3

D1 LOVE! And Shougo calling Ueshima-sensei ‘dad’ and practicing his scene = LOL what the hell. Mamo-chan dancing to Fuurinkazan! BUT IT’S THE SAME LINE! Mamo-chan is like “Fuu! Kaze no gotoku! Fuu! Kaze no gotoshi!” Oh my god, you gotta love Mamo-chan. Masa-chan and Genki talking about their ‘hair’. Ugh such girls! jk ;D (btw, watching tv right now and PERFUME is performing their song Love The World and it kicks ass <3 AND HOLY SHIT THEY SHOWED CLIPS FROM SHOKOTAN’S ANIME EXPO CONCERT! YEYEYEYEYEYEYEYEYYEYEY!)

A message from Konomi-sensei himself! He actually went to go watch it? Awesome. He thinks it’s interesting and he REALLY likes it. LOL He says “daisuki” so.. <3 He says he wants DL to continue! :D Lol Tomo’s tennis racket had a message..that I wish I could read. CAKE! Somebody brings cake..And Ouji says he brought it, but then Ryousuke says he brought it, and then Shouma says he brought it…and then Kazuma says he brought it. WHO THE FUCK BROUGHT THE CAKE?! Lol And Ba-chon goes for a new hairstyle.

After that, they show some footage from the show. The part with the guests, instead of Yuushi it’s Kabaji. Lol, him and Ishida have a ‘match’ but it turns into a song. ALSO, on Kai’s pirate hat..that thing looks like a ” |: | ” face doesn’t it? I keep looking at it. ._. Mamo-chan and his mic. XD I couldn’t stop laughing, he puts it too high and tries singing with it. Haha Yui-chan’s bad dancing! Didn’t know the camera was there~ Higachuu’s Fuurinkazan! LOL Oh god, Kaneda. I love you so much.

Kaneda:…Ishida

Ishida:hm??

Kaneda:…MITEKIMATA! :D

Ishida: LOL that’s too much XD

DREAM LIVE IZ SRZ BIZNIZ as you can tell from Genki, Masa and Daisuke’s faces. >.> OH MY GOD THE GUESTS! Because they did alt. versions since they didn’t get to sing their school’s songs..They do “Do Your Best” and start off with Kaneda

Ishida: Do you best! Kaneda!

Kaneda:…hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm buchou-oh! ;D

lshdg;skdjg;a MOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~ LOL just kidding…ha…ha..

Oh they also show Daisuke when he gives his message to Tomo (because he’s graduating) and he cries. D’aaaww Daisuke. And you can hear someone else crying, I assume it’s Tomo..And Ueshima-sensei gives a message and then it’s just more scenes from the shows.

The end.

Also, another extremely long post. Sorry bout that.

tl;dr SYNC.ART song romanization/kanji versions and tenimyu DL5th backstage.

Hysterical Object

ikanaide watashi koko ni iru

JYAAAAOOOOO! Been a while since I’ve blogged. :D Oh and that first line is from one of SYNC.ART’s songs on the album End of the World released at Comiket 74. I actually can’t read the kanji for the title though so…Haha, it’s track 3 though! And Hysterical Object is the title of C.S.C->Luv’s new album also released at Comiket 74. Both CD’s kick ass by the way.

Umm, I’ve been listening to alot of Touhou music lately, mostly new stuff released at Comiket(lol Funkies <3)..alot of instrumentals that I never would have used to listen to but thanks to Funkies, I gave it a try. :D AND I was able to hear the AWESOME that is =NeutraL=!! Their album is called “蒼天月華” and there’s only 2 songs with vocals but one song, History of the Moon really catches my attention! It’s so good! And the vocalist is good at English lol.

TOUHOU EDIT: Because a Nameless Fairy posted a picture of Meiling as Orin or..Orin as Meiling(god whatever lol) I DID IT. Because..I felt…provoked. LOL

That’s the original, here’s mine:

Yeah it’s stupid-looking. The ears are from Halloween and obviously, I cosplayed Meiling so..Ehh. I lost my ribbons so I made some make-shift ones.

TOUHOU END HERE

MUSICAL TENNIS NO OUJISAMA WALL OF TEXT STARTS HERE

Hmm what else..well…I’ve been watching my DVD. I got it on monday and I’ve been so into it! Dream Live 5th YEAH! At first I didn’t know if it was limited edition or not cause nippon export didn’t say anything but…when I opened my package..IT WAS! I stopped breathing at that point. I was planning on going back to sleep that day actually (long story short, I went to sleep at 6am, woke up at 9am to get my dvd) but just seeing my dvd made me so happy! Here’s a picture!

