My pick!: Top Jpop songs of 2009 (Favorites edition)
Wednesday, November 25, 2009
I won't lie - I'm the worst Jpop fan this year. Hence this year, this top whatever list is really really hard to compile. To compensate, I've decided to take out all the songs from my favorite artists so that you get better recommendations instead of a really biased list.
(Honestly though, it was because all the following 15 songs made it to my top 30 list, which made it look really lame. I like my lists professional, not just a favoritism game.)
My favorite artists if you didn't know by now are AAA (surprise surprise you haters, I still love them, get off my case already), Hirai Ken (I want to have his babies and drink his bathwater) and the "newcomer" Big Bang (TAEYANG TAEYANG TAEYANG). Hence this list has only songs from these artists. Next week's list will be the actual top Jpop songs list, without any of these artists.
I think I just confused myself.
Anyways, that is not to say these songs are not good, because they are. They're so good that they got into a list of their own. So go listen.
Number 15: AAA - HORIZON
It's a typical AAA feel-good song - memorable melody, uncomplicated vocals, bubbly and happy. Yet there's an element of strange to it that makes it different from other Jpop songs. Or other AAA songs that is. It kind of feels like a nice day out shopping with a few friends - just some lighthearted fun.
Number 14: Big Bang - My Heaven
Part of the reason why this song didn't rank higher is because it came out in Korean before, so it's not exactly the freshest of songs. And even when it came out in Korean, it took me quite a while to get used to it. It's a ballad for sure, but it is very different from the typical Jpop ballad. It's kind of like if you took a ballad and smashed it hard against a dance track and throw in some club beats just for the heck of it. The chorus is really really good though so the song as a whole came out pretty well. It's kind of hard to explain to just listen to it and you'd probably know what I mean.
Number 13: AAA - Wonderful Girls
This was what I wrote when I first reviewed this song:
One of the first impressions I got from this song is that it is very SMAP-esque. SMAP could have been singing this 5 or 6 years ago when they were younger. Relatively safe pop stuff. The kind that the audience claps along to somewhere in the middle of the concert.
And I stand by this still. Being safe is a good thing sometimes, this might be one of the sometimes.
Number 12: Big Bang - Emotion
Cool, chill music for those days when you don't want too much going on. It's strangely sexy to me - a song I can see myself having hot sex too. But that's just me.
Number 11: Big Bang - Follow Me
This song is incredibly catchy. The lyrics are simple and repeated constantly and when you add that to a strong beat you have a party pleaser. Shout along to it, dance the night away with it and you'd be better for it. Do not overuse it though, the repetitiveness of the song is a double-edged sword - it might get boring after a while.
Number 10: Saihuun (AAA) - Break Your name
This was the song that I thought would bring AAA back to being awesome. The preview was very well done, and the choreography was amazing. But it fell slightly short of that expectation in the end. It's still a very decent dance-pop track though, very similar to many other AAA dance tracks so AAA fans will definitely enjoy this one.
Number 9: Hirai Ken - Furusa Saiida
When you first hear this track, you will think I have gone out of my mind for putting this song in this list. But trust me, give it a few tries before judging it. I don't know what it is really, perhaps the bellydancing ethnic cracktasticness of it all is what makes it so epic to me. Curious yet? GO LISTEN. I can guarantee the chorus will be stuck in your head for a long time to come, whether you like it or not.
Number 8: AAA - Jamboree!!
BRIGHT AND HAPPY! YAY! And we all know AAA does happy well. They have freaking sparkles coming out of their asses or something. This is downright sugary pop so you can be assured that you'll feel happier after listening to this (or irritated greatly, if you're not into this kind of thing). It's one of the safer AAA songs to be honest, but it holds its own.
Number 7: AAA - Summer Revolution
The girl's one-third of the triple-A side triple A single (HAHA I am so funny) Break Down. I've been told it sounds like TRF but to me it sounds like GIRL NEXT DOOR done right. Very electronic stuff without too much vocoded vocals. Power pop if you may, this song has the girls in their element and is one of the best (if not the best) girls-only song AAA has ever come out with.
