nyappy!!

it's been a while, huh?

we have just done our practice for today... what practice? of course it's my band's practice! hehheheh....

about a few days ago i've posted an advertisement whose content is to find a vocalist and a keyboardist... and a few days later someone called Shandy called me, telling me that he wanted to apply being our vocalist, so i told him to come to our next practice.. and so he does.

we came there on about 3pm, and we started practising right away. the first song we played was LINK by L'Arc~en~ciel. oh, by the way, all of the songs we played are from L'Arc~en~ciel...

his voice is not bad, but still, it is not good enough.. his high pitch was not very good, almost like screaming... but luckily it turns out that he was not accustomed to japanese songs, cuz he sang a lot of EMO songs before... after a while, his singing became better..

but still, there were sometimes that i have to close my eyes, enduring his screeching... but he is BETTER that alfred, that is for sure... luckily, he has a good attitude, admitting that he is still not good enough, but still, like anyone else, he has tons of reasons for it... yea, yea...

oh, and he also forgot some parts of the songs, making us confused...

the songs we played that day were link, stay away, lost heaven, my heart draws a dream, sunadokei, time goes on, some parts of natsu no yuutsu/ time to say goodbye, some parts of honey, pretty girl, and some parts of feeling fine.

ok then, sayonara!

see ya on the next post...

Nodame CantaBiLe SuGoi!!!

nyaaaaa.... in the past few days my main activity is to eat, sleep, and play!!! what a life... hehehehhe....

but as time goes by, the boringness also grew bigger and bigger... so i decided to rent an anime called Da Capo and a dorama called Nodame Cantabile.

the first time i saw Nodame Cantabile, i was fascinated by it. not only funny, it also has good storyline, not to mention many beautiful pieces of music..

the story is about a Music Academy's 4th year student Chiaki Shinichi, who is blessed with unbelievable talent of music. he always wanted to become a conductor. this dorama will tell us about the tremendous change in his life, how he will change from a guy who is cold-hearted, never cares about anyone, etc etc... he even doesn't know what does poverty means!! LOL



Chiaki is the guy with the baton, while Noda Megumi, the girl who will bring a tremendous change in Chiaki's life, is the one beside him.

i like it when Chiaki went "crazy" hehehehhe.... in this dorama you will see a lot of really funny scenes, like when Chiaki sent Nodame flying with his punch, etc etc...

simply put, i LOVE this dorama!!! i am now waiting for the second Nodame Cantabile!!!

BrowsinG Band

haiyah haiyah.... today i am as idle as ever, so i decided to brose on the internet, particularly on Youtube, to find some interesting bands... And i found some!!

the first one was Kazoku, a band which was disbanded a few moments ago, but i like the song "Umigumo" by them...

and this is their pic!



the next one was Charlotte.. this is an oshare kei band which is very very attractive.. it's fun watching them!! their first PV i listened to was "Diamond Busaiku". Phew, it's very difficult somehow to find their pic in photobucket, cuz if you type "charlotte", the results will be those Good Charlotte pics... i can only find Kazuno's pics... this is after i type "kazuno charlotte or touya charlotte or mitsujou charlotte or ruka charlotte or takane charlotte" in the search box...



this is the vocalist...

the next band who got caught in my mind was "Sulfuric Acid", HIZAKI's ex-band... but i didn't have the chance to listen to their songs so i will not post their pic or reviews about their songs..

hmm... i think that's about it...

i stopped cuz the idea of practising guitar suddenly came into my mind, so i disconnected from the internet and started playing my guitar, mainly practising some songs i've learned before...

after that, i slept!! nyaaaaaaaa....

ZzZzZzZzZzzzZzZzzzzzzzZzzzZ..............

PlastiC TrEE

i have found another new band!! it is not a new one though, it was formed in 1993... the band's name is Plastic Tree!!!

BTW, u may have noticed that i have changed my way of posting a post... yep, i'm using english now, cuz i think english is more universal, so now more people can understand what i'm saying... ok, next!!

Plastic tree's songs are more to the sad side, with lots of touching words. i like the song "sink" very much..

but they have some funny songs too, like for example, "baka ni natta no ni" is one of those funny songs they have made..

their appearance is more casual than lots of other J-rock bands, mixing and matching jackets, shirts, mantles, and such. the colours are usually black and white.

but inthe older days, maybe they were also doing some visual key appearance, as shown in this picture:



weird, eh? in the next one their VK appearance is not as bold as the previous one,



well, just compare the make-up with this picture below,



and



in the last pic their app has become more and more casual, and i think that's good too...

BTW, Plastic Tree are:

• Vocal : Arimura Ryutaro
• Guitar : Nakayama Akira
• Bass : Hasegawa Tadashi
• Drums : Sasabuchi Hiroshi

Recommended songs:

• Ghost
• Namida Drop
• Sink
• Tremolo
• Tsumetai Hikari

I have only heard about ten of their songs though...

alright!! see ya on the next post!!

abis itu gw ke jatayu, jemput dd gw yg maen futsal barenk temen2nya....

abis itu gw ke IP dolo... nyokap gw lagi jalan barenk temen2nya pula, sehingga gw kudu menunggu... jadilah gw nongkrong di excelso setelah sebelomnya sempet mampir di gramedia, gamemaster en disc tarra....

jam 4-an lah kita ke aston... disana apartmentnya dapet yg di lantai paling mentok... lantai 19 bo... di situ begitu masuk, kita udah disambut ama sebuah kabinet yang ada kompor en wastafelnya, trus ada sofa en meja serta TV didepannya... kamar mandi di sebelah kiri, too bad ga ada bathtubnya... trus kalo lurus trus balcony (yg dikunci ama pihak hotel, takutnya ada bungee jumping cari mati kayanya...) ke kiri ada kamar tidur dengan single bed, en di kanan ada kamar lagi dengan double bed...

kegiatan kita disitu?? nonton, nonton, dan nonton.... soalnya gw ga bawa laptop, en emank ga ada apa-apa lagi disitu... malemnya gw dibawain makanan ama bokap en nyokap gw, ampe jam 9 bokap nyokap gw pulang...

lalu?? nonton lagih... ampe jam 12-an akhirnya bobo... ga bisa bobo... aaaaaaaaaaa.... gila dd gw yg cowo mah nyenyak pisan... gw tertendang trus en emank gw ga bisa tidur, jadilah gw jam 3 subuh kluar dolo, nonton TV lagih... bentar kemudian, gw kembali berusaha untuk tidur...

lah lah lah... bangun deh gw jam 6-an, trus mandi dengan puasnya, nonton bentar, lalu jam 8 ke bawah... breakfast...

ternyata breakfastnya tak seenak yang diperkirakan... gw pertama2 makan cereal (cornflakes ama yg mirip beras itu), trus omelette, nasi en lauk pauk dikit, kopi, teh, orange juice, aer.... ah ga gimana2 pisan seh tapi lumayan lah...

jam 12-an kita check out... selama dari jam 9-12 itu kita nonton film lucu... tentang keluarga griswald yg bodor abis...

pokonya apartmentnya mah bersih abis, rapih, enak lah... cuman bosen ajah kalo disitu trus... hohohoho... pokonya kudu bawa alat hiburan...
