HY - 366 days

i'm fine with it. it was a love that seems to be fine like this
even though i knew you couldn't return, i want to be connected to you
it was the first time I felt this way
as time goes by we can still meet occasionally
because verbal promises were natural
i'm fine with it as well

this wish of mine which won't come true anyway
that you would fall in love with me again
such a transient wish of mine
today i want to meet you again

i'm fine with it. it was a love that seems to be fine like this
before I knew, you even refused to meet me

when i'm alone i start thinking
at that time, should i had rather forgotten(about you)?
but these tears are the answer, aren`t they?
i can't lie to my heart

it's almost scary that i can remember your smell, your action and everything
“Weird, isn`t it?”, please say so and laugh
even though we're separated, it`s nothing but you

i never thought that love would be so painful, that love would be so sad
i realized that i was serious about you

it's almost scary that i can remember your smell, your action and everything
“weird, isn`t it?”, please say so and laugh
even though we're separated, it`s nothing but you

you are someone inside me that i can't forget about, someone who offered me everything
even if you can never return anymore
right now it's only you, just you
nothing but you

I'm in love with this Japanese drama and its OST. It suits the drama perfectly.

The show is all about 'Fate'. Akai Ito means 'the red string of fate'. It is an East Asian belief that there is a red string tied around the pinky/ankle of a man and a woman and is connected to each other. The two are destined to be together as soul mates. 
The story is a mobile novel which is popular in Japan.

It’s said that after a person is born, they will meet approximately 30,000 people before they die. Of those people, the number of people you’ll meet and work with is 3,000 and of those you’ll intimately know is 300. Among all these encounters, it’s said God has arranged a special one for you. One made from before you were born. However, that bond of fate is invisible to everyone and yet that unseen person in your destiny is connected to you by a red string in your pink(little finger). That’s why..That’s why I fell in love with you the moment we met…

-Atsushi Nishino (Mizobata Junpei)

You can’t put your true feelings into words. I can’t express my important feelings. If the two of us could exchange the feelings in our hearts, would we see… would we see that destiny was on our side?” -Akai Ito ep.5

Sweet, right?

Sorry for showing my 'otaku' side. But I support the Japanese music, drama, anime, manga and many more. Plus the culture is so rich.

I think that fate is common theme in YA books today. Would you agree?

Yamashita Shoon & Leon

On August 19th, former Ya-Ya-yah member Yamashita Shoon and former Johnny’s Jr. Yamashita Leon held an event titled, “SHOON commu’presents NO LIMIT in Puroland“, at Sanrio Puroland. This marked the revival of the brothers’ activities after leaving their last agency.

As Shoon got on stage, he shouted, “I’m back!“, and expressed his happiness with, “It is an amazing thing that we met.” Leon also claimed, “I’ve gained a lot from the support of people around me. I’m happy I get to meet everyone today.” They sang their original song, “NO LIMIT“, before Shoon stated, “I want to be active with songs that will unite us with our fans. I also want to make a CD debut.”

At the end of the event, Shoon and Leon presented their ‘guts pose’ and said, “We want to become versatile, so we can work with all genres. We also want to act.”

The Yamamoto brothers are scheduled to attend the “DANCE STAGE PROJECT” event, which will also be held at Sanrio Puroland. Additionally, they will make an regular appearance as presenters on TVK’s new variety show, “~Teen Age Garden~Kime! Shitsuji“, starting October 14th at 9:00 PM.

(Now,,,that's the best Birthday gift ever! I really love Shoon. I love his voice and personality. I love him with my Ichiban, Okamoto Keito, Now just let him go back to Johnny's or go to another agency. He will surely be successful!)

That Whole J-Pop in the Philippines Issue « The Life of a Storm Chaser

That Whole J-Pop in the Philippines Issue

Disclaimer: This blog entry does not mean to offend any parties. If you do not agree with my opinion and do not want to leave any constructive opinion, then I recommend that you don’t comment.

A couple of days ago, a Facebook friend of mine shared a link to Universal Records Philippines. I was surprised that URF was making a poll, asking if we want them to officially release J-Pop albums in the Philippines. I’m surprised because this is the first time that record agencies in the Philippines have made such an announcement about J-Pop.