Number 6: Big Bang - Top of the World
Another strong Big Bang club-ish song, the oddly emotional chorus is what makes the song. And whoever sang "it's getting hot" made me very hot. Yum. Made up of mostly electronic beats and very little of anything else, Big Bang's vocals are surprisingly not altered too much so it's a good show of their vocal prowess as well. It's not overly upbeat or depressing so it's the perfect song to chill to without getting your mood down.
Number 5: Big Bang - Bringing You Love
Electronically altered voices and beats give this midtempo number a distinct Big Bang feel to it.
Number 4: Big Bang - Koe wo Kikasete
It's smooth, has lots of buildup to an epic chorus. It's the perfect winter song - sentimental, sad, ballady, emotional and all sorts of lovey-dovey things. It's bittersweet and like the perfect romance that wasn't meant to be. Go listen and feel like you're in love. With 5 impossibly good-looking guys.
Number 3: Big Bang - Ora Yeah!
I think I fell in love with this song right from the start - T.O.P's quirky rap paved the way for a really fun song. Usual Big Bang stuff to be expected - catchy beat, repetitive simple easy-to-follow lyrics, lots of spunk and attitude. Overall awesomeness.
Number 2: Hirai Ken - Boku wa Kimi ni Koi wo Suru
The meaning of this song is essentially "I will fall in love with you". Can you see why I love this yet?
This is such an epic song because it is so impossibly dramatic and sad - like all good Hirai Ken ballads are. The PV for this song had him shouting and singing from a mountaintop, that should give you an idea of how dramatic this song is.
But really, when it comes down to it, the song is simple and sweet and yet so heartbreakingly sad. It talks of a really selfless love so yeah, don't blame me for being such a mushy pile of goo when talking about this song.
Search for the translation of this song on Youtube. Then you will know what the hell I'm blabbering about.
Number 1: Big Bang - GARA GARA GO!!
I've yet to meet anyone who hates this song. You may not like it at first, but trust me, you WILL fall deeply in love with it. A little electronica, a little house, a little dance, a little techno, a little pop and out comes one very epic song. The beat is brisk and very rapid, perfect if you need some cheering up without having to resort to the ghey of bubblegum pop. Classic Big Bang shoutouts like "oh eh oh!" and "B-I-G to the BANG" adds so much fun to an otherwise very macho-sexy song.
I can't rave enough about this song, you'd just have to take my word for it and just go listen to this.
To make your life easier, I've uploaded all 15 songs on this list to Mediafire for you guys to download (they're all tagged properly already, since I'm anal like that). This also means that I really hope you guys will take the time and effort to go through each song and let me know whether you agree with me on this selection or not!
Leave me comments on what you think of the songs. I'm terrible with song reviewing so it'd be great to hear some fresh (and non-overused vocabulary) opinions! :D
Next week, we begin the real Jpop songs countdown! :D Any guesses yet?
There's been a lot of shocking things that have happened in my life that have affected me somewhat (you would know if you followed me on Twitter) so please forgive me if I'm not inclined to blog as of late.
Anyways, from time to time, I receive strange questions that I really really don't understand. That makes me suspect that my readers are on crack. Which would explain why you guys read my blog.
So here are some questions that really make me go "WTF" but I'll still answer them anyways because I love you guys so. :D
feelings on cheese? ._.
What I don't get about this question is how it affects you after knowing my opinion on cheese. I mean, so what if I hate it? So what if I love it? So what if the stringy-ness of hot cheese reminds me of some other substance? So what if I want to take a piece of swiss cheese and stick my dick in it?
Which I don't by the way. *coughs*
So anyways, yes I love cheese. Cheese when added to virtually any western food instantly makes those food so so so much better. I hope you'll sleep better with that knowledge.
nich khun is the best thog that ever happened :D. what race is he
Firstly, "thog"?
And secondly, since when did my blog become a game show? If you need answers to these kinds of questions, shouldn't you be going to wikipedia instead of having to wait months for my very sarcastic answer?
I mean, the internet is there for a reason after all right? Other than porn? And shipping women from third-world countries to be our brides?
*coughs even harder*
So the answer is Thai. He's Thai, or so I'm inclined to think. Did I get it right? Did I win some money?
RAID. its monday night, and i keep thinking tomorrows saturday. what is wrong with me? HUH.
