いつかの暮らし
Listening : ディスカバリー / FLYING KIDS
Life has been so bad these days.
But Asian Civilisation Museum Tour Guides Training on Saturday was fun wwwww
Yuan Le and I started discussing about *ahem* and drawing *ahem* on
Jingyi's paper ;)
And everyone (including me) was so nervous before the actual mock tour (?)
My heart was at my mouth lah =_=
This week I guess will not be as stressful
But next week will be a hectic one,
well, St. Nicks' tradition wwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I created an album on Facebook,
dedicated to my not-so-awesome photoshop works
The most recent one will be the modified wallpaper of Inaba-3's Hadou cover jacket.
I really love the old camera-printout effect, it looks so nostalgic,
and fits Inaba-3 very well xD

My J-POP and J-ROCK recommendation
I WONDER WHEN WILL I FINISH THIS LOR.
AND I WONDER ANYONE WILL READ LOR.
LOOK HOW BOLIAO AM I LOR.
Very tired...So just 10
Anyway not arranged in any order.
Disclamation: My command of English language is extremely horrible; it isn’t my mother tongue so please do not FLAME at me.
Well I started listening Japanese music in 2007 when I came across B’z on MTV, kind of late huh. I was immediately CAPTIVATED by their ultimate and wild energy and of course, my Japanese music obsession officially kicked off.
So here are some of my recommendations. As I am not really a big fan of JE, so I didn’t include them in my list since I know too little about them. Maybe what I recommend here may not be suitable for any Japanese music starters, but I wish if you ever read this, you will give a chance to all these tracks I’ve listed. They are all good.
1. DEEP KISS / B’zWell, I guess this is not their most famous one (now their most famous one is Ichibu to Zenbu LOL), but this is a song that really shows how fantastic this legendary J-ROCK band that debuted in 1988 with a total sales of 80 millions in Japan alone is. Tak’s guitar solo and Koshi’s signature shouts in this track are definitely amazing. It was released in 1997, a year where their hidden talents got a chance to shine free and unrestrained.
2. Sotsugyo / Yutaka OzakiOne of the most respected singers in the history (referring to Japan…)
He is signified as the spirit of the young. He has not been forgotten despite his death in 1992. I love the way that his lyrics are written, I love the way how he performs on stage. This is one of his most controversial songs in the conservative 80s since it is about rebellion(?). If you have a chance, watch any live of his, you will be touched by his ALL-OUT performance.
3. Ginga / FujifabricThe PV is kinda surreal. Okay this is not my point.
Actually they don’t really stand out in the midst of bands like Baseball bear and School food punishment since they are very similar in terms of style, all very British Rock-influenced. But this song is definitely a masterpiece. The retro melody blended with the surrealism of the lyrics and the PV, interesting combination.
4. Lillies and Remains / Moralist S.S.A J-Rock band that debuted last year with this song.
In fact I was so shocked to know that it is actually a Japanese band...
Their style is very western-influenced, so kind of innovative(?), recommend to those who want something new.
5. Akuma / Kiyoshi RyuujinAn insanely talented young singer that started his music career when he was 16 and debuted in 2009 with the single "morning sun". This song was included in the Album "WORLD" which was released in 2010/2. It is a funky one, with catchy drum beats. The chorus at the end of the track is simply outstanding. Anyway I think his unique voice really brought life to his works.
6. bukiyou na joukei / SPANK PAGEA band that I can't find any information LOL.
There's nothing about them on Wikipedia. But so far from what I know, they are formed in 2004 and debuted in 2009. Their songs often reminded me of RADWIMPS, mellow and mysterious, probably Nakategawa (vo. of SP) sounded to similar to Noda (vo. of RADWIMPS).
7. Nijyuu-yon ji no laundry / Tomoyuki Nagasawa I fell in love with him immediately after listening to this song, and I bought his latest(?) mini album "silentsiren" although this song isn't included. His lyrics are good, very poetic. Somehow I really love mellow songs, not those ballads though. Again, I CANNOT FIND HIS INFO.
8. Give Me Body Sexy Body / URGH POLICEOkay I HAVE ENOUGH OF BANDS I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING ABOUT THEM.
Hard Rock band formed in 1983 but disbanded. In my opinion (one-sided LOL), I think J-Rock is the best in the 80s - 90s. It sounded very different from what Kazuya Yoshii (b. the composer of this song) is doing now.
9. Milky way / LOUDNESSDo I need to say more?
THE GREATEST METAL BAND IN THE 80s!
THIS SONG JUST FUCKING KICK ASS.
BUT SOME BRAIN-DEAD PEOPLE JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO APPRECIATE.
10. picture / Pay Money To My PainHard Rock Punk band debuted in 2004.
One thing I like about them is that they can have songs that are really extremely negative, yet can they can have this kind of songs that really makes people happy.
Not so fast tempo, but it is still good <3

