Look at this cute Hello Kitty theme Is it a Hello Kitty brand or is it for breast cancer


Mai Kuraki - Never Gonna Give You Up

This is an ok song. I'm not too fond of the male vocals by Michael Affrick. He looks like a gimp. The lyrics are kinda cheesy and the rap is just LAME.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!

I got this from Michael Affrick's website:

"The tunesmith has also penned songs for Japanese recording superstar, Mai Kuraki helping her sell over twelve- million albums."

How many songs did he write for her? I thought it was just this one. But his voice does sound familiar.. does he do most of the male background vocals for her songs?

He also sang the theme song to Doug's First Movie XD

Asami Abe - Our Song

I've heard people call her Alien-Nacchi - and she certainly sounds like an alien in this song. There's this one horrible shrieking part that still haunts me from the first time I heard it. This was her second song [thanks for correcting me, Icey!] and I think it came out around the time when TATU were at the height of their popularity - you can hear the strong resemblance to their techno-pop. I'm not a fan of this song and she can't sing very well - but she's gotten better since.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Aya Matsuura - Your Song

I don't like Ayaya's hair here. It's a really bad cut and kinda looks like a wig to me. I haven't actually bothered to watch this video all the way through before uploading it today - it's kinda boring. Who is the guy playing the guitar? Does he really need to be in the video? ¬__¬

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Aya Matsuura - Ki ga Tsukeba Anata

Yay! Ayaya's new song! <3 It's from the tea commercials - and so is the pv. The pv is made up of all the commercials and a few extra Ayaya bits. It's a really nice soft-rock song - a welcome change to all the ballads she's had lately.


OMG! Look at the indirect kiss she has when she drinks from that guy's bottle!! *cough* yeah.. that's something a fanboy might say...

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Hayami Kishimoto - Aisuru kimi ga soba ni ireba

This is one of my favourite songs from her. She doesn't seem to have many fans - or they're just not very vocal about it (me included). She's one of GIZA's only dancing pop idols. The video is filmed in an american style mega-mart where you buy everything in bulk. Look at the two black guys trying to look cool XD Hayami takes the worst fake bite out of a lemon I've ever seen and then puts it in her cart XD She's also wearing the best top that says "BLACK WOMEN UNITED" on it XD

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Morning Musume - The Manpower!!! ~Another Edition

Kaori's last song before she graduated :( It's different. It's not really much of a song. It's kinda like chanting with cool costumes. Risa takes a convincing bite out of a lemon - but you see there was already a chunk cut out of it XD

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


MiniMoni - Minimoni Jankenpyon!

Their debut song. Kago looks cute here.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!

Minimoni - Lucky Cha Cha Cha

Mini Moni's last song! It was one of their best too. It was for their drama, The Bremen Town Musicians. I like the final scene in the video when they're eating the giant shaved ice thing and it looks like Mika's about to feed Nono a spoonful - Kago sees this and copies her by feeding Takahashi - but then Mika eats it herself XD Evil <3 YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Viyuden - Hitorijime (subtitled)

I subtitled this myself! >:D< I tried out some fading effects and stuff. The translation is based off Hana and Mink's translation and some help from Waylorn. I tried to make it sound better in English

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


EE Jump - Hello! Atarashii Watashi

I'm always surprised at how much Yuki Goto looks like his sister Maki Goto.. it's kinda disturbing

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Tsubaki - Sea of Love

I completely adore the english version and this japanese version is good too. I wonder how it's been selling. It was used in the past couple of episodes of Densha Otoko but it was really faint in the background. Hopefully they'll play it louder in the final episode and then sales will pick up. Tsubaki is pretty but she's got some dodgy teeth...

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!

Come on, come on every naughty boys!

2005-09-15 15:35:18 | Weblog
er... interesting lyrics <_< Attack All Around or AAA (Triple A) are a new AVEX co-ed group consisting of 5 guys and 3 girls. One of the interesting things about them is that they all do acrobatics - even the girls. That's not something you see everyday! Their debut song is for the Initial D movie and it's a mixture of pop, rap, dance and trance. The PV and performance are very cool - even if the english rap is questionably lame lol They're all around 19 years old which makes me feel old even though I'm only 22 ;-;

They're releasing 1 single every month till January @_@ That's five singles..

AAA - BLOOD on FIRE


YOU'RE TOO LATE!!

Pop Jam 9th September 2005 performance

They managed to score 72.2% on the Break Radar

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Younha - Touch

There are quite a few movies out now that are based on manga and anime. There's Nana and Initial D and now Touch. This song isn't the theme song but it is featured in the Touch movie. It's ok but I think her vocals are bit too soft or aren't intense enough. It's also weird seeing her out from behind her piano and dancing <_<

EE Jump - Ikina Rhythm!

