Mami Kawada Fansite Updated!

I'm just going to announce to this blog (since this is connected to my multiply site) that I updated Mami Kawada's fansite. ^^ I spiced up the main page by adding some "On the Other News..." portion for news update about Mami Kawada. ^_^

I also added up the For our days and return to that place lyrics which are both from the new etude soft's H-game Soshite Asu no Sekai Yori or AsuSeka for short. For our days, music and arrangement credited to Kazuya Takase while return to that place (still both music and arrangement) credited to UETSU MIU or Maiko Iuchi. And of course, lyrics for both songs are credited to dearest Mami Kawada. XD the latter song was so much alike to her Hirusagari no Gogo in her SEED album since Maiko Iuchi also composed that song -- no wonder. And that I can't deny, she really is remarkable for composing (or sometimes arranging) memorable ballads for Mami Kawada (if I'm not mistaken, she also arranged undelete together with Tomoyuki Nakazawa). I just don't like the seduce song. It's so heavy and eeky to the ears. But I love Vacillate and melty snow. XD

Ok enough elaborations. Just check it out here. And if you're interested in listening to the the two new songs, you can always go to my eSnips account. Just search it there. ^_^

Is this a curse or what!? o_O

sentiment: frustrated

harmony: "Ichiban Boshi" by Sachi Tainaka

So much for sulking! *grumpy mode* why does I have to be so damned cursed when it comes to rainy days!? TT__TT Oh I'm just going to rant this...

Why the hell does it rain when I'm not bringing my big umbrella!? And when I'm bringing it, the opposite happens!? o_o It already happened a couple of times already so I don't think this is just your ordinary coincidence or what... It's still a good thing I still brought my jacket and cap to protect me from rain but I still ended up having a cold *sniffs*.

My day wasn't that good either... I wasn't able to give quiz into our Literature class since I didn't remember our prof saying that our group will be preparing one. And my prof in thesis still didn't return my topic paper... so I haven't started yet... damn that person. And I still have to do my Operations Research assignment and study for our quiz. o_O

Life's getting busier day by day. So I'll be posting less. Expect that it'll happen since I haven't posted for almost a week... Actually it's already a week but if you'll calculate (by hours), it's still 6 days and some hours. xD Time to get serious and I'll say bye for now. Still have some things to do in my list.

Out for 3 days!

I'll be out in the next three days due to my college retreat! So be steady while I'm away from civilization! =) To tell you the truth, I'm not that excited about this but what can I do? It's a must for me... Oh well, if you have the need to message me, you can leave a message on my cbox on the navi part of my blog but you'll have to wait for 3 days for me to be able to reply.

Oh well, no sense about being so stubborn. Well then, I still have to pack up for tomorrow's pilgrimage so I'll have to logout now! *presses logout*

Kaori Utatsuki - "Chasse" single review

sentiment: on la-la-land... x_X
harmony: "Chasse" by Kaori Utatsuki

At last, Chasse is now available! I was waiting for it last night until midnight but my source was kind of... lacking for now... XD Oh well, at least I already have the single now. Starting from this review, I will be having some sorta "article" format so that it will be "organized" to all readers! ;)

I. Brief Introduction

Chasse is Kaori Utatsuki's 2nd maxi single (yes, just second) produced by I've Sound and Geneon Entertainment. I had the impression that Chasse was a dance but when you heard the song, your foot will lay back from its dancing position and instead, just relax while listening to the song. The title track was used as the 3rd ending theme for the recently-released anime Hayate no Gotoku! or Hayate the Combat Butler in English (let's be formal with the universal language). According to aibublog, Chasse means "drive out" but still the DANSU (katakana spell for "dance") is still present in the lyrics. So, drive out + dance = ??? O_O;;

Here's the tracklist:

