I guess I like 5!

I just realised I've been a fan of Westlife and Arashi around the same amount of years!!
Both started of as 5 member groups, I guess I like it that way XD

Anyway I've been listening to Westlife all day while working and I'm still sad over the fact that they have split up!!

I'm in love with their latest song BEAUTIFUL WORLD, also.. Arashi's tour this year is also called BEAUTIFUL WORLD, kinda ironic don't you think? or maybe it's just me... (^^;;)

Cutest performance on FNS

Of all the perfomances on yesterday's FNS, I think this was the cutest one...

熏と友樹 X AKB48 - たまにムックーマルマルモリモリ

div>

Kuraki Mai + Nishino Kana + BoA

As said last night FNS 2011 was broadcast and I was surprised to see this mix
It was a fun surprise though.. and thought I'd share this performance with you


Kuraki Mai's Stand up
Nishino Kana's Kimitte
BoA's Merikuri

2 side of a story

I saw a photo in the paper this morning for the memorial of the Pearl Harbor happening.
Underneath it said: Because of what the Japanese did on Pearl Harbor it got the US dragged into the World War 2.
I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry? How can someone write that after so long time. Do they even know what the WW2 was?

After reading a lot of history, Japan and the US had their problems at the time and sure this was one major fact that lead to the start of the greater war in the Pacific area. However it wasn't like the US was all good...and Japan just attacked out of nowhere. As sadly many people in Western countries believes.

Anyway the history itself is sad, I'm not to say whose fault it all was.. however to write such statement in a daily newspaper would I say is INcorrect!

The never ending story!

I hate the public transportation here in Stockholm...
There is no word for it anymore, the excuses piles up, it's a never ending story!

This morning the bus (buses) were late... then the commuter trains. But I guess when it comes to the trains I shouldn't be surprised, there is ALWAYS something wrong.
Today among all the excuses we had, short of train cars and power cut. However on the opposite site all trains went passed on time!!!

Then 30 min later a train finally came, a extra train however it only went two stations before it said we had to get off!! (-_-)

This was not a good morning at all..
We get cold, ice and snow every year still every time we get same problems, how difficult can it be to fix them? :S

ハッピースマイル!

The popularity of child actress Ashida Mana doesn't seem to stop! She is the youngest to have achieved such success. She is now 7 years old and she made her singing debuted with the song ステキな日曜日～Gyu Gyu グッデイ!～ not long ago. Now a mini album is out!
This release made Mana-chan the youngest artist, at 7 years 5 months old, to have a album in the top 10 position! (previous record was by a 13 year old Canadian)



It's cute but I'm not sure about this.. she is still very young. I think she is an amzing actress consider her age, however as for singing.. maybe they tried this too early?
Anyway it's funny to listen too (^0^)
Also I was surprised to hear that she made a cover of キロロ's Best Friend!



The Limited edition also comes with a dvd...with the music video of the song "Minna no Happy Birthday"

adorable

This have been posted around of Facebook and it's so cute I just had to share it...
This is taken on a flight from China to Scotland where the panda is going to live!!
Wouldn't it be awesome to have a Panda next to you on the flight? XD

Fuji Television apologize!

As many fans I was very disappointed with today's Arashi performance of Meikyuu Love Song during the FNS Kayousai.
I was so sad when I saw it, it was horrible..pain from start until end - so off key. I've NEVER seen them this off!! (however still genki as always) They had no ear monitors, which was strange since it was live, they usually (or always) have it when singing live... Also there were problems with the mics, Nino's wasn't on at the beginning and Riida's voice wasn't clear at all - only the solo part, it sounded like it was off during the rest of the performance. The band was on the other side of the venue so to have them at one stage and the band at another made it worse for the boys!
ALSO they did have ear monitors when singing the collaboration with Matsushita Nao and Kousetsu Minami.. why not during meikyuu.


FNS is one of the biggest music shows so it was a real shame that this event occured!!

Anyway.. Now Fuji TV apologize for what happened and Arashi responded by saying it's fine no worries, we still enjoyed it. See you next year.

Good to hear this news, I mean I think many were upset...!
Still Arashi is Arashi no matter what!! and happy they showed their best despite the event, they really showed they are pros!! (^0^)

I've also heard rumors that this was a trap, someone had planned this in advance..!? it sounds scary but not sure if it's true or not. However there have been posted in papers before. I think some people are not happy with their success.