My ever so delectable stickers and the file it came in. <3 Probably never use them but ehh…

Now onto the musical!

Agagagaga, I’ve seen it like a million times by now lol. Yokohama Arena is so big! Uwaahh~ I liked the opening with Ueshima-sensei! He usually doesn’t show up that much in Dream Lives but in this one he was around a bit more so yey! And buchous! Ye~y buchous! Haha…AND THEY OPENED WITH ‘AOKU MOERU HONOU‘! LIHS;djf;sgjal;djgs;lj;sd ;_; I WAS SO HAPPY! My heart skipped a beat. They brought back so many of the older songs!

And then Rikkai! Their opening song was ‘Oretachi no Jishou ni Haiboku wa Nai‘! Kane-chan’s jersey looks a bit disheveled doesn’t it? LOL His collar is a bit messed up and his hair looks like it’s flaring out of the back of his hat. XD Sanada saying “Yukimura, how is today’s performance?” and then Seiichi saying “…It’s the second (dream live) performance but everybody’s movements were bad!” then everybody proceeds to take a step back like ‘wat’ and then “just kidding <3!”. Yagyuu goes “…nobody laughed.” AND…THEN….KANE-CHAN STRETCHES!! And gets ready for….’FUURINKAZAN‘! That will alway always always be the weirdest dance from Tenimyu ever…so far. But I can’t say I hate it. ;D Cause SECRETLY I want to learn the moves and dance to it. PFFT. JOUDAN DAYO. HUR DUR DUR :B But seriously. Rokkaku comes out for a little dance. Haha Kazuma wearing a hat. Too bad Jutta couldn’t be in it. :< RENN-chan does his FAIYYYAAAA part though.

HIGACHUUU!!!! Haha, Eishirou walking into everybody sleeping. I’m sure Kai doesn’t sleep with his hat on though. Lol Chinen looks so…stiff while he “sleeps”. Tanishi comes out with a shark floatie thing on his arm when they sing ‘Dark Horse‘. XD OMFG LOL and the fucking tennis ball that is like..bulging out of Kite’s pants. LOLOLOL. Oh my god that was so wrong. XD And then Fuji comes out for ‘Tennis to wa…‘. Yuuta’s movements are so…hmm I don’t know how to explain it but I guess it’s because of his previous ballet classes…Taka-san comes out for his part..and..throws glitter at Fuji with a ” ;D ” face…which was gay. I actually really like this song, the first time around when I heard it from Higamyu, I wasn’t really feeling it but I’ve grown to love it. :D I like Taka-san’s voice. Then after the song is done, Saeki comes out and is like “is your voice okay?” “yes, I’m PERFECTLY fine!(wtf are you talking bitch lol)” Lol battle.

Saeki sings ‘Hitotsu yari Nokoshita Koto‘ but he sings it kind of differently…I don’t know but I wasn’t really…into it as I was in Higamyu. BUT I LOVE LOVE LOVE how they changed the lyrics when the song goes “Ike! Saeki! Seigi no tame ni. Omae no kokoro wo butsuke yare! Souda, Saeki! Omae wa koko ni wa nai nakama no omoi ni mamorarete iru“.Rather because Rokkaku IS there it goes “Ike! Saeki! Seigi no tame ni. Omae no kokoro wo butsuke yare! Souda, Saeki! Omae wa hitori janai, oretachi no omoi ni hitotsu dakara”. So instead of the original “the thoughts of your friends that aren’t here are protecting you” it’s “you’re not alone because our thoughts are one”. <3 Uwaah I loved that part. After the song ends they talk a little, complain that Dabide and Bane-san aren’t there.

Kentarou: It’s okay! Look, we still have Sae-san!<3

Saeki: What are you saying~! <3

Ryou: It’s not what he’s saying that’s the problem, its the reaction. And by the way..Kentarou…Why are you wearing a hat! That’s my thing!Take it off!

Kentarou: No way!

Ryou: TAKE IT OFF!

Kentarou: You take it off!

Ryou: That’s impossible! You take it off! I’m your senpai!

Kentarou: I’m the captain!

