還是非常非常喜歡[雨]
非常非常非常非常非常的.喜歡.

終於賣掉了!

即將跟住了2X年的房子說bye bye了!
跟買主談妥簽好約後的那一剎那﹐突然感覺好像新生活即將開始似的~
雖然只是搬個地方住罷了!
可能是因為我這2X年來都沒有搬過家吧(外國租房不算)!
我的全部童年回憶都在這間屋子裡呢~
還記得最早最早的回憶﹐是臨睡前望著天花板時﹐幻想上面的模糊花紋是天鵝的圖案﹐每晚都看著這只天鵝自由自在的游來游去﹐才進入夢鄉的!
(好怪的回憶!!)
剛才就去看一下那天花板﹐果然還是可以形成那只天鵝的圖案! (證明腦筋還是一樣的怪XD)
其實已經很久沒有望上去看那片天花板了.
每次都是要離開或失去一樣東西的時候﹐才會懂得去珍惜的吧.

真丟臉! >_<

溫泉會終於回復我了...不過...是跟我說...我的email亂碼了!!!
真丟臉啊~!!!!! *雙手遮臉*
再寫了一次寄過去給他們﹐希望這次沒問題...
他們一定覺得我很白痴!!!
啊~~*索性用紙袋蓋整個頭*

不過今天接到了一個好消息..網上訂的春tour goods已經寄出去了! (終於)
這次郵費特別的貴..有點被嚇到..vpost有提高價錢嗎? 還是goods特別重?! 不會吧..只訂幾樣而已..(錢包都已經在抗議了~)
那...算一算﹐下個星期才寄到我這裡吧...這次指定了goods寄到離公司不遠的郵政局...對了﹐說到工作﹐今天又接了一個消息(今天那麼多消息!)﹐說我部門的唯一另外一位同事九月會被調到別部門. 當時我腦子裡的第一反應就是:"那麼我準備申請的11月假期會被批准嗎!??" 不會因為部門只省下我就不批准我的leave吧!! 我可是非拿不可的啊!!! 不可以這樣耍我..........

mid-week bluez~

reading and humming the lyrics of [雨] together with the CD while it was playing just now, and.. i suddenly DID have this nostalgic feeling running over me!! so what tatsurou mentioned was indeed true.. you gotta sing the song to understand that!!! *stunned*

on a separate note... waiting for 溫泉會's reply to my order... *twiddles fingers & frowns*

溫泉會!

這個星期的session band活動好多!
今晚輪到溫泉會了!
真的會只圍著毛巾演出嗎?! :D!!

這是個蠻有趣的網站~audioscrobbler.com
sign on 的人每旦上網時﹐如果同時也在用電腦播放歌曲的話﹐這些歌的資料就會傳到網站去.
就是說﹐這樣不但可以查出現在最人氣的歌曲﹐也可以讓你查查看﹐聽你喜愛的band的人也聽哪些其他歌手的歌!
輸入'mucc'的話﹐結果不出所料!
(他們還會把'mucc' 改成日語﹐不錯嘛!)
(而且..原來最人氣的是[絕望]啊..)
不過輸入'raphael'的時候就得到一些沒聽過的名字..大概是歐洲(西班牙?)的某音樂人吧!

激樂! 激樂!

Posting in English again only because I'm lacking time and I tend to type faster in English (though not necessarily making more sense i know!!)

Tonight's dedicated to Gekigakutai! YEAH! *pumps fist into air* Not forgetting tonight was also their 2nd live act this season, this time in Osaka. Coming up next: Nagoya two nights later! (darn! now why didn't i get myself posted to World Expo this wk!!)


激樂さんs (don't be fooled by their melancholic pose!)

Anyway, on to their mini-album. One word: FUN! Seriously (<--oxymoronic!), it's fun, fun, FUN! Hard not to smile when you're listening to it :D Had to get used to Kazuei (Kyousuke)'s raw voice but then again that's partly what lends a spontaneous edge to the music. The other parts are the instruments of course! Including Miya's...oops, i mean Yaguchi's guitars! YEAH!! (you can see i'm on a sugar high tonite - blame it on the after-dinner desserts) I love hearing Yaguchi's playing, arrangement and melodies cos he sounds so spontaneous here. I love even more the wonderful combination that is Neguchi Masaei XD XD XD Favourite song in the album is one such composition: [無苦]!

No wait. Favourite song is a tie between that and the bonus track, where each freaking member takes turns singing a small portion of one of their main band's songs. Yaguchi sang [溺れる魚], but hey it was too short! Less than a line, yea!~ XD What's best about the bonus track was the sense that you have this bunch of people who are good friends coming together to jam and play and all they want to do is share their joy with you. :)

Recent thoughts

Mucc first, of course! :)

[雨のオーケストラ]
The single [雨のオーケストラ] has been playing in my home AV, portable AV and.. head!.. for the whole week now ;)

The single didn't do too badly at the charts.. debuting at No. 14, then 15 (hope i remembered the second day ranking correctly..) and 20 for 3 days in a row.. it also made it to the weekly rating @ No. 20. Some muccers also pointed us towards the CDTV charts where it's just come in at No. 20 on the weekly ranking.

