Revive - Mai Kuraki

this single is included in Puzzle/Revive single.
just like puzzle, at firs I feel like disliking this song because of no Michael 's voice. but when I know that this song is used as the opening theme of Detective Conan, I'll try to listen to it more often and... yeah... Finally, I find something great in it! well, I love Latin rhythm of this song. I really want to dance SALSA while I 'm listening to this. I also love the Latin man 's voice part... though they don't sound as good as Michael 's..
well, I really miss him with Mai...
kyaaaa


well, I think the more I write, the less objective this review is...
so I only can say...
SEE YOU!

Puzzle - Mai Kuraki

this is the 31st single of hers. This is also for celebrating her 10th anniversary in japan music. in addition, this single is used as the ending theme song for my biggest ANIME I really love, Detective Conan 13th movie : The Raven Chaser that has just been released this month.
at first I really hope this song will contain Michael Africk's vocal, just like what Mai 's song usually contains. but yeah, I heard a sound of man in this song but not Michael 's voice. At first I felt a little bit bothered because this man 's voice was so-not with Mai 's vocal. but when the song reached to the end and I heard the rapping of that man, well, my mind changed. this song was not bad. and the more I listen, the better I feel about this song.
I can say that this is the second song of hers that I love after Love-needing that contains no Michael 's vocal. I usually love her sing with Michael along in her song...
and I think she tries to 'let go' Michael 's vocal in her recent song...
NOOOO! big NOOOO!!! please, Mai, please... don't do that!
ok, I think I 'm starting to be crazy now...
well, after all, this song is really ear-catchy. and all of you must enjoy this. because my friend also loves this when I ask her to listen this...
he he he...
to let you know about this song, I will make it to my page as soon as possible.
just wait!
see you!

Aqua Timez-Sen No Yoru Wo Koete

wohoooo...
finally, eventually, I write a review about one of my lovey-dovey band, namely Aqua Timez!!!
well, sorry if I don't make their own picture. because I can't get one which is considered suitable in my mind... LOLs. but it's still related to the song I review anyway
the single of them is sen no yoru wo koete. also the ost of the 1st movie of bleach : memories of nobody.
the song starts with the sound of piano or what kinda music instrument it is which is pressed (sorry, I can't explain in the musical way). and then it continues with the voice of futoshi which makes me feel... arghhh... I don't know!!! his voice is so gentle, calm, and he really sings it like he doesn't sing it... I mean, he just likes saying it. perhaps it is because he just interprets the lyrics much..
though the song seems monotone, but I love it very much. I usually don't like a monotone song. but this single is exception. :)
in addition, this was the first AT's single that I heard and I directly fell in love with it and them. thanks to bleach. if I was not the big fan of bleach, I would never want to hear AT's single which means that I will be the most stupid person in the world..
hahha
hmmm, it seems I 'm getting more stupid in every sentences I wrote.
well, that's it I can explain bout them now. later, I will give more reviews about them and my favorite other j-singers and j-bands. cheerio!

HELLO!!!

waaaa...
it's been a long time since I wrote my last review...
hmmm, I wonder what I should review now... any ideas??
perhaps, no song or books or movie I can review now...
it's my life that I really want to review...
hohoo...
for I've been 17, I'm obliged to be mature not just in the way I look outside,
but also in the way I feel and think inside...
well, people don't think I've grown-up inside... my parents think that I'm still childish. my mother says that I haven't been able to decide my biggest goal in life because i 'm too fictitious. i don't agree much with them but i don't deny also.
i may not be mature in the way I think, but that's not because of my thoughts that seem unstoppable to dream anything unreal. but it may be caused of i never get used to be like that. i don't say it's all because of my parents, but i think they really have a great ROLE in making me such this childish.
if they had taught me to be what they wanted since I was a BABY, I wouldn't have been like this! I wouldn't be a people who is obsessed to reach my fictitious dream like they say!
in the first, I showed them my stubbornness. how I really wanted to be an author ... but now, I decide to follow what they say.
hmmm, I think I've grown-up because I let my self follow what they want...
but they don't think that's ENOUGH!!! they want more proofs to show my maturity. *sigh*
sorry for my useless story...
i promise i 'll be back with my next review

Well Well

I didn't make it.
well on March 1st, 2009 I joined a test to get a seat in a very prestigious university in my country. I took faculty of medicine, faculty of communication, and faculty of law.
and today is the passing announcement .
and I didn't even get one of them.
first I felt so sad. I cried out and regretted. I also prayed to God, to take my life as soon as possible.
I felt so useless. though my parents said that there are other chances for me this year, but I couldn't feel calm. I felt I didn't deserve to be their daughter, because I never make them happy, and proud.
but after my mom and I prayed together, I slowly feel calm. and I believe that this is the best for me from God. God has another GREATER plan for me.
well, perhaps this is a way for me to gain success to be a science-fiction and love-story novelist! or to be a scientist!
hahahah!

