new year new leaf?
Happy New Year ya'll! I hope everyone had a good holiday season! Moving my fingers on the keyboard at the moment is the only thing keeping them from freezing together! brrrr
Repost request - (yeah I'm actually slowly working my way thorugh these ^^)
Mai Kuraki: Love, Day after tomorrow - (jpop) This is from Mai Kuraki's first album, so color me shocked when she showed up this year at Kohaku (the huge New Year music show) singing this song. I have no clue why she would be doing such an old song of hers, but maybe there was a vote campaign to get her on that I missed. Anyways for those not familiar with her I like to think of Mai as Utada Hikaru light. Cute pop style and some catchy hooks, but lacking a bit of vocal range.
Tommy February6: Lonley in Gorgeous - (anime/jpop) I assume this has probably been posted all over, but it's been stuck in my head all week. This is the opening song to the Paradise Kiss anime. Tommy February6 is the former lead singer for the the brilliant green. This song has a super trooper 70s thing going on that I really love.
Memoirs of a Geisha: The journey to the Hanamachi - (OST) Not Japanese music per se, but from a movie set in Japan. I won't expose more people to my ranting about this movie (which yes I actually saw), but the music was gorgeous. It was composed by John Williams with cello solos done by Yo-Yo Ma! Yo-Yo Ma! I worship that man. *cough* Seriously though lovely orchestral music.
hmm I talk too much!