1. Chasse -- 3:45
2. Change of heart -- 5:12
3. Chasse (instrumental) -- 3:45
4. Change of heart (instrumental) -- 5:11

II. Listening Proper

Powered by eSnips.com III. Review Proper Chasse is uhmm... How should I say this? Relaxing? "LSS-ing"? Mind killer? Well, all of them actually do. If it wasn't for the "runrunrun rara runrun ruru" fever, it's not going to be something any special for my taste and hearing. Another of Kaorin's "cute fluffy" song (since it's kind of her "specialty" already) that will surely kill your mind and your vocal will go "runrunrun rara runrun ruru" without you noticing it. No kidding, it's killing my head right now -- almost. xD And with Kaorin's small and a bit squeaky voice, it even makes the whole song a lot more kawaii than her other H-game songs and her debut single Shining stars bless. Hearing this song, just like when my imouto Nikki-chan heard it's TV size, it's like a very cute yet relaxing song that it'll take you back to your childhood times! Yes, this song is pretty good to listen to when you are stressed out and relaxing somewhere. The song starts with a "sprinkly" feeling then she starts her "runrunrun rara runrun ruru" lines. Like what I've said in my earlier posts, it is a very downbeat and slow-paced song and yet it maintains it kawaiiness until the end of the song. Kazuya Takase, who has not regain his "honour" for composing rather unattractive songs lately, did a good (take note, good! Not great.) job on this song partly and slowly regaining his name after his composition in one of Mami Kawada's songs entitled triangle (B-side from JOINT single and the ending theme for Shakugan no Shana II) which was good and soft to the ears. In 2:25, there's a bit long instrumental part and it's a very soothing to the ears. I like the instruments used in the song which makes you more relaxed. On the other hand, the B-side song Change of heart is a fairly upbeat song. Yes, it's a bit contrary to the previous song. Upbeat yet still maintaning the softness in the ears. At least, Maiko Iuchi did a good job on this as the composer and arranger of the song. I'd totally prefer this rather than the messy Virgin's high! (by MELL) and Kaorin's sleazy debut single Shining stars bless. A bit techno-ish in the start and has a faster rhythm than Chasse. And this song, maybe is one of Kaorin's masterpiece not because it's pretty good but because, as I see it, it's her first song that she wrote the lyrics for herself. I thought she'll depend again to KOTOKO for the lyrics but she just shown in this song that she can also be a lyricist and singer at the same time. And she has a good English in the lyrics (the way she speaks it, it's average. Not good, not bad), not much of a cliche unlike the one in MELL's Virgin's high and kicks! lyrics (e.g. Please call me maiden, sky girls. Rising crazy? and My name is pain.)

Overall, this single is much more better than her last single which was a bit sick-o because Shining stars bless was not kawaii and not that good and it's like the guitar in the PV was just a prop. Why play the guitar when I can't hear it in the whole song? I can hear but it's just faint and only on some parts of the song. Chasse was delightful and refreshing. I prefer it more than her Change of heart despite of its soft upbeatness but the lyrics of Chasse is more attractive and good to the ears. ^_^ I'd rate it 4.5/5.

Boredom Strike

sentiment: sleepy

harmony: "O" by Eiko Shimamiya

This has been a very exhausting yet challenging day. But before the day ends, I'll just greet my good friend, Issa a happy happy birthday! If ever you're reading this, I miss ya already! =3 There, where was I? Ah yes, even if it's exhausting and hard (because of what happened when I went home), it's still a very worth day because my meeting with Jen for the Sagashi Ateru 2: The Prisoners of Fate scriptwriting job is a success! Thanks for treating me to lunch! =)

While eating and enjoying our rather sweet red (?) iced tea, we talked about the major characters on the upcoming movie although we only build 3 characters today since we spend two hours just for one character -- which is Rika Shinomori. xD Yesh, her character was a bit hard to build since it took us 2 hours to finish her and that makes her character interesting. xD

We also build Sentaro Atsunaga and Kaurie Tendoh's character but building theirs were rather shorter than Rika's even if they were combined. Weird yet amazing. xD What me and Jen did are just drafts. They're not yet the final works. It can still be changed but we'll still look for brighter ideas.

Next week will be my college retreat so I'm still not sure if I'm going to meet with her and imouto Nikki-chan next week for the meeting. I'd like to go as much as I can but I don't want to add another "sin" just after my retreat. But who knows? Since I'm really dedicated with SA2, I think I'll be meeting them Saturday afternoon just after my retreat. And it'll be +1 sin again for me. xD Oh well, I'm already used to these things so no worries. XD

---

And now, as much as I want to keep myself busy by expressing my feelings here at my blog, I'm now bored to death -- visiting forums and some sights and there's nothing very new and I can't find anything very interesting as of now so I'm kinda feeling dull sitting here in front of my computer. (-___-) What's worst is that my darn old cellphone retired already from its function so I won't be texting you all my friends out there. But you can still communicate with me through here or through YM..^^

Total NEMEET Day! >_<

sentiment: frustrated

harmony: "I pray to stop my cry -little sea style-" by Mami Kawada

Today was a very cursed day... I will never forget this day as well because it's so bad... so bad that I want to scream to the top of my lungs and cry! -___-

First, I went to school to finish some works before I'll meet Jen in the Paseo de Magallanes for the Sagashi Ateru 2 discussions at 1pm. But I wasn't able to finish it quickly because my classmate (which is my groupmate) arrived late! And my prof was nowhere to be found and we'll have to find her or else we're doomed!

