feeling: really tired
listening to: Utena Movie - Fiancee ni Naritai
Look look! I got some crappy quality copies of my nephew's latest photo studio adventure and I posted one of my favorites~ if you look really close among the blur of his mouth you can see teeth ^u^ He was here all day yesterday... and I mean ALL day. We wore each other out 9u9
I just finished watching Hey! Hey! Hey! again~ man, I really wish this show was on more than just once a week. T_T It'd be nice if it was on Friday nights or Saturdays or something too, so I can see it during the school year... beh. Tonight they had this guy group called Mr. Children... didn't think much of them *shrug*... then they had this girl dressed as a nurse and looking remarkably like a young Shingo Mama XD... she sang a song that sounded like it could've been from Card Captor Sakura or something, and she had this big group of other girls onstage dressed like her, and they were all doing these corny dance moves you'd expect to see in a 50s diner or something. Scary. 9_9; And the main guest was Utada Hikaru. She's pretty cool, but... eh, she's been called Japan's answer to Britney Spears. ¬_¬ Personally I see no resemblance... their music styles are soooort of similar, that's about it. Not even that, actually, because I can't stand Britney's music, yet Hikki's is all right because I get the feeling that she's actually in it for the music and not for the gawks from horny elderly males (and underage females, as it were o_o). But otherwise they're nothing alike. Hikki actually wears clothes that cover her and favors singing rather than prancing around buried in overdramatic lightshows and surrounded by dancers. Tonight when she sang, Hikki just stood there in the middle of the stage, no dancers or backup, wearing jeans and a midriff-covering blouse, and sang. Just sang. That is why she's better than Spears. Heheh, it was kinda funny... during her interview bit, Hikki was talking about how President Bush had called her "Mr. Utada Hikaru" *snort* That's Bush for you...
In short, it was fun to watch... but not near as good as last week's Gackt episode :P Best of luck to Hikki when she releases her English debut album... she's not my favorite singer, but someone has to get J-music popular over here. If anyone's worthy of that, it's Utada - she barely shows any accent when speaking English, and she's pretty close to what's popular in this country now. Similar enough to be seen by those who like that kind of music, but different enough to appeal to those who don't, such as me. If she does well, maybe we can lure some really, really cool J-musicians to our shores. ^^ *holds up a big sign that says IRASSHAIMASE GAC-CHAN*
Well, since I'm still facedown in one of my worst slumps yet, and since I'm dead tired, I still have nothing better to post here, so I suppose I'll stop now. Ja na.
