now playing: golden skans - klaxons


Monday was the worst day ever.
First thing in the morning, I found out that my baby wouldn't boot up. Spent the whole morning trying to revive it, but it didn't budge. Sad, I was.
That evening, I happen to watch the news. Found out that the results were gonna be out on Friday. Scared shitless, I was.

So for the 2 days, the computerless me had no choice but to pick up a book and read. Not that I don't enjoy reading books anyway. The book I happened to grab was the Da Vinci Code. It was bought eons ago but apparently I was too busy dealing with school stuff. Finished the book...but was not entirely satisfied with it.

Anyway, the computer man dropped by and fixed my baby up. I think...it's still acting a little wierd. Deleted a whole chunk of stuff I didn't want (including Dir en Grey's singles. bleh). I'm currently in desperate need of an external hard drive. The pc man told me they no longer have the mother board in stock. So if it happens to fuck up, I'm really gonna be fucked up. No kidding.

Finally I got the FFXII ost. I remembered myself whining about how the music sucked in the game. Well that was ingame music...obviously in a lower quality. I'm not particularly crazy about the ost, given that I've played over 70 hours of the game. I got sick of some of the area's theme of course. The tracks I love are probably the boss battle and the esper battle themes. I love the arrangements. This time the music's not by Nobuo Uematsu. Too bad he isn't doing any FF music anymore.

FFXII opening movie



I think I said something about completing FFXII the other day. Actually the only thing I did was defeat the final boss. Haven't completed the mob quest, didn't get the great swords yet, haven't gotten all the ESPERS!!!!! Ultima's being a pain in the arse. I still wanna have a go at Yiazmat. 50 000 000HP. Wonder how many life bars it has. lol. I've recently found this video of the battle. Apparently this person has all his participating characters at lvl 99. ....wtf?


Ashe, Penelo, Basch vs. yiazmat. (30min)


actually this isn't all there is to the battle. This is the 5th of the total 5 videos. I guess the bubble belt really does help, though I always prefer to use sage ring. Notice how the gauge fills so quickly...lol. You can actually increase the battle speed, it's not that the characters are real pro. =) Btw the thing I like most about the game's that you can actually access to the menu and set the gambits the way you want it halfway through battles. Change of tactics is good especially when the boss gets into berserk mode. /)___(\

GLAY appeared in the press conference of the movie Taiten no ken recently. Performed kodou. I've heard the clip of the song at HSSS and I'm not really fond of it. I presume the single's a double A-side? And why the hell's bokutachi no shouhai on it!? It'd better be some acoustic or live version. Looking forward to the B-side as usual.

now playing : I don't feel like dancing - Scissor sisters


I found uncle teru's bloooooog. めちゃめちゃ嬉しよ~~~照さんはかわいいのおじちゃんです。(笑)

Due to my recent eat shit play sleep routine, I finished watching Noein in no time. Man...the last few episodes were tear jerkers. Though I have no idea what they were rambling on and on about quantum physics half the time, I love the plot. Hmmm okay...till now...I still have no idea what are theta particles. lol. alpha beta and gamma I know lah...but theta? @___@ Cheem.

now watching: Le Chevalier D'Eon


Looks and sounds like BLOOD+ but it's nothing like it. Btw...some characters in the anime are really historical figures.

now playing : be without you - Mary J. Blige

ACIDMAN's new album was okay. I prefered and world or equal better though.

I'm about to complete KH2. After finishing FF12...it occured to me how easy KH2 is (of cos lah....E rated mah. haahaa). I love Cloud's voice in this one. Wonder if the seiyuu is the same as the AC one. heheh. Ultra super sexeh. I was hoping the battle on route to the 1000 heartless boss fight would last longer. XDDD YES. I DID wacked 1000 of em'. Super fun I tell you.

Am watching



currently. =D And I thought this anime was crap while watching the first few eps. -__- Graphics ain't great but I like the story plot. More info here.

Now Playing: Afternoon Parade (午後のパレード) - Suga Shikao


I'm a few weeks away from becoming an official HSFC member. Makes me wanna squeal in delight, but I ain't gonna do it. ...Must...resist...fangirlism.....

Ah anyway, on to the music recommendations.

Artistes to check out:

#1. PANIC! AT THE DISCO
#2. YUI
#3. RADWIMPS
#4. EGO-WRAPPIN'
#5. HOMEMADE Kazoku (家族)
#6. Suga Shikao (スガシカオ)
#7. WOLFMOTHER
#8. REMIOROMEN (レミオロメン)

Okay first of all I'm forever grateful to the one who introduced me to peercast. Without it, I'd never get the chance to listen to Japanese radio. God knows how much I love the programme. I'd like to say that I'm addicted to FUNKY FM 802. Rockin' Osakan radio station. I'm glad I don't have to put up with songs by him, her (GOD. I was shopping at TM with JH and her songs were like blasting @ popular bookstore. OUT I WENT), them (copying without permission is a big no no you know), and of course, him (the legendary man w****. Aunties paying a fortune for a strip show is acceptable though....erm...I think? hah). I'd like to add a "no hard feelings" here.
On to the topic, I found #1 interesting as I was browsing the february issue of WHAT'S IN. I like their 05's [A Fever You Cant Sweat Out]. Best song? It'll be [I Write Sins Not Tragedies].
Anyone watching the latest episodes of BLEACH should've heard #2's ROLLING STAR. Her performance at MSSL 06' was great too. I actually started listening to RADWIMPS after Jiro played one of their songs on DBCN. I'm impressed by the vocalist...I believe he speaks perfect English. WOLFMOTHER was introduced by HISASHI actually. A little too heavy for me but most of their stuff are rather good. REMIOROMEN needs no introduction for peeps who tune in to J-music. Till now I'm still addicted to [粉雪].