Probably a few hours later, URF released a statement, saying that “We are still in the process of education [and] preparation [for J-Pop]…”

A couple of days later, the news reached aramatheydidnt, one of my favorite sources for Japanese entertainment news. It seems that a lot are against mainstreaming J-Pop in the Philippines. There’s even a Facebook fan page against it.

I, for one, am okay with it. Not to mainstreaming J-Pop in the Philippines, but at least to have the music readily accessible.

I buy J-Pop CDs straight from Japan, with the help of CDJapan and YesAsia. However, I can’t buy them as often as I want to. Aside from the expensive price, there’s the shipping fee to worry about. Whenever my favorite artist would release an album, it’s either I would nearly starve myself to save up for the CD or I would just give up buying altogether because I have other expenses to worry about. Back then I was still relying on my parents’ allowance (and we aren’t a rich family, mind you), and I had school expenses to worry about. As much as it pains me, I would end up downloading the album online.

If J-Pop becomes available in the Philippines, then I wouldn’t have to worry about paying for the shipping fee. I would help my favorite artist by buying their work instead of ripping it online, for free. At least those sales would help the artist long-term.

I understand the fears of the other fans—some are worried about the quality of the J-Pop releases here, others are worried about the poser fans and the jejemons. Here are my two cents.

I can’t really say anything about the quality of J-Pop if ever they do release CDs here in the Philippines. I think we should still support our favorite J-Pop artists nonetheless. Well, if you really want a better quality, then you could still choose to buy the Japanese releases, if you’re willing to pay the shipping fee. For fans who couldn’t afford it, I guess the Filipino release is just fine.

As for those poser fans and those jejemons? I think that’s an unavoidable part of a fad in the Philippines. I’ve seen the Meteor Garden and the F4 fad, and I’ve seen a bit of the K-Pop wave here. There will always those poser fans and jejemons that will pop up in any fandom. Be grateful that you’re a genuine fan, at least. No need to spread the hate or hate on people for that.

If you see that a J-Pop song is being copied and localized? Exercise your right as a fan. If you think that a J-Pop song’s copyright is being violated? Report it to the record company or, if you can, the agency itself. You’ve seen how Johnny’s takes down those YouTube videos faster than the speed of light. I bet you that Johnny’s and other J-Pop music agencies will take quick action.

For the whole J-Pop vs. K-Pop war that will ensue when J-Pop gets released? I don’t really get the wars, really. J-Pop and K-Pop are two totally different things. K-Pop did not copy J-Pop and vice-versa. One genre is not better than the other. Let’s just let the other fans appreciate what they want to listen to and stop hating on what the other fans want to listen to. It’s as simple as that.

(My Tumblr and Twitter friend said that the Philippines is lucky. At least J-Pop gets that much exposure, unlike her hometown in Australia.)

I’m not saying that J-Pop will become a wave in the Philippines. My point is, I want the music to become accessible just so that I can give small contribution can help my favorite artists, to help them earn and live on.

Besides, if we get lucky, we might even see our favorite J-Pop artists on familiar shores. Now that will be a sight to see.

Mr. Children – Song Of Journey

Lyrics: Kazutoshi Sakurai

Music: Kazutoshi Sakurai

Don’t be scared.

Even if you don’t turn on some random lights

The time will come when your lonely night will see the dawn

I felt a far and distant landscape the day I fell

When I get up and look closely, surprisingly it feels like it’s within reach

The song you loved is echoing through the city

That’s the nonchalant gift that chance has given me

Ah, song of journey

Okay, where should I go? We’ll meet again somewhere, ah

At any rate, “goodbye”

When I don’t know who I am, I’ll tell you all about it

But if you were listening already then you don’t have to reply…

Losing something important and gaining it back

That’s the cycle it seems, it feels different every time

I said, “I can’t laugh or cry any more tears”

But I need someone to talk to after all

Now I can say I love you without any hesitation

Let’s make each day just as honest

No matter where we are

Ah, I celebrate the start and sing the last song

I’m waving my hand right now, ah

Goodbye to sadness

When your tired feet have stopped walking, look back a little

Because I’m back where you can’t reach, pushing you forward

Ah, song of journey

Okay, where should I go? We’ll meet again somewhere, ah

At any rate, “goodbye”

When I’m about to forget who I am

Remember me vaguely

See? You’re inside my body, smiling

I’m pushing you forward

But you don’t have to reply