EE Jump consisted of Sonim and Yuki Goto - Maki Goto's younger brother. They disbanded because Yuki got caught at a bar or something while he was underage and Sonim tried to carve out a solo career with limited success :'(

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Goto Maki - Kimi to Itsumademo

This is one of my favourite Maki songs - it's a cover though and it was original sung by a guy I think.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Goto Maki - Sotsugyou Shashin performance

Another of my favourites - and it's another cover. I can't remember what show this was but check out the cool blind guy on the drums!

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Abe Natsumi - Koi no Hana (subtitled)

I subtitled this myself! I think I'm getting better. Hana made the romaji and translations <3 YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Ayumi Hamasaki - is this love

Ayu makes things explode around her - like fruit and fish tanks.. and little boys and cars! Which one is false? ;P

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Emi Hinouchi - Painful

I like this song a lot. She sings it a capella and then a violin and cello come in. Emi Hinouchi was discovered by M-flo I think. Where is she now? ;-;

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Miyu Nagase - Just 4 your Luv

This video was filmed in New York - Brooklyn perhaps. I think I remember Jet saying it was really close to where he lived - if only he knew she was going to be there! Isn't she due another single by now?! >O It's nearly been a year! I haven't been keeping track.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Zone - Good Days

The first Zone song I ever heard and it's my favourite.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Utada Hikaru - Be My Last

Her new song is weird and whiny. The pv is weird too - Utada kinda haunts this couple and you see the couple shagging - but then Utada gets run over so that makes up for it.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!

Baby I wonder why...

2005-09-09 04:20:58 | Weblog
...you gotta love Bob Sapp!

Bob Sapp - Sapp Time!

You don't have to love Bob Sapp - it's just one of the things he says in the song. Bob is ok - he's kinda funny but he's mostly annoying. I think I read in one of those Japanese teacher editorials that Bob isn't really doing black people any favours in Japan - perpetuating the stereotype of the big and dumb black man. I kinda agree =/
Download 26.34mb

At least he's not as bad as Bobby Ologun <_< Did anyone else see him on Hey!x3 with Ayumi Hamasaki? He find him so annoying. He was also on an episode of VVV6 with his sister i think. She wasn't much better <_<


Ayumi Hamasaki - Greatful Days

I like this song and Ayu shows a bit of her fun and wacky side - even if it's almost subliminal lol

YOU'RE TOO LATE


Ayumi Hamasaki - Game

This pv is scary ;-; I hate the man on stilts with the spider-hands ;-; It's the stuff of nightmares.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Ayumi Hamasaki - Humming 7/4

I really like Ayu's rock songs. This one starts off rock but then gets a bit too cute in the chorus.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Ayumi Hamasaki - RAINBOW

Two Ayus :0 Probably someone's worse nightmare. Doesn't the middle picture look like Konno? O_O

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Mai Kuraki - Simply Wonderful

This is one of my favourite Mai Kuraki songs <3 It brings back so many memories of when I first got into Jpop.

The Mini Moni movie marked the end of Mari's leadership and spawned two of the best songs they've ever had (in my opinion).

MiniMoni - genki jirushi no oomori song

This is one of my favourite Mini Moni songs - it's just pure, concentrated MiniMoni.. even though it has Takahashi and the H!P BABIES in it <_<

MiniMoni - okashi tsukutte okkasi

This is another good song <3

The other day I entered my living room and my parents were watching a Kinki Kids music video on the Chinese Channel - they didn't change the channel like they usually do O_O I think it was Velvet no YAMI...

I remember they complained when Ayu's STEP you and V6's UTAO UTAO came on and switched the channel. I wonder why they don't show more chinese music on the chinese channel...

If only they showed a Momusu video or two ;-;

kinki kids - Kokoro ni Yume wo Kimi ni wa Ai wo

This starts off with Koichi getting held down by some goons while the guy with the glasses gets ready to fist him - all the way up to the wrist apparently! But then Tsuyoshi comes to the rescue and they drive off like Thelma and Louise. Ok, I'm lying... OR AM I?

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Kanjani8 - Sukiyanen, Osaka...

Blah..

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


m-flo loves LISA - TRIPOD BABY

I think a lot of people have been wishing they got back together. The song is ok.

As you can see, Lisa may have seen my comments about her big nose and has gone and had it completely removed! :0 She's also adopted a pet mushroom...

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!

I wish all M-flo songs got pvs ;-;

Minna no Terebi August 17th 2005
M-flo loves Akiko Wada-HEY!