And now we get the strange psychiatric-help kinds of questions. I honestly prefer receiving these kinds of questions because I get to give warped answers and screw up someone's life indefinitely. *cue evil laugh*
Well my dear (since psychiatrists use "my dear" a lot right? Or am I just being creepy?), it seems like you hate whatever you're doing in your life right now so your body subconsciously conditions you to think that you're further along in the week than you really are.
What you should do is sell all your belongings, and travel the world as a busker. You will lose track of time and therefore this problem won't be a problem that you can envision anymore.
Oh and donate half of your monies to me. Since, you know, I changed your life for the better and all.
Why do you Jin and Kame from KAT-TUN
Because you and me and they. You know?
Hi raid,
Do you think avex should make Misako should step back and let chiaki sings female lead in AAA? I'm sick of Misako's cheap dresses!!
See, here's the strange thing. If Misako were to step back and let Chiaki take the lead, then it should be because her voice isn't good enough right?
Well apparently, cheap dresses are a bigger consideration than voices. So yes why not. Misako steps back and lets Chiaki with the slightly better dresses sing and ruin the group even more with her really raw vocals. I'm sure that's going to help.
IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME?!
... If that's how you people talk about your fetishes these days, then please leave me out of it. Kthxbai.
And as usual, please leave me loads of inappropriate questions about my personal life. You know you want to. :D
No I'm kidding. You do know that right?

Also, I was thinking of opening a movie review blog. Would anyone read my movie reviews? Like Hollywood movies and the like? Let me know if you think it's a good idea in the comments. And give me some recommendations of romance comedies to watch! Though I'm quite sure I've watched them all.
And if it involves Matthew McConaughey, please don't bother. All his movies are really bad. *barfs*
That was probably the hottest 40-ish seconds of your week. Have fun.
[Side note]
I find it mildly ironic that in the 2 years that I went ALL OUT for AAA, they were disappointing, disappointing and more disappointing.
And then once I've given up on them, they release a single with decent sales (Break Down with 49k+ sold), Urata comes out with decent hair (finally), they released an Uchiwa at a-nation '09 (something I've ALWAYS wanted as an AAA good) and they release a calendar that is bright and colorful (which you guys should know by now that I LOVE) which has this page in it:
Also, AAA has miraculously managed to appear on an upcoming episode of Music Station, something I was convinced would never happen in my lifetime.
Needless to say, I am quite convinced that someone in Avex is reading my blog and hates my guts. Well, SCREW YOU AVEX. You can kiss my AAASS.
Yes, this week's Q4R is all about the old issues that I've procrastinated on for too long and thus they've become impossibly irrelevant.
So here they are! (A lot of them! Be very glad!)
Have any snarky comments on Namie Amuro's WILD PV?
Sorry to disappoint you woman, but there's no wind in outer space. Unless that is some beach in which I ask "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH A SHINY GOWN ON A BEACH AT NIGHT?!"
Jpop PVs really make no sense a lot of the time.
im watching 'we got married', starting on the episode kangin came in at. ANYWAY. can you just explain it to me, what determines the couple's break up? like they just randomly have it one day!? O.O
I have no fucking idea. I gave up when they took out Andy and Solbi because after that the show just went downhill super quickly.
"CHOMP CHOMP I WANT YOUR TEEFS."
You HAVE to love Ayu's Next Level right??!! It's AMAZING!!!!
No not really. If you took out all the singles and the rubbish interludes, all that's left behind sounds like a smashed up robot, an emotionless woman in the background and one very amateur producer. The album reeks of digital unprofessionalism to me. It sounds flat on all counts.
Did you hear? Someone tried to kill koda kumi! What's your theory to explain this situation? And who do you think would replace ku-chan if she disappeared from the J-pop world.
When I first heard this piece of news, I thought it was really insanely hilarious.
"Must have been one of those crazy menopausal, rotting-uterus women she insulted the year earlier!"
And I subsequently gave it not much thought. Though in retrospect, she probably was asking for it with her lyrics in "Juicy":
Kill me nowOoh tsurete itte Yoru wo koeAkete mo sono mamaKill me tonightAfure dasu atsui BOOSHON
So perhaps it was just an overzealous fan trying to grant her her wish. *shrugs*
And how dare you ask such a question! NO ONE REPLACES KUMI! ...except maybe Hirai Ken? 8D You know he's going to be fierce in those heels. *nods furiously*
Come on, you must think Mika Nakashima looks pretty in the PV for Over Load, right? :P
She looks ordinary I guess, which is a step up from freaky, so yeah good job Mika!
