...when Ohno held the frame containing the picture of their mother, my tears simply fell.  Every moment with each member in this PV made me cry.  I just love everything about it!

My Girl

Ok I take back my previous words of My Girl being Arashi's usual fare. No wait. I'm perfectly fine with Arashi's usual fare. I'm in love with Arashi's usual fare. Their attempts at different styles ae good too but no matter what, Arashi's defined by their usual fare of warmth and sense of thanks.

I finally watched the PV! Had wanted to download it but my HD's almost full and don't have space to spare! =( It's strange but my heart soured while watching the PV....when Aiba discovered the letter from their mom saying she will continue to look over them from that house. And then the boys decided not to move out and to stay with their mom...Touching! Add the melody to it and you get a potent mix of Arashi goodness! But I felt that Aiba's role there should be taken over by maybe Nino or Jun...Aiba should be the excited one! lol

Arashi's My Girl PV is out!
It's a cute PV... touching...
the story is quite sad T.T

It has a bit of humour, how Jun and Sho fighting for the biggest room and then Nino comes xD

I refused to be spoilt by boys our via radioshows this time round.

And I'm glad I decided so.

Just listened to the cd and....my gosh. I shuffled the songs and the first one that came up was

スーパーフレッシュ Super fresh.
Super fresh, just like them, who's always fresh and brings us new feelings and ideas.
The song itself is superfresh! I love love love the melody. It didn't catch me right away, but there were bits of it that made the song different from others...it's not the type which you can roughly guess how the melody for a particular line will end, as is possible with many pop songs. It's so addictive! And such a light, happy feeling....in fact, when I shut my eyes I can imagine us on a boundless grassland, with flowers and butterflies all around. Everyone's smiling, just smiling. Is this supposed to be a fuyu song? It feels spring to me. And surprisingly, it felt like a korean pop to me...

The next song that caught me was the instrumental of

時計じかけのアンブレラ.
LOL I can imagine them bull-fighting in this.....latin-y piece. I really love the instrumental for this! I listened to the actual song later and while I liked it as well, somehow I just prefer the instru more.

And next up was the title track

マイガール
Surprisingly, it didn't really stick. It's all very Arashi...the usual style. Btw, I've only watched ep of My Girl....I'm wondering if I should continue...hmmmm

Hi!!!

so I expect everyone and their cat has already seen the PV   *because Matsufancat has ><b*

and?? and???

I told you!!! remember that Nino month strip?? remember??? I said I made Nino state the fact that they're siblings!!! HA!!

true, I made the uh family dynamic a liiiitle bit different, but they're still are!!! ><v 

*is proud* ^____^

*massive eye rolling*

what?! I gotta be proud at something!!! D:

...ok

oh and the CG mom??? she looks more like uh a mix between Aiba-chan and Ohno in the drawing pic... at least for me XD;;;   *and *cough* is sorta uh weird*

the other pic looks better :D

I wonder if *she* has a name...

and yes the PV is nice and all that, but I looooooooove the making off even more!!!  *usually happens with most uh films and videos*

I knoooow there are gonna be like tons and tons of gif posts so... should I even bother?? :/

anyone??

oh talking about PVs and stuff... remember that I was whining about my DVD??  I think I whined more on twitter... sorry tweeps!!! ^^;;;

whatever... today I got up early to go to the post office to go rescue it and after the uh post office woman got amazed by how fast did the package arrive... ^^;;

and they searched and searched till found the claim paper... signed

by my grandpa

*face palm*

so after getting a little embarrassed I returned home and asked him

yup, he had it

...guess I can't really get mad at him I mean; at least he received it, right?? :/

*sigh* hope he remembers this time in case he gets my CD too... ^^;;

in case you're curious I haven't watched it yet, I had to finish my hw and then eat and get ready for class

and since my dad was sleeping I couldn't see it in the HD as Shosus demands so maybe tomorrow

ahm what else??