This is the performance from a few weeks ago. Don't Verbal and Taku look short compared to Akiko? XD In the promo pictures they must have been standing on boxes or Akiko was standing in a ditch XD. Taku sounds a bit gay XD

I was wondering why Verbal said that Akiko was his Japanese sempai and it turns out Verbal is also a Japanese-born Korean like Akiko - I never would have guessed

Maybe M-flo should love Sonim next - that poor girl needs some loving

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


Minna no Terebi September 7th 2005
Aya Matsuura - You're My Only Shinin' Star


Ayaya sings this lovely song - originally sung by Miho Nakayama.

This is why I love Minna no Terebi - Ayaya gets to sing all these different songs and she's accompanied by a live band. I love the clarinet at the end of the song <3 Does anyone else thinks the announcer sounds like Geof? He kinda looks like him too XD It's Asian-Geof I swear! XD

YOU'RE TOO LATE!!


As some of you may already know I've been learning how to sub videos. Here are my first completed videos <3 If anyone wants the soft-subs then give me a bell :)

I'm so glad to have recieved so many comments <3 Some people DO care! It turns out the invoice I recieved a week ago was for the July-August billing period - not August-September O_O I'm over my quota AGAIN by £10 this period. It doesn't get reset until September 10th ;-;

So these downloads are brought to you again by Suika's webspace <3

Hi baby! Don't you know me?

2005-09-05 06:37:35 | Weblog
Another update so soon :0 Yep, I got bored ;)

The theme song to Final Fantasy XII is called Kiss Me Good-bye by Angela Aki. I haven't heard it yet ;( If anyone has it please send it to me <3 Here's her official site. Al tells me she's half Japanese and half Italian-American which means her english should be pretty good. She sang the english version at a Square-Enix music event in July.

I was kinda disappointed when Koda Kumi didn't sing the english versions of her songs for the North American and European releases of FFX ;( I guess her english isn't good enough.


Koda Kumi - Real Emotion

This was the theme song to Final Fantasy X.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


REIRA starring YUNA ITO - ENDLESS STORY


Yuna Ito is a new Sony artist. She plays Reira, the lead singer of Trapnest and Nana's rival in the Nana movie. She was born in Hawaii. There's already a fansite XD It's got her personal information and lyrics and stuff <3 The shots of her singing on stage makes her look a bit like one of the Pink Ladies - i think it's the fringe (bangs) - it makes her look like that one who's face looks too tight XD

It's a really beautiful rock-ish ballad. I like it more than Mika Nakashima's Glamourous Sky. The c/w song Journey is very good too. The single comes out on Wednesday.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


I've got a soft spot for songs that have the word "story" in them XD Here's every version of Morning Musume's last single :D

Morning Musume -Iroppoi Jirettai


YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Morning Musume - Iroppoi Jirettai (Dance Shot Ver)


YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Morning Musume - Iroppoi Jirettai (subtitled)


YOU'RE TOO LATE!

Here are the 2 new versions that's only available throught the fan-club

Morning Musume - Iroppoi Jirettai ~Close-up Edition~


YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Morning Musume - Iroppoi Jirettai ~Multi-dance Edition~


YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Viyuden have had really good songs so far. I like the crazy head-spinning move at around 3 minutes 18 seconds XD

Viyuden - Hitorijime



YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Viyuden - Hitorijime (Dance Shot Version)


YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Berryz Koubou - 21ji Made no Cinderella


Berryz have had too many good songs <_< YOU'RE TOO LATE!



Classic Musume Medley


The opera singers sing the same medley of songs that the H!P girls sang earlier but in opera style! Mr Moonlight is almost unrecognisable ;(

I like it. I've never been a fan of Happy Summer Wedding or Koi no Dance Site but the opera versions are strangely good.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


w-inds - Super Lover ~I need you tonight~

This is one of the few w-inds songs I like. It's funny and they remind me of the Bee Gees or something. I don't know what Ayaya sees in Keita.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!



One of my favourite songs at the moment is Sea Of Love by Tsubaki. It's a song from the Densha Otoko drama. I think the lyrics really reflect what the drama is about <3 YOU'RE TOO LATE!


