mihimaru GT

The first time I listened to a mihimaru GT song was “I Should Be So Lucky”. A remake of Kylie Minogue’s song. 1) I was curious to hear the remake. 2) I have heard people talking of mihimaru GT, but have never listened to their songs. By the way, the song was kinda cute.

The second time I come across another one of their songs was when I went blog hopping and got to Celestine’s sister’s blog. Her sister put “いつまでも響くこのMelody” on her blog. Now, I’m kinda hooked on the song.

Recently, I downloaded a new mihimaru GT pv. I really love the new song. It sounds like one of those meaningful songs.

Enjoy all 3 songs now…

pepper keibu

I have to say this coz I just can’t stand it anymore…

I just can’t tahan Koharu. Her dancing is like so forced. Maybe for certain energetic songs that kind of dancing would be ok, but not for a remake of an old song. No doubt the song is kinda lively, but hello, you are dancing to a 经典歌曲, I would expect the dancing to be more fluid. Look at Takahashi Ai’s dancing. She does it perfect.

The song I am talking about is Pink Lady’sペッパー警部“.

Somehow, テゴマス always gets nice songs. :love:

I would have drawn this out, but there’s no scanner attached to Maru-chan and the desktop is pretty wonky.

remix version

For the past few days, I’ve been listening to Ayu’s remix albums. Now, I can safely say Eurobeat is the best. At least it’s easy on the ears. After listening to 3 Ayu-ro-mix albums, it has my stamp of approval to be played in deary’s car. On the other hand, I started listening to the new Ayu-mix albums (Gold & Silver), 3 songs and off to the bin it goes. What a huge contrast ehz.

one hell of a week

*sings* ジン! ジン! ジンギスカン! Hey brother, ho brother, nice brother, go brother!

I hate it when I have to study and that Berryz工房 song is stuck in my head. It has been like that since I woke up from my nap. I was actually dreaming the song for gawd knows what reason.

The song is actually a remake of a 1970’s german song.

I’m having one hell of a week. I just handed in 3 assignments today. Let me complete my mid-term tomorrow and then I can catch my breath. Uh…I still have tons of reading to do, but at least it’ll be a little more relax.

My happiness was shortlived. Mushroom broth was on the menu for today. Had it for lunch and took a chance for dinner. Crapz. They didn’t have it for dinner. They should have mushroom broth on the menu EVERYDAY.

I hate it when I wanna be there for deary, but I can’t coz I have homework and studies to see to. 🙁

ai wa nani?

I’ve thought about this before. Even discussed it with Sis. It is Chloe’s recent post that makes me want to discuss this openly here.

CJ said I’ve changed. Hmmmm, as much as I want to deny it, I guess it is partly true. I feel I’m more 優しい。Hey, but if you piss me off, I will still bite. It’s not like I’ve become a totally different person. Of course, to deary I’m like totally totally 優しい。How should I explain it? I guess I’ve carefully built a wall all these years to protect myself. I don’t want to show anyone my fears coz I feel the need to be tough. I always had the thought that I needed to be tough coz I’m small sized and can be easily bullied. No way am I going to let myself be bullied just like that. Then, along came deary…and suddenly I wonder to myself, “gawd, am I becoming soft?” But, is it wrong to be soft?

Deary makes me want to share how I feel, my joys, sadness, fears etc. Even if it’s a very minute thing that happened today that made me feel happy, I want to tell deary. This was one of the things I replied to Chloe’s post when she wondered what love is. There’s also something else which has crossed my mind before. Sis and I always say that we are not born with good looks. Then, we discovered the wonders of make-up. Yes, I agree that make-up can make you look a lot better. At least, I think there’s colour to my face when I have foundation and powder on it. I haven’t really put on make-up since I came to USA. Well, it’s just going to school, why the hell do I need to doll myself up? Thing is, deary is looking at this un-made-up face of mine and still loves me. Well, he still talks about bikini babes and what-not, but I’m sure he’s not going to drop me and go after them. Hmmm…I will kok his head if he does. He wanna talk about some bikini babe, I can always talk about Massu lorz. Hehehe… Point is, love is looking beyond what’s on the surface. I can look like I just rolled out of bed and he’ll still love me for who I am. Ok, I bet he’ll laugh at me first, then say that he loves me. :laugh:

