I see NewS has reached their second phase of their singing career. The phase where they get more grown up/serious songs. I’ve watched the pv for “太陽のナミダ”. Nothing much to say except that the setting looks good. At least, it doesn’t look like some cheap budget pv. I know this is weird of me not to gush over Massu, but he was all serious in the pv. I think I like smily, bounce around Massu better. The moody feeling seems to suit Shige and Ryo though. Oh, and the dance is a little weird. Maybe I need to watch a the pv a few more times to find it ok. *shrugs*

The ending was kinda hilarious though. P giving a grin, saying thank you in kansai-ben, and doing his trademark cups-over-eyes thing. This is the third time he’s doing that. :laugh:

Alright…just watch the pv.

Talking about P, did you see the recent pictures of P in Anan magazine? OMG…what is the 老头 thinking? I don’t care if he allowed Matsujun to do something similar before. Matsujun is like senpai rank already.  Fans are like much older. But P? OMG…P was butt naked with an equally naked ang moh chick. Fans are so going to clobber the ang moh girl to death if they knew who she is.

Oh yea, I was busy downloading songs and stuff last night. I think The Brilliant Green’s new song “Ash Like Snow” sounds great! The song is used for the anime “Mobile Suit Gundam 00“. There’s something about Tommy – she looks so cute although she’s past 30. She has this childlike feeling around her.

Ok, last video… ºC-ute’s “LALALA 幸せの歌”. I don’t really fancy the new song. I think Tsunku should just stop adding his stupid voice in the songs. Totally spoilt the song. It’s also quite obvious who’s the favourite girl this time – Maimi. Maimai has grown! She’s no longer ちび of the group. 🙂

New PV for Berryz工房’s “付き合っているのに片思い”。Judging from the PV set, I expected the song to be a nice slow one. Nope, it wasn’t. Doesn’t quite match and the song isn’t really that impressive. Tsunku is obviously being very biased. How come Risako gets so much screen time? I would have preferred seeing Miyabi more. Then, there are some odd scenes of them floating and looking so much like ghosts.

I’m high! Why? NewS lahz…what else would make me high? :laugh: The Russ-K CM… The sexy Osaka man (Ryo) looks the coolest in the CM. Isn’t Per pleased to know that? :laugh:

I missed Aho Maru’s “yatta pon~~~” so I searched for the clips and found them! :laugh:

Oh…and Aho Maru as an obachan. It’s absolutely hilarious. :laugh:

After getting “weeeek!” stuck in my head for awhile, I went to watch Hinoi Team’s “Night Of Fire” PV to learn a few steps for the J-Net fashion show. Let’s just say I’m TERRIBLE at dance (even para para) and now the stupid song is stuck in my head. Omg…I’m just going to dream the song tonight. How the hell am I going to learn this?!

When I feel a little down, all I need is JE and Massu to make me happy.

NewS – weeeek! PV is out!!! Wooooooooooooo~~~

The PV isn’t a whole lot interesting but the song is rather happy and infectious. Gives you the drive to carry on even if you’re having the Monday blues.

Ryo cut his hair and it looks a bit like P’s hairstyle. Still not used to seeing Tego with dyed hair.

It was in ‘VERY BEAUTY’ that we saw a grown up Berryz工房. °C-ute has finally reached that stage too. In their PV for their new song, ‘都会っ子 純情’, their dressing style and overall appearance does not scream kiddy anymore. Lined eyes and curled hair make them look a whole lot grown up.

I never really liked Kanna for some reason. She looked kinda weird especially when she smiled, but in this PV, she looks really grown up and nice. Maybe coz she isn’t smiling. It’s like how Per said 上戸 彩 looked weird when she smiled, but in ‘Azumi‘, she looked so much cooler coz she didn’t smile.

I like how they gave Saki a grown up look by curling her hair. Even Mai Mai looks more grown up although she’s still the baby of the group. I think she was given this look ever since she collaborated with Koharu for Kira☆Pika.

I’m trying to figure out whether the PV is shot in Yokohama as in the last scene…

I kinda dislike the monologue bits at the beginning and ending of the song by Maimi. I also realised that Airi doesn’t look cute anymore. She’s very much like Risako. Cute when young but 不耐看 when grown up.

関ジャニ∞ has a new PV too. For their song, ‘イッツ マイ ソウル’。Johnny always has the worst outfits for the groups. K8 looked so much like go-go-boys in the PV with shorts/hot pants.

Tacchon got a fair bit of solo singing but…he still looks like a se bei bei. It’s all Johnny’s fault…

I think I can understand a bit of the lyrics without searching for the translation. I’ve been listening to the song over and over again. At first, I just enjoyed the tune – emotional. Then, I tried listening to the words. Got most of it but didn’t think much coz I always listen to it before I drift off to sleep.

Now, I listen to the song again. The words hit me. I could just cry coz the lyrics are pure and emotional.

The song is OLIVIA inspi’ REIRA (TRAPNEST) – Shadow Of Love.

Oh ya, I read Chloe’s blog and realised I have yet to thank Yui for helping me get Tacchon’s uchiwa and NewS photo album. I spent most of the time squealing over the photo album last night. The old man is wise for choosing what I call the “wedding pic” for the photo album coz everyone is so 帅。Sankkyu! Chu! :heart:

Sis and I were discussing over the uchiwas we collect. We’re puzzled over why I never collect aho Maru’s uchiwas. I thought about it. Answer: I like his aho moments which will never be captured in the uchiwa.
