SM E A will release more information on the 10th.

I can’t wait!

taking back a previous statement

Remember how I said I thought Leah Dizon’s album “Communication!!!” was craptastic?  Well, i totally take that statement back.  I originally only liked “BxKxRxxx” and “Under The Same Sky”, but now I have also fallen in love with “Thank you”, “Without a Good-bye”, “LOVE SWEET CANDY”, “Communication!!!”, “Step into my world”, and especially “Lost at Sea”.

“Love Paradox” is alright, It’s a little boring to me, mainly because it was a single and I overplayed it.

I’m Lost at Sea

“This lonesliness suites me quite well, don’t you think?”. I heard Leah Dizon say that in her song “Lost at Sea” off her new album, “Communication!!!”.  It really made me think about myself, my personality and my image.  I thought for a bit, “is that me?”, “am i that person?’.  Do I come off as that person who seems to enjoy loneliness?  Do I just repress it to the point where I think I hate it even though I don’t?  Regardless of what thoughts I think, I don’t think it’s true.  I got up and walked out of my room, down the hall way.  Still thinking, I went to my bed and slept …

Some songs I recommend for You :D

Alright, here are FIVE songs that i LOVE so i am recommending them for you!  These aren’t my favorite songs ever, jsut my favorite songs of the now. D:

Tsubomi by Kobukuro Ok, this song is folk awesomeness at it’s best, seriously.  It’s really sad and beautiful.  It’s about Kobuchi’s mom, apparently, who had passed away.  Tsubomi means “Flower Bud”.  “Tsubomi” was a #1 single for their album 5296.

Okaeri by ayaka Another really great folk song.  It has really awesome instrumentals and is just amazing to listen to.  “Okeari” means “Welcome Home” and was the last single released before her album “Sing to the Sky”.

BxKxRxxx by Leah Dizon BxKxRxxx is the highlight of a seriously craptastic album, no joke.  “Communication!!!” is probably hands down one of the worst albums of the year.  Despite not being a single, this song is amazing and has a much cooler arangement and melody than all the other songs on the album.

LOVE2000 by Namie Amuro Alright, this is a Tetsuya Koura-prduced pop song, and let me say it’s kick ass!  It was the last single released before her album “GENIUS 2000″.

INFINITY 18 by Ami Suzuki “INFINITY 18″ is another really bad-ass pop song produced by Tetsuya Komuro right around the same time, so yeah.  It is the title track to her second album, which was obviously titled “INFINITY 18″

every time i wake up …

Every Time I wake up, I’m hoping that Ayumi Hamasaki will announce a new single, but alas, she does not.

I was expectinb her to announce it last week …

It’s maknig me sad. :(

I can’t live with my Ayu.

Isn’t this picture beautiful?

I was on last.fm and Ayumi Hamasaki has a new display picture, I thought it was absolutely beautiful and cool.  I have seen it before, but it was a lnog time ago.  Who agrees?  It’s so sleek and amazing <3

Looooove the motorcycle ;p

Ayumi Hamasaki

Ayumi Hamasaki

This is like, one of my favorite pictures of Hamasaki ever.  It’s jsut so awesome.  Everything about it.  Her psoe, her hair, the fact that it’s in black & white, the motorcycle, her vlothes, the celmet, and omg her jacket and her belt? all hott.

Some more songs not to forget …

Puffy – Angel of Love This song is very calm and cool, and i like it a lot.  It also has a pretty jazzy feel.  Very laid back, nice track.

Mr. Children – Tsuyogari Once again, a nice mellow track i enjoyed listening to.  I never listened to Mr. Children before, but this is pretty much what i expected to be typical Mr. Children fare.

KELLUN – chu-bura alright this is a fast paced rock song.  I love it, the guy’s got a nice voice and it’s just cool, haha.

Joji Yamamoto – michinoku hioti tabi ALRIGHT! this song sounded really old, but it was REALLY awesome.  It has classical elements infused with it, which was totally awesome.  MUST get this one.

Tommy February6 – Tommy Gebratte Macaron ok, i have heard Toommy’s song “CHOOSE ME OR DIE” which was a complete comedic masterpiece, and this song is a catchy pop song, surprisingly.  It seems to contrast “CHOOSE ME OR DIE” quite well, actually, and also reminds me quite a bit of the jpop from the late 90s, a la Ayumi Hamasaki’s “A Song for XX” album, just somewhat more modern.

Chitose Hajime – sen no yori to sen no hiru This song was jsut pretty much beautiful.  I’ve never heard of Chitose Hajime before, but I really like this song.  Nice voice this girl has, and the song has a nice melody with a pop/rock arrangement.

Supercar – Drive just another pop-rock track i have never heard of before.  This song has vocals by a female.  It’s a little folk-y.

Some Random Thoughts

I’m going to blog about my beloved friend Kevin once I have something to say about him, haaaa.  He’s pretty much my best friend who is a guy in the world right now <3

ok, also, don’t let me forget to download these songs;

GLAY – Be With You This song was cool. :D

Spitz – nagareboshi Ok, this song was BEAUTIFUL and almost brought tears to my eyes.

Ken Hirai – Life Is … ~another story~ I’ve heard of Ken Hirai a billion times, but I had never listened to him.  And how, this song is absolutely amazing.  Beautiful …

Shiina Ringo – Love Is Blind I have listened to some Shiina Ringo before (my favorite song of hers being “yokushitsu”), but wow, this song is just full of jazzywin. 

my god i love japan-a-radio