* I'd say the reason for this was because they DID NOT have the ear monitors which they usually have when singing live. Since it was live music too and loud it's difficult to hear themselves and/or the other members. And as we know they have very different voices which can cause this kind of trouble...
I'd still like to know WHY they did not have it, since they had it when they performed with Matsushita and Kousetsu... I guess it's a mystery we'll never know...

FNS 2011

Right now... in JAPAN.. FNS 2011 is broadcast
I'll try to watch it tonight, I heard that Kuroki Meisa, Nishino Kana and BoA made a collaboration.. looking forward to that! as well as Arashi and other fave artists.
I saw photos of my fave stormy boys and they look GREAT as ever ^^

Also Arashi will do a mix with Kousetsu Minami and Nao Matsushita.. I think the song is called Imoto ^^

It doesn't make any sense..

First she get pissed off at me for "forcing" my brother to use his brain and help me out.
I told her HE wanted to help but now he postpone it and that makes me angry because I already have lots to do.
Then she told me to relax and only focus on the important things.... now I do so, but then she want me to think for her too!!

It's not like I like to go X-mas shopping but every year people force me to do so.
I'm the one who have to come up with ideas!! however so far what I have come up with have been voted down.
So now I don't give a crap about others, I'll get the things I think is good then the others will have to fix their stuff on their own!!!

I've had enough of this...

Candy all over the place!

When I came to work today... what do I see?
Candy and chocolate everywhere!!!
We got lots of candy for free from different places then there is a lady downstairs selling many various kinds of chocolate...I bought 2 bars out of 20 :P
I heard people have gone crazy though XD

슈퍼주니어 세번째 아시아 투어 “슈퍼쇼 3 (PART1)

Finally... It has been 1,5 years since Super Show 3 kicked off, now the dvd will be out.
However we'll have to wait until X-mas. I think many SuJu fans want this however since release date is just before X-mas many will have to wait until the week after to get it, if u order from Korea.

I went to the concert in Seoul on Aug 14 last year, it was alot of fun, still I do miss Hangeng!!
He and Siwon was the members I wanted to see the most!
the DVD comes with a photobook and poster. on the second disc u can find bonus material such as Concert making film, Rehersal, Interviews etc.

The description also say PART ONE, will there be another Super Show 3 later??

What a morning!

I came to my usual busstop and saw the sign.. Delayed 8 min.
Reason.. Short on buses!! It's 5.30 am how can they be short on them? I mean it's not even rush hour!
So I went to another busstop and catched a bus that stopped by the Blue Subway Line.
When I came down on the platform it was silent and no sign when the train would come.
After 3 min they made the announcement, there are some problems between T-centralen and Kungsträgården, therefore the traffic is irregular!
It was wrong with that line all day yesterday too.. I wonder why they haven't fix it yet! I mean T-centralen is our biggest stop, where you can transfer to all different subwaylines and commute trains and regular trains!!

Anyway after taking a detour I finally made it to T-centralen and catched my train to Uppsala.

When I arrived here in Uppsala it snowed so much when I came to campus I looked like a walking snowman!!
I don't want it... Snow, Please go away!!

남은 시간이 별로 없는 것 같다..

이젠 남은 시간이 별로 없는 것 같은데 해야하는 일 넘 많다.
내가 할수 있을걸? 어떻게 해야 하는지 잘 모르겠다! 잠을수 없고 밥도 못 먹고...
요새 바쁜 날 많다. 회사도 다니고 대학교에 있는 수업들도 다니고 있다.
아침엔 일찍 일어나고 새벽까지 바빠서 힘들어요. 내 몸이 안 좋아졌다ㅠㅠ

크리스마스 선물도 준비해야겠다. 올해는 많~~~~이 사야겠네!ㅡㅡ;;

하나님이 날 도와줘요~ㅎ

이젠 굿나이트~ 낼 봅시다ㅋ

全自動人間洗濯機!!

I saw this a couple a weeks ago on Japanese TBS varity show Himitsu no Arashi-chan and was captured by it!
I'm not surprised that they even have this kind of invention, I mean.. it's Japan we are talking about.
This is the 全自動人間洗濯機 (Zen jidou ningen sentakki = all automatic human washing machine)
This is a new way to find beauty.. and it's not as expensive as I thought it'd be!
One time 26 min cost 4500 jpy, 5 times 18500 jpy and 10 times 34000 jpy. There is also a 18 min course which cost 2700 jpy, 5 times 12000jpy and 10 times 21000jpy.

