Hello people, it's been some time ne? I apologise for being MIA both in DA and also on LJ. O_O RL has been catching up big time with me lately, so I'm finding it harder and harder to be active on the web. And the busiest part of this semester hasn't even begun. The assignments that are due next week (for every subject
) are just a small percentage of the overall grades.
Well anyway. I'm not here to rant about my RL. Let's talk about some good stuff, like NEWS' new single!
Have you all heard already??
mousee_kitty posted on her Kenken no Heya yesterday that NEWS will be releasing "SUMMER TIME" on the 8th of May this year! It's supposed to be used in their RUSS-K CM's like how they did with weeeek. Both the LE and RE will have new songs: SUMMER TIME, EASY COME, EASY GO, Liar and Baby! Be My Baby! LOL I think the last one on the list probably has an 'ero' feel to it just like Ai no Matador and Bambina.
Since I'm at it, I might as well post links to pre-order the singles. I did some searching and they're already available for pre-order on most major websites!
Here you go:
SUMMER TIME - LIMITED EDITION (JAPAN VER.)
YesAsia (link thanks to mousee@Kenken no Heya) - No longer available
CDJapan - Out of print
Amazon.co.jpHMV Japan - No longer available
SUMMER TIME - REGULAR EDITION (JAPAN VER.)
YesAsia (link thanks to mousee@Kenken no Heya)
CDJapanAmazon.co.jpHMV Japan All of them cost the same (1,000 yen) except for at YesAsia, where it costs 1,160 yen.
And something interesting I found on on the HMV site: The ProDai SP DVD is 1st on the Daily TV/Movies Preorders. It's doing well isn't it?? Sasuga Pi-tan to Maa-tan~
So... Will you all order the singles now? Or wait till we get a sneak-listen of the songs first, like me? I'm not a fan of buying singles, I'd be game now if it was an album though. I've been splurging a lot on mags lately, because Pi is just everywhere. -_____-" I just got the Kinema Junpo (the one that Pi looks oh-so-damn-hot) but was kinda disappointed because it's smaller than normal mag size, and it's practically like a journal. Thick full of words-heavy articles/reviews on movies. Oh well. And this is a movie mag, so it wasn't that cheap as Wink up, etc.
Okay, on to the next thing... Notice the title of this entry? Sounds like some McDonald's tagline but nope, it's the 1 million downloads single by FUNKY MONKEY BABYS. I hope you didn't just go "Huh? Who's that?"...
If you watched last year's Music Station Super Live (like I did because most of our JE guys are in it), you would've noticed them... IMO they're pretty hard to miss because of the weird-looking DJ guy who wore a long scarf with skimpy shorts. O_o And I think they came out with another JE act... Was it NEWS? I can't remember...
Well anyway, Lovin' Life is the single that made their claim to fame. They're those acts who found fame on the internet, as that song reached 1 million downloads and made it big on the Oricon charts. Apparently their PV's are famous for featuring celebrities in them. Indeed, as you will see in the PV's below. xD Read this for a background check:
FUNKY Kato (not our Kato-kun!), MONKICHI & DJ CHEMICALHere are the PV's of the three songs I like... They have a very ORANGE RANGE feel to them, and you can tell they have fun with their music. (Plus that DJ guy is way quirky >.<)
Lovin' Life (Very catchy)

Well then, I'm hitting the books again now. -______________-
Gomen ne Shaz, will do the meme you tagged me next weekend hopefully, after all my assignments are done and over with this week. *chu*
