Fully obssessed with this song at the moment. I love love it ♥

Firstly, the lyrics.

I can't find a translation of it yet. But from what I can pick out, its about life :) Looking forward in life. For example, the chorus 越えて 越えて 越えて (koete, koete..) means 'To surpass'. A theme about hope, light, the colours of the rainbow span across tomorrow. (I'm pretty desperate to know what it means^^ ahaha.)

Secondly, the PV.

The first thing it reminded me of was the Studio Ghibli anime, Howl's Moving Castle. Just because the building could move XD But the concept of this PV is brilliant, eventhough I don't totally understand it. Anyone want to try give their interpretation? The people in the moving cafe probably represent individuals who do not know one another but happen to cross paths at that point in time and shared an experience together. I wonder what each of them saw through the hole? I'm guessing their childhood, their past or dreams or precious memories? Also maybe the enclosed gloomy cafe represented a form hiding and through the hole they saw the light to their future.

I've found two performances of Niji! Which are both superb.

This first one was performed at the recent 24hrsTV programme aired in Japan (which probably most on my f-list know was hosted by NEWS). I'm not going to lie, I've no interest in NEWS anymore. When I first started following them, I already had a dislike for Shige and Koyoma. And Tegoshi followed soon after. Shige=smug face. Tegoshi=arrogant brat. Koyoma=nice & ok when not singing or dancing. The last straw was when Yamapi changed his hairstyle during the Koi no ABO period, that was pure hideous. Only liking 2/6 members wasn't helpful. Although I think I will always keep up with NEWS just because of Ryo & Massu XD Yamapi redeems himself sometimes when he smiles from the heart, otherwise he is pretty bland most of the time. So feel free to de-friend me if you can't bear to read me dissing your favourite members :) I'm totally ok with that, because people move on.

Back to the perf, fortunately one good thing came out of NEWS hosting the show this year, hopefully someone shared this for download somewhere. This song makes me feel so good.

On Music Station yesterday (friday). Super HQ video thanks to the uploader. I really want to know a way to contact her, its been difficult to find a good raw to subtitle V6's 2 appearances on this show for Guilty. SMAP (the group of men they spoke to) is awfully weird. Why the Japanese love this idol group, I've never been able to understand. And because of that, I've always wondered what tastes these people have -_-'. YUZU look awesome. I like both their clothes. Did I say already, I love the song. Yujin so handsome!!

Do you spy V6 looking cool in tux behind? ^_^ Don't slouch!! :(

Since we are on that topic, HQ video of V6's performance of Guilty yesterday. ahaha, you can see some of the 'uh-huh' moves I was talking about. That aside, very cool performance, different from the one last week but both very 'attractive' to watch. Some of the vocals were shaky though. I think they were talking about the picture of Ken taking a shower that they showed at the beginning of the CC concerts.

The only clip I downloaded from the 24hrTV show was Ryo's Darts Trip. So cuuuute I tell you. I love how he is so straightforward all the time.

I want to keep this post unlocked, so it'll just be me rambling on about two PVs and a little special something after that.



Yuzu's new PV for their to-be-released single titled いちご Ichigo (Strawberry). Truthfully, I didn't really like the song after hearing the demo. But after listening to this good quality, full version, its not too bad. So far this year, they've released a ballad, a folky tune and this time one of their hyper songs. Maybe I'll like this more after watching a live performance. The PV..!! Its weird. ahaha, but very artistic. And I constantly want to burst out laughing. Very very cute.. basically they are ants wanting to taste the sweetness of strawberries. I particularly like their costumes, the additional pair of arms that move along with their original arms result in them looking extremely comical. Like all their previous upbeat songs, its a catchy tune and the PV is hilarious.



Coming Century's new PV for their upcoming new single Hello, Goodbye. Its definitely more classy than Spirit. What pants is Ken wearing?? O.o The song is good I guess, I mean even if its good I rarely listen to JE songs anyway. keke.. The tune is addictive, but it could be a little faster, and the middle stance becomes a bit too repetitive. The PV is surprisingly less idolish. And only 3 people on screen rather than the usual 6 is a little refreshing. Sometimes 6 people are a little too much to concentrate on. I like the concept of the masked people, the black classy couches and their simple attire. I guess they need to add the rabbit with horns to spice that table up a bit, otherwise I don't know what are they going to do with that empty space. Favourite part: probably the clapping parts, I like the sound of hands clapping. hehe..

The guys themselves. Go, unfortunately is aging and shrinking. And I'm not fond of guys wearing (1)inner black sleeves underneath a T-shirt (2)hats ;D & (3) pink. bwahaha.. The first and only thing I constantly noticed about Okada was what happened to his arms?? O.o Its getting way too huge and looks weirdly tight with those sleeves on. Ok, I know that is just my taste XD Ken needs to get his old hairstyle back!!! This is okk.. there have been worst, but I miss his mushroom hair ;D

人要有三平心态：平和、平稳、平衡。对自己要从容，对朋友要宽容，对很多事情要包容，这样才能活的比较开心。
People should maintain 3 types of mind-sets: mild, steady, balanced. Be flexible with oneself, be forgiving to friends, be more understanding in situations. This way we can live a bit happier!

这个世界本来就是痛苦的，没有例外的
This world is originally full of suffering. There are no exceptions.

有些机遇和相逢，到头来，却只是为了彼此遗忘。世界上有很多事情，就是这样。
Many chanced encounters and meetings, are destined to end in oblivion from the beginning. Many events in this world, are like that.

The quotes are irrelevant to this post. haha. These are Chinese quotes I collected over the years, was itching to translate something. I know, thats random.

The following are just embedded videos of music from 南彝组合 (Nan Yi Zhu He), a group of 3 men of the Yi Nationality, one of the various minority groups in China and South East Asia. Read more about the Yi people on wikipedia. This saves me from searching the videos every time I want to have a listen to them XD

I saw a few people at jpop_uploads looking for this PV. Finally got around ripping and sharing my discs.

Beautiful song with an even more beautiful PV. I bought the overseas version, so with it came the official Chinese translations of the entire album. Wonder if anyone is interested to have it too? Do check out the lyrics to Wonderful World, it is pretty inspirational. The making features Joe Hisaishi, the mastermind behind Studio Ghibli music.
