More on Current Music Obsessions!

YEEE! Listening to a few songs again and again and again!

Garo "Boku ga ai wo tsutaete yuku 僕が愛を伝えてゆく" !!
Ohno Satoshi solo - Take me faraway
神雕侠侣 - 天下无双 by Zhang Liangying (张靓颖)

All three are lovely expressive songs without rocky elements. This means that I can do my work playing these songs! hahaa oh man sooo funny! But I am singing instead of doing work....tsk tsk not good.

I can't stop listening to Take me faraway! Ohno's voice is more powerful than the rest of Arashi and has the nicest tone! There is always a climax when it comes to certain soundtracks. OHNO's climax part is soooo nice!! hahah what more is there to say? Wonderfully done!

僕が愛を伝えてゆく (Boku ga Ai o Tsutaeteyuku)
Performed by: GARO Project
1st Ending Theme of: 牙狼～GARO～

流れ落ちる涙　抑えきれずに
nagare ochiru namida osae kirezu ni
君は素顔の弱さを　初めて見せた
kimi wa sugao no yowasa o hajimete miseta
置き去りのままの　心を溶かして
okizari no mama no kokoro o tokashite
君を閉じ込めていた　扉が壊れてゆく
kimi o tojikometeita tobira ga kowarete yuku

切ない過ちに　傷ついたまま
setsunai ayamachi ni kizutsuita mama
許すことさえできずに　ずっと一人きり
yurusu koto sae dekizu ni zutto hitori kiri
今は荒れ果てた　景色の中で
ima wa arehateta keshiki no naka de
明日の姿は　何も映らないかも　しれないけど

subete o nakushita kokoro ga mou ichido
夢をみることが　できるように
yume o miru koto ga dekiru youni
僕が愛を伝えてゆく
boku ga ai o tsutaete yuku

崩れ落ちる身体　抱きとめるから
kuzure ochiru karada dakitomeru kara
君は素顔のまんまで　力を抜けよ
kimi wa sugao no man made chikara o nuke yo
過ぎ去った時間は　もう戻らない
sugisatta jikan wa mou modoranai
頬を伝う涙は　微笑みに変わるから
hoho o tsutau namida wa hooemi ni kawaru kara

グレーに煙る空に　キスを浮かべて　君を感じていたいよ
guree (grey) ni kemuru sora ni kisu (kiss) o ukabete kimi o kanjiteitai yo
ずっと　このまま　夢の続きを捜してゆこう
zutto konomama yume no tsuzuki o sagashite yukou
一つの夜が　静かに過ぎても　ずっと　そばにいる
hitotsu no yoru ga shizuka ni sugite mo zutto soba ni iru

悲しみは　いつか　消せるはず

僕が愛を伝えてゆく
boku ga ai o tsutaete yuku

Unable to hold back your tears, 

for the first time, you show me how vulnerable you are

As your heart melts,

the walls you shut yourself within crumble away

I am here all alone, still hurting, 

unable to forgive myself for that bitter mistake

The present is like a scene of disarray, 

a scene where I can't envision what tomorrow will be

Someday there will be an end to this sorrow, 

I will never stop loving you (loving you)

So that you may dream once again 

in spite of losing everything

I'll keep on loving you, 

I'll keep on loving you

Stay the way you are right now,

Should you fall upon your knees, I will be there to catch you

Time that has passed will never return

The tears that stream down your cheeks shall give way to a smile

I send a kiss up the gray sky

I want to feel you, stay this way forever

Let us discover the rest of this dream

Even if the night passes in silence, I'll always be by your side

Someday there will be an end to this sorrow, 

I will never stop loving you (loving you)

So that you may dream once again 

in spite of losing everything

I'll keep on loving you

Someday there will be an end to this sorrow, 

I will never stop loving you (loving you)

So that you may dream once again 

in spite of losing everything

I'll keep on loving you, 

I'll keep on loving you

Take me faraway

天下无双 - Tian Xia Wu Shuang - (A love) unparalleled under the sky
sung by Jane Zhang Jing Ying ( 张靓颖 )

穿越红尘的悲欢惆怅

Going through across life's sadness and happiness

With you as a close companion, (we) wandered around

刺透遍野的青山和荒凉
(ci tou bian ye de qin shan he huang liang)
Piercing through horizons of remote mountains

有你的梦伴着花香飞翔

A sword's shadow, water's ripples

只是过往是过往

If there is still a companion to wander with

枯萎了容颜难以忘难遗忘 ........
(gu wei le rong yan nan yi wang ... nan yi wang)
A withered facet is hard to forget, hard to forget

Yes still keeping my AAA music up there because I just posted the lyrics up a few moments back!