Ryou: Captain!…Please excuse me -bows-

___

After that…Tezuka sings ‘Yomigaerishi Mono‘ and FUCKING FLIES. I keed you not. It’s kind of gay. But then Higachuu comes out and sings ‘Ore wa Koroshiya to Yobareru Otoko‘ with a sexy dance. XD Then Higa and Tezuka have a chat and Ryouma comes out…AND OPENS WITH…’ORE WA UE NI IKU YO‘! And it goes into ‘Be Cool‘.

AND THEN DUN DUN DUN! Akutsu-senpai~! He sings ‘Ore ni Sashizu Suru na‘. I fucking love JURI. But he really does scare me as Akutsu-senpai. Hahaha, after he finishes his song the guests come out on the mini-stage opposite to the main stage. It’s Kaneda, Ishida, and Yuushi! Yuki makes such a damn good Kaneda <3 I loved it. And Mamo-chan! Best Ishida! I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Takumi is just the real life Yuushi, it’s scary. And then they act gay. Kaneda cries for his loving buchou, Ishida cries for Sakurai and Yuushi cries for Gakuto. <3 nfu. Then, because they don’t get to sing their school’s song they take turns during runs. During this one it’s Rudolphs. So then ’sing’ ‘Erabarashii ELITE Shuudan‘. “Rudolph ni tsudou warera erabareshi tennis no elite” and then Ishida says “Elite janai!” because he doesn’t go to a private school? He calls himself a commoner. So yeah..it goes on for a while and then he calls himself bald. LOL

SUDDENLY, BUNTA’S VOICE. He says “Hey you guys…There’s no more after this…(roughly saying)” in this really..sexy voice. LOL And Rikkai comes out in their school uniforms which I died at. They sing ‘Omaera Gakuppuchi Girigiri‘ WHICH WAS MADE OF SEX AND WIN. ;D Genki’s little wave = ahhhhn~<3 . After they’re done, the guests come back out and open with ‘Koko Kara Ga…Oretachi‘ which made me so happy! Rokkaku comes out and helps with the song but for some reason I was so happy it wasn’t Seigaku singing it. Breath of fresh air? And I loooove getting to see Ryousuke dance. Haha and fucking shit Shouma! He makes the cutest Icchan! Hnnggg..I died. XD 9999 DAMEJIIIII~! Oh they also sing ‘Somero, Tsyoku nare‘!

VIKINGS!? PIRATES?! WAT! FLYING KAIS?! YES THATS RIGHT, ‘VIKING HORN‘. Caps lock, cruise control, etc. I don’t understand why Kai was flying though… ._. They kinda lost me. Lol, Higachuu does a little quiz of sorts and then Niou and Yagyuu come out on the opposite mini-stage…LOOKIN KIND COOL THAR. Pimps. LOL. Cute though, I liked it. Yagyuu had sunglasses on on top of his regular glasses. AND BEHOLD! A new dance for ‘Petenshi daa? Nanto demo ie‘ I REEAAAAAAAALLY liked it. It was so good.

And then, of course because they’re doubles players…IT’S DOUBLES TIMES!!! And OMFG YES! ‘Golden Pair‘!!! AGAGAGAGAG Tuti and Nagayan would’ve been proud. So a bunch of doubles pairs come out such as akaya/renji, saeki/icchan, rin/chinen, momo/kaidou, taka/fuji, and of course niou/yagyuu and the golden pair! After they finish the song, Eiji is like “Oishi~ Don’t leave me and play singles okay? -pout-” “Eiji….yeah!” AND THEN EIJI SINGS ‘JUUDEN KANRYOUKU‘! lasfha;kghskeghskhslhkaeligdk -died- D’aaawww. Eiji looks so cute with that thing wrapped around his head and bow around his waist. I actually didn’t like Kyousuke-kun that much but holy fucking shit…HIS SMILE. IT’S SO….MABUSHIIIIIIII~! Sugoku mabushii yo. While Eiji’s singing, Kai, Bunta, and Kentarou POP OUT OF THE STAGE! SURPRISE! All wearing a bow and head band and sing along too. Haha, when Bunta’s part comes up and he’s wandering all over the stage, everybody else is like “what the fuck are you doing?” and he squeezes in a “tensai teki!” as Eiji pushes him away. Unfortunately the dance that goes along with ‘Juuden Kanryouku‘ is looking really fucking gay and it makes me tingle all over. LOL And what in god’s name is the Ichinen Trio wearing!?