Love is when you’re angry, but you still worry that the person you love is upset. I don’t want to explain this one, but I’m sure deary knows what I’m talking about. Love is when you want the best for the person you love. Hell yea, I can’t count the number of times I worry that I’m affecting deary’s studies even though he says I’m not. You know, it’s just different. I can afford to be cui…well, not really and not that I want to, but deary is on scholarship and it will affect his career later on if he messes up his studies.

I guess love means different things to different people, so I can’t exactly teach Chloe what is love. I guess it’s one of those things where you’ll know when you get there.

Hmmm…but I think love does make you change. Suddenly I’m thinking about the future. A future where there’s not only me. It was a matter of time that deary would have to know about my JE fangirling. Not that I’m embarassed about it, whoa…I’m like a JE fangirl and damn proud of it. Just that I’ve been thinking about it. All that spending of money, if there’s only me to consider then of course, I don’t really have to think about it. But, I’m no longer alone. I’m considering us; I’m considering about my future husband. When I talk about future husband, I’m speaking in general. I can’t tell what will happen in the future, so I’m not making any promises of forever. Don’t get me wrong though, of course I do hope (and will work at it) for our relationship to carry on and get stronger.

Anyway, I suddenly wondered the meaning of buying all those stuff. Am I going to be doing this even when I’m 30? 40? 50? Is it just something I’ll outgrow after some time? I guess I’ll need to cut down on the JE fangirling. Don’t think deary or future husband will be too happy about me gushing 24/7 over same random guys. Hmmm, but I don’t care ar…Massu is still going to be on my room wall. I am Mrs Masuda afterall. :yay:

tears of the sun

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. 🙂

don’t dress me up

One of my favourite OLIVIA songs.

Dress Me Up (English Version)

Why are you looking at me like that?
I do not feel a very good vibe
Why are you pushing me away?
Now it’s not like I really want to stay

Oh I, I might be small
But it doesn’t mean I can’t reach the sky
I, I might be weak
But it doesn’t mean you can knock me down

Don’t Dress me Up I’m already dressed
Do you like my shoes?
Why are you turning away?
You haven’t seen nothing yet
Don’t Dress me Up I’m already dressed
Do you like my shoes?
Why are you turning away?
You haven’t seen nothing yet

Why aren’t you giving me a chance
I have a way of my own
Why are you being so damn crude
Hey look! You are a human being like me

Oh I, I might trip and fall
But it doesn’t mean I don’t know how to stand tall
I, Don’t look like her
But I am glad as hell I am, who I am

Don’t Dress me Up I’m already dressed
Do you like my shoes?
Why are you turning away?
You haven’t seen nothing yet
Don’t Dress me Up I’m already dressed
I’ve got something to say
You don’t know what I can do
And you don’t know who I am

Don’t Tear me Up into many pieces
You can’t touch my soul
You better get used to it
Cause, I’m not going no where
Don’t Dress me Up I’m already dressed
Do you like my shoes?
Why are you turning away?
You haven’t seen nothing yet

elisia says: I think she means “don’t stereotype me” when she sings “don’t dress me up”.

thanksgiving trip

In about 4 hours time, I will be going to Niagara Falls!!! *sings* So exciting! It will last for 50 years~~~

This also means that Thanksgiving break has officially started~~~ And omg, I have not worked on Rhet essay and Econs essay which is due the week after thanksgiving~~~ I’m going to dieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~~~

I couldn’t tahan. I downloaded the NewS concert to watch on the trip and of course, GET HIGH! :laugh: That totally ate up my dorm bandwidth, but who cares? I’ll be away and not be using the internet, so it really doesn’t matter.