I am going to rest.

Current Mood: So tired

Sweet! Lunar 2 Eternal blue!

WHOA! Playing Lunar 2! Sorta....had to stop because of all the uni work that is flowing in! Up to my head....

Role playing game that was adapted from Sega and remade for playstation. WHOO!!! GO 2D! I am not satisfied with the use of 3D-effect game unless there is absolute smoothness and you really can't see any glitches.

I wouldn't say too much about Lunar 2 mainly because it is an action-packed game and the story keeps moving from one place to another! The big picture is that you are playing decades after Alex and Nall and having to battle the bad crooks. It revolves around the 4 dragons again and some evil doer is trying to take over the world and uses the dragon power to suppress all the good out there.

Also, there are animation scenes (again not very clear) but it goes to show that it is a remake from the Sega version. I miss Sega!!

Hello? This is me!

Jean, awesome fighter

Lemina, powerful magic wielder

Luna who is trying to find a Goddess named Althena. I forgot to get the other pictures.

Bad guy? Who knows?

Although in the flashback, he was. How did he live for so long? Play the game and you will find out.

Lucia, Me, Ronfar (money stealer! Lemina is a money-grubber!).

Current Mood: Exhausted but not wanting to sleep

As you know......& AAA

I know that some of those who visit my website are from overseas and I am not sure if you do know me well or not.

My blog is literally my diary since I am too lazy to write a real diary. So whatever I write in here, please do not take offense as it really is just my opinion. You may have a different opinion to me but I really don't mind what you want to say or in fact let me know that my information is incorrect.

I am still learning a lot of things and many things changes everyday. My entries will soon be outdated and the information that was true to the core back in the days are not true now. The world keeps changing.

Another change that I have made would be....deleting photos off my blog. haha since I do not have a paid account which would let me upload unlimited numbers of photos, I just don't have that resource and not ready to pay yet. Mainly because this blog is for my other friends and family overseas to view.
Also, this means that they will have to come to my blog as soon as they can to take the pictures and never appear on it again ahaha.

Anyway! As I had spoken/written/typed up before, I am going to talk about AAA!!! I currently have 3 songs from them: Mirage, Sunshine & Samurai Heart. These are some of my favourite songs because it really expresses who you are, it is exotic & authentic.

The Mirage entry has already been posted. So here we are with Sunshine & Samurai Heart!

Samurai Heart AAA

You can see at one part that Misako Uno came in too early on the choreography at 2:05 haha but all 7 members had a short amount of time to get this music video done and I think it is fabulous! Just a little hiccup that's all. It doesn't stop me from going ohhh the whole thing is ruined!

I love love love traditional instruments! I wish I knew how to play some! I have one sitting in my room yet I do not know how to fix it up....so yes...collecting dust.

Love love love the lighting, fire and switching scenes to traditional instruments! Everybody gets a fair share of exposure to the camera and the costumes are lovely! Certainly fits the scene but it most importantly expresses the character of the song as the singers dance and make use of the 'wing' on their left arm.

Lyrics:

Sunshine!!!
Oh it makes me want to dance in the sun! lol Fun fun and I really like how it is so catchy, uplifting and free! For me, summer is dreadful as the UV rays here are in full blast, preventing us me from enjoying my day without getting sunburnt or hot!





The words AAA appears above the shop behind the singers and dancers. hahaa I don't understand the other 3 guys on the beach other than just dropping food on them...ahaha man the beach looks so nice though~ darn....this music video is just too nice!

Makes me want to go out in the summer!!! hahaaha I wouldn't mind having the ice in the bowl! Or noodles! yummy

By the way, I think that AAA does Para Para? It is a form of Japanese dancing that is situated mostly around arm movements and the feet don't do much although in certain songs, it requires a bit more foot work. Uses techno music.
It is a type of dancing art in Japan but also seen as an aerobics routine. These moves are repetitive and once you know the basics, other songs don't seem too difficult.

Anyway, See you!

Current Mood: Singing singing lala~

Return of the Legend Condor Heroes

OH WOW! I love this series!! It was orginially a novel and it became sooo popular in Asia that the tv series made for this keeps on getting amazing reviews; resulting in more remakes and adaptions!!!

History: JinYong is a chinese author who wrote the Condor Trilogy. Plenty of his other works are also adapted into television dramas enjoyed by every Asian.
More: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jin_Yong

We have the latest and the only version directed by the Chinese (CCTV) of the 2nd novel in the Condor Trilogy. Main actors are Huang Xiaoming - Yang Guo (楊過) & Liu Yifei - Xiaolongnü (小龍女).