And then, the sad part sets in. Kaidou and Momo come out. And Kaidou sing ‘Ore wa Mamushi” OMFG YEAH! BRING IT BACK NOW TOMO!! <3 It came with a sexy mamushi dance! LOLOLOLOL. After he finishes the song, the rest of Seigaku is waiting for him at the back side of the stage (stage plan is weird, there’s a main stage with a runway with a little stage at the end and at the other end of the arena is another little stage). Because Tomo was part of 3rd cast and played double Kaidou with Hirata Yuichirou, Tomo graduates at the end of Dream Live so Yui-chan gives Tomo a message. Tezuka, aswell, gives Tomo a message, thanking him and saying that 4th cast couldn’t have grown without him. At this point Tomo is talking and you can tell he’s trying not to cry. D’aaw. They sing “The Regular“. Oh my god I cried. What the fuck man. When Tomo was singing his part and started crying, I cried. He picked himself up and finished his lines while I BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW. Alot of other people come out, some from Rikkai, Rokkaku and Higa.

There’s a pause break and “Kimi wo Shijiteru” starts up. Lol, Sanada is on the mini stage and Yukimura is on the main stage. When they’re done, Yukimura says “You’re so far away” and Sanada says “…yeah”. GAY. LOL

Ueshima-sensei comes out and talks a little and Seigaku comes out in their DL!Outfits and sing “Oretachi no Aikotoba” and”Forward, My Men!~Try Again!”. During the ‘Try Again‘ part, Higa, Rikkai, and Rokkaku come out and sing while Seigaku gets changed..And then the song switches to ‘Reunion~HEAT UP~2‘. After that it’s over but they come out for an encore and sing ‘F.G.K.S‘…It’s quiet and then…’On My Way‘ starts playing! And for some really fucking unknown reason, I started CRYING! Holy shit lol. I just BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW while they sang…And then it was really over.


Lol, longest post ever.


tl;dr I listen to new Touhou music thanks to Funkies, get my Tenimyu DVD, Tomo graduates, I go crazy over old songs and cry, and watch a whole bunch of gay.

F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5!!!!

Comiket 74! YEAH SUBTERRANEAN ANIMISM! And some new IOSYS. ;D

So Touhou 11 is out, there’s a new IOSYS CD, my DL5th DVD should be coming soon, school is nearing, my patience is running thin and I had more weird dreams!

Ok so let’s start with Subterranean Animism. Um first of all. FINALLY YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY! Second… Chen + China = STAGE 5 BOSS. Lol. Character design is pretty…um…unique. ._. RETURN OF SANAE? Okay.

New IOSYS CD! I Like it! Though Hina’s song is a bit too..happy? I don’t know, it’s a bit weird but I like it. REMIXES! Omg so good. Osaisen Choudai remix, I love so much. XD And Oyome ni shinasai! remix was weird. O.o

My DL5th dvd was shipped out like 2 days ago..so…JUST A FEW MORE DAYS. According to EMS it’s in San Fran right now…

I went shopping for school supplies. I still need a school bag and a cute new pencil case. XD My shoes are dying by the way so I should go buy some new ones…

I HAD A REALLY WEIRD DREAM. I watched that Kagamine Rin video, The Daughter of Evil and then read a post made on lj about a masaxba-chon community right before I went to sleep. That created crack. …Ok so in my dream I was a princess(that sounds so cliche) and I was supposed to marry Niou. I know that it’s supposed to be Masa but I don’t know, my brain took the actors and made them into the characters for my dream. And Yagyuu was my servant or something (gentleman~!). So the day before I was supposed to meet up with Niou for whatever reason, Yagyuu told me he liked me. And ODDLY ENOUGH, that’s where I woke up. Haha

I just heard Genki’s new radio episode on niconico. God, that man and his Saint Seiya. Lol, well one person wrote in and asked what Genki does during the day. He said when he doesn’t have work, he’ll wake up, eat, watch some tv and fall asleep on the sofa. Lol so…boring. XD He got new contacts or something too. And he only recently got himself a PS3 and bought the game SIREN. What else…He’s so damn cute. LOL When he does his challenge corners. <3

In other news:

Katou Ryousuke, Rokkaku’s Ryou, is working with Fudomine’s Sakurai, Takagi Shun or Shunri as Ryousuke calls him on a project called “Oresama Cool” or “oresama ku-ru”.

