when i first saw the Video (while i was at the office lounge) i was jumping up with joy... i never expected to see the video so soon... it's embarrassing but i'm glad there was just a friend and another batchmate there at the time but still, she was like 0_0? at my reaction...

but the first time i watched it, i was kinda disappointed... i wouldn't even go into details as to why... but bottom line is, it wasn't what i was expecting... it's like watching Virgin Blue again for the first time, minus the colorful outfits... i like their clothes, the dance looked awkward at first but it is ok, and it sounds refreshing... but again, it's not what i was expecting...

but i was laughing at how they went with kids instead of "real sexy girls their age"...

and LOLZ... hips action there! kljhsafhasdkjhlksahfdklhads...

and the guitars kinda reminded me of a Sentai theme song...

but it was really a good thing to see at the end of the day (my day) after all the hussle and bussle at work...

and i think i'm liking it the more i see it... as i knew i eventually will... ♥

ok, i will shut up now and think of a way to get the HQ version of the PV somewhere... ^^ ♥

this song has been looping today... i really love it and although you can barely hear KANAME's voice here, it was a nice collab...

since i couldn't find its lyrics anywhere and i couldn't sleep, i decided to do the romaji for it...

this is all by ear, and WWWJDIC is down so i couldn't verify some of the words... i will probably re-do this when the official lyrics are out...

AFTER LOVE ~First Boyfriend~ by Crystal Kay (feat. KANAME from CHEMISTRY)

Hiroki mentioned about recording his solo for their single... he said he's already performed the song during one of Lead's live... so, i guess that means it's Sakura (for Leaders Party 4)... wow, my wish has been granted yet again... i will get to hear a full version (and clear copy) of it soon.... XDD ♥

and the PV for Teppei's new single (Kimi Dake) is now out... (*≧▽≦)... he looks so mature... i mean, he already looked mature in the shooting of the single cover, but the PV makes it more so... he looks good there... ^__^ ♥... the scene where he was sitting on a chair in an empty room kinda reminded me of SPLAY's Hitomi (but that could probably be because i miss them ~_~)... i think my heart just stopped when he tried to rip pulled his polo to reveal his chest while being drenched in the so-fake rain... ^;^

Koike Teppei's Kimi Dake PV

finally....

Lead's newest single is ギラギラRomantic (Dazzling Romantic), to be released on August 5... there will be 4 versions and for each version, each member will have their own coupling song and photobook...

For more info, go to Lead @ Vision Factory

i never actually realized it, but it's been a year since they last released a single... this will be their 16th single.... can't wait to hear samples.... ^___^

_{something random... the title of the single gives me this funny way of remembering an inside joke in my training class.... "Romantic, the hell?!"}

"Time waits for no one"



i couldn't sleep, so might as well post about it...

i just finished watching this movie... from what i thought would be just a normal anime, it made me cry... who would've thought? *shrugs*

anyways, the story starts out fairly simple -- girl finds out she can "time leap"-- and eventually goes to a point where it would make you want to guess what would be the consequence of all the "time leaps" (coz you know something is about to happen... you can just feel it ^_~) then you will find out there was really no big reason why she can time leap, but that would get you thinking it would've been better if she couldn't time leap at all... well, minus the part when she was able to know she could time leap of course...

story-wise, i liked it... it was not as simple and boring as i thought it would be given the fact that it was really just a simple story (time leap? nothing new right?)... i like the script, the direction of the story, the voice acting and how things were put into place for each scene to bring out the message of the story... it's not about being able to control time or re-live a certain time of your life (though that would be nice... 10 hours of karaoke, anyone?), nor about re-doing (or undoing) something, but really, just living the time... there's just somethings that even time cannot change...

on other things, i liked the animation as well... i used to get icky about other types of animation, but for this movie, i actually liked how smoothly it flows into the story... there's not much in it that pop-out that will make it amazing, but it's easy to the eyes... it fits well with the story, i guess

"Time is priceless, yet it costs us nothing. You can do anything you want with it but own it. You can spend it, but can't keep it. And once you've lost it, there's no getting it back. It's just... gone."

BLOOD, The Last Vampire (aka LAST BLOOD --live action movie) sucked....

(1) they made the japanese (Koyuki) speak english and non-japanese people (Jun Ji-Hyun) speak japanese...

(2) there's the CG--looks really fake...

(3) the friggin, annoying cuts on the scenes... could just be as shown here, but geez i hated it...

(4) they were just trying to hard to make the fight scenes look good...
