Hilarious! I don't even have the answer for all their questions xD

Oh well except for #3 which I can vouch for because I am EXCITED and anticipating Yara's 2nd second lead (yes, I meant it that way) which also happens to be his debut kabuki role and first butai partnership with Takki. Safe answer, yes?

I'm still waiting for misosiru's translation for Yara's jweb post about Takki. ;_;

In the meantime, while also waiting for Jyaniz Sleep Over #2 to commence this afternoon, I have THREE huge baskets of laundry to fold. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Tsuyo.

Love them both.

Same as above.

Still love them.
6. The member I would shag anytime:
Koichi!
7. The member I'd want as a BFF:
That's easy. Tsuyoshi.
8. The member I'd slap:

Tsuyoshi, for his acting skills.
15. My deep dark fandom secret:
As much as I want to believe how well the chemistry is between them, their real feelings and thought towards each other is still a big mystery. Gossips and rumours about their love-hate relationship might be true after all so I tend to shove those negative aspects away from my perception of their 'love'.

[ Shinhwa ]

1. The first member I fell in love with:
Dongwan. Initially it was Eric, for being incredibly romantic on SBS Love Letter.

Dongwan, Andy, Eric, Hyesung, Minwoo, Junjin.

[ LUNA SEA ]

1. The first member I fell in love with:

I honestly initially DESPISED Luna Sea without any reason at all when I haven't actually heard their songs before that. It was due to my childish belief that L'Arc~en~Ciel is the best band like in the whole wide world. pffft. Yes, I was only 15 and I was stupid.

March '10 VK Reviews (+ 1 Jpop)

Today's 1pm show of Endless SHOCK will mark their 700th performance. Congratulations to Shock Company for continuously making new miracles on stage! *standing applause*

Feeling stupid for not copying Buzzer Beat into my PC (^^ ;;) I decided to go ahead and work on those postponed reviews.

Notes on stuff I listened to but wont't work on:

1. Damijaw [Muryoku na Jibun ga Yurusenai] - Solo effort from Janne Da Arc's guitarist that I don't have the heart to write about.


2. DuelJewel [Will] - Officially not gonna bother about them anymore. Such a waste.


3. L'Arc~en~Ciel [Quadrinity ~Member's Best Selections~] - Not very motivated to talk about a 28 tracks album when all I liked about it is the inclusion of songs from "Heart" (1996), "ark" and "ray" (both 1998). Ken's Best is the better one because I loved most of his choices. Tracklist is here.

	Title: TATTOO Band: 12012 Verdict: 2 stars. Mmm, a failed throwback to their older image although the instrumental track sounds cooler. And what is with the half assed ballady coupling song? This song makes even 'MAR MAROON' appeal better to me. I... should really stop hoping, yes? Doesn't seem like they'll be getting back on their feet anytime in the next 5 years. Go for: 'TATTOO' if you're not a fan.

	Title: 風がめくる頁 (aka Kaze ga Mekuru Peji) *HOT* Band: D Verdict: 4 stars. I don't remember them being this good! D has completely overhauled themselves into this amazing band all of a sudden. From their latest PV "7th Rose", I can't wait for their new album out this 24th. Go for: 'Wagateki wa Ware ni Ari', 'Kaze ga Mekuru Peji'.

	Title: 春めく僕ら (aka Harumeku Bokura) Band: DaizyStripper Verdict: 3.5 stars. Wow. Slightly dorama ending-ish but yeah, wow. Sorta brings an image of soft rolling waves but I've yet to study the real meaning of this song. 'Kill the King' is... ok, I guess? Go for: 'Harumeku Bokura'.

	Title: World End Band: Frantic Emiry (aka DaizyStripper) Verdict: 3 stars. Right. I don't understand the concept of having an emo alter ego when they sound all too similar. Either that or they ain't heavy metal enough. 'World End' sounds good but not something I'd call ass kicking. But the other track is at least hitting the right spots. Go for: 'Senjou, Shoudou, Genocide'.