Though really, her hair looks like it's going to coil around her neck and kill her in that first picture. Eeks.
i cant stand maru's (k8) voice. make him shut up. please.
oh, and tell taemin to stop perming his hair. It looks better straight. a lot better. LOL.
LOL. and while you're at it, tell key to buy a new wig. His blonde hair looks gross. yuck.
... not that yesungs hair is much better. o.o skunk ?
Er okay. SHINee boys (and Maru), you heard the guy/girl/anonymous person.
OHMAIGOD
Have you seen all the talk going down at jpopmusic RE Roma Tanaka?
You know what the interesting thing about this issue is?
It's the fact that referrals to my Tanaka Roma is gay post increased exponentially after this incident exploded. And basically my blog became the official gay source of Roma. Marvelous.
Well after reading all the crap hurled at him, I must say that I'm quite amused AND slightly surprised as well. Who knew he liked such kinky stuff? He looks like the typical gay gym bunny who goes home and whines to his boyfriend about how tough life is before having whiny moany sex in the living room.
I guess it's essentially the same except you switch the whining and moaning out for screaming and yelling in pain. *shrugs*
(P.S: The url provided in the comment is basically useless now, with all the incriminating stuff removed. However, if you google hard enough, you'd be able to find something interesting eventually.)
who did it better:
yesung or massu (hair)
Because there wasn't any photo attached, I honestly have no idea what you're talking about.
So I did a search and assumed you're talking about these hairstyles:
In which I would say I really don't know. Probably Masuda cos I'm more used to seeing his hair like that. Yesung looks like he has trouble with his eyes with his hair like that.
(Also, the show of skin makes me biased, slurp.)
(Also, I think I'm using the wrong photos. The hairstyles in no way look similar. Hm.)
What do you think of Naoya Urata's recent karaoke night with JaeJoong and Micky from Toho??
I think he looks like a wannabe. Like "YAY LOOK AT ME I'M WITH THESE HOT YOUNG DUDES ARE YOU JEALOUS YET HAHAHAHA."
He looks old to begin with (not that old isn't sexy, because in many instances it is, though this probably isn't one of them), and going out with younger guys is really not helping his situation. And his arms look really... untrained.
I mean, he looks like a homeless hobo next to Jaejoong. Hm.
What's your thoughts on the whole Jay Bum thing?
Two words: Jay Park. What do you think about the whole damned affair? D:<
These are really random questions, but I've really enjoyed reading your opinions on celebrities and the sort. Anyway, have you heard of the recent controversy regarding 2PM's Jaebeom and his myspace comments? If so, what do you think of the current situation ? How do you think it will impact the fan culture in Korea (if at all)?
jays leaving 2pm. im at a state of depression. thoughts?
Ok so I've probably held off on giving my opinion on this for too long (though this is the "latest" issue of the lot).
I really don't understand Korean netizens. Firstly they give him loads of shit about an issue that is SO SO SO OLD.
Which is fine of course, if that's the way you want to play it. OF COURSE the guy would feel compelled to leave his group right?
So he fulfills their wishes in leaving the group (and heck, even leaving Korea) and then they go ballistic and say "nuuu we want you back".
Make up your fucking mind bitches.
Think about the whole situation from HIS point of view. If you said something horrible about the country you're currently residing in (and are insanely popular in) and the WHOLE COUNTRY knows about what you think of them, wouldn't you want to get away from it all as well?
I mean, how can one live life with weird looks every single day. Everyone's going to know what you once thought of them in the distant past. And even if they don't give it much thought, I think I would be real paranoid and start becoming overly cautious and wary of the people around me. Which is not a way to live at all.
Basically it means that Korea is a place where he would feel terrible in now.
And yet these "fans" want to force him to come back to a place which gives him so much shame and hurt? What the hell is wrong with them? Boycotting the other members of 2PM? Is that what Jaebeom would have wanted?
Seriously, this is why people have a bad impression on fans - because of these impossibly childish and moronic fans who shoot off their mouths and do things without thinking.