All these files are from Suika's webspace so give your thanks to her :D

Baby I miss you when I think of you

2005-09-03 05:30:59 | Weblog
I've been having a bit of trouble with my webspace ;0

apparently more people download from me than I thought and my bandwidth went over budget ;-; i got an invoice the other day for £25 meaning I'm 5gb of traffic over my 20gb monthly allowance..

but fortunately Suika has very kindly offered me some of her webspace for videos - maybe her webhost can determine where all the downloaders come from because my webhost gives me crappy stats ;(

if the statistics are correct, there were over 800 downloads last month... but only 5 comments <_< i wouldn't mind some more feedback - like requests or opinions about the songs.. anything really! i don't mind if it's in japanese or russian - i can always babelfish it :D i'm just uploading videos randomly - some new, some old - so if anyone has anything specific in mind then feel free to ask and I'll do my best to fulfill it :)


In other news, I bought a PSP today! ^-^ So I can finally watch these videos on the PSP ^0^


As I mentioned before, today's videos are courtesy of Suika! <3

Aya Matsuura - Sukapa CMs (1-37)

These are all 37 of Ayaya's Sukapa commercials in one big file. I dare you to watch all 9 minutes in one go! I've already done it! It'll drive you completely insane! She sings the same jingle but changes the name part. It's cute how she pulls a different face at the end of each one.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Viyuden, Kei, Yuko, Mari - MM Orchestra Medley

They all look like they're going to a funeral - apart from Yuko who looks really nice and elegant. Tsunku is acting like a crazy man conducting the orchestra. They sing a medley of Love Machine, Happy Summer Wedding, Mr Moonlight, Koi no Dance Site and Renai Revolution 21.

If anyone wants the clip of the opera singers (or the ballet dancer with the giant bulge x_x) then just drop a comment :D

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Melon Kinenbi - Chance of Love

This is my favourite MKB song <3 Everything about it is great. This was when Masae's hair was at it's best. YOU'RE TOO LATE!


EXILE - EXIT

It's the theme song to the drama Jyoou no Kyoushitsu. I haven't watched it and I don't know what it's about - but it's got Hara Sachie in it and I liked her in the live action You're Under Arrest. I might watch it if somebody convinces me to.. I mean.. when I watch a new drama that I like it's like I have to make a reference to it in all my posts until everybody else is watching it too ^o^ I wish others were as passionate about dramas LOL

er.. the song is ok. I like EXILE but I still don't know their names. I call them the skinny one and the strangely buff one (and the 4 dead-weights). I think the skinny one had a solo song but I can't find the pv for it - I might have deleted it because I didn't like it and I can't even remember what it sounded like =/

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


mihimaru GT - negai

This is another group that I like but don't know the names of. I think the singer really looks like Mari in this PV - but she kinda looks like a cross between Mari and Ai Otsuka.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


ZYX - IkuZYX! FLY HIGH (Dance Version)

I think ZYX was another brainchild of Mari's - but unlike MiniMoni, lightning didn't strike twice and it was a total failure. They only had 2 singles. This was the first one - and what they're wearing is just SO WRONG! It's horrible. Their second song had a cleaned up, cute image which was much better. What was Mari thinking? Was she thinking of graduating from Morning Musume to lead a bunch of even younger kids around? Half of them are in Berryz now. I hope C-ute get a single.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


BENNIE K - Sky

I'm still a bit iffy about their names ^^; Their latest song is a slight change from their last couple of happy, uplifting songs. It's not happy but it's not sad.. how do you describe it? It's nice.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Mika Nakashima - Yuki no Hana

I like this song. She looks pretty good in the pv but I think this was when she started her weird hunching and swaying dance move...

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Sayuri Anzu - 100 MAGIC WORDS

The song sounds ok. Her voice has been "enhanced". I don't know if she has any other songs but I doubt it. I'm guessing she's one of those model-turned-singers that can't sing.

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Ayumi Hamasaki - HEAVEN

I like this song a lot. Sabaku said everything I wanted to say about it at the bbs. It's a one-shot video. She's surrounded by gaijin ghosts that are boarding the train to heaven. It's a really nice song.

It's the theme song for the a new ninja movie starring Yukie Nakama called Shinobi - it's based on the manga and anime called Basilisk i think. From what I remember of the anime, it's about two rival ninja villages that are on the verge of killing each other but there's been an unsteady truce for years. It looks like there might finally be peace when two of them are to be married. But then a warlord wanted to choose a successor between his two sons and he has the two clans fight each other to the death to decide which son is to succeed him. Ten ninjas from each clan are chosen to kill each other and that includes the two lovebirds. It's pretty tragic ;-;

All the ninjas have superhuman abilities. I think Yukie's character has disrupting eyes that stop other ninja's abilities - you can see them in the trailer.

I loved Yukie in Gokusen and the Trick dramas (yeah, I've watched all 3 series and the movies ^o^ ) She looks really pretty in the trailers.

I wonder if they used a train in the music video because trains are in right now? You know.. because of Densha Otoko? XD The Basilisk anime was done by GONZO XD I can link it all back to Densha Otoko!! XD

YOU'RE TOO LATE!


Ai Otsuka - Planetarium

I don't really like her new song ;(

YOU'RE TOO LATE!
