Japan. is. Amusing.
K, this may be partially 'cause I'm feeling quite giddy right now, but I've really had to post this here for almost two days now.
My preciouses, yet another offspring of Japanese society has inspired me beyond any reasonable measure. I am of course speaking of none other than M-flo. Or more specifically, M-flo rapping. It's absolute love, especially when it results lines like:
"First I was lost in your
eyes, everything you did was seismic, like you hypnotized me
I made my size fit around what you did not matter what the cost is,
but then we was lost in a transla-ti-on 'cause we from Tokyo,
times like this in Japanese you say "Dou Shiyou?" Yo."
AND
"Let's leave all
of this behind
let's forget it like
High School Calculus."
AHAHA. *dies* You really must hear it, so I've uploaded it here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9HC7R2WM
*sigh* Too good. I love M-flo. It actually sounds good. And it's hilarious. Pretty gangster japanese men a phenomenon. There are even better lines. He even disses Ben Stiller at one point.
And yes! *drumroll*
AcQua EP.
Wow. I'm quite seriously wondering if these boys are not reject-Johnny's (which would be sad...) who, in a fit of rage attempted to form an angry rock-band just to spite Johnny Kitagawa, only it resulted in... er, well, young boys in pretty clothes and more eyeliner than is healthy for any one man (or woman, really) to be wearing at any given time in their life. And lots of endlessly catchy rock-wannabe-pop songs. While I don't think this was the desired effect, it is precious and special to say the least. Please do check them out and tell me if I'm crazy or not.

*shudders* In a good way. I think.
Anyhow, the reason I say Johnny's isn't as bad a it gets, is that while AcQua EP is releasing an album with a title that actually makes sense (Didn't See Us Coming, complete with capitalization *claps*) - a feat Johnny's have yet to accomplish - and they've been around for over 40 years - all integrity is lost in the members' names. Check out the four frontmen:
Seiji[insert little moon here]、Makoto.、Naoto☆、Juza[insert little headphones here].
K, so the symbols not showing up wasn't planned. But if you check out the link you'll see. ^^
Anyhow! Giddiness has calmed, and this is seeming lame~~~ but I'll post it anyhow! I was shocked by the inate Johnnyness of it all. Tanoshinde, ne.
P.S. I really recommend M-flo's Cosmicolor Album. Some really good, catchy dance tracks, almost entirely in english, and very good english at that. I'm excited to hear their collaboration with Kanye West under the Pseudonym "Teriyaki BoyZ".
And Vania, please be happy =( - I know I can't really say anything to help with what you're going through, but just so you know... that if you need anything I'll be here, anytime, and I'll be thinking about you. Stay strong. =3 *encouraging face*
Ah, I'm so excited for Friday's gym class~~~!