Just like a washing machine the water comes out (^^;;)

Next time I go to Japan I hope I can go and try it out!!

Another great song by 絢香

I really fell in love with this song the first time I heard it.
The lyrics of みんな空の下 is so sweet and nice!! 絢香 really has a tallent for writing!

I love singing this song when going to karaoke!! (^0^)



Lyrics for みんな空の下

涙流さない どんなに辛くても
誰にも負けない強さ持ってるのは
まわりを悲しませない あなたの優しさ

見つめる瞳 言葉なくても
伝わるあなたの想い
負けないよって 頑張るよって
何度も優しく笑うんだ

あなたの笑顔は誰よりも輝き
くもり空まで晴れにしてしまう
何度も高い壁 乗り越えたから
何も怖くない ひとりじゃないよ
みんな空の下

言い返せなくて 悔しかったよね
ひとりで泣いてた日々も"今"につながって
大きな花を咲かそうとしてる

小さな胸にしまい込んでいる
空に似た 大きな心
泣かないでって 大丈夫って
包み込むように笑うんだ

星が顔を出し あなたが眠る頃
同じ空の下 願う人がいる
明日もあなたが笑ってられますようにって
見守ってるよ 遠い場所から
みんな空の下

やわらかな風を吹かせて
街はそっと 色づいてく

あなたの笑顔は誰よりも輝き
くもり空まで晴れにしてしまう
何度も高い壁 乗り越えたから
何も怖くない ひとりじゃないよ
みんな空の下

愛してる

This is an very old song by 尾崎 豊
(It was released 1991)

I love this version of it "made" by 絢香

Lyrics for I LOVE YOU

I love you　今だけは悲しい歌 聞きたくないよ
I love you　逃れ逃れ 辿り着いた この部屋
何もかも許された 恋じゃないから
二人はまるで 捨て猫みたい
この部屋は 落葉に埋もれた空き箱みたい
だからおまえは 小猫の様な泣き声で

きしむベッドの上で 優しさを持ちより
きつくからだ 抱きしめあえば
それからまた二人は 目を閉じるよ
悲しい歌に 愛がしらけてしまわぬ様に

I love you　若すぎる二人の愛には 触れられぬ秘密がある
I love you　今の暮しの中では 辿り着けない
ひとつに重なり 生きてゆく恋を
夢見て 傷つくだけの 二人だよ
何度も 愛してるって聞くおまえは
この愛なしでは 生きてさえゆけないと

きしむベッドの上で 優しさを持ちより
きつくからだ 抱きしめあえば
それからまた二人は 目を閉じるよ
悲しい歌に 愛がしらけてしまわぬ様に

それからまた二人は 目を閉じるよ
悲しい歌に 愛がしらけてしまわぬ様に

I wish i could be with the girls!

Some of my friends are in Korea right now...
I so wished I could had gone with them, actually for me it'd been enough to go back to Singapore to be with them.
But I'm out of money and I do not have time, however when seeing the photos it kinda makes me cry and wish i could be in the photos with them.
And it doesnt help when they write "wish you were here with us" either. (T_T)
But as I said this morning, you cannot have it all. You can always dream and wish...

I miss my girls and hope to seem them soon... in 2012!!

A good start on a working day!

Today when I came into the office I found this on my desk.. ^^
My boss had put it there... isn't it sweet :)

Don't let the bad things get to you

This morning I had a fight with a certain someone... but I still stand my grounds!
Life is not easy, many times there are times you do not what to do and want to die.
But do not let the bad and dark sides get to you, I know it's not easy when the world is turned upsidedown but the darker it gets the harder it is to see the way out.

Do not let the darkness catch you and pull you in...
There will be a tomorrow no matter if you like it or not, instead of waking up to the tormorrow that's similar to a nightmare, isn't it better to wake up to a brigher one with happiness.

Life is not always what you want it to be! Life is simple but not easy...
Maybe the goals you set for yourself are not the ones that are supposed to be for you at this moment.

We'll keepon dreaming and wishing. But dreams and wishes are not always answered with the answer we want to hear.
The hope of the outcome of our dreams and wishes are the last to die!
