The Beach Boys 19th of june in Laval!

Just before going to U.S. I will go to a show in Laval. The stars are 'The Beach boys'. They are old but it's a legentary group. I'm really happy that my first show in my life are them. The only song I remember is 'Kocomo'. It was a song from the movie 'Cocktail'. It's the only thing I remember from this movie. I will sure drink some cocktail there!! Let's party!!!

Richard Marx new single 'When you love me'!!!

Do you remember that guy??? If you do... you must be around 30 years old or more. He was a really popular soft pop singer in the 80's. He always continue making album since then. I forgot about him long ago but, last week, while I was looking for the best music videos of every year between 1983 and 1997, I found my favorite song ever. It was 'Hazard' by Richard Marx. I had some of his music on tapes and CD but I lost them long ago. I found a complete 13 album set of him on the net and got it. Even after some years... I can listen to 'Hazard' again and again just gazing away. He's voice makes me sleepy. If this guy was not a singer, he could have been a good mentalist or hypnotizer.

I tryed to work today listening to some of he's tune but I ended up fixing stuff around my computer completely gone in my head hahaha!! I work more efficiently with Metallica or Skid Row. I listen many kinda of music. Richard is my (extreme) soft side, witch is now really small compares to my dark side MOUAHAHAHA!

He's new single is called 'When you love me'. He always kept the same style over the years. That's maybe why people forgot about him. To continue in the industry you have to renew yourself. It's a big lost cause he's talent is always as good as it was before. Some stay stuck in the 80's. In he's case, in my opinion, he did he's best in the 90's. Well, if you are too ashamed of yourself going to he's site to listen the song, I will post a link of a youtube version. Just stop by if you feel like it.

Always as good as ever. Just one thing about him is weird. He looks bitter or frustrated. For sure he don't look happy. Maybe he should gave up and becomes a banker. Who knows!

This is the CM he did for this new Album (Stories to tell) :  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o79WhK42LVg

He looks weird. It's maybe my imagination!

山下智久 'Supergood! Superbad!'

New Yamashita Tomohisa album ' Supergood, Superbad'. In fact there is some supergood songs and some superbad hahaha!!! Some old songs also to fill the holes. I was really angry that ' Seishun Amigo' was on this album. How can you use a song already attach to a succesfull drama and single out in 2006. I wonder how Kamenashi liked the idear. After all, he was the one to make 'Nobuta wo Produce' a succes. It's a bit frustrating. Demo.... If we trow out the half of the new songs witch are all dance music.... not many left. However........ Yamashita made fabulous english prononciation effort. He is farrrrrrrrr better than before. It sounds much more natural.

I have no fear for the future of Yamashita in the music industry. Maybe more japanese song on the next album would be great. Immitation of Justin Timberlake is somehow disturbing after more than 1 song. That cheap dance music is off now in Canada. Yamashita is old now to sing that kinda of music. He looks weird. Or maybe it's just me.



I started to listen to this album only today... 1 week after. I had to kick my butt to do it. I hate having to listen entire album. Usually I download only the song I need. Since it's Yamapi ... He is sooooo begging in his nikki for his fan to listen to this album that... well.. I can't refuse hahahaha! Anyway... I think he made a good job and grew up a lot in this album.

Ganbatte ne Yamap!

Yamashita Tomohisa new single 'Hadakanbo'

Since Yamapi never been afraid to show his body, even when he was under 100lbs (wahhhhhh nightmare), the title of this song is natural for him. Skinny.... flat.... with ugly fake blonde girl.... He likes to show almost all body parts. Only one spot never been showed up. But if he continue like that.... He might do porno at the end of his career. Anyway........This song have a strange style. I don't really like that kinda of instrument. I prefer guitars, piano and drums. First shot... I stopped the song after 30 sec. My roommate came to tell me to check the video. Well... oki let's check. POUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Oki it's yamapi so pink and bling bling is a law but.... It looks a lot like Take style. I hate Take so.... It's another song from yamapi that I will make everything in my power to forget. One in a million was far better. In my opinion, you can add a song like that on an album (so people can just skip it) but you can't do a single with that. It was really risky. I will be curious to see the rating in Oricon for this song. If it hit #1 I willbuy a pink pen.