Rokkaku’s Saeki, Irei Kanata, is working on the musical Elizabeth right now…

OH and if you look in Shuji Hayashi’s blog ,Burimyu’s Byakuya, there’s a cute picture of Genki holding up a poster of YOSHITSUNE.


Hmm..I wonder what happened to Shiozawa Hidemasa, ST.Rudolph’s Mizuki. :< I know he modeled for that one magazine FINE or something…In which he looked pretty damn tanned. ._. Last time I saw him acting was in Renai Shindan…What the hell is he doing?

Anyways, I’ll end it here. I’m getting sleepy. Goodnight everyone~!

EDIT: what the hell, lol. The day I start wondering what happened to hidemasa, a post goes up in his lj comm. asking about his whereabouts. XD

Turn and Face the Strange Ch-Ch-Changes

Note: This is a continutation of my previous post “When She Walks it’s like a Samba”, found here:

http://nosuya.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/when-she-walks-its-like-a-samba/

(regular post)

I think I should mention my tastes in Music are becoming a little more sophisticated. I mean, yeah every now in then, I listen to a bad disney song (part of yooouuurrr woooooorrrrllllldddddd), but overall it’s changing. Like, I ran out of room on my ipod, so I had to delete some songs. Well, alot. Like 111 out of my 160 Jpop songs. Currently have 49 left.

It’s weird, like I still like Jpop, but when I hear that Perfume or Koda Kumi have a new single out, I don’t go and listen to it, like I used to. I just go “Oh really? Cool” and leave it at that. I just don’t care for it that much anymore. When I deleted music off of my ipod, I didn’t hesitate to delete all of my Koda Kumi, Perfume, Ayumi Hamasaki, and Okui Masami music. I even deleted some of my lesser-liked Sailor moon music (only due to space. one song was 3 minutes long and 15 MB. I was just like “not even for you sailor moon”), which I never would have done 2 months ago.

It’s especially strange because not only did I delete these songs, I did so to make room for classical music and jazz.

I think my interests in everything are just changing. Like, a month ago, if I saw the Keiko Kitagawa or Ayaka Komatsu was in a new jdrama, I would be like “MUST SEE” now I’m just like “oh. hope it goes well for her career, maybe she’ll do a PGSM get together” and that’s the end of it. I don’t check out her blog as much anymore either. Not to say I’ll stop watching dramas altogether, especially not the korean dramas. I have grown up on those horrible, but lovable, korean soap operas.

I’ve noticed the change in anime I watch too. Usually, I don’t go out and look for anime to watch, more like I stumble upon it, decide it’s interesting and watch it. I don’t seem to stumble as much. I’ve been perfectly content with my few favorite series: (God I sound like a mainstream whore) Utena, Sailor Moon, Fruits Basket, most Clamp works, Peach Girl, Pretty Cure, Shugo Chara, Love Hina, Shin Chan, and Miyazaki films. And also “Bitter Virgin”, which was the last anime I “stumbled upon”. It’s really quite good. No, not the point… also, it seems like that’s a lot of amine, but in reality it isn’t.

I do like anime some, I’m just not the “die-hard fangirl” i once was.

I am still a manga whore, because I’ve always liked manga better…

I also mentioned in a previous post my clothing style has changed drastically (still wear fishnets though, just not with neon colors) and it has…

Maybe I’m just maturing. I suppose it shoud happen, but that doesn’t make it any less weird for me. I always thought that when one goes through a point of maturing (in terms of likes, dislikes, and clothing) that they never realized it until later, so it seems a bit awkward for me, as I am fully aware and freaked out about it. Like what if I turn into a horrible person as I approach adulthood? How do I know I’m not a terrible person now? What if everyone I know hates me and I’m completely unaware? For all I know, I could be the meanest, rudest, sluttiest girl in school, and be completely ignorant to it all. I doubt I am the meanest, rudest, sluttiest girl in school, but there may be one person that thinks I am, even if everyone else doesn’t. I mean, I’m know there’s a handful people who hate me and my presence, but doesn’t everybody have people that hate them? It’s all very confusing.

