Visit of love - single review

sentiment: a bit sleepy
harmony: "DROWNING" by MOMO

No good! I'm gonna fall fast asleep again and I'm feeling it now. *yawns* So bored so I'm just going to make a review before I go to slumber proper.

Visit of love is the 7th single of the J-pop singer Sachi Tainaka under the Sistus Records label. And yes I just notice that Sistus people like to release album after 3 single releases and releasing it exactly two weeks after the release of latest single. *is not connected but it's an observation* As always, I'm not just making reviews and stuffs. xD Anyway, the title track was used as a theme song for some entertainment channel in Japan called "Prin-ce" and I don't have any idea what program is that. Overall, this is Tainaka's 2nd single tie-in with both Prin-ce and PERSONA respectively with the B-side With ~Harunatsu Akifuyu used as an insert song for the latter since her previous single Lipstick/Ichiban Boshi was also used for both.

Tracklisting:

1. Visit of love (4:23)
2. With ~Harunatsu Akifuyu (4:34)
3. Visit of love -instrumental-
4. With ~Harunatsu Akifuyu -instrumental-

And now going on to the critic proper, but you know what I'm going to say first? I'm not that much impressed with this single... Nothing much interested and I prefer Lipstick/Ichiban Boshi single more than this. Aitai yo./Kimi to no Ashita was even more phenomenal and exuberant even without the Fate/stay night tie-in.

Visit of love is something very experimental for Sachi. I couldn't felt the "Sachi Tainaka" that I have known with this song. It's so differently different and definitely not that memorable. I'd prefer Kirameku Namida wa Hoshi ni over this even though I didn't really like this song (and it happened to be her most successful single to date! Talk about uncommon tastes. 0.o) Low and weird synths as well. With some bits of jazz with the trumpets (like in Lipstick) but not too loud and has a very low aura which makes it not very special. Ranges from low-medium beat and I can't imagine how the dancers (in the PV) could dance such song. But despite all of this, I can still appreciate her voice because it is powerful as ever but not as powerful with Saikou no Kataomoi. And another thing, voice is powerful but is not much coordinated with the song. I mean Sachi could have done a better song than this and it really makes me want to freak out! Yes, for the first time! I appreciate despised a song from her!

With ~Harunatsu Akifuyu (eng. With ~Spring Summer Autumn Winter) is another ballad again but this time, it's very different from any of her power ballad. Instead of piano only, there is also guitar which makes it half-acoustic. IMO, this is more interesting than the first song although this is the B-side. o_o Not as dramatic and emotional than Ichiban Boshi, this light ballad is more likeable because it is simple at its best. This type of song when combined with Sachi's power vocals, it makes a more comfortable ambiance to your surroundings. Much much more relaxing and "down-to-earth" if I should say it.

Overall, I rate it 3.5/5. I can't comment anymore but I'll look forward to Love is.... I hope the new songs are much more win. ^_^

*more yawns* I'm really getting sleepy. Oh well it's already 2:47am here in my watch so I'd better doze off to lalala-land so I could wake up with no difficulty later nee?

The Second Chapter

sentiment: fine
harmony: "A Perfect Sky (Philharmonic Flava)" by Bonnie Pink

Ahh yes! The new layout is now finished! And I now all welcome the readers and passers-by to my blog's second chapter the "Scenario". After the 11 chronicles, comes a more revealing chapter of the blog and of course, my life as well. ^_^ Although the title of the first scenario is somewhat funny (or rubbish to some), at least it is very much unique and I was the only one who thought about it. XP

So why it is "UZU-MAKI alive"? You might be wondering? Well nothing much connection to Kotoko's 3rd album "UZU-MAKI" but the meaning of the word in English is Spiral. And the theme for my layout is the manga series by Kyou Shirodaira entitled "Spiral Alive". I just combined the two so more or less, it still has the same meaning. xD

To date, this is my second pseudo iFrame layout that I made for my blog. But the first one was rather simple and it has a glitch using FF. I think the JavaScript is not applicable to that browser, I must say. But I love this one more because it took me at least 9 hours to do this layout. xD Meaning it is a real product of hard work and sweat. xP *eww*

Anyways, I haven't done any review for my fave J-pop artists nowadays because I was very busy not only with my layout but also with my lessons so maybe I'll do the review next time. And I have to go now to do some certain things. o_o

Sachi updates

sentiment: tempted to post (again)
harmony: "Do You Crash?" by Bonnie Pink

Kyaah! I know I shouldn't be doing this. xD It's already 4:30 am and I had only 2 hours of sleep as of now but I just can resist to tap the keyboards and search for more about Sachi Tainaka. As you know, it's already January 23, 2008 here and I was searching for more info about her latest single Visit of love which will released today and her upcoming 2nd album Love is.... And if I remember correctly, the cover that I posted here was not the limited edition cover but the DVD one. And so here it is, courtesy of amazon again. xD

And yes, she resembles BoA a lot here. o_o And this is a much prettier album cover than the DVD cover but both are real pretty. Some of the tracklisting have been revealed.