I've just heard Dir en Grey's latest album [Marrow of a Bone], and certainly not to my surprise, it wasn't to my liking. They've moved on to what...metal? That's a drastic change if you've been listening to them for years. I'm quite certain that most of the songs in the album, if played live, will end up sounding...extremely unpleasant.

Don't know if I've mentioned this before but GLAY's upcoming single [鼓動] (kodou) is to be used as the theme song for the movie [大帝の剣] (taitei no ken). Total of 3 songs will be on the single.


For those who bought LiB, there are 2 typos on the lyrics sheet...

Bokutachi no Shouhai (5th line)

(correct)奇跡-Kiseki (WRONG) 軌跡 - Kiseki

Both are read as kiseki but have different meaning, 奇跡 means miracle while 軌跡 means (wagon)tracks.
MIRROR (8th line)

(correct) 掲げた-kakageta (WRONG) 揚げた-ageta
For more details go here 

I wonder who does the typing for the lyrics/credit section. I remember SCREAM had an error similar to this...but that was released by AVEX not EMI-TOSHIBA. Need any efficient typers? Come find me pls.

Remember the GUNDAM expo Hisashi participated in which was held last year? I finally saw the gundam model Hisashi made. And like our lovable bizarre guitarist, this gundam's bizarre too.





毛毛的!!!*dies* Furry thingies rock. Check out the mohawk pls. lol. Btw Gackt and TMR also participated in the expo.

Now Playing : CALLING - Kyosuke Himuro

Okaaaaay. I was just looking through the Japanese version of Wikipedia when I came across this.

QUOTE:
GLAYのメンバーを呼ぶときは、「くん」付け。TAKUROなら「琢郎くん」、HISASHIなら「とのくん」、TERUなら「照くん」となる。/QUOTE

Jiro calls Hisashi by his nickname!? HOW ENDEARING.

Btw, LiB was partly recorded at LANDMARK STUDIO. *copies Haruhi from Ouran high school* Rich bastards. XD Check out the rates they charge. lol. If you've watched The Frustrated documentary, the place should seem daaaaamn familiar to you.

Now Playing: WORLD'S END - GLAY

Just found this in mail on Thursday...Getting something from HSFC makes me EXTREMELY giddy. @___@ Actually I've been wanting to join it but was too lazy to get around writing a letter to request for the application form. XD

omgomgomg.

Notice how the branch on the logo has 4 leaves... heehee. I remember Hisashi drew the same thing but he replaced the branch with a cigarette. XD
Anyways, they kindly translated the form though it wasn't really necessary for me lah. haahaa. Aga aga can figure out what to fill in. hahaahaa.


Introduction to HSFC. =)



Went to TM today...and got an eyeliner from KATE by Kanebo. I think Mika's currently doing adverts for them...

...the focal point is the eyeliner, not the peeps behind. I just...couldn't help it. XD
Super sharp liner. I got black. heheh.


Gonna drop by at TPJC tomorrow to collect my reprinted prelim results. My guess is that I threw the original copy away together with the books after the A levels. hahahahaaa. *sigh* I'll have to reach there before 9am. @___@ There isn't gonna be any water from 9am-3pm tomorrow too. Shit. I have to rush home before 2 to catch GLAY's appearance on FM Osaka too. X_____X

Now Playing : サラギの灯 - GLAY



It's February 2nd again. Hisashi turns 35 today. ....It's strawberry cake timeeeee!!!




Anyway, I finally received LiB and 100man kai no kiss today. So feckin' late. >=(

LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL





I love the LiB road movie on the dvd. It's so damn nicely done...pretty scenery and all. I like how they stuff flowers into the engine compartment of the car.

100万回のKISS




Yahoo! live talk screenshots:



...the legendary necklace put up on auction...highest bid is currently at ¥570,000 (>SGD7000). 3 days more to go till the auction ends.

zzzomgz. Cute nails. Black alllllll the way.



Teru wearing it. No wonder so many Teru fans are vying for it. XD Ish teh scariness.


I thought the conversation was quite funny. The first half of it wasn't even related to the album. People even sent in questions...asking GLAY if they could play lives at the sea ( i.e. wearing swim suits.) instead of land. I think there'll be too many casualties if they really did that. That Yahoo! host was quite funny...the way he laugh DAMN WIERD.