Or back to the music thing. The past three years (7the, 8th, and 9th grade) I’ve been very static with what I listen to. I have liked the same music, and then all of a sudden, within the 3 months that is summer vacation BBOOOOMM it all changes. Like my newfound love for the carpenters. I’ve always liked them, but was more interested in bands like MCR, Fall Out Boy, Wolfmother, She Wants Revenge. Jimmy Eat world, and all other  stuff you find on the KROQ station in you car. I still like the bands, just not as much. I still like Panic at the Disco, who up until a week ago I forgot existed. It’s like the only reason I liked them was because they seemed like something I would enjoy, not because I truly enjoyed it. If I had seen someone a year ago who was wearing a Bleach shirt, had a Queen pin attached to their bag, and was singing a song by the carpenters, I would have immediatly thought “Wow. That’s unusual.” I wouldn’t care now. I’d probably just be happy they knew who the carpenters were, and that the fanbase wasn’t dead.

I’m pretty sure I was the definition of close-minded when it came to people and the labels they wear. But it’s not so black and white to me anymore. It’s like, I can like Anime, Queen, The Last Unicorn, Iron Maiden and Mozart if I want to. Which I always did, but I thought it would be too weird for me to admit. Like a goth saying his bedroom is pink. Way strange.

Even my whole multi-colored tights phase. I did like them very much, but after a while it seemed like the only reason I wore them because I should. They were like my signature thing, like Nosukii and her numerous hair colors. I felt like I wouldn’t be myself if I didn’t wear them, so I always did… and then it just got to the point where I was like “why do I wear them? Do I really have a reason, besides liking them a little bit?” Which I suppose is a good reason to wear/do something, because you like it, but after a while I got tired of them. And liking them wasn’t my only reason, like I said I felt it was my obligation to wear them whether I wanted to or not. 

And now, I just don’t care what people think of my interests. I don’t mind saying I listen to Brazilian Jazz, or the Carpenters, or even Classical music. I would have hesitated in April, but not now.

That doesn’t mean I’m going to go out in the middle of senior square on the first day of school and scream “HEY WHO WANT TO LISTEN TO BEETHOVEN WITH ME?????” because that would be just stupid.

But if people talk about aforementioned artists, I won’t lie like I used to.

At least I hope I won’t. I hope I don’t walk to Whitney on September 4th and revert back to anything that has changed in the past 3 months. That would make all my self actualizations pointless.

I also hope I have the decency to show up wearing an outfit without tights, large plastic jewelry, or a miniskirt. 

But I suppose only time will tell. I’ll see what I wear on registration day…Once my braces are off…

STRAIGHT TEETH FTW!!!

Ciao~

EDIT: Forgot to mention that since it has proved popular, I am working on two new chapters of my series of posts “My music is where i’d like you to touch”. The two new ones will be “My Music is Where I’d Like You To Touch at the Prom” which is a list with commentary of songs I’d like to hear at my prom; and “My Music is Where I’d Like You to Touch at a Concert” which will be about instrumental pieces.

When She Walks It’s Like a Samba

Hello there readers. I finally blogged!! I’m so proud, you see, I’ve been sick these past few days. And today I feel better so I figured “Why not blog? It’s better than watching maury” Which brings me here. Well, actually, what brings me here is the fact that my “Happily Listening To Music Time” was interrupted.

You see, every now and then I get strange urges to leave my usually 80’s/70’s rock/pop and listen to something else. This time it happened to be saxophone music. Along with clarinet, piano, and some Classical, but still. Mostly saxophone.

Since the majority of music we have belongs to my father (he collects CD’s, has about 600 now), I had to go to the garage to find some. While I was in there, I found music I haven’t seen in forever. So I just grabbed whatever I could find and went back into the house to put them on my ipod, which then went into my ipod speakers.

And the I laid on the floor in front of the fan, as my fever was acting up again (wood floors are really cold- it was heaven. So for about an hour, I listened to the musical stylings of (listed as name-occupation-songs):

Stan Getz (Brazilian saxophonist): “Girl From Ipanema” along with many others

Astrud Gilberto (Brazilian Jazz Singer): “Girl From Ipanema”, “Fly Me to the Moon”, “Look of Love”, others

Joao Gilberto (Brazilian Jazz artist): Numerous duets with Stan Getz

Dave Koz (American Saxophonist): Oh my god, he did a version of one of my favortie songs, “Careless Whisper”!! Except instead of singing the 2nd and 3rd chorus, he just plays the sax. Really lovely cover.