Synopsis
Yang Guo is the orphaned son of Yang Kang (楊康) and Mu Nianci (穆念慈), both characters of the prequel The Legend of the Condor Heroes. He never knew his father and could barely remember his mother. But their legacy, especially his father's, made him an outsider in the Martial Arts World.

Xiaolongnü is a mysterious girl of unknown origin and whose past is slowly revealed in the plot.

Raised briefly by Guo Jing and Huang Rong, Yang Guo was later sent to train under the Quan Zhen Sect (All True Religion). Fleeing from bullying and abuse at Quanzhen School, he met Xiaolongnü of Ancient Tomb Sect (Gumu Pai), who became his teacher.

When they first met, Yang Guo was an impetuous and mischievous 14-year-old while Xiaolongnü was a cold, unemotional 18-year-old. After years of living and training martial arts together in the Ancient Tomb, they eventually fell in love with each other.

More from Wikipedia (but huge huge spoilers!) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Return_of_the_Condor_Heroes

Oh I got the opening soundtrack and it is sooooo lovely!!!!! I love it!!! SOOOO high!! I can sing most of it except the highest note.....I am literally screaming there haha lovely voice though! I have to look it up.

IT IS such a sweeeeet romantic story!!! You have to watch it! I really like it!! And there is a lot of fighting as well! hahaha mum is sooo excited about it and she really wants to watch it!

Current Mood: Relaxing to the Music

AAA Mirage

sigh....I just ran out of things to talk about haha. This is just just just........ahhh...falling head over heel with the AAA Japanese band!!! Previous entry Climax Jump was sung by them.

I was watching one of their single hit video and they really are coming out strong!! After 2 years of being together as a band they have at least 17 hit singles in Japan and they are starting to be recognised overseas! They were in America just last year. Powerful! They tackle a whole range of music genres with different/foreign musical elements.

They execute it very well!! Plus they are consistent in dancing. Most of the 7 members are born in the year 1986-1988 except for the odd Urata who is born in 1982. By being the eldest member in the group, he is then claimed as the leader. Urata has a good singing voice too!

Band members are: Takahiro Nishijima (or 'Nissy' - lead singer), Naoya Urata (leader - lead), Shuta Sueyoshi, Shinjiro Atae, Misako Uno (lead), Chiaki Ito, Mstuhiro Hidaka.

The video I watched was Mirage. I love love love the fancy clothing! If I could...I would choose Nissy's one because it drapes....haha! I don't want the girls' ones...too revealing.


At first I thought Nissy was abit funny looking but it turns out that as I watched the video, he is superb at dancing!!! Actually he is better than the rest of the guys haha

TO be honest...the song didn't really catch my attention...not until I saw the pictures and watched the video....nice dance attire!! alright!





Mirage lyrics and translation

Kanji

人よ 一夜に魅せられ
後先忘れハイテンション
素敵ムードはいつから　媚薬で喉もカラカラ

妄想とか現実のド真ん中へ
NO PAIN NO GET DREAM
飛んで火に入る運命

舞われ 回れYO 欲望のメリーゴーランド 魂さえも身をゆだねて
舞われ まぁ我よ　うねりだす蜃気楼　快楽の底　するりと堕ちて
アレもソレもたぶん愛
感じりゃいんじゃない?

蜜なセリフでくすぐって
ジョークを交えスルーでしょ
惚れて腫れて惜しみなく　命の泉ワクワク

正体とかバレバレのショータイム
NO PAIN NO GET DREAM
お楽しみならコレから

舞われ　回れYO　絡みつくメロディ　エキゾチックに身をくねらせ
舞われ　まぁ我よ　煌めきの蜃気楼　極上の罠　しかける天使
隠れる影も怪しげに
イケればいんじゃない?

舞われ　回れYO　欲望のメリーゴーランド　魂さえも身をゆだねて
舞われ　まぁ我よ　うねりだす蜃気楼　快楽の底　するりと堕ちて
アレもソレもたぶん愛
感じりゃいんじゃない?

