I thought I had written before why I thought “Shadow of Love” is the saddest song ever. Seems not. So, here goes… There are so many sad songs out there, a good number on break ups and the aftermath, but this one is on longing. The longing to be with someone, to have someone to hold on to. My previous…

Because Pretty Things Don’t Last
Was listening to Olivia Lufkin’s songs, the inspi’ REIRA ones in particular. I’ve always said “Shadow of Love” is the saddest song ever, but really, all the inspi’ REIRA songs have a tinge of sadness to them even if they sound more rock. I guess they truly fit the character of Serizawa Reira and Olivia brings out the character really…
Sakihokoru Thoughts Part I
The purpose of this post is to share my thoughts on Yesung’s title track “咲き誇る時を待つのは” of his new Japanese album. I know I have been yapping a lot about Yesung lately, but this one is really not a result of my fangirl moments. I felt like he kept asking fans about the song and MV — what they thought about…
You Can Feel the Pain, Don’t You?
I kinda like the pace like that. Not too bogged down with IG work so I have some time to blog my thoughts. I have been using Spotify a lot lately. Gone are the days of downloading mp3s. This is much more convenient. Doesn’t take up space in my laptop too. But one thing irks me. I can’t find certain…
i went on a rollercoaster ride with Misako and Nissy?!
I had a strange yet nice dream two nights ago. It involved members of AAA, Misako and Nissy in particular. So it seemed AAA was having a concert and I was getting a cab from somewhere to go to the concert venue. Lo and behold, Misako and Nissy were in the queue just before me. Since we were probably all…
i dreamt i talked to shin-chan
There’s no fancy way of putting it, but simply, I dreamt I talked to Shin-chan from AAA. Not as a fan at a fan meet, but as a friend. We were sitting in the back seat of a car, waiting for some friends or family? Not certain who we were waiting for. We were listening to some Japanese music. I…
dear AAA
Dear members of AAA, The high touch (high five) session was a pleasant surprise during the fan meeting, but it went by so fast that I couldn’t really register everything. Frankly speaking, after Chiaki, it was all a blur. I wish there was more time to interact with each member because there’s just too much to say to you guys.…
how beautiful you are
TeamAyu recently went global and is now accepting overseas memberships. Of course, I didn’t hesitate and joined. I have always dreamed of joining an official fanclub. (Well, I already did join AAA Party. I have my ways even though I don’t live in Japan.) Next on my list is Perfume’s World P.T.A. The perks for overseas members are not as…
ktv song list
I recently satisfied my ktv craving when I met up with my ex-colleagues. Joel (hotpot) is back from his studies in UK! Well, almost. Because I couldn’t find some of the songs I wanted to sing. I don’t really keep up with Chinese songs these days so I mostly sing Japanese songs at ktv. Here’s my ideal ktv (Japanese) song…
AyuReady?
For years I have been dreaming of seeing Ayumi Hamasaki live in concert and I finally got my wish fulfilled. The last time she came to Singapore to perform was way back in 2002 during the MTV Asia Awards. I could only watch her from afar (on the red carpet) then as I did not have a ticket to the awards/performance.…