花
在高聳入雲的禁忌裡
雙唇交疊
地上落滿粼粼光斑
是你和我最美麗的斑駁傷痕
桀驁不馴的花蕾
我們爭奇鬥艷 嬌嫩欲滴
我們渴望愛 我們渴望彼此的孤獨
十指扣緊 貪婪的索取 掌上的每一絲溫度的永恆
雙手緊擁 彼此因禁臠而顫抖的身軀
在我們還稱得上是少年的青春裡
好希望
自己全身上下都能如湍湍河水乾涸
心和身體都是
好成為現在你天空上的那抹鄉愁昏黃
也好成為那讓你再度豔綻的那一抔黃土
在林蔭一隅你仍笑得燦爛

マイナスかけあわして、プラスにしてしまえ!
Listening: All right / フジファブリク
I am fucking pissed.
I don't understand why people
LOVE to think people
are all bad and all their words carry malice.
After that they start to quarrel and be angry at each other.
What's the mother fucking purpose of this?
You don't gain any advantage, you just get hatred wrapped
with words which don't intend to hurt.
Anyway, I made two new wallpapers,
if you want to use them, download them
Leave a thank you note if you can.

君は僕の光。
Listening: スーパースター / Chicago Poodle
Seriously, I have been whiling time away unwisely.
I bought a pair of shoes today,
I don't like the color but my mother insisted in no buying any shoes in black.
So racist of her huh?
Joking Joking, she said the black shoes look too masculine for me.
If I have told you, my mother bought me skirts instead of shorts
because she thinks I behave just like a typical guy. Meanie.
I haven't done a single shit for Literature holiday homework, well who cares anyway?
It is not graded. Home Economics is enough to drive me mad.
Oh good news for Yaoi-detesters,
my mother has just forbidden me in buying anymore BL manga/novel/anything related.
I am fucking pissed so don't even bother to what, 'congratulate' me.
I will not hesitate to drop bombs of vulgarities in your face.
But I still bought a few, and I will bring to school.
If I see/encounter anyone who WANTS TO TEAR THEM UP
OR GIVE ME THAT KIND OF SUCKED UP BRAT FACE,
I will give you bombs of vulgarities too, for free.
I made two wallpapers in 15 minutes, how awesome I am.
Yeah like duh, Koshi is my model again yo.
A: Hmm, you surreal-obsessed
Yeah true, I am, but this isn't surreal!
I have to say it is weird,
I tried my best to give colors to the original greyscale photo
(I find my wallpaper pretty scary...OoO)
By the way, I will translate Soul Station soon.
The phrase that I quoted is from the song NAMI,
beautiful track indeed, Koshi is beautiful too.
How I love the melancholic feel of this picture ><

遊泳術が無い、一寸悲しい
Listening: Tamayura / 稲葉浩志
現在才發現我是如此悲哀的人
哪一種層面的自由都被別人在假道德觀的起跑點從我身上剝奪走
我到底還擁有甚麼? 我存活著的價值難道就這麼一點?
人人平等個狗屁
每個人出生下來就是要在這不公平的世界苟延殘喘
人人平等也只有烏托邦國民才會去信這種無稽之談
我想叫啊, 我也想吼
但偏偏喉嚨卻被所謂的完美主義勒住了啊
願我幻化為無憂塵埃
捲走所有的悲傷與哀慟
啟程高飛遠走

僕の采 - 垃圾詩又一首
Listening : 枠 / plenty
Thought of this when I was frantically stuffing bread into my mouth.
-----------------
孤單不恐怖
我對鏡子裡的自己輕喃
淚痕的顏色尚未褪去
只見又一個微笑從臉上破繭而出
但願它不展翅高飛
永遠只停駐於我那被慟哭凌虐的臉頰上
薄雲翳艷陽
卻仍刺著我的眼
垂頭往地一望
悾熜陰影從腳處無限延伸
有光之處必有影
但真正閃耀永恆之光的地方
就是那每個人心底最深處的秘密
那通曉幸福捷徑的阡陌小徑