Omedetou~ :) :D

[雨のオーケストラ] is one helluva good song. I find it interesting that quite a number of the English-speaking listeners (well at least the more vocal ones) don't seem to like this song, saying it's a rip off The Back Horn's [Kizuna Song]. This comparison, to me, is totally meaningless! Really, I see nothing in common between the two songs except for the fact that they both have strings in them. The atmosphere, melody, lyrics, music arrangement.. they're totally different!!

I think a song's successful when, after listening to it for some time, you can't imagine the song being done any differently. Because everything about it just fits into itself so well. [雨] is exactly that. It's like.. it's exactly what I think mucc would sound like with strings.

[雨] will also be the single reason for me to consider popping into Japan in Dec for Mucc's tour finale. *crosses fingers*

The other track in this single that I love v much is [死生、命あり]. It's reminiscent of Miya's style of late (meaning like in Kuchiki where it can be hard-hitting yet very melodious), which I like a lot. Tatsurou also seems to shine with such a style.. this song's a very good showcase of his vocals.

Now the last track..[語り部の詩]..to be frank when I first heard it, it threw me off. Quite a bit, actually. Not something I thought would come from Mucc. It's not a bad song, and it's not that I will skip it when it comes on in the player, but it's just not particularly memorable. & I'm not sure why, but when I saw that it was Yukke's melody, I was quite surprised too. Well, the good thing is, after understanding the lyrics, it's been better with a few listens. Still, I hope this is not the direction that Mucc is headed.

On the whole, I prefer this single compared to the previous one. & that speaks wonders for it considering I kinda liked the previous single too! (can you trust a muccer to be objective? you must, k! most muccers i know are.. or at least seem to be! or am i just not being objective about muccers? XD XD)

Oops...wanted to write more about other stuff, but once again my bed beckons..-_-; tomorrow'll be Part II then!

不管怎麼想都還是好遠

10月啊! 好遠呢~~~~~
還有足足四個月(不﹐比四個月還長!)

現在又有兩種矛盾心情...一方面很想在250人的場地看大號ムック﹐另一方面又很想看[雨]!

做muccer好不容易(笑)

不過說真的﹐越聽就越愛[雨]. (好感人!)
[死]也非常喜歡.
最近也一直在聽激樂さんs的[東京]. 改天一定要寫一寫對於這張專輯的感想﹐因為是一張聽得很過癮的專輯! bagus~!

現在睏了, 眼睛..快.張.不.開.了...
おやすみ~

countdown begins

因為無聊﹐所以整理了一下秋tour場地的access maps... 也加了場地可以容納的人數 (不過有些網上找不到).

他們的行程很恐怖!! 這種行程是普通人可以承受的嗎?? 有些場地真的很小. 找到広島Namiki Junction容量的時候還有點不敢相信--真有那麼小嗎!? Zepp Nagoya之所以有那麼奇怪的數字﹐是因為包括了二樓的座席. 至於国立代々木第二体育館嘛..我就不大清楚了...其實還搞不清楚這個場地stage是怎麼擺的.

秋のツアー!!!!!!

啊~! 秋のツアー行程出了!!!
啊!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(yuj, 今晚會不會上MSN啊!)
達新icon也出現了!!! 一看到就忍不住大笑起來^O^ (icon表情好像有點委屈的樣子﹐但又超可愛!達總是可以抓到重點﹐不得不佩服他!)

CD今天收到了. 沒想到隨CD送了張海報! 而且是雙面海報! 起初看到捲起來的海報的'花紋'時﹐還在懷疑到底是屬於Bleach soundtrack的還是mucc的. 不過一看到[雨]封面就立刻曉得是mucc的了! 只是..團員的臉都看不大清楚(太暗了!), 雙面海報嘛..也不捨得用吧!

我現在是興奮到了極點! 好想跟其他muccer談天說地﹐分享這份喜悅 ^___^
~不過其實心裡知道此時此刻世界各地的muccer都一樣的在這一天'慶祝'﹐這份快樂也就自然而然的增加了好幾倍了! ^^

【ムックの日】!

DVD拿不到啦﹐不過69天還是會莫明的感到高興! ★
啊~~尤其看到No. 2999!!! \(^.^)/
也希望明天達和雅的網頁更新!
...明天很有可能會控制不了自己﹐在街上跟陌生人握手祝他們"Happy Mucc Day"... 嘻嘻...

心癢癢

不可以給我看到新PV啦!!!
每次看了新PV, 就想馬上衝過去看live的... T-T
這次PV又拍得一樣的漂亮~
(即使每次也只不過是拍他們幾個在某地方演奏﹐我也會覺得拍得很美的啦!! XD XD)

想聽的新歌怎麼全都一起出現! 還來不及仔細聽好[東京]和[実錄 少年犯罪奇科学] (<--真的被收回去嗎??), 就來了[刑事ヒロンボ](<--不過我開不了file!! >_<)和[雨のオーケストラ]! kinki的也快出了:)

對了﹐現在在仔細考慮..八月能否去德國. 不過老實說﹐看到wacken的資料會有點擔心如果一個人去的話是否應付得來. 再想想吧..