The first track will be the uber dramatic mushy Itoshii hito e. IMO, not a very good choice of first track because it should be something entertaining and amusing not downlifting.

Second track will be Lipstick, which should be on the first track, I'd say.

Third track is a new song called Sayonara, and I'm assuming this will be a ballad because of the title.

Next track is the another uber cheesy dramatic Ichiban Boshi.

Fifth track will be the latest song Visit of love which is a fairly upbeat song but not too delightful and memorable. I just heard the long version from the PV when I watched it awhile ago at Dailymotion. I'd still prefer Aitai yo anytime because IMO, the latter single was a much stronger one even without the Fate/stay night tie-in with the other song Kimi to no Ashita. It rather moved my heart rather than just a lighter upbeat like Visit of love. But I'm still looking forward to the B-side.

Other tracks have not been revealed but according to amazon's information, the said album will be having 12 songs all in all. And I'll be looking forward to them all.

Another side comment, with the not-very-much delighting Visit of love, I don't think it'll be a single that'll reach top30 in the Oricon charts next week but who knows? I'm not closing my doors to other possibilities but the chance of said accomplishment will be 20-80, IMO.

5 Weird Things

sentiment: restless
harmony: "Kougousei" by Jyukai

Oh yes, here I go again after everything that happened to my miserable life. xD As much I want to make this a meme, ermm I don't think people will be interested in posting this in their journal or wheresoever.

Okay, what are the 5 weird things that I noticed around me (as in everywhere)?

1. It's weird that I can't seem to configure what's on my mind lately. Before I use the PC, I already plan what are the things I'm going to do but lately, I ended up not doing those plans that I made. x__X I admit I forgot the others but there's one thing that I can't forget yet I can't do for now --- making a new blog layout. XD *gets shot* Well, my mind's still confused on what theme I'll be doing this time. I can't seem to think any. *gets shot again*
2. Many people doesn't know how to spell my surname correctly. More or less 15% only of my acquaintances know how to spell it correctly. x__X Now how about that? XD My surname is too long but I don't know, I didn't have the hard time spelling it myself when I first learned to write. xD *gets splat by tomatoes*
3. I have been very in-touch with Wikipedia lately. o_o I don't know about this but my inner conscience told me, "Make C.G mix his own page article! NAOO! As in NAO!" xD And that's why I made it although it has only few informations about him. =(
4. I found myself speechless when my mother kept reminding me to do my thesis. xD
5. And lastly, I don't find myself anymore interested in studying lately. That's why when the others got much higher midterm grades than mine (I really mean much higher!), I'd say "I don't care, as long as I passed, then it should be okay!" XD Oh yes don't aim high! xP I even told them "Don't study! It'll destroy your mentality! So no to study!" *gets shot even more*

New Albums coming up

sentiment: excited! XD
harmony: "a piacere" by KOTOKO

It has just been announced at I've Sound forum that Mami Kawada and Eiko Shimamiya will be releasing their 2nd full albums this 2008! I thought so. XD As of now, there are still not much details available but all I know is that Mami Kawada's album will be released on March 26, 2008 and Eiko's album will be a week after, April 2, 2008. XD

Yay! After exactly 2 years, Mami Kawada will be releasing a new album. XD But I still don't know the album title. I hope it's something "attractive" to the ear and new to the eyes. xD Although I'm more excited for Mami Kawada, nonetheless, I'll still expect something for Eiko's album because as you know, she doesn't have much promotions lately. Last year, it was a bit drastic year for her because aside from little eroge theme songs to perform, she was only able to release one maxi single of her own which is Naraku no Hana. No more, no less. x__X And what's worse, it doesn't even have a PV nor a DVD edition containing it's PV. o_O

Wow I'll be more excited when March comes. xD KOTOKO's 11th single BLAZE (2nd Opening Theme for Shakugan no Shana II) is scheduled on March 12, 2008 which makes this the 2nd tie-in with Shakugan no Shana series. And take another note, being single was also released March 2006 which is a bit near to her upcoming single. Even Mami's SEED album, it was released 29th March, 2006 and her second album will be released 26th March. xD