You know, you chased him out. He doesn't want to come back. Get over it. Learn your fucking lesson and shut the fuck up next time.

FINALLY DONE WITH THIS WEEK'S Q4R! D: It took quite a bit of work to get this out so LEAVE ME TONS OF COMMENTS SAYING HOW MUCH YOU DISAGREE WITH ME OKAYS. xD (You guys always seem to disagree with me when I have a strong opinion. LOL.)
As usual, if you have a question for me (really few questions now! I need more!) drop me a comment using the button below!
Also, please nominate Jpop songs to be in the Raid My Minibar top 30 list this year! Click here!
(And OMG I'M ON TIME THIS WEEK! I thought it was Thursday and I was already late! :O Well I guess all the better for you guys then? xD)
Q4R #018: Strange selection of questions... Hmm...
Wednesday, August 5, 2009
I'm trying to get my blogging life back in order but I'm guessing it's going to be a while before that will happen. My internship ends in 2 months though, so by then everything will be normal. Hopefully.
What are some of your favorite single/album covers? (And do you answer every question people ask you?)
Well, my favorite single cover is probably this:
Hirai Ken - Bye My Melody
Firstly, the colors are not glaring and scary, so that's a good start. Then the whole double meaning of the cover is epic. One represents him being a dove with an olive branch bringing news of peace flying over a rainbow (read the bible if you don't know what I'm talking about, you sinner!) and the other represents him... well, being very gay.
What's not to love?
And this is probably my favorite album cover:
Yonekura Toshinori - sang my thang
Once again, what's not to love? A sexy guy with ripped clothes and paint? THINK OF THE AWESOME FANTASIES!
And just so you're wondering, yes I aim to answer every question asked. I'm trying to clear some of the older ones which is so hard considering the context is totally gone (due to time sensitivity and all that about some of the questions asked) so I'm just stuck here blindly grabbing anything I can answer.
I know that didn't make sense but you guys should really get used to it by now.
Since Alex from ONE OK ROCK was arrested for groping, would you let him grope you? Please do consider the fact that he is gorgeous.
CAN I GROPE HIM INSTEAD PLEASE?
That person who called the cops on him must have been just really sexually frustrated, and got even more so when he just wanted to grope her and not do anything else.
I can just imagine her grabbing his hair and screaming in a monstrous hoarse voice: "WHY. WON'T. YOU. FUCK. ME?!"
I saw this, "I am Raid, your next president." and it made me wonder, what would you do as president?
Depends on which country. If I were the president of Japan, I'd seize all the entertainment companies and then I'll HAVE POWER OVER ALL OF JPOP MUAHAHA.
Then I'd fire KAT-TUN and retire Hamasaki Ayumi and get Nakashima Mika's mental health checked.
(And have loads of sexytime with Kenken and Urapapa and Shuuchan and ARGH THE POSSIBILITIES.)
You just made me very sexually frustrated with this question. TSK.
Thoughts on the mysterious expansion of EXILE?
Mass orgies ftw.
(The other guys are fugly, but I guess in orgies all that matters is that there are more hands and happystuff to go around. And more sounds of course.)
Based on your Twittery article, what do you think would happen if Koda Kumi, Ken-ken and Ayumi got into a threesome? 8D
Kenken would demand a round bed with fluffy pillows. Kumi would want loads of leather which frustrates Kenken because it doesn't match the fluffy pillows. Ayumi just sits at the corner worrying about her fake eyelashes and breaking her nails.
Happy --th Birthday!!
Thanks! I'm 176 this year. I know, I'm so young right? Sigh. They won't let me die till I'm 977! D:
How do you know Leandro Okabe?
He used to be my husband. How else do you think I got these pictures of him? Through a porn site? Ha ha ha ha ha. *cough*
LOL
I'm running.
But seriously, what the hell? This is such a poorly photoshopped picture (look at her very deformed left thigh, not to mention the MS-paint-esque words) and it's really not sexy at all so I don't get it at all.
Uy?
And yet another picture I have no idea what to say for. I mean, ok, there a guy showering and a cross but like so what? Do you guys expect me to say something funny about this when it's so... dull? I'm not THAT amazing you know?
