Album: Hamasaki Ayumi - Secret

This album leaked. Well we're the ones who's getting the benefit from it so I ain't complaining. So far I've listened twice, I have one word to describe the latest album from our dear diva Ayu - Noisy. It's getting more and more rockish since she first sang rock songs in her I am... album. Overall the album was quite nice, since I've forgotten the songs in her previous album, (miss)understood, can't really compare both of it. The thing that will make me 'avoid' this album is lack of better singles. I hated ALL of her 2006 singles lol (esp Beautiful Fighters, no idea what she's 'yelling' at the background). Jewel is not one of it actually (I like this song though). To sum it all:

New songs: Good (Current fave - Momentum)
Singles: Sucked (ruined the flow of the album, have to forward 3 times at once lol)
Instrumental: Previous ones better. Still good I suppose.

Wonder whether I should buy it or not......didn't buy her last album too (dissapointed with it).

Saw this entry at Kenny Sia's blog, damn hilarious. It suppose to be a joke but some of the comments by the readers can be really funny but freaking ignorant at the same time.

The moral of the story is: Don't read newspapers, you'll ended up being dissapointed with your own country more. Or you can treat it as the jokes section, bet these are much more funnier than Garfield.

Another Jpop rant: Downloaded this PV the other day, Chatmonchy's Shangrila. Don't ask me how they got their name.



There aren't many girl bands around these days, Japan ones I only know MARIA and Nakanomori Band (which I kinda like but they are more commercialised, pretty girls mah). As for western......hmm....I should watch more MTV lol. More into alternative rock bands hee. I really liked the arrangements of this song, started with drums, then bass, finally electric guitar to 'spice' things up. It's an upbeat song which is nice to start off a day =D Looking forward for their next releases (The lead singer so tiny xD ).

PS: I'm doing Kekkon Dekinai Otoko marathon now, really loved it so far, one of few dramas that can made me watch few episodes non-stop. If you wonder why you're still single, watch this.