It took me at least 2 ½ hours to went out and went straight to go to Magallanes. Second, my biggest mistake! I shouldn't have taken the jeep that goes in the West Service Road! That road can be so very f**kin' shit unreliable. It was kinda under repair in some parts and it was uber traffic! There was even a little mishap/accident in the way that the jeep I rode went stroke for more or less 30 minutes. =___=

I got out at school before 12:30 and I arrived at Paseo de Magallanes at 2:50 PM!!! O___O;; it took me at least 2 hrs to go there when it's not that far away from my location... Ahh the hell with that West Service Road! I'm not going to take another ride from that goes there again! I've learned my lesson!

I am kinda expecting that Jen has departed already since I was out for the next 1 5/6 hrs of our supposed to be meeting time but I still tried. Oh so many fortuitous events these days... I have to be careful next time.

Third, when I rode the jeep to go back to Alabang, it suddenly rained! O_o it's a good thing, I was already inside the jeep so I didn't get wet thank goodness. But when I was already in Bicutan part, the rain stopped and the sun suddenly shone! Ughh, weather can be moody like people too, I guess.

Next, I went to Festival Supermall to pay for our broadband bill. When I was already in line to pay in the "ATM-like touch-screened machine" it went bizarre! And I have to line up to the cashier with a long-line ahead. At that time, I said to myself, "This is going to be a very long day".

And now, I'm having trouble with my Last.fm account. It scrobbles some songs that I don't listen to!! I'm hacked!!!? But how!? T_T I didn't even have Last.fm in other computers except here in my house!? I was just listening to pure J-music then suddenly I saw in my profile page in Last.fm, "Who the f**k is this 'Van Halen'?! And what's this!? 'dream theater? O_o" I didn't even listen to their songs then why the heck are they scrobbled into my widgets!? WTF is this?! I searched in the support forum and did the password-change thingy but it didn't stop that hacker to keep scrobbling songs in my account that I'm not listening! UUURRRGGGHHH!!!! Whoever is that person scrobbling in my account, I'm telling you I'm not happy with what you are doing!! You could've just registered since it's free!!!!

*kyaah* *headdesks* I need to calm down... Or else I'll explode in the next few minutes... -___- I hope the problem with the Last.fm will be fixed in the next few days or else, I'll be forced to delete my account and create another one.

Kaori Utatsuki's Chasse cover

sentiment: LSS'd
harmony: "Chasse (TV size)" by Kaori Utatsuki

Ahh at last, a higher resolution of Kaori Utatsuki's Chasse single cover is now available. Thanks to amazon! If you look at the cover, you'd say "Wow, so vintage!" since it looks very classic and I'm hunching the font used for "Chasse" text was Impact. xD And as I see it, they took the meaning of the word literally which means "drive out". I can see a vehicle! o_O And what's this?! A couple of drinks and is that a bottle of wine? Hmmm... whatever.

Okay, to give you a hint of the song, it's a very slow-paced song much appreciated when you're in meditation or relaxation. And you'll get LSS'd when you hear this song just like I did. The "Lunlunlun lala lunlun lulu" fever will attack you and will make you sing wherever you'll go! It'll even haunt you in your dreams. X3 It is used as the 3rd ending theme for Hayate no Gotoku! or Hayate the Combat Butler. Well, it's better this way because I like the melody more than her debut single Shining stars bless.

It's B-side song Change of heart will most likely be a fluffy cutey-cute song again. That's just an assumption since most of her songs are really like that. Most likely same with her Senecio. But I would be delighted if there will be a cute denpa song (just like her JET SMASH!) in one of her singles in the future. I'm not that delighted but I got LSS'd with those cute lines of Jet Smash... xD *fuwa~fuwa... ecchi ni koshite!* hahaha!