Chet Baker (American Jazz Artist): “Stella By Starlight” with Stan Getz

Vanessa Mae (Asian-British Violinist): “Minuet” and “Firefly” aka, “Hotaru’s Lalala Theme” from Sailor Moon. Yeah, she did Sailor Moon music.

Debussy (Classical Musician [Twilight fangirls, cream your pants]): “Claire de Lune”, “Reverie”, “Nocturne”, “Fantasie for Piano and Orchestra 

Frank Sinatra (you’re shitting me if you don’t know who this is): Numerous songs. Found my dad’s “Frank Sinatra: Duets” CD in the garage and have stolen it.

Kenny G (American Saxophonist): Mostly listened to ”All the Way/One more for My Baby” on the Sinatra duets CD. He plays kickass saxophone music.

Bono: Not a big fan of U2 or Bono, but he sang the song “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” with Sinatra, so he can’t be that bad

Mozart (Communist who played piano at the whitehouse in 1960): “Violin Sonata in D”, ”Clarinet Conceirto in A”

Beethoven (pioneer of the electric guitar): “Violin Romance”, “Moonlight Sonata”

The Rippingtons (Jazz band, played with Dave Koz): “Moonlighting”, “Open All Night”

Antonio Carlos Jombim (Brazilian Jazz artist): “One Note Samba”

Sailor Moon (Don’t know the name of the artist, just that it was in sailor moon): Numerous Piano covers of famous Sailor Moon songs. Also some off of the “Brass Fantasy” album, which are also covers, but done is brass instrumentals.

Vince Guaraldi (American [?] jazz artist): Famous for composing a lot of the “Charlie Brown TV Specials”. Listened to the song “Fur Elise”, off of his christmas album.

Carpenters (See any entries under: http://nosuya.wordpress.com/category/my-music-is-where-id-like-youto-touch/ for info on them) “Touch Me When We’re Dancing”. It has a beautiful sax solo. 

Michael Frank (American Pianist, i think): No Saxophone, just piano, and something else I can’t out my finger on… Listened to his song “Popsicle Toes” which I loved when I was little, but never knew what it meant. Listening to it now, about 7 years later, I realize it is about a guy saying he can “warm up” his freezing girlfriend by having sex with her, so she will no longer have popsicle toes. Ew.

Annie Lennox (of Eurythmics fame): “Love song for a Vampire” It’s like a slow song, but techno-y. And it talks about Love and Blood, but never mentions Vampires.

And that was it. I was just lying on the floor, letting all of the smooth jazz, brazilian jazz, and classical music that in my “Recently Added” playlist surround me.

I of course forgot that playlist has everything I added in that past week. Imagine My surprise when I hear this:

“MY MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL THE BOYS TO THE YARD”

Oh yeah… I totally forgot I added that just yesterday…

And thus, my easy listening ended, and I then listened to horrible slutty music that shouldn’t even be on my ipod, including:

“He Loves Me He Loves You Not” Dream

“Milkshake” Kelis

“Don’t Cha (Wsh your girlfriend was a freak like me)” Pussycat Dolls

“Want Me, Want Me” Namie Amuro (sluttiness in another language!!)

That song that goes “More, More, More, how do you like it how do you like it”

“Buttons” Pussycat Dolls

“Girlfriend” Avril Lavigne

“Candyman” Christina Aguilera

“Girls on Film” Duran Duran (couldn’t help myself)

“I Wanna Sex You Up” Some rapper from the 90’s

“Like a Virgin” Madonna

“I kissed a Girl” Katy Perry

“Obsession” Animotion

Ahhh. Lovely skanky songs.

Edit: I originally kept going on and on about different topics in this post, but I’m just going to move them to a new post.

Kimi to watashi betsu no michi wo yuku Kokoro kousa shita mama de

Yume wa subete hikari ataeru no Omoi itsumo koko ni kowarazuni
Hitori aruki tsuzuketeru ima demo Nokoru egao sore wa hito toki no
Kokoro yureru koto wo kakushiteru Itsuka betsu no michi ayumu


Notes: [1] This was really…weird. Okay so in the booklet for EXSERENS the kanji is written as “unmei” but in the song, Nomico sings it as “sadame” which is not really much different from unmei, seeing as they both mean “fate”.


If there’s any mistakes, please let me know! If used elsewhere LET ME KNOW TOO! Credits please! Thanks :D