Kay, so another question. If you were to choose 4 famous Asian guys to be part of an electric quartet, who would you choose? (assuming that when it comes to technical skills, they're all pretty equal)
And I'm going to be very blunt and tell you that I don't care, and probably none of the other readers care.
Electric quartet? Why can't I form a porno company instead?
As usual, questions for the upcoming weeks are very welcome. But guys, please help me out here? I know you guys like me better when I'm funny, but I can't be funny when I get really dull questions that don't allow me to be funny. I just used funny 3 times in that sentence, my English capabilities are declining sharply.
Anyways, click on the button to ask me a question! :D
Remember that post that caused a lot of people to be unhappy with me a long long time ago? The one where I mentioned things I disliked about Jpop?
Well, this post is essentially about one of the points. Except now this point extends to out of Jpop as well, considering the topic relates to Kpop and whatever else pop fans as well.
I hate stupid fans.
In my previous post, I said:
Many many people have gotten SO angry at me for saying something bad about their favorite stars. What does it matter to you? Will you get anything out of defending them? Will not defending them cause them to die or something? No. So get over yourself and your silly act and take my comments with a pinch of salt....
... So what if you hate them, it doesn't concern me. So what if I hate a certain star? It definitely doesn't concern you. Stop being so posessive of your idols, you don't own them.
Well, if you noticed in another one of my previous posts, one of the most lovely commenters I've ever had said this:
Can anyone say AAA hater?
I can't see your point at all and think you're lame.
To which I replied:
Yeah yeah fuck you. You should go through my blog carefully before saying I'm an AAA hater. I'm probably a bigger fan of them than you'll ever be, so please bring your ignorance and self-importance somewhere else where you're more significant. Perhaps that fast food joint near your house? Have fun.
When I received a reply from this anonymous person AGAIN one day later, I safely assume that this person has no life. I mean he(she/it) comes back to a blog he(she/it) obviously disagrees with and frowns upon just to see whether I have anything to say to their comments!
Who's the lame one now.
Anyways, their reply was:
Really? Because the fact of the matter is, I love AAA so much the way they are that, unlike SOME people, I'm not determined to have any one of them (Nishijima) leave. And since when does a fan of AAA make fun of every little thing they can, be it over costumes or looks or whatever?
I could understand if you were pointing out one thing that you thought was silly, but you just full-on diss them. Doesn't sound like a fan to me. And certainly not one who likes AAA more than I do.
Anyway, there's no fast food joint near my house, but if one does appear anytime soon, I'll be sure to let them know that you predicted their opening, since you're THAT amazing. Obviously.
I honestly LOLed in real life when I read this, because if you just throw away all your common sense for one second, it sounds like a really logical argument!
But only it isn't.
I mean, here is a person, who is anonymous, who has not proven themselves in ANY way to be a fan (except through their exclamation of love and all that boring rubbish, on MY blog), saying they are a bigger fan of AAA than I am!
So let's dissect this shall we?
Really? Because the fact of the matter is, I love AAA so much the way they are that, unlike SOME people, I'm not determined to have any one of them (Nishijima) leave.
Well. How do I make this simpler to understand for someone who lacks logic like you...
Hmm.
Ok, let's say, I'm a HUGE fan of cheeseburgers. Except I hate pickles a lot. So I like my cheeseburger without the pickles. Many people have seen me eating cheeseburgers. Even if it is without the pickles.
You, claim to LOVE cheeseburgers as they are, pickles and all, yet no one has seen you eat one.
Am I still the lesser fan? If you only hate one part of the main thing, does is really make a difference?
Nishijima is a pickle. I want to pick him out and throw him away. Deal with it.
And since when does a fan of AAA make fun of every little thing they can, be it over costumes or looks or whatever?
I could understand if you were pointing out one thing that you thought was silly, but you just full-on diss them. Doesn't sound like a fan to me. And certainly not one who likes AAA more than I do.
Let's see. Firstly, I'm not dissing EVERYTHING. It's still pretty much undeniable that they sing much better than most of JE, and dance better than most of JE. I'm only dissing how they look in this set of photos, which I'm sure many people would agree with me, looks ridiculous.