I still think Tokei jikake no umbrella NEEDS a PV, but I guess pretty much everyone thinks the same...

so JE spies?? we wanna give you more monies :D  pweaaaase??? 

*in case you're wondering I've been spending a lot of time reading lolcats... A LOT*

I even got the idea that if I ever got another cat I want to name him Nino...

blasphemer!!!

yes I know, that's why he'll be Kazu or Neener instead XD;;;
 
nothing new beside that, last ep of MG is gonna be a bit harder

and uh that's all I think

zashi thanks!!! but... but ... I've spending my days in rainbowland *and there's nothing more cheerful than that* and instead of getting better I'm just getting worse!!! D:  *can I blame Shosus for that too?? :D*   *gets bricked*

annie hee hee

ebonyazure thanks!! oh don't worry, I know everyone is busy XD;;
uh no, if it comes to life I'll be sure to be running for my life... it a ferocious tyrannobunny rex after all!!! XDDD

Har Mar Mall - I mean Superstar - is back, after five years of absent since 2004's The Handler......

Parking in the college area known as "Dinkytown" in Minneapolis can be kind of hard, especially when the meters on 4^th Street runs until 10pm. I didn't mind walking a few blocks to the beautiful Varsity Theater as the weather was nothing less than perfect that Friday evening.

Opening up for Har Mar Superstar are three very different genre and acts. Starting with Koo Koo Kangeroo (official / myspace), whose music styling is that of hip hop - for toddlers. Their songs are dead simple, like "AOA" (sample lyrics: "aye oh aye oh aye") and "Cheh Cheh Chi" and "LMNOP", but they're catchy and easy to sing along. The highlight of their set was when they threw down a white tarp-like covering and the audience was dancing under it like a party fort.

Wow, Bang Bang Eche (myspace) are young. Someone told me that they're about 18 years old, but they certainly look much younger. Their music is very punk high-energy and reminds me a bit of Arctic Monkeys influenced. My easily favorite song from their set is "Fist Full of Dollars", perhaps a reference to Sergio Leone classic film? They ended their setlist with "Die Hippy Scum". Oh, also, it's worth noting that bassist T'Nealle sported a three keyboard cat moon t-shirt. Adorable.

The odd group on the bill was two-person group, Lookbook (myspace). The band is basically guitarist Grant Cutler, who plays guitars and handles the pre-recordings, with vocalist Maggie Morrison. Their music sounds like 80s pop, not exactly the "body-moving" type of music that you'd think Har Mar's audience would demand. Not really much to say, except I think Maggie looks really cute and I will be talking about them in further detail on my "book"-theme news on Sunday.

Har Mar Superstar ♥ Varsity Theater, Minneapolis (11/06/09)

Compared to the last time I saw Har Mar Superstar, which was basically a man and his undies and boombox - he now has a full band, all dressed in white with a red cross on the back. Also, the last time I saw him, he basically stripped down after the first few songs - this time, he started off very heavily dressed with an African cover, hat, etc.

After the first song, he took off his hat. After "DUI", he took off the overall to reveal a Prince "Purple Rain" shirt. He kept taking off articles of clothing as the night went on. From "EZ Pass", to "Girls Only", to "Creative Juices"... the audience was loving it all.

Har Mar and Melinda Park singing "Powerline"

By the time "Brothers & Sisters" was played, he inevitably took off his shirt. The pants disappeared with "Apple Sauce", followed by "Turn it Around". The finale song was "Tall Boy", which Zach, from Bang Bang, and some woman called Melinda Park (or was it Mindy Park?) joined on stage to help sing the song. Park would later turn up again to help sing one of the encore, "Powerline".

The very last song, Har Mar sang an a cappella version of Boyz II Men's "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday". He would pretend the song ended and everyone would clap... only he would continue to sing the refrain. After the third false ending and after he said "goodnight", he came back and sang some more.

Har Mar's latest album is Dark Touches, available from Dilettante Recordings. Read Andrew's review of the album, pick up a copy at amazon
