ONE OK ROCK 「Be the light 」 - NEW PV

Here's ONE OK ROCK New PV

ONE OK ROCK 「Be the light 」

Taka's expression is pretty interesting, I must say. Considering this is a slow rock, his facial expression and acts are very firm and strong. This is slowly becoming one of my favorites!

PHOTOGRAPHY
I took this photo out of boredom but it turned out pretty good. Gives off weird yet artistic vibe at the same time. Classic! I should make this my facebook cover, maybe :) What do you think? 

「いきものがかり」Ikimono Gakari

「いきものがかり」 IKIMONO GAKARI

My brother traveled to Laos since last week.

Anyways, he and I are not that close. Situation were bad back then but gradually getting better.

Borrowing things without telling is definitely prohibited. I'm sure he'd be mad if he'd found out I took his CD while he's on his trip :)   

He left a few things home, including his new CD Ikimono Gakari. 

So you can imagine why am I writing about his Ikimono Gakari :) 

I couldn't help it. They're great band. Thus, this is another new discovery. I still have yet to write about RADWIMPS and Uverworld later on. 

Ikimono Gakari is a Japanese pop rock band that debuted in 1998. They record on Sony Music Entertainment Japan's Epic Records label.

 

The band was formed in Kanagawa Prefecture in February 1999 by Hotaka Yamashita and Yoshiki Mizuno, and was later joined by lead vocalist Kiyoe Yoshioka in December the same year. Ikimono-gakari (生き物係) refers to a group of children who are responsible for looking after plants and animals in Japanese elementary schools. [wikipedia]

3 members are:

水野良樹（MIZUNO YOSHIKI）Guitar＆リーダー

吉岡聖恵（YOSHIOKA KIYOE）Vocal

山下穂尊（YAMASHITA HOTAKA）Guitar＆Harmonica

NICO Touches the Walls

I like the feel of discovering new band/singer :)
I have been following a few artists even before they signed into a major music record, like Colbie Caillat and Sara Bareilles.

There are times that I might be way behind the music business due to work and other stuff. Once I found it, all the information I need to know about the band is a must.

Today.. I present you another of my discovery:

NICO Touches the Walls
Quite a strange band name I must say. Long name too.　長いバンドの名。。。 (I hope I got that right..) でも、すごいなぁ~

 

NICO Touches the Walls is a Japanese rock band formed in year 2004. There are songs featured in Naruto Shippuden such as "Broken Youth" and "Diver". Another success "Hologram" was also used as opening for Full Metal Alchemis: Brotherhood. Moreover, "Matryoshka" is another one used as opening theme for anime C. 

Here are a few official pv I could find. Too bad, all of Sony Japan's music video is not available to watch in YouTube.

Breakfast at work : Unexpectedly plain but good

これは会社で私の朝ごはんです。

Eh...did I get that correct in Japanese ?

This is my breakfast at work. As a hotel staff we usually get free meals.
いいね~

My first post through Blogger Mobile. Let's see how it looks.

Today was a bit plain....only fried pork and rice....No cereal....no soy milk ('_') But this is as good as it gets.

Thai usually have heavy breakfast. Our breakfast can be as equally as heavy as any other meal. But I prefer coffee and toast in the morning.Light, sweet, and fulfilling (^_^)

じゃね~

ブラッデイ・マンデイ (Bloody Monday)

First day of work after the long holiday... I felt like dying.
Maybe I am really tired of this job.
I wonder how people managed to stay with a company for more than 3 years.

すごいな。。。その人。。。

Three jobs already and I get the same feeling every time it gets past one year. 悔しいよ。。
Anyway, enough nagging about my pathetic working life for now. Let's talk about more Japanese series! This is what I am currently obsessed right now:

ブラッデイ・マンデイ (Bloody Monday)

 

The series is based on a popular manga of the same name with 三浦春麻 (Miura Haruma) as lead actor and 佐藤健 (Sato Takeru) from Rurouni Kenshin (るろうに剣心）Movie. Now you know why I like the series :)

After a biological terrorist attack kills off the population of a Russian town; Japan's Public Safety Special Third unit, code name THIRD-i, believes that the terrorist organization responsible plans to unleash the same virus known as Bloody X into Tokyo. Subsequently, THIRD-i recruits the help of genius hacker Takagi Fujimaru to find out what happened in the Russia. However, as Fujimaru becomes involved, he soon finds out that he is in over his head and that the terrorist groups influence reaches not only his school but even the police. Fujimaru must now rely on his skill as a hacker to unravel the organizations sinister plot and find out the truth behind "Bloody Monday." (DramaWiki)

Total of 11 Episodes 

ブラッデイ・マンデイ2  (Bloody Monday2)

First series dealt with deadly Russian weapon grade virus, this one is set two years later when an aircraft bearing nuclear bomb threatens Tokyo.

I do like this series so much. With each and every episode, you can see each character develops and mature over time, especially Takagi Fujimaru. Even the worst person like J (Kanzaki Jun) 成宮寛貴 (Narimiya Hiroki) is slowly and gradually showing his feelings  or expression that merely exist during the first season.

Total 10 Episodes