Secondly, I'm going to paraphrase something that my favorite AAA fan Mandy has said once on the A'dAA forums - it is only fair for fans to hold their idols to the standards set by the idols themselves initially.
AAA used to be good, and I pretty much evangelized about their awesomeness on my blog for the longest time.
Yet it seems you, big fan as you claim you are, didn't give a crap to leave a comment to show your support for my very uphill battle.
But when they started getting horrible, which they did, I naturally was unhappy about it. And then 2009 came along and they just pretty much went to crap.
So, I express my opinion about it, though admittedly in a rather caustic and sarcastic manner. What has my opinion got to do with you? Why does you not seeing my point make me lame?
In fact, I think you not getting my point makes YOU lame.
And also, you're only commenting when I mention something bad about them? You know what you're doing? You're just taking my opinion, telling me it's wrong, and then not giving me a proper reason as to why it's wrong.
And then you go feel good about yourself for it. For "defending" your favorite group. You know what? Your fandom is lazy and doesn't benefit anyone at all. I don't see how that can be constituted as being a bigger fan than I am.
Imagine this. A professor who teaches Shakespeare says that... I don't know, Romeo and Juliet is Shakespeare's WORST work because it is flawed in this way and that way.
And then out of nowhere, I just go to him and say "OMG YOU SED SHAKEPEARE SUCK! SHAKESPEARE NO SUCK YOU SUCK! YOU DUN DESERVE TO TEACH SHAKESPEARE."
Yeah, that's kind of how you sound like to me, that is, retarded and annoying.
You know what else you are? You're a blind fan. Or you have really bad taste.
You claim to "love AAA so much the way they are". Like really? Even them coming out with crap is acceptable for you? Do you not have opinions about what kind of music you like or the kind of aesthetics you like and what you don't? Do you need an idol group to tell you what to like? How pathetic are you?
And if you just "happen" to like everything they come out with, then you really change your liking pretty damned quickly. You'd probably be able to survive in a war or something since you'd be able to learn to appreciate eating crap or dirt or something (that is, if AAA tells you to of course, or cooks it.... or makes it). Which makes me oh so sad since while in the really violent war, I'll know at the back of my head that somewhere somehow, someone so much less intelligent than I am is still alive. That and the fact that it's a really violent war of course.
I will admit though that I was wrong about one thing in that AAA post though, and it was about Hidaka:
And the netted top with an undershirt with FAKE ABS SHADOWS? HOW SAD IS THAT?
I noticed once that you said you liked Lady Gaga's Just Dance.. I'm a big fan of hers and do you have any thoughts on her other songs? (totally random question i know)
Dear Raidy-chu, I forgot to include this in a question I just asked, but~ What is your favorite Perfume song? Also, what is your favorite Perfume PV? AND, which Perfume song would you like to see performed live?
What do you think of Girl Next Door's new single, 'Infinity' (song + PV)? WOHO-WHOA ;P
How about your second favorite AAA song of all time?
SHINee's Juliette is on the video thing(great taste by the way XD)!! What did you think of Romeo?
i hate you vs again & again
Arashi is releasing so many singles. It's great and all (since they are all doing well) but like, tell Johnny to let us refill out wallets first! D: thoughts? ou, and how did arashi get THIS popular so suddenly. (they were just an avrg JE group -as far as sales- until 2008.)
Fire- 2NE1?
Lick me?
... koda kumi. what were you thinking?
unless.. *smirk*
approve of teppeis new song?
what was the second vid on your playlist suppose to be...
arashi's everything?
tegomass gone country? LMAOLMAO.
... and I think I also answered this question. So yay for you!
when you speak english, do you have some sort of accent?
Leave a comment and tell me how I sound!
(I know I sound bad but just humor me.)
(And forgive me for really erratic updates. Work sucks.)
It's been a LONG while since I've last posted something that didn't relate to Q4R or SQS. Much due to work, as I've already explained to death.
Anyways, you guys should know about my bold declaration that I think AAA is going to break up. Well, my theory might be wrong but either way, AAA is no longer going to be the AAA of the past. Even if they DO remain and not "break up", I think they'd be doing different things on their own and have practically no relation to each other until they release a single or album or have a concert.
Much like how Tackey & Tsubasa works.