Title: WONDERFUL WONDERHOLIC Band: LM.C Verdict: 3.5 stars. Finally gave them a Full Album Trial. A few pretty strong standalone tracks that share the same 'joie de vivre' vibe. Overall, there were some hit and misses in this experiment. I dare say GHOST HEART rings truer to their 1st album and somehow... I prefer that side of LM.C. Go for: 'GHOST HEART', 'It's a Wonderful Wonder World', 'PUNKY HEART', 'Boku no Mirai'.

	Title: R Band: Matenrou Opera Verdict: 3 stars. Clear cut and promising. Looove the guitar solo. Now if only the vocalist would change his glass-shattering nasally voice or sing with more heart. Oh yeah, Matenrou is still a bit off eventhough this slowly gets my attention. Go for: -

Title: MOON SPIRAL *HOT* Band: Satsuki Verdict: 4.5 stars. (Please excuse caps in spazzy review) THANK YOU, SATSUKI. Thank you for releasing this brilliant maxi single so I can erase the two lousy ghei ones from before. THIS! THIS is how you should sing. With all your heart and soul in it. Like how you used to do it. Beauty and rough edges collides together which is guaranteed to leave an imprint in your mind. This is what a former Rentrer member should produce. Go for: 'MOON SPIRAL', 'PRAY FOR THE SUN'.

	Title: sleep Band: SID Verdict: 3 stars. Not strong enough to be marketed as a single. Could've work better as an album filler. The second track is more outstanding for me. Highlight of this single would actually be 'Aikagi' which now has got me wanting to watch their concerts. Go for: 'Aikagi (live)', 'Utahime'.

	Title: Prana *AWEFUCKINGSOME* Band: SUGIZO Verdict: 5 stars. Taking on a different style this time, this song is a coming of age rave that I didn't think he could succeed at. Prana is his absolute best work that it may even surpass 'Spirituarise' (the remix by Juno Reactor). So so so good I had it on repeat every morning on the way to work to activate my brain. Go for: -

Title: advance / また朝が来る (aka Mata Asa ga Kuru) Band: TOKIO Verdict: 3 stars. While 'advance' is too cheerful but fresh, 'Mata Asa ga Kuru' is typical TOKIO yet nothing new. The most memorable song from this single is the surprise sleeper hit 'Period' in which Yamaguchi steals the limelight from Nagase. Now this is one performance I'd love to see. For one thing, who'll be playing bass? Go for: 'Period'.

Toma Daaaisuki

Toma Toma Toma Toma Toma Toma Toma Toma.

But completely unrelated to Toma, there are ants lying dead on the floor of my bedroom after getting tipsy and drunk with perfume. My precious L'occitane is the only substitute on hand sebab takde bug spray. Sadistic dan pemurah sungguh aku ni.

Updates!

• Mama Nurul and baby Ariq Asyraaf are safe and healthy.


• My third nephew is down with the pox and is crestfallen for falling ill during school holiday.


• I have yet to review items I should be reviewing like since last month omg.


• Suju is here in Malaysia and I don't care.


• Sugizo and Takumi have not updated their blogs in weeks and I'm dying for oldschool Jrock instead of scouting for new bands.


• Stress and pressure doesn't sit well with me. I need more KinKi Kids stuff to cheer me up.


• Erm, maybe NEWS can ganti KinKi for awhile.


• Megaupload is so shitty these days. The combination of MU and Celcom is beyond shite. SAIYAKU! -_-


• And omg Toma is so cuuuute when he's with Yoko and Hina. How can I let him go now?


• I hope that little something comes right on time!

[Edit: Oh! Amazing~ Takumi posted something new today! Same psychic levels ftw xD]

I shall end this update post with a short rant because I don't like how cruel some people can be towards their bestfriends.

