....What....did they do to the Ponyo theme.... T_T
From the original:

To this, for the english version (heheh, I'll be waiting to film SB's reaction when he hears this XD):


Sure on the one hand they're trying to make the film more accessible to the Western audiences, but RAPPING?! WTFF. Kills the entire vibe of the film man. Can't even do the friggin dance to it anymore lol (not that I err...ever did... >_>). I don't like to slag music, because I usually sound like an idiot. But I was just scarred into a mixed state of shock, disgust and horror when a friend linked me to it last night. Had to wash my ears out with some good rock afterwards. To quote someone from the 4chan forums...

"SOMEONE PLEASE RIP MY EARS OFF THESE TEARS OF BLOOD WON'T STOP."

Oh, but the movie in its original version is wonderfully brilliant. :)

Whoa! Its been a little quieter around here, but this is something definitely newsworthy. I was just checking my daily feed of music on intlwota this morning, and man. Totally awesome news. And yeah, yeah, I know i'm just regurgitating what's already been said. But for those of you checking in here, SUGIZO (ex-Luna Sea guitarist) is now 'officially' a member of X JAPAN. Hahah, cool as. Here's the link for more info at tokyograph - "X Japan: Heath performing, SUGIZO joining". Hmm..I wonder if they've got a release another new album planned in the mix of things. Hmm. All we need now is for Luna Sea to reform, and then we'll have an excuse to party like its '99 again :D

Also, Sugizo's official myspace has a message from him too :)



Lol. earlier I accidentally put on my msn screenname "ZOMG. SUGIZO ADDED AS OFFICIAL LUNA SEA MEMBER!"
Bad mixup. XD

Man, dont'cha love being young and remembering all those carefree days trying to be a ninja in your back yard when you were little.

Watching stuff like this, its kinda cool to think that its all the more a possibility that people are turning into a reality. Hahah, not that i'd try it at home. Last time that happened, I ended up scraping all the skin off my nose. Had to walk round school for about a week looking like Rudolf the red nose reindeer Q.Q;
Friggin' brilliant. Just to clarify, I was about 10 when this happened. All the same, I still never get tired of watching surreal stuff like this. So. Damn. Cool.

Yeah, I admit it. I watch too much Naruto in my free time lol.

What was the point of this post? I dunno. Been procrastinating studying, so decided i'd just share what I was watching on youtube lol. I neglect -beats- too much. Got three tests coming up in these upcoming weeks, so even though i've been on a break, that's the reason for my lack of posts. Hah. When all else fails, blame it on the study. Anyways, enough of my mindless rambling for now.

This first one's a compilation of Free Running/ Parkour vids that someone made and posted on youtube. Pretty intense. There's some sick stuff on there, that's for sure.



This second vid is a pretty mean one from the Fifa Street 3 videogame. Featuring Team Ryouko? Totally badass. Hahah, i'd actually love to try some of this if I didn't fear lightning striking twice and accidentally doing something along the lines of permenantly spraining my groin.

Damn. SB beat me to it again. NEW DAI SINGLE AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER! Infinity1. After 4 years. Their revival single. 2 new songs. 17/06/2009.

cdjapan.com has more details.

Another thing. Check their official site. Looks pretty interesting - Do! Creative!! - A chance for DAI to sing your original songs?!!

Anyways, this seems kinda fitting to commemorate the moment. Let's see what they bring out when the time comes eh :)

yesterday and today - Do as Infinity

Ok guys, well, its that fateful time of year again - the night before my first midsem test of the year. Guess what lol.
Comlaw again. Stage 2 now.

As I learned the hard way last year, listening to L's theme song all night does not necessarily mean his intelligence will rub off. XD

So its time to hit the books, one last time for the night.

Yeah. Wish me luck, eh! :)

Just wanted to leave a short couple of words, although i'm pathetically late on the scene...

Happy Birthday, International Wota!

Its a great resource that i've found countless new artists to listen to through. The people over there running it are a real cool dedicated team that keep the j-music blogosphere pumping. THE best. So its a real honor for a small fry like me to be affiliated with them.

Thanks to everybody there, you all do a great job. Keep it up eh! :)

Hahah, and hopefully next time this year i'll have a real cake.

P.S. Sorry about the cheapness of the pic. My ms paint skills are... pretty poor lol. Will needa take some lessons from wu. XD