It should be take noted that the catalog number for KOTOKO's BLAZE is now GNCV-0001 (for regular edition) and GNCV-0002 (for regular edition+DVD). Her last single was GNCA-0071/GNCA-0072. I don't know exactly what it means but it looks like Mami Kawada and Eiko Shimamiya's album catalog number will also start with GNCV, I think. xD

Not in the mood lately...

sentiment

: lazy
harmony: "cover link" by Eiko Shimamiya

My lazy alterego is striking up against me once again... And lately I wasn't much in the mood -- to study, to read my lessons, do my homeworks, etc. I don't know why but it's like I want to go hiatus at school although I know it's not possible... x__X I'm becoming lesser and lesser interested in attending class... Urrgghh I hate this! -___- But I'm feeling this... T.T

Or maybe I'm just too stressed? Or maybe there's something lacking in my life now? All I can say is, yes it lacks thrill, excitement and happiness specially when I'm at school. (- o -) *poor me* Well that's all I just ranted it out. Sorry for the very short entry. It looks like my blogging is a bit affected as well but I'll still post something in the near future. ^^, I'm just feeling blue these days... -__-

MEME again!

sentiment: craving for something
harmony: "La clef~Meikyuu no Kagi" by KOTOKO

Tagged by Cattleya-chan! :D

Rules of the meme:

1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

2. People who are tagged need to write a post on their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.

3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

---------------------

Eight Random Facts about the idiotic Fred_Itachi:

1. I'm trying my best to be a good singer. But it seems my voice is not cooperating with me. XD Well I've been practicing with Audacity these days but I'd say I'm not really improving. x___X *ehem*

2. Whether you believe it or not, my vital statistics is 27-25-30. I know people who will read this entry will find this ridiculous! XD *gets kicked in the ass*

3. And in coordination with #2, many girls hate are envious of my waist line. XP But what can I say? I'm already a certified PG (patay-gutom, glutton in English) and I can't understand why I am still this thin crust. XP

4. I can wait for 3 hours or so as long as these 2 things are met: 1. I have my mp3 player; or, 2. I have someone to talk to. XD

5. The current longest original song (meaning it's not a remix because most of the remix are really long, I tell you) in my Winamp playlist would be "Genesis of Next" by globe with a length of 9:28). Next would be Eiko Shimamiya's "O" (8:04).

6. I'm an I've Sound freak. I know most of the readers already know that. And right now, I'm struggling to complete Kotoko's oh-so-big discography... XD I'm still half-way though. x__X I already completed Mami, Kaori and MELL's discography and I'm almost done with Eiko as well.

7. I'm liking the california maki now! Especially the ones in Rai Rai Ken! XDD~ Maybe you're wondering why I didn't like it the first time? Well the first time I ate a california maki in Rai Rai Ken was just last week while me and my friends are having the script done for SA2. However, the real first time I ate the stuff was in our school and it tastes *spine-tingling then "ewww"*. So at that time, I decided not to eat maki forever and ever (Amen). But when I took a bite from the ones in Rai Rai Ken, it tastes good than the ones in our cafeteria before and I'm starting to crave for it. XD

8. The most accepted song that I uploaded at Gendou was MELL's "Virgin's high!". I uploaded 3 versions of it --- the TV size, original version, and the instrumental version. XD While the others, I ended up uploading only 1 or 2 because of these reasons --- I was either too late (and someone already uploaded it. XD) or it wasn't accepted by Gendou himself by an unknown reason. XD Whatever!! *gets flamed*

------------------------------

Well, I really don't know whom I will tag this time but everyone who has the time and wants to do this meme may do so. ^^; Sorry my brain is just so blank lately... -___-''

I'm so blind! WTF! >,<

I am pround of my 20/20 vision but I can't believe that I only noticed just now...

That the url of my webbie in the layout was scrambled! XD

Ah shiaatt... XP I'm so damn blind! Noticing only now. x___X''

If you'll notice, in my main webbie, ++ Flaming Ash ++, the url in the layout was spelled "tsiouku" instead of "tsuioku". XD Gaarrrsshhh I'm so blind. XDD And wrong timing, I noticed it here in the school!! O.O So errm, it looks like it'll be fixed later at night. Nemmeet! That's the disadvantage of having a very high screen resolution at home! =/

The House

lucky for you, this isn't the horror thingy. XD I just took the personality test, The House.

Well, I followed the instruction on making the house. Too bad, I don't have a scanner but I'm going to describe my drawing.

My house is alone and a big big one in the drawing. It has no fence. With one front door and 4 small windows with a cross -- 2 in the downstairs and upstairs. My bedroom is upstairs in the left window. I had a bit curvy walkway. I have a garden with trees and flowers on the right part. I drew a picture of myself -- just a small one. And here's the result:

Your house tells the world that you ought to be a leader. You are a freedom lover and a strong person.

