I'm falling...

*sings Koichi's song* "... falling in love with you."

Sorry, Tsuyo. Your new songs are a tad too oyaji-ish for me lately (I miss Endlicheri!)

After dozens of listening to Koichi's BPM Tour (short for 'Best Performance and Music'), I have decided to buy the DVD if he ever releases it. His sexy tunes are definitely not your run-of-the-mill KinKi Kids style but it suits him perfectly like a sarung nangka baluts a... well, nangka of course.

I'm starting to appreciate his music more after noting how awesome he sings solo LIVE. Studio recordings doesn't do him justice. Which is basically why I fell 100% for him from the Endless Shock musical, ne?

Besides, I'd love to watch cameos by Tsubasa (who came onstage) or Yara and Johnny-san (who stayed backstage). Oh please please please.

A summary of the week:

• Inocchi is going to be a papa soon! Omedetou~


• Tsuyo's new show 24CHANNEL offers lots of cuteness to glomp on. Doesn't even reach 20 mins so I wonder what his '100 Things Tsuyoshi Wants To Achieve' would be?


• Chemical Pictures' single is out for leeching. Heheh. Sorry, JImi. I promise to buy your first album.


• Watch Oguri and Mizushima on Domoto Kyodai (subbed by newshfan). If only to lol at the fans for kyaa-ing at a KinKi Kids Love moment. Have I mentioned that I LOVE it when KinKi fans unanimously go "KYAA~"?


• Stressful week. Even more stress coming. As if we're not understaffed yet. Pfft.


• Oh, our Japan Muslim Package thingy is cancelled. Like, BOO!! We've been shoved around by 2 agencies, so we'll just go ahead with the free and easy option. Tak sempat nak wait for other packages.

I seeeeriously don't know why it's so bloody fucking hard to get a vacation?

Oct Updates

1. Sushi Tei played Luna Sea's "I For You" yesterday ♥ Chou uresshi!


2. Kochan's Best Performance & Music solo concert tour ends today. Eventho I wasn't there, great job Kochan *thumbs up*


3. Koichi has confirmed that KinKi will be celebrating New Year in Tokyo. Yay for NagasexKoichi and JunichixTsuyo!


4. Chemical Pictures' new single is absolute PWN. Sad that Schwarz won't be apart of them anymore tho. He makes CP's sound dreamier. T_T


5. 2 more weeks to Japan... but still no confirmation from J-Horizons. sigh.

No Time

My Jrock mode has been off for roughly a month now. I'm guessing since the illegal download crackdown got tougher on J-music, there aren't as many people willing to sacrifice their souls cyber identities anymore?

Quite a few new releases that I was supposed to look up this month but I don't think I can remember now hmm blame it on my anxiousness to fly to Japan. Cough or it may be thanks to the distraction of a certain concert DVD by a certain duo cough.

But nevermind that, I'll find something soon. But it sure ain't gonna be Gazette, ugh, because instinct tells me they're not moving anywhere into the direction I assume they would take after DIM. Although I am tickled by Go's effort (since he's sworn off giving them an actual try) in reviewing their latest single "BEFORE I DECAY".

Sugizo's busy with a capital B as usual. However, he's promised that he'll present us something new soon. *jots down on note to buy his Rise to Cosmic Dance DVD when in Osaka*

Better yet... *jots down all the cds/dvds I think I can afford to buy in Osaka or Japan*

Eid Mubarak!

An advanced Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to my fellow friends and readers :D



I'll be spending a week in Johor (Thu to Fri in JB) and will be back on Wednesday. Have a great time eating and fattening our fat arses. Mwahaha.

For some reason I'm being really perky, eventhough I should be at home PACKING but I'm not... and our tour package is yet to be confirmed... and I'm leaving a lot of work to be handled by some 2 persons in the office... so yeah, anyway... KinKi made me super happy today because they'll be releasing a NEW SINGLE next month.

And if my trip is double triple confirmed, it might overlap with the single release day! GOSH! *dies of happiness*

Countdown to DVD

Johnny's Entertainment intends to tease us into a crescendo by releasing two beautimous (but simply not enough) clips from the KinKi you DVD.

15++ days to complete spazzing meltdown. xDD

"Mou Kimi Igai Aisenai": One of their best (underperformed) ballads from the 2000 album (D album).