Hearing bad stories about an old friend whom I thought was beyond human degradation is very shocking. Makes me wonder how she lives without true friends. If I'm cold and heartless, she's just... plain... (please insert your choice of cuss word here) pathetic.

p/s: too many things to tag. guh. lazy.

Oh Woe Is Me

My parents have just left for JB to tend to my sister-in-law after she got warded earlier today for contractions. Her due date's actually a month away, so I hope she'll be fine.

No parents would mean I'll need to wake up at 7am this week to sidai baju and 'kemas' the house. And grab a cab to and from work. And tapau dinner. And... and... Bleargh. Terbang lah lagi duit aku bulan ni.

What's more, I already splurged indulgently on doramas from Saturday's day out with twinnie. Oh but at least I didn't buy Liar Game 2 and Quiz Game 2, ne? If I picked up those two, my expenses at Hiro Comic (and Jusco Wangsa Maju) would've totalled up to RM250. Guh.

It was Tsuyo's Day, indeed: Last Present, California Dream and Gakkou no Sensei. Too bad there weren't any Kochan dramas ;-;

Kimi wa Petto! In a bid to watch the original Japanese version before the sissy Korean one, I shall watch MatsuJun after I settle the three Tsuyo dvds (2 dramas and 1 special actually).

However, I got distracted from this plan because I watched 'Taiho Shichauzo' (aka You're Under Arrest) due to a sudden urge to see Hara Sachie and Itoh Misaki together ^^;;

Also, all those dvds may get kicked to the back if the Toma with Jude Law *squeeeee* on Kuwazugirai torrent finishes before tomorrow morning. Mwahahaha.

What is it with my favourites meeting my other favourites? First it was Tsuyoshi meeting Johnny Depp *squeals even louder* on 24Channel. Now it's Toma and Jude Law *squeals some more* ♥

And quite possibly very very soon on Malaysian soil: Koichi to meet his hero, Schumacher all over again?

Honey Beat

Who wouldn't want 5 Godfathers as handsome as V6? Inocchi, please bring your baby boy along to Johnny's meetings/gatherings/dinners/triad meetings.

• Sakamoto-riida can first teach him how to do a backflip.


• Nagano (the Godmother) can um bring him to ramenya? Just don't let the kid turn into Naruto, sudah.


• Go and Ken will surely teach him dance and apprentice the boy in their future pranks.


• Okada can teach him Kansaiben. Hahah.

Assuming V6 is that close and Asaka Seto would let her child enter the jimusho this early. Pueheh. So the list goes on =P

*must download that V6 game soon*

By the way, I dreamt I listened to Porno Graffitti singing Koda Kumi's "Honey Flash". Sounded cool tho weird that I came up with this concoction.

Anyway, as per requested by Lisa (KinKi fan whee) I'm sharing 'new' links for KinKi skins: [ Smiles ] and [ Yakusoku ] ;D

No Longer Ignorable

I was too absorbed while cleaning up and updating my music library that I missed 90% of tonight's SDK episode ;_;

My resolution to watch Domoto Kyoudai 'live' gets kicked to next week yet again. Sheesh. I really REALLY need to set my handphone AND iPod alarms to go off at 10.30pm next Sunday. Because *omgifeellikekillingsomeone* Becky will be on next ep!

It'll be the second appearance for the die-hard KinKi and spazzy Koichi fangirl! What has she got up her sleeve this time?

Last year she brought one of her copies of the super rare pre-debut KinKi Kids photobook which then prompted Kochan and Tsuyo to autograph it right then and there. Bah!! I was so green with envy then that I didn't bother watching it.

Screencap credit: Nafiza @ LJ

Nampaknye I have to download the above infamous ep before Sunday... *bangs head on table* Ano, I don't hate her anymore (ever since I saw her coolness on NEWS' 24Hour TV) but but but but...

Sigh. I hope she won't be extra annoying in the upcoming Nodame movies. Otherwise I'd have to hate her all over again.
