Officially no more KuaiSky. I must admit, it was a very original name. However, this name does not reflect me anymore. It was a nice 2 years that it lasted (I usually have a name change every year or so, but kuaiSky lasted the longest). Well I am off with a new start~ kyohei. You all have probably not seen the full image of ‘just another rainy day’ that I made myself.

I have noticed that been listening to 10000x more Japanese music lately than normal. I guess during the korean music slump I have found some really good Japanese music that I like. I have always been fascinated by the Japanese language, as it just SOUNDS so good. Having the poetic japanese language in my music just increases my enjoyment. It is not that I have abandoned Korean music -not at all-, but I have increased my breadth of enjoyable music to my ears. Everyone likes to find new music that they like.

Some of the artists that I have found have good beats (they use more beats and instruments than the -usual- Korean r&b beats).
BoA – I have been listening to her for a long time, but more so recently. Her Japanese albums are so good. In her recent (leaked – I could not help myself T.T) album, my favorite new song is ‘ギャップにやられた!’ {Victim of Fear!}.
Jyongri – a zainichi [koreans who live in japan] or least part zainichi. She has Korean heritage, but she speaks Japanese and English. Her style is kind of like upbeat pop. I recommend ‘Kissing Me’ or ‘Romeo & Juliet’.
NEWS – Their songs are upbeat, but I can only take so much. I like a few select songs, but those select songs are really good. I recommend ‘Taiyou no Namida’ or ‘Sayaendou’.
Tohoshinki – What else should I say? I have been introduced to them, and glad I have been. I cannot wait for Junsu’s single ‘Rainy Night’.

This movie attempts to break the barrier between Korean and Japanese barriers with an all star cast of Lee JunKi and Aoi Miyazaki. There is a love story between two people who do not even understand each others’ language. The theme of language serves as an important theme outlining each others’ desire to learn more about each other.
The story follows along as many other asian love stories. It tries to touch upon what viewers expect from a sweet love story without bringing much originality into it. Overall I thought it was effective, but needed a stronger push. Of course no movie could be perfect! So if you watch it for what it is ~ another love story ~ I am sure you’ll be delighted. Aoi Miyazaki’s smile makes me happy.

I love piano movies with a passion no matter what faults the movie may have. They incite a certain false reality where I flow upon a lake absorbing the melody and emotions felt. I move along the ~score ~of~ notes~. I personally rate this as one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it as well. Thanks to Reika no Rakuen for introducing me to this Japanese movie. Also, I enjoyed “Secret I Cannot Tell” as well. In the movie is Matsuyama Kenichi [L in Death Note] and Narumi Riko [1 Litre of Tears drama].
You can watch it streaming on aznVtv or CrunchyRoll.

Others:
Jay Chou – 回到过去 [Hui Dao Guo Qu] {Return to the Past}
David Tao + Jolin Tsai – [今天妳要嫁给我] {Marry Me Today}
Fahrenheit – 新窩 [Xin Wo] {New Home} ft. SHE
Khalil Fong [方大同] – Gou Bu Gou [夠不夠] {To reach?}

Both of these songs are soo sweet. I could listen to them forever~ She is so beautiful on the cover as always. In ‘be with you’, I love it when she says ‘chaldo’.

01- be with you
02- precious

I saw the really sad [mv] for ‘To Some Degree of Love.” I do not know, but coincidences or whatever you may call it are so sad. Two people who had loved each other walk pass each other…the situation is so tense. Then they just walk away. At the end, when both of them come running back, it is just nice.

A long time since I had last posted! I spend too much time on ~other~ blogs that I barely have enough time to update my own. Well I got an idea to make another of these.
Strangely, I am starting to get more into Japanese music. Usually my favorite albums are in Korean, but only 1/4 is. Read on ahead if you’re interested in my thoughts.
Tohoshinki [東方神起] – Purple Line :This is the track that propelled me into the world of DBSK/DBSG/TVXQ/Tohoshinki/Yunho,Changmin,Jaejoong, YooChun,JunSu (YES I remembered all their names and nicknames, Am I a fan-guy now?Or shall I keep naming ~U-Know,Max,Hero,Micky,Xiah~) -I’ll make a blog about them later

Wang LeeHom [王力宏] – Change Me [改变自己] :What is there not to love about LeeHom. On any blog asking “Who is your hero?”, guess who I would put? He is a genius, cares about the environment and the world, lives like a minimalist, puts passion into his composition, and has voice of perfection. He moved away from his ‘Chink-ed Out’ genre to an undefinable genre that is LeeHom. (Actually it is hard to define. Probably a mix of pop and ballad; it just sounds nice and the lyrics are very good as well.) The only song I don’t really like, but listen to anyway, is “Cockney Girl”.

Tim – Love Is… :I definitely like his voice and the album is totally recommended for its upbeat and mostly ballad songs. Track 05, ‘To Some Degree of Love,” and its [mv] are really good, however, I like every song of the album. he is most known by his ever popular song from his first album, “I Love You.” I like that song as well. I am currently trying out his previous albums.

BoA – Made in Twenty (20) :Although it is not a recent release, I still really like this album. It is another of those rare albums where you love every song. BoA’s Japanese music is much better than her Korean music.