And of course, it doesn't hurt to release yet another Live Version PV of "Garasu no Shounen" :D



In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out how to make my dvd drive region free. *shrugs* A few confusions here and there but once I follow the instructions down to pat, it'll mostly be attainable before it gets here.

However happy the clips have made me, there's still that niggling worry after this afternoon's highly disappointing news from our travel agent. Looks like nobody wants to go to Japan all of a sudden.

I mean yeah sure the swine flu is really bummer and all... but c'mon. I think Japan's pretty safe as compared to other Asian countries (including our beloved Malaysia). *double shrug*

May God show us another sign.

Lazyin' with True Blood

I have got 5 to 6 new VK releases to review but the words aren't flowing out very well. If and when I can stop obsessing about True Blood then maaaaybe I'll get them up in oh a coupla weeks. Or more.

Or perhaps only by the time my KinKi you DVD is here ^^;; Either way, I CAN'T WAIT! Nyahahahaha.



SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI MERDEKA! Stay at home if you haven't made plans. Otherwise make sure to avoid overly crowded places where there might be chances of catching some other person's flu. There ain't nothing worse than getting sick during puasa and since this bad weather's not making the illness heal any faster it's better safe than sorry, right?

Raya Cards

Lawa sangat plak aku buat e-greetings utk GSC nih =__=;;

*sends for approval*

I'm tired of making a lot of versions due to cough komen membina cough so this time around I'm gonna do it right and all purty!

You can see em up at the site oh in about 2 weeks or so.

Pissy

My downloads aren't working, this computer chugs like a steamengine, Firefox is being a bitch, Farm Town is loading so friggin' slow tonight and I can't even get episode 4 of True Blood to load!

So when one of my old random schoolmate tries to sidle up to me and ask stuff I consider personal about my coming Japan trip without a simple introductory "Hello, how have you been?" or "Hi, long time no see"... I'm going to be all pissy and rude with her regardless of whether it's Ramadhan or not.

Isn't it annoying when someone, whom you aren't even chummy with during highschool in the first place, messages you out of the blue thinking you'd be all friendly now? Er hello? Do you even know me that well?

Have the decency to warm up to me first please. Then and only then you may cut to the chase and ask me who I'm going with and if you 'know' these friends of mine. Pffft.

It's like an indirect breach into your personal space wtf. And I LOVE my wall-high-1m-wide No Entry Zone which is exclusive only to people I care about.

Sounding pushy and vague, I can't even tell if she's merely making a bad start of a cordial conversation or she seriously wants to join me and my friends. But I'd like to keep this trip 'VIP Only', thank you. What makes you think I'd let you jump on the bandwagon we've worked so hard to build, huh?

Just the other day I told my twinnie on how I deal with friends I've lost contact with. But this is an exception, k? Our conversations were like so few that I doubt it could reach 1 hour totalled up.

Crazy Tats

Was looking for karasu. But found Bluck Tlick.

Was looking for Bluck Tlick. But found GeKiGaKutai.

MUCC makes me go round in circles :S

Happy circles, that is. Because now I have reasonable proof to remind myself why I don't like girugamesh's 'MUSIC'.

The album features a notably heavier sound than their previous album, with a more "aggressive, destructive, and power" sound. Drummer Ryo comments that during touring, the band felt as if "there was something missing in our [Girugamesh's] songs", and the band "wanted to make our songs a little bit harder with an "edge." The band collaborated on "Patchwork", "Stupid" and "Crazy-Flag" with label-mates Tatsurou and Miya of Mucc, and with Miya as the co-producer for the album.

Stumbled upon this forgotten fact at Wiki about girugamesh (the album) by girugamesh (the band, aka Gilgamesh) because Google led me to other random searches for "Jack in the Box 2009". Miya and Tats combi is the love. In fact I love this album the best out of all giru's work.

I shall go now and continue my relentless search. Pbhht! :P

Notes:

karasu = session band covering Kuroyume; consists of Tatsurou (MUCC), Hiroto (A9), and names I don't remember from Sadie and JealKB and um yeah one other guy sorry.

Bluck Tlick = Tatsurou's previous session band; covered... you guessed it: Buck Tick.

GeKiGaKutai = Miya (MUCC) has his own session band? Download!!

Gwailo VK

I thought Elec/Jimi is the only gaijin making waves in VK Land. Who knew there'd be an American band touring the indie underworld over there in Japan?

They're called L2D: Love Twice Despaired.

Really good! I seriously hope they make it big. And I hope Jimi knows them so there'll be more insider gossip news!
