ahaha…. I really wanted to sing this by hook or by choke. I love listening to this song when I’m walking. It’s got the type of beat that’s nice to walk with. I’d listen to this even if it was in the middle of June. I know it’s got to be a chipmunk voice but I really couldn’t imitate it much. But I still really wanted to sing it! Muahahahahahaha
And I know I haven’t had a recording since February. :( it’s sad. Now that I’ve finally got a new computer and I could record again, I’m just not in the mood as much as before.
Warning: This recording can hurt your ears. Don’t blame me. MuahahhHAHAhahA
Snow Again
Lyrics, Music by a.k.a.dRESS
Performed by Saori Sakura
I listen to Japanese music more often than any other language (English, Filipino, Chinese, Korean) and I rely on the internet to get a hold of these treasures. But there are some times when I really like an artist that I also get radio interviews and recordings of them. Like here in the Philippines, sometimes they would play acoustic versions of their songs for that live show. I would love to hear those real time. I found some Maaya Sakamoto acoustic radio versions of some songs, as well as YUI’s. They’re so nice, making me want to see if there’s a way I could get live radio feeds from Japan. Will satellite radios be able to pick up signals from Japan?
I know there are probably online radio stations or online versions of radio stations in Japan that I could probably tap into, but I can’t really read and understand Japanese well enough to venture into these and search. I’d rather stumble on some radio station and discover a new artist or something like what I do sometimes with random downloads.
It was a really great show. Nice symbolic closure, by destroying the piano. You guys will always rock. I wonder when will a boxed set come out. My brother and I grew up buying and listening to cassette tapes. LOL. Iks has them all… somewhere.
It was worth the P3000 that I paid for! I hope the DVD version of that concert comes out soon. The acoustic session they had was eargasmic. I want to listen to those over and over again.
Ara, ara~ It’s been ages since I’ve last posted any karaoke. In fact, it’s been more than a year since my last Karaoke recording post.
The reasons are because I can’t use Audacity properly on the Mac and none of my headsets’ microphones would work on this piece of … machine. I’ve tried recording using the macbook’s built-in microphone but it just sounds so horrible.
I bought a camera recently (will post about it some other time) and instead of playing with the picture and video features of it, I discovered that it has a sound recorder that is really good. The hassle of it is since I can’t install its software on this machine (I got the cd drive jammed), it could only import pictures automatically. I have to remove the SD card and manually transfer the sound recorder files to this. And my card reader is defective. It’s so hard to transfer stuff to this. Pure hell, if I may say. So I just made 3 recordings and picked the one that sounded best and mixed it.
Don’t hate on me. I’m so out of practice. I haven’t been seriously vocalizing and so on, so I run out of breath all the time. Maybe I should get a treadmill just for the sake of cardio exercises, and breathing, which helps a lot in singing. *sigh*
So without further ado, here’s my version of yokogao (after a year and 2 days of not posting any karaoke). I just needed to record this and hear myself singing it (lol) for my sanity, because it kept on playing in my head. *addiction* This was from the last season of ARIA, ARIA The ORIGINATION.
Chata released Tabun Seishun under Usagi Kinoko, a doujin circle she personally runs.
Tabun Seishun was a pleasant mini-album to listen to and put on repeat as a whole. And although I couldn’t understand a thing, I like looking at the inlay and wonder if she wrote the inlay herself because it does look handwritten.
The Eraserheads is going to have another reunion concert, according to the scoop from Supreme.ph
Date: March 7, 2009
Venue: To Be Announced, but they’re deciding between SM Mall of Asia, and The Fort.
Producers: MTV and Smart
They’re just waiting for the Eraserheads to sign the contract and there will be a press con on January 19.
The fun thing is I just watched Ely and Raimund perform last night at SaGuijo in Makati with their respective current bands Pupil and Sandwich. I even got Ely to look at me and we smiled at each other. The thing was I didn’t know that it was already Ely Buendia that was smiling at me. Too bad I didn’t get to shake hands with him or even take his picture. To quote Lori after I told her about that experience, “Sasaktan kita.” (I will hurt you.)
Here are some blurry pics.
As you can see, the place was jam packed, literally. I could hardly breathe or move. When I saw Ely and when we had that smiling-at-each-other moment, it was because even the artists could hardly enter the stage themselves. Oh well.
I’m going to file a leave on that date already. I will blow up steel buildings if I have to, but I have to be there. Missing out on the first concert was a big loss, and I can’t miss this one anymore.
I can’t remember if I put up a Christmas wishlist last year, but after seeing Sarah’s wishlist, I figured I’ll write my own too. (Gaya gaya kasi ako. I’m a loser, ya ya.) So I’ll also kind of copy her “template”
Music
I want a grand piano, or the not so grand would be fine. But this would be totally pointless since I can’t read notes.