So yes, the old AAA that we love is gone and will never come back. So everyone, meet the new AAA:
I think the concept they were going for is.... disasters and eyeliners.
And yes, there are solo shots for us to make fun of so YAY! I'm also helping them think of new nicknames, since they're like going to be "all-new" and stuff. And I'm trying not to be too original since Jpop isn't too fond of original anyways.
[Nishijima Takahiro aka ANTI (Geddit? NT? HAHA. I'm so smart.)]
*Gets hypnotized by his shirt*
..... Woah.
Anyways, why do they always have to make him look plastic and stoned? Is that really sexy?
Oh wait, I think that's why they think blow up dolls are sexy... Maybe I'm just been misguided all this while. Hmm.
The nude lipstick is not helping matters either. The eyeliner is making his eyes look HUGE, kind of like Furby...
Furby
Too freaky.
[Urata Naoya aka NOW]
Well, I'm not sure what to put my attention on first. Is it the leather half gloves? Is it that huge button on his right sleeve? Or perhaps it's his stringy disheveled hair.
Meanwhile, my senses are being distracted by how untoned his chest is (come on, if you want to show it off, at least have SOMETHING to show off) and his very sad eyebags. Yes, spend all the photoshop money on ANTI, let the old guy look old. Who cares anyways?
And is that a ROMPER he is wearing?
Yes, I had to censor the picture a bit. Her bits were rather... clingy to the romper.
Anyways, A ROMPER? ONLY GIRLS (and babies, and baby girls) WEAR ROMPERS. NOT NEARING MIDDLE-AGED MEN (or young men who look like they're nearing middle-aged).
I wonder how complicated is his new persona going to be. "Oh hey everyone, I'm NOW and that means I live in the now. I know, I'm so cool and all. But I'm so tired of life and I have so much problems and the only way I can get rid of my problems is through leather and S&M and crossdressing like a young girl."
Hmm, I think I like the new him already. *nods*
[Uno Misako aka MISS]
"HI EVERYONE! I'm MISS and... *left boob balloon bursts* OH FUCK. I mean, oh darn. TEEHEE. Look at my right boobie please? Not enough for you? OH OKAY HERE'S MY LEFT ARMPIT TOO. *pouts*"
Lopsided boobs will definitely catch the attention of those right-boob-fetishists. [Hidaka Mitsuhiro aka HERO]
Honestly, I dropped my jaw and gaped at this catastrophe for about 20 seconds before I could gather my thoughts.
You know what he looks like? A rapist. A rapist with bad fashion sense. Who rapes young boys. And the netted top with an undershirt with FAKE ABS SHADOWS? HOW SAD IS THAT?
And the hair. Sigh. He looks like a rebel with that hair, which is fine and all... if you're 14. GROW THE DAMN UP AND GET A SENSE OF STYLE PLEASE.
[Atae Shinjiro aka ZERO]
Oh Atae, are they trying to turn you into a sexy beast?
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. YOU'VE GROWN UP WELL, THEY'VE TURNED YOU GAY!
And are they forcing you to show off your undies too? Smart of you to make it all gray so that it's not so obvious... you're such a tease. Mmm. Come to me and I'll pay you well for your... nocturnal services. *winks*
Oh by the way, he's legal now so you can lust over his young and tender body now. Isn't life great?
[Sueyoshi Shuta aka SHOOTER]
I must admit, my aunt Maggie had a part in SHOOTER's styling - she lent him her wig. She thought it would give him more texture and diversity.
SHOOTER's style is very much inspired by - you guessed it - a shooter. The silk scarf is for him to cover his face (and wig, if necessary) when on the move. An all black ensemble means he can hide in the shadows, or at funerals with important grieving families. The silk shirt is great when the girl (or guy) wants to have an after shoot shoot, if you know what I mean. *smirk*
Doesn't he look stunning? [Ito Chiaki aka I.C]
Fans of I.C will from hereon chant their new I.C cheer, which goes like this:
"O.I.C! O.I.C! O.I.C! O.I.C! O.I.C!"
Enchanting.
But really, I.C looks pretty. I would have liked her look better if I hadn't been scared silly by her bottom eyelash extensions.

OHMAIGOD
Ok so I've probably held off on giving my opinion on this for too long (though this is the "latest" issue of the lot).