Vampire - Janne Da Arc

hello all!
I'm back with my new review!
now, I will explain about JDA single, titled VAMPIRE. this song is my most favorite of theirs!
the song begins with the sound of electric guitar with a very unique tone.
well, I feel this single is so different with another song by JDA, which is cooler! LOLs. I really love Yasu's crunchy vocal. this song successfully makes me crazy and never want to stop hearing!! arrkkhhh!!! thanks to YASU and the gank!! heheheh
but I hate the duration!! it's too shoooorrrtttt! arkkkh!! it will be better, greater if it takes longer!!!
but they end the song really well! the sound of the electric guitar comes back with the unique tone. hehe. I don't know how to explain in musical way.
over all, this song is catchy for all people who loves rock! this j-rock band is really worth being heard!!

In the afternon...(2)

So many things I have posted. But I post no review. Sorry! ;) actually, I post through my cell-phone!
I would like to introduce one of my close friend, namely Stella. She's a lil' bit crazy. And when we blend, we can create disaster for people around us! Haha! I'll show u her face! She's pretty, cheerful and my soulmate for going to madness. I'll post her picture when I'm online with notebook!
;)

In the afternon...(1)

Finally, there are some things marvelous happening to me! I had my friend, namely Pratiwi, to paint my homework. She did it very well! She's undoubtly talented in painting! Thanks to God for giving me her as a friend! ;)
And I study with my friend, discussing math problem. Quite confusing I want to study with friends. I usually prefer studying alone than together with friend. Not bad actually! ;)

My morning... (2)

Failed to remake cause I ran out of ink. So I decided to leave it and cry! Lol! Fool me! But if you were me, you would do that, feeling pitful because you don't have talents in painting. Hhh. After that, I couldn't sleep so I took my math and did some of them. And slowly, I was getting tired and at last, falling asleep.
I woke up around 5.30 am. And it just goes like other morning in school now

My morning... (1)

Good morning!
I'm at school now!
I don't feel like reviewing any songs or books now. But I will review about what I've been through from 12am.
I had stopped being online that time and thought to finish my homework, painting! Oh my! I really dont have any talents in that part! But I tried anyway. And... It SUCKED! The result of my painting really drove me mad! I tried to remake it. But failed!

sorry

Oh MY GOD!!
why can't I change this blog looks?
how to change the template?
why it doesn't work???

Love, Day after Tomorrow

FINALLY!! I can give you some explanations about this great song!
lol
well, this is Mai Kuraki 's second single since her previous work in Boston, but first single in Japan. it's released on December 1999. she was still 17 years old that time. her face shows. hho. and this was a single who drove her into success! for your information, this single was sold 1,358,190. (only single!!!)
well, all I can say about this single is MARVELOUS!! I love every parts of this song! it's memorable and I can't get it out of my mind every time I finished listening to it. hho. this song is somewhat R&B. also I love Michael Africk 's back vocal. I really love Mai Kuraki's songs that consist of Michael 's vocal there. included this one.
:)
I dont think this single has a minus. I really often to hear this song but I dont feel bored to hear it again and again.

well, in the next time I will review about other j-singers and j-bands. but Mai is still my main topic of course. so just wait and see. dont feel bored to come to my page. ok?

Simply WOnderful

hmmm, actually this is not my most favorite single of her. but I think this is a great single of hers. this is her fourth or fifth single maybe (peace! dont mind to forget. :) ) and it was made in 2000. she was so beautiful in the clip (she IS beautiful!)
the music begins very impressive! just like it wants to ask us to dance. and I love the way the backing vocals say 'yei yei' or kinda. well, in this song, Mai Kuraki's vocal sounds heavier than her before single, like Love, day after tomorrow (i WILL tell you bout this ASAP!). She also sings powerfully and makes this song dynamic and energetic.
hhh, I dont know how to describe. but the chorus is really... memorable. and I love the way Mai says 'Babe, I wonder WHY'.
but I 'm kinda disappointed with the-about-to end part. I dont like the backing vocals in this part. so noisy, and no needed. i think this song will be greater if the - about - to - end part isn't filled with the backing vocals

after all, I think this is a great song for your year! one of my friend who doesn't enjoy j-music -- but she appreciates this song -- says so! ^^
