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...
