Raid My Minibar: Don't get laid. Get Raid.


Q4R #010: Raid's thinking of marriage! (and Hirai Ken, as usual)
Wednesday, May 6, 2009

No actually, I'm not (well for Kenken, yes I am). But this week's Q4R is all about marriage!
  • Why is it that a lot of young jpop singers are marrying old dudes who are in their 50's or 40's. Examples: Maaki from High & Mighty Color married some 50 year old guy from DREAMS COME TRUE, Mika Nakashima and Utada Hikaru were married to forty year olds and most recently, Erika Sawajiri is marrying an almost middle aged man. What's the deal? Love your blog by the way ♥
I suppose it all comes down to common sense.
  1. Young guys have no money.
  2. Young girls have no money.
  3. Young girls need money.
  4. Old men tend to have more money.
  5. Young girls marry old men to have more money to pay for young guys.
It's the sad truth, but you know, we can't all be oblivious.
  • If you were randomly invited to a shotgun marriage ceremony of two celebrities, who would they be, and what would you perform for them on stage?
.... TACKEY AND TSUBASA.

And why do I have to perform for them? I would love to see THEM perform for me!





*extremely dirty thoughts in progress*
  • I have a crush on you. Marry me?
Send me a naked photo of yourself first. Preferably with loads of whipped cream all over (yourself, not the photo).
  • would you raid MY minibar? RAWR
Send me a naked photo of yourself first. Preferably with loads of chocolate all over (yourself, not the photo).
  • What do you think of Hiro Mizushima's and Ayaka's marriage?
I honestly think they're both too young. But Ayaka has like, a disease (which I remember had a scary name that makes her eyes pop out, literally), which ironically gives her immunity from my viciousness.



You know, it's just not classy to diss a disease-stricken person. Unless that person is Ayumi or Mika Nakashima. Or KAT-TUN.

But yeah, marriage at such a young age is never a good idea.

Oh gosh, I hope they give birth to pretty boys with awesome voices. Then I'd be 40 and lusting over their children! Fun!
  • do you think that more support should be given to the jpop music scene in here or would you rather just promote it on your own via your blog ?
I would assume here means Singapore.

In which case, I don't give a damn.
  • We Got Married -fav couple (all time?) & fav couple (that havent been kicked out yet LOL)
  • We Got Married - least fav pairing?
I would have to say Alex and Shinae. I mean, DUH, IT'S ALEX. He's too romantic and she's sort of pretty yet bland enough not to make everyone jealous/spiteful.



ALEX ALEX ALEX NOM NOM NOM.

And seeing as most of the WGM couples are getting kicked out very soon, I would say I hate the current lineup of couples. Bleh, DIVORCE IS THE WAY TO GO ALL OF YOU.



"I love Andy's gigantic stick!"

Least favorite pairing of all time is probably... Andy and Solbi. Because Solbi is a whiny bitch that never stops. She should keep her mouth closed and her top open with her boobs overflowing. And Andy should have like ghey sex with the rest of Shinhwa while pretending to be a married straight man with Solbi.
  • OKAY! last we got married one, i swear to god. If you could couple any 2 participants up, who would it be? (LOL. Husband and WIFE.)
... WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO IMPLY. THAT I ONLY LIKE HUSBAND X HUSBAND COUPLES?

..... I find it creepy how well my readers know me. Goodness.



Well, very obviously, I would pair up Koda Kumi and Hirai Ken together. I mean, Koda Kumi has a body that never stops and Hirai Ken is... hairy. 8D And his high pitched moans make for very good porn.

And also, how many couples do you get to watch where the male willingly acts as the bottom. And sounds like the bottom. OMGAH MY BRAIN.

OH WAIT IT'S FOR MARRIAGE. UM. UM. I DON'T KNOW? GUHHHH! *KENKUMIPORNKENKUMIPORN*
  • HOW MUCH WOOD COULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK, IF A WOODCHUCK COULD CHUCK WOOD?
You won't believe the amount of fun I've had chanting this phrase. It's addictive once you get it!

And I guess the answer to your question depends on how much of a slut the woodchuck is.
  • WHAT IF KENKEN DIED!?
His funeral will be filled with crying gay men who will hug each other when he gets cremated. Then fake star will start playing and all them hot gay men have a mass orgy.

Oh and also, YOU HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PERSON. How dare you ask such a question! *pompous gasp*
  • Are you sure your feelings of WANTING Hirai Ken to be gay aren't clouding how you interpret his actions? I've watched plenty of clips with him and I don't get that vibe at all
Why not let's open this question to all readers. How many of you think he's NOT gay?