Translation
People, for one night be enchanted
From the start to the end, forget your high tension
Since when did this wonderful mood
Act like an aphrodisiac, making the throat dry

Heading for the center between illusion and reality
NO PAIN NO GET DREAM
A fate into which jumping flames enter

Dance, spin around on the merry-go-round of desire
Entrust both your body and soul
Dance, well, I’m a hazy mirage(1)
Slip out and fall into the depths of pleasure
All of this is probably love
If you can feel it, isn’t it hot?(2)

Tickling you with words of honey
The joke is probably mixing through you
Charming your fountain of life(3)
Swelling excitedly without regret

Whether it’s your true self or what everyone sees, it’s showtime
NO PAIN NO GET DREAM
If you’re talking about pleasure, it starts from this

Dance, spin around this coiling melody
Writhe your body exotically
Dance, well, I’m a glittering mirage
An angel who lays the finest traps
As suspicious as hiding shadows
If I extinguish these flames, won’t it be concealed? (2)

Dance, spin around on the merry-go-round of desire
Entrust both your body and soul
Dance, well, I’m a hazy mirage(1)
Slip out and fall into the depths of pleasure
All of this is probably love
If you can feel it, isn’t it hot? (2)

Current Mood: Happy!

Garo

Garo is a Japanese tokusatsu drama containing 25 episodes and this drama is considered to be the turning point of tokusatsu entertainment. Tokusatsu means 'special effects' in Japan. Kamen Rider, Power Rangers, Ultraman etc. are under this category and is mostly made up fighting/battling monsters.

There are tokusatsu movies but those can range from innocent fighting and friendliness to malicious, mysterious and bloody genres.

Garo is an adult and older youth drama that is broadcast in Japan at 11pm which gives the indication that young kids are not meant to watch it of course...they have to get ready for school!!

However, the slightly negative part is that I can't really seem to connect with the show and its character as things happen very quickly....but this is how I feel....maybe it was because I went ahead and watched it on youtube until halfway and then came back to watch it again after 2 years!!

But I do like Kaoru!!! She is soooo sweet! And cute!! Very innocent + funny!

Garo (meaning Golden Knight) is about a man Saejima Kouga who is a magic knight with the duty of slaying 'Horrors'. Horrors are spirits from the demonic world and they can surface on earth through objects whenever an individual develops negative feelings/emotions eg. Greed.

The girl is Kaoru, as you watched the drama, you will get to find out how both of these characters are related in the past and present. Plus there is something mysterious about her and the Horrors.

I really like the portrayal of Horrors as opposed to a person having a dark heart and causing mayhem. And, the director incorporated fighting as well!!! Plus plus plus bonus for me!!

Kouga's armour and it is Golden!! This is drawn by fans in crimson cafe! BeautifuL! The armour is called Soul Metal and it is one of the best and the strongest metal in the world.

Kouga wears a ring. This ring is clever and can detect Horrors!

I was talking about Casshern before and it is a tokusatsu film....I Haven't Watched it YET!!!! I so badly want to!! But I must get my friends to come and watch it along with me!

Today...I walked from North Shore AUT to home with my heavy 4kg hard cello casing (picking up my project from my design teacher)!!!! Oh I am sooo tired!! Also had to come back home to do the washing!! But all good! Was supposed to go to the Luge today but somebody cancelled on the account of not trusting the weather forecast when it said it was fine!!!

WHOO!! I got 85% for my project!! The pictures are under Sam and Peter's 21st Birthday! Oh my lecturer said that she loved it!!! Comments:
Inspirational! Phoebe, Simply inspirational! Creative, innovative and personal. Review was sound and perspective.

It is a beautiful day outside!! WHOO!By the way....How do I wash a blanket????
What mode do I set for the washing machine??? ( >__< )

Current Mood: Jolly Happy!

Rooms

Rooms is a puzzle game designed and handmade by a few korean students. It became a big hit with really good reviews and it always stimulates the brain ahahaha I think so!!!

I had just finished it! I love puzzles!!! Though it can be a bit frustrating for some people that they cannot get the pattern or they cannot overcome the puzzele but I do like taking time from other things to just solve puzzles...others do crosswords and sudoku...I enjoy puzzles haahaha. It is a simple concept yet the puzzles can be really tricky!

Description: Basically it is like the sliding tiles puzzle with only one space for you to move the tiles. In this case, Rooms has many other things that you must collect (you are a korean dude walking between each room) in order to step into another "room"/tile in order to complete the level. Also, you can move tiles, (but you must be in it) just like the regular tiled puzzle with the exception of of your tile being blocked.

The audio sounds like harry potter....at times I get really scared if I play it at midnight but nah...all good. The colour is very vivid and bright!! Although for example, items are not shown very clearly and at first, I had no idea that I had to pick up the newspaper to read about every level. I thought it was for show. They should have instructions for beginners hehe.