Someday!

When lunching with friends at the job we were talking about songs titled 'Someday'. There is soooooo many song with this title. Both of them I remember best from my youth was.

Glass Tiger - Someday



Aldo Nova - Someday





There is many others but those are the cheese one I liked the most!!!

Strange and cute duo at JECD 2010

First the wierd one.... Uichi and Kamenashi....



Only one thing to say....NANI SORE!!!

Than a cute pink who looks like member of village peoples on that pics..



The last one the best!!



'Shuji & Akira' always as cute as they was in 2006. Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Nagase powerless in JECD 2010.

Like everyone know Nagase Tomoya is always the clown in countdown. Always full of energy and power. This years was a surprise. He looked like someone kikked him in the butt just before the show. The day after I read the news about her ex, who had been with him from 2001 to 2007 is now married to a foreigner that she know for just 5 month. They just got married on paper cause the ceremony is not done yet. Even if it's been years I'm sure Nagase got pissed. As she reveiled that to her blog on december 31, I think the bad mood of Nagase probably comes from this news. He did only lips synch at the countdown.

I made a little manga about his though on that day. It's maybe wrong but It was my impression.







































I strongly dought that Nagase Tomoya would think about those things but since he did Mukodonno...(in pink jerse, big glasses and yellow head band) everything is possible! Let's be romantic!!!

Johnny's Countdown 2010-2011 Worldwide

Now let's give the world who wait for Countdown all years long the path to heaven!!!!

(Thanks for those files whoever you are!)

No Johnny's Entertainment Countdown for 2010-2011

Mouahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kanashiiiiiii!!!! Up untill now no news about it. Usually they announce who will host it in december. I wait for that all years long and this year... nothing. It's really sad. I follow countdown since 2006 but found all of them on the net since the first one.



It was the chance to remember all those group I don't really see often. Old song who was also good like this song from V6 - Music for the people lovin'.



It was always a good years start!!! This year I will have my husband with me... It's better in a way :P.

I guess maybe it's because KAT-TUN lost Akanishi Jin. They can't put KAT-TUN on stage with Akanishi waiting in the background. He quit the group but not the company. He was maybe afraid to be treated badly by KAT-TUN fans if he had shows up in a countdown. But.... he could have stayed at home that's all.... anyway...

Tokio new single 'NaNaNa'!!

Nagase Tomoya, the only man in JE! More than 6 feet tall, more than 150lbs, body hair and facial hair (partially). For sure he have a strange voice not always tuned and a strong accent that makes him sound like Mulder in X-Files (mumbling 90% of any words), but his presence is enough to make the worst be forgiven hahaha!

This pics is taken from a recent performance at 'Best Artist 2010'. He surprise me by singing without any trouble. Normaly it takes him some times to adjust his bizzare voice when live on stage but he was perfect. Tokio did their new song 'NaNaNa'. This song is good. I will check this single for sure.

I like him mostly because he is crazy and funny. Any other JE looks like kids when close to him. He impose respect. My best dorama from him is 'My boss My hero!'



(The pudding crazy run through school bashing everyone in his way!!! Unforgettable!)

Mr. Children - Sense Album!

This is the new Mr. Children album. It's a really good one.
If you wish to listen to it you can grab following this link. I found it on a livejournal talking about the album.
It's a good one. 80% of the album are really nice song.

K@T-TUN new single sales.

I listen to this new single with  attention. I wanted to see what they can do. Well I think 'Change ur world' is a good song. As good as Keep the faith was but... when a single is related to a drama it gives more chances. People who are watching this drama will want the album. K@T-TUN members are not doing any drama for now and maybe not even in winter. This long absence will makes people forget about them. So they will forget to buy the album. Japan is bombarded of entertainment. A new star is born everyday. to keep up with the beat you have to move you ass end be seen.  

This is the first week sales of K@T-TUN singles.

It's going down slowly. I wonder if it's gonna be worst in 2 years. Let's cross finger for them to be popular again.

AKB48?? What is that?