Well I hope this will work since her debut single was a letdown not just on the single itself but with its total sales and Oricon weekly position. I'm excited to have the long version next week, November 21! Can't stop the "lunlunlun lala lunlun lulu" fever... x,X so bad yet so good. xD

Just Your Gothic Schoolmate

sentiment: exhausted (yet restless! XD)

harmony: "HALLUCINO"by KOTOKO

After our last class, me and my friend Marian went out (of school campus) with some of our friends so that we could go home already. Then we we're hitched by one of our classmates and dropped us in the jeepney station in the Alabang Town Center.

Breaking the silence, I spoke up laughing and said, Ang tahimik natin sa loob ng auto kanina! Wala ako masabi! (In English, "We're so quite inside the car awhile ago! I have nothing to say!) Just as me and Marian were talking inside the jeepney, someone suddenly rode the jeepney were in. At first, I thought "Wow! A cosplayer! Good outfit!" But when she turned and see her face, my emoticon was "..." It's none other than our resident quirky gothic schoolmate. We didn't spoke until she went out of the jeepney in the Northgate Cyberzone area.

When she went down, we giggled, at first because of her appearance. xD Yes, she's indeed gothic with the heavy eye-liner and face powder. She's so white that my friend Marian was startled when she encountered this girl in the girl's CR in our school one time. XD But I have to admit, she's pretty and so white even if she's a bit chubby. She's got the looks and she can carry the outfit. But what I didn't like about that "expression" of hers is the fact that she's like too liberated. Okay, so I don't care about your fashion (if it's cool or not, why the hell I care?) and you can carry it BUT, you're wearing such tacky clothes in public? And with the British accent paying for her jeepney fare saying, "Bayad, please." (NOTE: Bayad means paying for the fare of any public vehicle) Ugh, so konyo. So I wouldn't be surprised if she got kidnapped one day. XP

Here's another point, why I hate it. IMO, you can be so fashinable and awesome with that gothic outfit but NOT IN PUBLIC. I mean, make it private. If you're gonna go outside, make sure you bring extra clothes which are appropriate in the eyes of the public, right? Be at least decent so that you won't be the center of attraction and distraction of the people. Ok, I said too much and I really don't care and I don't have time for her and her quirkyness (She really is weird, but I'm still weirder, mind you. =P lolz).

Oh well, I'm not gonna be problematic of other people again specially if I know, they don't care about me. xD gotta go to snooze. It's already 2 AM in my watch...

Some Filipino Idiocy

sentiment: contemplating (again)

harmony: "It's my life" by Sachi Tainaka

Ah before I go to the main topic, my last post was kind of "unfinished" for some reason because I was typing it at almost 3am and then while I was still typing, one of our dogs barked so loudly I thought that my dad has arrived! If he caught me still doing some stuffs in the PC at that time, he could've scold me the whole midnight. But the worst case is, it's just a false alarm! *__* My dad arrived at around 4:30 am! Ahh shucks... But it's okay, better play safe than sorry. xD

Now to continue on my last post, after our e-Commerce class, since we are almost surrounded by mosquitos and bees while waiting for our prof, we decided to call it "quits" and went to the gazebo to sit around and unintentionally kill time. But while waiting there, the strong rain began to shower the ground and the worst case is, I don't have an umbrella! But I do have my jacket and then run from the gazebo until I reached the guard house.

Our last class, International Marketing, was quite surprising. I thought our prof will be my favorite prof but it was my big mistake. My bad, my bad. But I'm still lucky because our prof looks kind and he still looked young - just like a fresh graduate. xD And we were dismissed early due to the strong rain.

*****END OF UNFINISHED POST*****

And now let's go to the main topic, Some Filipino Idiocy. I'm not pertaining to all the Filipino people here because if I do, I could've labeled myself as an idiot as well. xP well sure, I act like a big dork/idiot at times but I only did it when it's joke time. I'm just saying that somewhere around me, some idiots are around. Why label them idiots? Because simple words they cannot pronounce very well. And after hearing "those words", I was lol'd after talking to them. They can be anywhere around the Philippine Archipelago, I tell you. xD These are some of the common idiocy that I encountered:

• Fried Shickken - some konyos (for others who don't know this term, konyo or konyotics are people who mixed English and Tagalog in one sentence in a way, you'll laugh and at the same time annoyed if you know what I mean. It's like when you heard a statement from them, you'll raise one eyebrow and asked "WHAT!?") pronounced Fried Chicken in a very well-composed manner and at the same time, in a very sosy manner that they'll mispronounce a word. For example, those konyos will eat in the street and still goes on with their idiotic expressions and says while getting his/her piece of fishball (through a stick), "I will tusok-tusok the fishball..." a big LOL! xD Who wouldn't raise their eyebrow if you heard it while your on your way somewhere? Will you laugh or will you get annoyed?
• And of course, Shokkolate will always be there. xP
• And another person I know, pronounced Pentel Pen, as Pental Pen in which I really lol'd whenever I remember or cherish it. =3
• Another is Liblary (instead of Library). That person usually invites me to go to this place when we were still a bit young. One day, she'll say, "Tara, punta tayong Liblary." (in English, "Hey, let's go the Liblary.") Funny, isn't it? xD
• At school, there is this person who keeps speaking like this:

Fred: Oh, what's that?
XXX: Oh, this? This is a pre-advising form.
Fred: For what? And where did you get it?
XXX: Oh, I got it from the Departamental Office (instead of Departmental Office).

See how others didn't notice such small mistakes didn't matter to them and they kept on saying the same word until now. Oh, what big idiots - not using their common sense. But, it's okay. Whatever small mistake they commit, it's still funny in the eyes of the kids and of course, to the jokers like moi. xP *eebiilll mode*

1st day was a headache!

sentiment: ishh tired
harmony: noise of the electric fan? lolz. =P

Hah! So much for great first school days but it ended up as a bit miserable day for me. First off, Marketing Research was half success and the other half is not because sad to say, I'm only the fourth year student there and haven't got a partner for my thesis. T_T But I'll do try harder even if I am doing this solo flight.

Second, Business Ethics was a bit boring... The professor has a very slow-paced voice that it affects the time as well. So boring, I could catch flies in the fields and I find it more productive and amusing rather than listen to his class. I hope he'll change in the next few weeks as I understand his position as a new hired professor in our school.

Philippine Literature was sort-of like a "light" one as it's only just a review of what we took up in high school and even if our homework is a bit longer than expected, at least I have many resources which will be easy for me.

E-commerce was a let-down. Our professor didn't make it and we waited there for aeons in front of the room.

Lipstick/Ichiban Boshi

sentiment: great!
harmony: "Lipstick" by Sachi Tainaka

Now what do we have here? It'll be the first time I'll be making a review for Sachi Tainaka's single... haha! Well, I wasn't able to do some reviewing with her Itoshii Hito e single because I don't know what to say about the single. It was extremely good even if it didn't do a good job in the Oricon. If you must know, it only reached #67 with only approximately 2,000 copies sold. Oh such a letdown but I still like the single. The cover was hot and superb and I don't know why it didn't touched the hearts of the listeners. Or maybe because it was a very sad song... but it's B-side Begin was pretty good! A sort of rock and roll with the combination of her oh-so-powerful vocals.

And now moving into the review proper, Lipstick/Ichiban Boshi is Sachi Tainaka's 6th maxi single under Sistus Records (a subsidiary of Geneon Entertainment). Songs and lyrics are all produced by Sachi Tainaka herself (which is a great thing because she really never fails to amaze with her music writing and composing skills). Ichiban Boshi was used as the theme song for the J-movie entitled Persona. Here's the tracklisting for the single:

1. Lipstick (4:45)
2. Ichiban Boshi (4:50)
3. Lipstick -instrumental- (4:43)
4. Ichiban Boshi -instrumental- (4:48)

Powered by eSnips.com

Lipstick is I think one of Sachi Tainaka's upbeat songs that has a really nice tune. And another point, I think this is one of her singles in which the A-side song is not a ballad compared to her last singles Saikou no Kataomoi, Aitai yo./Kimi to no Ashita, and Itoshii Hito e which are all ballad but the corresponding B-side songs are upbeat (except for Aitai yo./Kimi to no Ashita since this is a double-A single) and most likely perky. This song has the mixture of ska (because of the trumpets) and rock which is a good combination, IMO. It's kind of similar to Hitomi Shimatani's summer-ish single Neva Eva and it's a little perky as well. The song starts with a very dramatic matter but after a couple of seconds, it changes your mood into a very different and complex way. Then the next few lines, it will be slow and a bit dull but before the chorus starts, it will give you a thrill because Sachi's voice will be powerful again and will give a supreme feeling overall.