I also want a violin, but … same reasoning with the piano.
I have a new bunk bed! It’s so BIG! It fills almost half my room XD
The good side of it, it’s big enough that I can stretch comfortably withing feeling cramped (except when my dog decides to sleep in the middle or on top of me). The bad side of it, some of my stuff had to be moved outside because they won’t fit in my room. Another bad side of it, I’m so lazy so … they’re still outside. And some inside… my room’s a big big Mess.
I love my new bed except that I don’t have a decent cushion for it yet. Of course I love it. I bought it with my hard earned money (and OT). I also bought a swivel chair (which I’ve barely used because of my vegetable of a computer).
Anyway, I’d think that this was enough to feel more relaxed and have better sleep, but no. With stress from work, what I would really need is a vacation. A long (paid) one. I’d love to check out possibly some Vegas vacations but I don’t have enough leave credits for an overseas trip (not to mention money!) ~_~
*sigh* Life. Wonderful.
And it’s like a Melody :D. Here’s a song by Lia from the game “Tomoyo After ~It’s a Wonderful Life~ Shokai Tokuten”
Lia - Life is like a Melody
And here’s another song that I’ve been listening to a lot recently, also by Lia.
This is a response to Sarah’s Top Ten YouTube Finds. I don’t really have a lot of favorites on YouTube. In fact, about half of my favorite’d videos don’t exist anymore and about half of all of the favorites are just covers. I seldom go YouTube hunting and when I do, it’s usually for concerts, covers, or music videos.
But here are some that I liked enough to favorite, in no specific order.
Less Than Three
Well… The Internet Is Serious Business. Some people even fall in Less Than Three.
Urban Ninja
This is just cool although it kind of looks fake. But it was really fun to watch.
Hilarious japanese library show
This is just … like the title–Hilarious. It’s in Japanese but you don’t really need to understand what they say. basically, 6 guys in a library making a fool of each other or torturing each other. And you know how it is in the library…
Caramell Dansen
This is from an anime that I don’t even know. But search for it on yt and you’ll find a lot of people dancing it. This video, however, is mesmerizing.
NOFX - The Idiots Are Taking Over
This is a conceptual typographic video. I’d say it’s a new form of art. It’s really nice and deep as well.
JerryC - Canon in D Rock
I ripped this into mp3 before. But my hard drive crashed before. So I don’t have the audio anymore. Thank God for yt.
NANO + HIMEKA - (not sure of the title)
Himeka finally went to Japan to pursue her dreams of being a singer. NANO’s a wonderful singer as well and I’m sure they just need to get that opportunity to get somewhere. Himeka’s one of my online buddies… more like acquaintances. We have a lot of disagreements but I have always acknowledged her talent. I LOVE her voice. But anywayz, enjoy her performance with NANO. Have I mentioned that I like NANO’s voice too? I LOVE NANO’S voice too. Check out NANO’s YouTube page and LJ as well. She’s got pretty good originals as well. I’d link Himeka’s pages too but … -_-; I wish she’d stop deleting her yt videos and the songs on her wp site.
NANO - Before Your Dreams Fade Away
This will probably be my favorite song of NANO’s. Just listen to it. The video might not be much, but the music will blow you away.
Last but not the least, one of my most favoritest singers, Mimi.
Mis - Aitai yo
Mimi would probably be my bestest friend online. I love her. I love her voice. What else could I say? Oh, check out her Soundclick page as well.
Lately, I’ve been thinking of getting a credit card. Lori is strongly opposed to it, but like Sara said, it really depends on the person, it’s not really that evil. Yu is strongly opposed to me getting one as well because he knows me a little too well.
Well… I do have my reasons. I kind of heard about this from Tom before. He explained that if you have CC and you pay your dues on time and stuff, you can slowly increase your credit limit. So that’s what I want to do. The point is simply just pay the dues on time, don’t let what happened to Orc happen to me wherein he got buried with debt because of CC.
Mama and I were discussing getting a loan as well. In three years, that will be possible. It’s a long time from now, but it wouldn’t hurt thinking about the future. I said before that I’m not the type of person who thinks into the future too much but it’s not bad thinking about it every once in a while. If I do get a loan, and I haven’t found any small business opportunity by then, I could just put it into a Time Deposit account and let it mature, and then get a loan again, and probably, the loan I can get will be higher. Rinse, Wash, Repeat. It might take a couple of years. This is just an idea.
It’s no big secret that I don’t have plans living in this hole forever. But if in case I won’t be able to go away, the least I could do is make my life as comfortable as possible. And in the mean time, I’ll try doing something.