Ohhhhhhhhhh well, I just got the news on 'Tokyograph site that those 16 girls are selling really good in the japan industrie. Since I'm a woman of a certain age I don't usually listen to that kinda group. I already feel childish and pervert watching KAT-TUN and NEWS at my age. However, I wanted to know why they sold 1 million of their last single called 'beginner'.

After listening the video... well... It's like a bunch of too young erotic dancer who can also sing. I understand why they are so popular. It's free imagination pervertion for pedophile. I'm sure many old man have a picture of them in the bathroom. Wahhhhhhhhhhh horrible just to think about it. They are so many that you can't really know witch one is singing. The song is quite simple. Not a hit but not that bad.

In Québec that kinda of stuff is impossible. It's use of underage girls for their body to make money. It's not good for a girl reputation to wear that kinda of stuff and move like that at this age. Here young girls doing that are concidered as 'slot'. Not only by the old people but at school by young men. Like easy to sleep with and stupid.

In Japan it's normal... well... as long as they make money they don't really care to do anything. Since they are young and wish to be a star, they can ask them to do everything they wants. Idoling system is really bringing artist to total submission. At least sometimes they make enough money to get out of this and live well. That is the good part.

I'm sure they think... bahhh it's oki in 1 month people will forget about it. Yeahhhhhhhhh right! It's not always true. Look the case of Akanishi Jin, lately he was in a concert in US and got a stuffed turtle to kiss on the stage. The 'Akame' effect won't disolve that easily. For the people who don't know about 'Akame' I will explain.

In Japan, there is a popular pervert way to imagine young idol or artist doing romantic or erotic stuff together called 'Yaoi'. Because Kamenashi Kazuya and Akanishi Jin was always togheter even in drama, after 'Gokusen' people started to imagine stuff between those 2. A - KAME : Akanishi + KAMEnashi. It's a big and popular one. On the internet there is millions of Akame history, videos and manga. I did one myself. I was so curious to see how many people was Akame fans. I got 275000 clic on my youtube page for my Akame dorama 'Unforgiven'. I was really surprise. Seriously, I did it for fun only but... some people watched my dorama dreaming about this strory to be true. Sadly I had to move the videos to another youtube account before they close it for copyrights. But the new works good. I still have people submitting and commenting. Even after 1 years.

People don't always forget... I won't!

K@T-TUN

This friday, the new single of K@T-TUN (the 'A' in KAT-TUN was Akanishi who dumped the group) will be in stores. In this song, on youtube since 1 month, there is a really high note sing by Kamenashi close to the end. I will wait for a Music Station version of that with pop-corn!!! I can't believe they still ask them to do those impossible notes live. I'm pretty sure that it will be a disaster again. This song is good but really fast. Like 'Lips' song. Since the danse for this song will sure be fast and demanding maybe they will use lips sync. I cross my finger for them.

JE condems NEWS slowly to death.

What the hell is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just listen to the 'Fighting man' single. Ohhhhhhhhh my god!

First : Gamushara Cha Cha Cha ?????????? What the hell is that!!! How old they are now to sing that kinda childish song.

Second : Fighting man.....sorry but my country is french AND english so....don't be wet - get a grip....How can you chose a incorrect english sentence like that and put it in the main song chorus of the single. The whole song play on my nerves. It's a crap.

Third : Wake up - Winter Moon even  Ai wa Simple na Curry Rice....What the hell....those are THE good songs on this album.

Why the hell doing PV and publicity for Fighting man when it's sure not the best song on this single. Marketing wise it's stupid.
I'm so sad. NEWS is the first group I knew from JE. They had a great future ahead. What happened??? Shinjirarenai!

In my opinion Wake up! IS the main song on this single. I don't know who take care of NEWS carrer but I want to butt their ass right NOW!

I like Arashi a lot but everyone knows that they have only 2 great voice in that group (Ohno and Nino). But even so.... all song that comes out are always great. NEWS have Yamashita - Keiichiro - Tegoshi and Massu but...... all they can do is that!!!! A group gets better with time usually. Arashi got better, KAT-TUN got better. NEWS have the potential but after 2006 - Hoshi wo Mezashite....what happened. They only got crap song to sing. On the last album I kept 3 song good enough to listen. I'm pissed off!!!

WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING WITH NEWS!!!!

Kamenashi Kazuya funny!!

My favorite actor, who is not always the singer he wish to be, also had problems at Music Station.



For an over-exposure reason, Kamenashi is not doing that much this year. He did a dorama last winter but nothing else this year. I wonder if he's gonna show some new work for 2011. At least I will see him at the JE countdown. I will be in Japan this christmas and new years so... I wonder how I will be able to watch the countdown. I don't think it's the kinda of things my husband's parents are watching. I may go hide in he's room to watch it!!!!

[flashvideo file=http://darkash.no-ip.biz/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/ms-kame-se-trompe-amigo_NEW.flv /]

The real sentence is : Narihibiita keitai denwa iya na yokan ga mune wo yogiru (sawagu???? hahaha)!! Kamenashi is well know for his bad memories. I think there is too much in this little head!!!

[flashvideo file=http://darkash.no-ip.biz/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/kame-terrible-notes2_NEW.flv /]

Wahhhhhhhhh This note is really hard to make live. They made numerous prestation of this song live and 90% was bad. I am sure 'Kame' was asking himself just before starting the note... ''why the hell they decided on those high notes... and why me! ... Would they realize it if I just go hide behind Koki?!!!! héhéhé!

NEWS - Fighting man

NEWS finaly made another single. The song is called 'Fighting man'. But the only thing you will remember of it is 'Don't be wet, Get a grip' from the chorus. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh god! I wonder who decide to put that non-sense english in those songs. I also wonder why Arashi get all the good songs and NEWS and KAT-TUN get all the crap those days. News is the big looser. They really keep all the boring song in reserve just for them. This one is the best they had so far but still.... cheap. Did they do something bad?



Music Station is the worst place for a JE. I wonder why they still accept to do it. Yamashita is really cursed there. He got cought doing lip synch of the song 'Daite Senorita' in the past.

みなしごハッチ - Like we said in french 'Hutchi'

Muzukashiiiiii!!


I love this song so much. I remember when I was very young singing the opening thinking it was chinese or spanish :). The story of this little bee was always terrible and sad. Each episode an insect was dying. I remember one story about a kind of insect that dies when give birth and is eated by the babies. When your very young it's kinda rough stuff. But in a way, It was reallity. Insect have short life and kinda horrible sometimes. I was sad each episode but I watched them all. Mostly to ear the opening song. The creator of this animation lost his mother when he was really young. I think it traumatized him a bit. He also did 'Demetan'. It's a frog playing banjo. Same stuff than huchi but less powerfull. This one was boring. It was too childish. Even when I was a child I was difficult on cheese stuff. It's like watching Maya the bee just after Huchi. It's same as having a Ferrari than driving a Ford Focus.


I know, I know.... it's different from the original you used to know. It's live. This woman have a strange voice you think?. Many old japanese woman have that voice. It's japanese style technique (ENKA). I'm used to it. But if you want a clean version just start the next video.


That's the way I remember it too. But I like both. It's my favorite song ever. Because it's the first. It's like a first bike or car. It's sometimes cheese but you Hold on to it.

Uverworld song Qualia

Uverworld new single ''Qualia''. Great new song. I think it was better for them not doing punk music anymore. Punk and Underground is good for thinking that your different and better than pop music group but you stay poor and unrecognize. It's cheese to do jpop but it pays well. With he's voice, Takuya diserve to be listening by more people. Sooooooooooooo powerfull voice in a soooooooooo little body! He's also kinda cute. It also help for being popular :P.



Ohhhhh you want to listen to the song.... let's not make you wait!

Yui - Please Stay With Me

I'm watching Matsumoto's dorama Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku. The theme song is made by Arashi and the insert song by YUI. This is a wonderfull song. YUI's voice is special. I don't usually listen woman's music but for a voice like that I will make an exeption. I like pure voice. Voice that you can tell is not only for commcercial purpose.



I discovered her with Bleach animation. She was doing the 5th season song 'Life'. Her new song 'Please stay with me' is wonderfull. Please listen to it if you never did before.
