Ubukata is dead on.

My NOA CDs came, so I can finally enjoy reading ace Engrish lyrics like this: "This forest is my home and live now This foot is running on the forest But the foot doesn't move now The dog of iron biting to the feet"

I like what I've heard from To overflow evidence - there's one song of theirs that I really love, but I'm not feeling the vocals from nim.

Scratch what I said earlier, they put the WHITE ASH video back up until the 25th. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYe8mfuIRog

Saving Mr. Banks. It was alright, but I can't say I really liked it.

I guess kurofuku and "soft"...I typically go for the bands that don't wear much makeup, and I prefer a lighter rock sound (as opposed to metal), like L'Arc, GLAY, etc. Plus "other" for whatever Psycho le Cemu are called.

Wow, how did I not realize that the Eyeshield 21 opening was by Coming Century? Miyake's voice is such a dead giveaway now that I'm rewatching the series.

Pay money To my Pain's "In the blink of an eye" always makes me cry. The lyrics are so blunt, and the way K sings them is just so gentle and sweet that it makes me tear up.

I have a bit of a random and irrational love for THE SOUND BEE HD, and I don't listen to any of those other artists, so... 1. THE BACK HORN - Choujou genshou 2. KUROYUME - Happy Birthday 3. Superjoint Ritual - Everyone Hates Everyone 4. Hitomi Yaida - My Sweet Darlin' 5. Bulletboys - Thrill That Kills 6. J - Perfect World 7. THE BACK HORN - Koufuku na nakigara 8. Lynch Mob - I Want It 9. THREE LIGHTS DOWN KINGS - As I'm Alive 10. ManjiLINE - GOODAY Ooh, there's some embarrassing stuff in this one. Really tough to choose between the good songs, though. I had to cheat a bit.

Why should anyone need to feel bad about growing out of a music genre? That's like feeling bad about not watching Barney anymore. Different things are bound to appeal to you at different points in your life.

Listening to a lot of NOA recently, and I feel the need to share some of their ace Engrish. Ugly Why, why did I started to think about you When, when did I started to think about you I love you that be ugly* with anybody everywhere Can't take anymore You let see your smiles to everyone before me I want to think that your hands aren't dirty And then touch me And then feels me now How can I be more dry now to have a clear view point Our relation is only to do at night And don't bring out any feelings of love Please don't go to everywhere to satisfy your self I will make you happy more They talk about you laughing I don't want to hear their voice So please don't go anywhere Must be your hands are clean *someone had posted a scan of the booklet for this song on their blog, and it says "you that be ugly with anybody everywhere", but it sounds like they changed it to "sex/slept with anybody everywhere" to me from me to you Lyrics: Aki Music: NOA I'm sorry for not give it to you I have dream I have you I understood to think that you are lonely however I do not change I have dream I have you I understood to think that you are lonely I do not change Many thanks from me to you Many sorry from me to you please recall my words when you are lonely Many thanks from me to you Many sorry from me to you please recall this song when you are lonely.. ORANGE BLUE Lyrics: Pocky Music: NOA Walking home, apartment near the train road It feels like time pass slowly Walking home, carrying the groceries Another me won't stop to imitate me Walking home, the little house near the small park I want it to play more but no Walking home, with my bat and glove Before she gets mad I've better run to home fast In the train My suits is orange All the building seems so bright I can't barely look the sight so look down I'm going to persit tomorrow too With my bike She is on back Down the hill After school I'll send you safe 'till we say goodbye Another they had a head and two bodies Then paired strap shine in moment Then goodbye Sun goes down turning every thing to orange And buildings light up their eyes Walking home, where they are belong Sun are cheering you and wave his hands to for you

Still have high hopes for a few things I haven't listened to yet, but so far: Albums/Mini-Albums: Good Morning America - in Tokyo City Suck a Stew Dry - Jibun Senki 04 Limited Sazabys - monolith LEGO BIG MORL - NEW WORLD HaKU - Symbiosis Singles: BiS - STUPiG LIPHLICH - HURRAH HURRAY

I'm not really crazy about either anime adaptation, but the manga is glorious. Every arc is just so different, and it goes off on so many random tangents that you completely forget that it's supposed to be about a kid finding his dad.

Ordered 3 NOA CDs (Picture Book + their two new mini-albums) from CDJapan yesterday. Hoping they actually still have Picture Book in stock and they're not just going to keep me waiting for two weeks before saying they don't have it like they did with the last older CD I ordered.

Just albums, DVDs and shirts for me.

KenKen (Kaneko Kensuke) and Kaneko Nobuaki from RIZE:

Same here.

Was looking over some of the GMA songs I've done, and I think this turned out well. 空ばかり見ていた / I Was Only Looking at the Sky Music and Lyrics: Shingo Kanehiro I’ve only been letting my delusions and imagination grow This reality irritates me more and more I’m frustrated now because it’s not the way I’d hoped it would be I’ve always been living in a state of anxiety I was only looking at the sky I’m just seeing delusions and my imagination But in this space I can escape and I’m not worried anymore No, it’s wrong What I need to look at can’t be decorated Because it’s reality It can’t be helped Is this my destiny? To let my dreams be crushed in the hustle and bustle of this world To wander through my days without goals And to carry this destination-less feeling with me I was only looking at the sky 空ばかり見ていた / Sora bakari mite ita Mousou souzou bakka Fukuramashite Kono genjitsu ni IRAIRA IRAIRA Kakkasouyou joutai Ikiru koto ga Itsudatte fuan da Sora bakari mite ita Mousou souzou bakka Mite itatte Tousou SUPEESU ni Komari wa shinai ga Naa chigau Ore ga miru-beki wa Kazaranai Sonna genjitsu nanda Sora bakari mite ita Doushiyou mo nai Sadame ka Yume Zattou ni momikesarete Atedo nai hibi samayoi Ikiba nai omoi kakaete Sora bakari mite ita Kanji: http://muexma.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-113.html

Oh wow, how did I forget to mention this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKUQCus04eQ

WHITE ASH's "Xmas Present for My Sweetheart" is super cute. Unfortunately, the video got taken down from Youtube, but there's this: ^skip to 2:30 Also, Shounan no Kaze's "Setsugekka":

Toronto, Canada. Not the most exciting place in the world, but I like the weather.

I've noticed that two of the members of Suck a Stew Dry have been randomly translating some of their own tweets into English recently. Nothing related to music of course, just gems like this: I translated a bunch of their stuff into English and romaji in the past few months, including some of Fuse's tweets about his other band, and I wonder if they saw it. Especially since Shinoyama always talks about how much he loves ego searching and there's not much about the individual members online in English...

Does Yuu always look this awkward? Most of the comment is about him and it's like he can't stand to look directly at the camera. The new song sounds good, though.