Yeah, I totally don't see why people think you're gay Kenken. You're oh so manly! :D
  • What do you keep in your minibar?
Oh wouldn't you like to know.

*muffled screams from Hirai Ken in the background*
  • oh baby,
    what color are your boxers tonight?
... My readers really scare me at times.

Um, I wear my secondary school (or high school) sports shorts as boxers, so yeah. It's green. Like evergreen.

*facepalm*
  • can you please just randomly put "TONY C GO DIE" ? feel free to elaborate. x(
TONY C GO DIE. Um, because you made one of my readers very sad. And um, your name sounds like a fast food joint! Or a cheap Hong Kong watch shop.

If you have a question for me, don't hesitate to ask! :D If you have ALREADY submitted your question, please DO NOT resubmit it! :D To give you guys an idea of my comments inbox...



So yes, I have received your question, don't worry. It's just, I HAVE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM! D:

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't still ask me a question, because I love questions! And a full comments queue makes me feel more important than I really am! :D

Click on the nifty button to send me a question! :D



(Sorry for this week's short post. Am in a pretty bad mood. Got scolded at work. For pretty much nothing.)

MTV VMAJ 2008
Friday, June 20, 2008

Finally, the red carpet pictures are out! All pictures by alalrerere from Yahoo Japan Auctions.



Ito Chiaki (AAA)

I think she looks rather pretty with her hair and make-up and all, going to Taiwan must agree with her. But it seems like the dress makes her look a bit..... pregnant.

Well, maybe she is, who knows.



Urata Naoya (AAA)

Leather jacket, striped hat, double-colored tie, weird pants....

Three words: Mid-life crisis. Ok so that was two words, but whatever. In any case, Urata still looks sort of stylish in his MLC clothes, perhaps that's just his style that us AAA fans are so used to already. *shrugs*



Hidaka Mitsuhiro (AAA)

You probably can't tell from this picture, but Hidaka really needs the toilet. He looks like a kid dressed up by his parents to some event he doesn't want to attend. Hmmm.



Oh look, the mid-life crisis dad, the pregnant mom, and the autistic kid! The perfect family!



TAKAHIRO (EXILE)

Not bad not bad, except I think he's worn this before. Or maybe it's some other EXILE guy. Who knows, their wardrobe looks recycled all the time anyways.

He's really starting to fit into EXILE, which I'm not sure is a really good thing for a young guy in a group of old guys.



ATSUSHI (EXILE)

Eh, I'm not sure what to think about this. He looks like a yakuza leader in the 4th pic, an old perv in the first, and sort of awkward in the other two. Hm. Maybe I shouldn't bitch too much about him, just in case he IS a yakuza leader. Dangerous.



MATSU, USA, HIRO, AKIRA (EXILE)

Damn, the picture by itself is already too weird and funny. From top left to right, then bottom left to right:

1. AKIRA looks like a very unsuccessful tranny.
2. HIRO looks like he's here to kill someone.
3. USA is telling you his pants are a bit too tight.
4. MATSU tries to master smiling and sneezing at the same time.
5. USA is about to pass out from his tight pants.
6. MATSU is still holding that sneeze in.
7. And HIRO is still looking for the person he's out to kill.



EXILE

No pictures of MAKIDAI for some odd reason, but as you can see from the two photos above, he doesn't really look all that different form the rest of the group. Perhaps just a bit more sane.



Amuro Namie

Probably my favorite get-up for the event, Amuro looks cute with a touch of sexy. The long hair looks really nice on her too. Wish she'd shown more legs though, DAMN.



ayaka

Some big animal pooped on ayaka's head before she came to the event. She stole the stage curtains too.



Kato Miliyah

Someone go screw the desperate girl already. She's offering up her ass on a red carpet! She came dressed in her best hooker gear for the occasion too. Someone, anyone?



Leah Dizon

Am I the only one thinking she is highly mismatched? The top and skirt looks like something for some beach party, but the gloves look ominous and solemn. A beach funeral perhaps?

She looks uncomfortable. God knows why.



mihimaru GT (oh ok, mostly Hiroko)

I like her hair and make up, I really do. She looks adorable with that hair and face. But the rest... it looks like a crayola box puked on her. And her dress looks like a blind elephant sewed them.

Miyake looks good as usual. He always never fails to wear something nice. Odd. How is it the male of the group gets a better stylist?



SEAMO

He looks like Charlie Chaplin with a stroke and a really bad sense of fashion and humor.