Ichiban Boshi, on the other hand, is actually what I have been expecting -- B-A-L-L-A-D. Of course, it'll have a ballad song because IMO, this is where Sachi is good at. And with her high-pitched and powerful voice, it blends well with any ballad but I still prefer Lipstick over this. With the usual blend of power ballad, it has a natural sad tone and an "almost-crying" voice of Sachi similar to her Aitai yo. song but I like the latter more. Not that very special, I should say but still a good performance, I should say. Tis just making my day, a little dull and emo so I'd still go for Lipstick!

Overall, I can rate this single a 4/5 score because I really like Lipstick very much and a bit let down with Ichiban Boshi.

Good news!! JOINT at #9!

sentiment: uber uber happy!

harmony: "triangle" by Mami Kawada

I just visited Oricon again!! xD And yay! I was really surprised!!!! XD Surprised that I slapped myself and shouted for joy when I saw JOINT in the Oricon weekly charts at the #9 position!!!! Yay! I thought it won't be at #9!! But I'm glad that it was!!! And yeah, as of today, JOINT is now Mami Kawada's most successful single to date beating her 2nd single Hishoku no Sora in #11 position. Although the total sales of the latter (which is 16,500 copies) is still higher, the position, I think, is what matters with a total sales of 15,949 copies this week! XD Yay! I'm happy for you Mami!!! XDD~ *jumps for joy*

I hope this single will stay another week in the Oricon weekly charts and still looking forward for it's total copies sold so I'll be able to edit the information in Wikipedia. xD

OT: Haven't saw Lipstick/Ichiban Boshi in the daily charts... =( sadly, Lipstick was good (I already DL'd the single). Btw, I'll make a review for the said single later. ^__^

The Shark's Lament

sentiment: lonely

harmony: "Kaze to Kimi wo Daite" by Mami Kawada

waaahhh!!! I thought so... Aside from losing my Shakugan no Shana episode 12-15 CD, I also lost my Akai Namida/Beehive single!!! TT__TT I was sure I saved it somewhere I know but when I search for it, I can't find it anywhere!! =__= ohh how clumsy of me. (-___-)' But I should keep steady as I am re-downloading the single again. Thanks to minglong, who still has the torrent file and there are still some few seeds and leechers for me to be able to download again. And my Beehive PV is on my multiply and Veoh account. *~thank goodness, relief~*

Now, together with this lamentation, I'm also very sad because the JOINT single has really slid down into the daily charts. Last monday night, it was on #13 and tonight it flew down to #16?! TT___TT Oh I wish it still has a good position in the weekly charts tomorrow night.

Ahh~ school days will start again for me in the next few days. And my life will be sour and bitter once again. But at least, I'll be busy again rather than bumming inside our house which is completely boring.

Mami's fansite upgraded!

sentiment: *whew* t'was hardwork!
harmony: "JOINT" by Mami Kawada

Yay! At long last!! I've upgraded, or rather changed my Mami Kawada fansite's layout and some other info about her added! *whew* it was strenuous (although it doesn't look like it. lolz. xD) Anyway, if you have the time, please visit the link below

::JOINT:: Mami Kawada fansite

Yes, I changed the name of the fansite since it was a bit awkward (for me) to use it's old name Wind and Wander. And besides, JOINT is more okay and good to the hearing. xD Okay, that's about it. I just spreaded the news. =P *gets ready to slumber*

JOINT, unstable position in the Oricon

sentiment: uneasy
harmony: "JOINT" by Mami Kawada

Continuing with the JOINT addiction, I'm still feeling uneasy with its position in the Oricon daily charts... x__X And of course, at the same time, I'm excited of its position in the weekly charts this coming wednesday... two more nights and I'll be able to know!!! X,x can't wait! *spams*

Here's the position of JOINT in the past few days...

Wednesday (day of release) - #10
Thursday - #9
Friday - #12
Saturday - #12
Sunday - (back to) #9

Arrgggh, I'm getting excited with this... xDD~ I hope it'll stay at #9 tonight... hopefully so that it will have a good positin reserved in the weekly charts. xD And I'll definitely spread the good news here in my blog on Wednesday night. xD I'm really hoping this will be Kawada's most successful single because IMO, it really is! ^_^