You are shy and reserved. If you've drawn a cross on each of windows, you always want to live alone. You are very tidy person. There's nothing wrong with that because you're pretty popular among friends. You often come up with solutions to problems. Your life is always full of changes.

You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You always have plans on your mind. This might cause a lot of stress if things don't go the way you expect. You have a strong personality and you like to command, influence and control people.

You added a flower into your drawing. The flower signifies that you long for love. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.

---

Well kinda true (specially the bold statements/phrases). The last sentence struck me. XD I don't think much of myself -- my top priority is other people -- my friends on how I can help or serve them and I don't buy things for myself. I usually buy things that can be beneficial for me and my friends. And yes, I am a very shy, timid and reserved person. That I don't deny. XD

The Bonnie Pink Marathon

sentiment: LSS'd
harmony: "Free" by Bonnie Pink

I find myself getting purely addicted with Bonnie Pink again. XD I'm setting aside listening to I've Sound lately and have been listening to Bonnie Pink for a while now. I missed her songs and I hope she'll be able to release another single this 2008.

I'm getting LSS'd and relaxed with "Free", the one I'm listening to and I recommend it to Bonnie Pink prospects. XP Yesterday, I was in Bonnie Pink old school mode by listening to her old songs (which didn't made it to the Oricon accdg to my sources which is very sad) like Orange, Heaven's Kitchen, Do you crash?, and of course, the first song which made me familiar of her -- It's Gonna Rain!. Then eventually getting modern from Sleeping Child, Private Laughter, Last Kiss, So Wonderful, Cotton Candy, A Perfect Sky, Free, Water Me, and then Gimme a Beat. XD I'm the slightest fan of Bonnie Pink nee, nee? *with sarcasm*

But right now, I'm getting addicted with her Broken hearts, citylights and me just thinking out loud. XD Wooh, what a long title but it's cool. XD Courtesy of her Thinking Out Loud album.

She just look great in the album cover. Totally in love with it. XD Although the graphics are sort of vandal only but it's quite bubbly. XD

Highlight time. Statements in bold signifies that it's 90-100% correct about me.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

---

Oh wow... I had many true answers!! XD Although I don't know if I am really down-to-earth or not! You judge! XP The last question is very true! Yes, I am almost of the time genki but my mood swings sometimes get the best of me. -__- And yes, I am afraid of rejections and miserable failures. o_o I don't know why.

Cramming or Just Lazy?

sentiment: confused
harmony: "The Maze" by Mami Kawada

So what did I really do in the past few days? I said that I was cramming right? *shakes head* Oh yes I did cram but I still neglect abandon some of my works because maybe I didn't have much time to do it and besides it's just mine. Everybody would stab their dagger at me if I abandon on group works! They'll kill me for being so damn lazy. At least from what I did, I made sure that I won't "grease" on the names of others -- Just mine. XD *my bad, my bad*

So while I was meeting with cram, what do you know? I already have my WHEEL OF FOTUNE short ver. (please refer to the post before this one) and was able to conclude on some things about it. And here's the most exciting part for me -- I was able to have the RAGE (GMS Remix) mp3! XP Here it is.

RAGE (GMS Remix).m...

Too bad I still haven't found the RAGE. This was very hard to find because the artist here are labeled HARD STUFF featuring I've Diva. HARD STUFF is a group formed by Kazuya Takase and Tomoyuki Nakazawa while I've Diva is none other than Mami Kawada. XD *what a name but it sure is cool!*

And in the middle of cram, the moderator of the Musicians: Female category in TheFanlistings.org mailed me that the Mami Kawada fanlisting that I made was approved! So I hurriedly submitted the Finished Form then updated some stuffs in the Mami Kawada fansite. =D haha!

Ah well... even though I'm surely low on grades, at least I didn't regret on what I did. xP *get shot* haha! Whatever! Que sera sera!

The Wheel of Fate..erm, Fortune

sentiment: sleepy
harmony: "Wheel of Fortune (short ver.)" by Eiko Shimamiya

Get this widget Track details eSnips Social DNA

Actually I found this a few days ago but I can't find the right timing to post this because I was kinda busy with the game called "life". I have to deal friggin' loads of homeworks and case studies and I have to finish them that instant and I have to pull an all-nighter so that I could finish those. *sips coffee* And now is the last round of the all-nighter but I can't keep myself away from my blog so I'm gonna post it now.

