Music Monday #9

Try guessing who will be featured on this week's Music Monday. Hmm.. I blog about this person a couple of days ago, not under Music Monday though.. *hint hint* so easy to guess

Yup, it's Domoto Tsuyoshi! Did u get it right? Anyway, last time, I blog about Tsuyoshi's solo project. So today's entry will be about his solo song under KinKi Kids. You must be wondering what's the differences between solo project and solo song.

Well well.. Tsuyoshi's solo project(under the name ENDLICHERI ENDLICHERI, 244ENDLIX, Tsuyoshi) have very very different sound compared to his solo songs under KinKi Kids. He may not have any power house vocals but like his same, his songs from his solo projects are tsuyoi!(strong)

His solo songs, conversely, are more toned down which is not a bad thing. I think its more acceptable by the mass audience because it's not as deep and emotional as his solo projects.

One of my all time favorite solo song by Tsuyoshi is Breath which can be found in KinKi Kids' H-album


Some songs, they grow on you as you listen to it more. But this song, it takes only 1 try for me to like it. I hope you guys will like it too.

On another note,so far, my Koichi time lapse video had 485 views! 2 youtube users even rated a 5 stars for it. Haha thank you very much for the support!

Happy Birthday Koichi! and Happy New Year to all

Happy 31st birthday Domoto Koichi!
Last year I wrote quite a long entry.. so I'll make it simple and short this year.





Koichi, happy birthday! Please drink more water.. cause your skin looks really dry when they shoot a close up of u. Use face mask, it's really good. And I'm still not convinced that ur hair is real.

And I made a time lapse video in conjunction of Koichi's birthday


A very last minute video.. so pleaseeeee excuse the lousy work. My timing was really bad and tripod wasn't exactly helpful.

and happy new year to all! May 2010 be a blasting and better year for you. =)

Music Monday #5

Hello! It's another Music Monday. Week 5's Song of the week is Secret Code by KinKi Kids.



About the song:
Released on the 27th of August 2008, this song was the theme song for the drama "33pun Tantei". If to classfy it's genre, it would be Jazz music. More specifically swing music which originates from Ragtime. Brass instruments are very distinct in this song.I don't know how to describe this but KinKi Kids' songs have one kind of sound(?) in their songs but "Secret Code" doesn't have that 'sound' and is very different. That's why it's one of my favorite song all time. And the best thing is.. Neway Karaoke has it! hahaha

About the singer:
Do I need to explain more? KinKi Kids, they're my favorite hahaha. And because of that, I'll upload a picture of them here.

Amazing Tsuyoshi

Tsuyoshi and CA4LA (pronounced Ka-Shi-La) collab-ed recently. CA4LA is a popular Tokyo-based Japanese hat brand with shops all over Japan. And today, they'll be releasing the very final hat from their Tsu4shi x CA4LA line. The shop only opens at 11am and there are actually people queuing up since 4pm! Imageshack is being uncooperative right now.. So I can't upload pics. Go check it out yourself here Tokyo Fashion.com I want one of those too!

Anyway... what did I do today? I did work on my assignment.. haha but still way behind scheduled. Dayum.. one week more till it dues. Ohh and I bake cupcakes! I have a 'KinKi Kids' and '2pm' cupcake! Gonna eat it tomorrow! heeeee

TGIF

Firstly, I would like to wish a Selamat Hari Raya to every Muslims out there! I'll be visiting some of my Malay relatives tomorrow! Can't wait for the rendang, lemang, cookies and moreeeee

Met up with Clair this morning and off we went to Neway for our karaoke session. It's very nice of Neway to give us an extra hour of karaoke. I was so happy that they actually had KinKi Kids' Secret Code. I loveeeeee that song and the PV very muchie. Heee. A little trivia about Karaoke. Do you know that Karaoke actually means empty orchestra in Japanese? Kara means empty while oke stands for orchestra (okesutora) . I guess Asian Music lectures are quite useful afterall eh?

Walk around 1utama, Clair bought tixs for Arthurs Day and baby gifts and went phone checking. We stop by Gelatissimo after that. And took this picture. Do you know by taking a picture from an UP angle, it will make the subject looks weaker/sad/helpless. Conversely, it will make the subject looks proud/arrogant if it was taken from a DOWN angle. Clair got the right angle this time! and my eyes looks really horrible.

Talking about photography, maybe I should pick it up again during the long holidays. Last time, a boy from my Japanese class said that I look like a photography person cause they way I describe and look at things seems different. It made me happy..but the truth is, I'm not that deep. Besides,I'm very very bad in taking pictures of human! I just can't get the right angle and estimate how much head room and nose room is neccesary. And one day later, If I'm really into photography, I would like to own this

don't you think it looks so gorgeous?

But for now, I want an iTouch.. or a miracle for my iPod :(

Ohh and lastly, anyone visiting the States anytime soon? Please get me a pack of dried mangoes! Thankiewww