And another trivia, how did I find this song? Since the information about this single rather difficult to decipher and availability of the song ranges from seldom to rare and yet I was able to find the song. xD I don't know maybe it's in my fortune to find this promo mini-single of Eiko Shimamiya. Interested in the pics/scans contained on it? View it but please don't direct link it.

I was just browsing the Chinese I've Sound forum (since I can't post in Chinese) and then I found a thread with this file on and grabbed the opportunity of downloading it. xD The song itself is by Eiko Shimamiya (Music & Arrangement c/o of Kazuya Takase) and it is used as the opening theme for Higurashi no Naku Koro ni live-action movie which will be released this year 2008 (but I still don't know the exact date). I also don't know the release of the Wheel of Fortune single, and Diorama, the ending theme has still no short version so I'll expect that this single will be out after a couple of months.

I like the entrance of the song as it fills the background with the heavy electric guitars just like JOINT, and Real Onigokko. Sounds a little tragic and sad, it's not as epic grandeur like Naraku no Hana but this may grow on me as I listen to it. I hope I'll be able to find some preview for Diorama as well. xD

Another batch of nice covers

sentiment: still cramming... xP *but I just can't get off my hands here*
harmony: "I'm Alive" by Ayana

Well... here I go again for cramming! xD But promise I'll make this fast... I'm just going to post these lovely single & album covers from Sachi Tainaka. xD

^ This one is the album cover for the DVD of Love is...
(I'm not sure if the regular and the DVD version of the album has the same covers so I'll be specific)

I know you've seen this before but now, I have now a higher resolution of the single cover for Sachi Tainaka's Visit of love. Her unique smile makes it more lovely than in her Lipstick/Ichiban Boshi single cover.

Well that's about it. I just got the chance to find the Love is... cover but the traclisting is yet to be available. x_X Next time! (again, as usual!) XD Again, the covers are courtesy of Amazon. Thank them! xD *I thank you*

harmony: "resolution of soul" by KOTOKO

Oopsy doodles, I never learn... I always take cramming as an option... and now, I am cramming again ever. x,X *oh sweet joy* I'm not in the mood in studying nowadays... Argh, I'm hopeless... x_X Tomorrow will be the start of my midterms exams and submissions of some of my projects and I only started a little. XD *banged* Again, I was occupied by "other" tasks that I am more willing to do rather than those pesky and boring projects of ours.

I remember last time, one of my prof told our class that "Cramming is not an option". Oh yeah, have to take note of that as long as I live... xD Because I don't follow such rules and regulations. xD *giggles* It's like my middle name is "cram". xD

Ahhh! I'm running out of time again... xD tomorrow will be the big day... have to work on... xD

harmony: "E-mail more" by Tommy february⁶

Wah!! I've had enough!! Why the heck did I know that Mami Kawada has two hidden songs? =/ I just read awhile ago in some forums! Ahh... I'm such a dork... they hid it in Verve-circle - Nature & DeNature album... x_x Actually it's just one song, but the other was is a remix... And it's not only very hidden but it's also very rare! x_X The songs are RAGE (this is not from the said album and I don't know where the heck will I find this! xP) and RAGE (GMS remix).

I tried searching for it but I ended up with non-free websites! If only I have an international credit card with some credits left ($0.18/track), I could've downloaded the full version (but I haven't! *_*). So I ended up downloading a trance "medley" with the RAGE (GMS remix) on it. The full version is 6:32 and yet the medley only scoped about 5:00 of the song!! Arrgghh, so frustrating! But the song was tremendously awesome trance! ~xDD and I immediately recognized her voice! I can't get enough... o,o How I wish I could find the RAGE as well but that will definitely give me a hard time. Oh well, I'll try looking for it next time. xD I don't give up easily. xD

01/23/08 - Visit of love

sentiment: excited
harmony: "Precious" by Mami Kawada

Ahh finally the covers are already available. Courtesy of her website. The covers are simple yet her face is outstanding... She still resembles BoA and her face is much alike from the cover of her previous single Lipstick/Ichiban Boshi. Scheduled to be released on January 23, 2008 and her 2nd album Love is... will be released two weeks after (February 13, 2008). Album cover is not up yet. Will post here if it's already up.

3. Visit of love -instrumental-
4. With ～春夏秋冬 -instrumental-

Well Visit of love isn't your most upbeat song track but surprisingly Sachi has been trying on different genres. As much as I want to record the preview in her website, it seems that the video preview is slow and not compatible with my computer but I watched a few. And I saw she was dancing with the other people there... And from what I hear (in the preview), it's a lightly upbeat song. Not something delightful to look forward but I think it'll grow up on me once I hear the long version.

Still looking forward for this single and the upcoming album. When I got the chance, I will post the preview.. ^^,