Matsuda Shota

The half body shots and his close up both looks quite decent, except for his half-bald head which I will never understand. Why doesn't he just stick to his Hanadan hair? I'm sure many would agree that he looks the BEST in that "era".

But then his full body shot reminds me of the kind of clowns I avoided as a kid. For good reason too. "Do you want to see something special little one....? HEHEHEHEHEE."



Yamada Yu

This is what you called a multi-level oxymoron-ic dress. It looks like a wedding dress, but it's fully black so I would assume it's a funeral. If she were going to a funeral of someone she really cared about, she wouldn't be smiling like that. If she was smiling like that, I would assume she's really happy, like she would be on her wedding day. So now the wedding dress might make sense. But it's fully black so I would assume.....

You know the rest.

And last but DEFINITELY not the least....



AI(KES)

Quick everyone pray that her dress doesn't tear! Lest we see what's underneath and get nightmares and then need therapy for years!!! RUN!!!

Who would you marry, based purely on voice?
Monday, April 14, 2008

It's no secret that my favorite Japanese singer is Hirai Ken, but does that mean he's top in my books for looks/singing? Or was it just some evil combination that renders me helpless to his charms. In any case, here I am to find out the real truth!

[Who would I marry based purely on VOICE?] (Choose up to 3)

Seeing as how I'm more in favor of the male voice, it's hardly any surprise how the results turned out. Except maybe about who got 1st place.

3rd place: Ayaka



Ayaka is one unbelievable girl. Her voice demands attention and sounds just sweet enough too. She sounds sexy without being erotic (much unlike a certain Kuu xD) which is a quality I think few singers can handle. Her voice is clear and is not husky at all, which is a huge factor for me in female voices. Yet somehow, she has that special acoustic-ness in her voice that makes her voice so much more appealing. She's the kind that will bring tears to people's eyes during concerts without fail. The kind of voice I really love.

However her speaking voice scares me a little. She sounds like a teenage JE boy. Maybe that isn't such a bad thing after all.... *slaps self*

Pity about the songs though. I could do with some less emo tracks from her.

2nd place: surprise! Hirai Ken



GASP! Kenken is second?! HE'S NOT A FAN OF HIS ANYMORE OHNOESSSSSS!!!!

... Ahem. Kenken's still number one in my heart, but honestly, if I were to listen to only ONE voice for the rest of my life, it has got to be sexier than this. Ken's voice is impressive, emotional, very unconventional and very.... feminine. He does jazz well, and jazz is a really sexy genre. One that old people (sigh) can do without looking silly and sad. His high voice sounds mysteriously unisex (I think this is the wrong term, but oh well), yet his low notes reverberate in manly goodness. How can you resist that?

Not to mention how his speaking voice is the kind that I can listen to for hours. It's cheerful and bright with a touch of commanding for that overall lovable package.

(I am so being biased here.) (Psst, isn't Ken so ADORKABLE in that picture?)

1st place: Alex from Clazziquai Project

A guy I wish with ALL MY HEART would just convert to Jpop like some of his Kpop counterparts (SE7EN, DBSK, BoA to name a few). Have you EVER heard his voice? If not, you MUST. His voice is pure SEX. (Try You never Know to see what I mean) Low, powerful, and tingling for all the naughty reasons, he's the kind most people would fall in love with on first listen. His voice is power-charged for all sorts of emotions, and he does every single one well too.

And I was thinking his speaking voice would be boring and droning like a doctor's but NOOOOO. It has that same level of huskiness which makes for very bad thoughts, no matter what he says. Like he could be a waiter saying "Can I take your order?" and somehow you'd be compelled to pick out dominatrix outfits.

And yes, I just had to post that picture of him. I know you girls love eyecandy. =D

That said, I'd love to see some other bloggers' own views on the matter. Specifically Kimitsu, Vee, Pengie, broomhead, Ray, Celestia and wu-san. Who would you guys marry based purely on voice?

[Edit on 15th April]

I've gone out and collected the results of the various singers/personalities mentioned in response to my question. Here they are in no particular order.

[Jpop FEMALE]

Uno Misako / AAA (Nao)
Utada Hikaru (Jim)
Yoshizawa Hitomi / Ongaku Gatas (Jim)
Fujimoto Miki (Celestia)
Amuro Namie (Ray)
Takewa Haruna / SweetS (Ray)
YUKI / BENNIE K (Ray)
Tanaka Reina / Morning Musume (CJ)
Bonnie Pink (Broomhead)
Koharu Kusumi (Broomhead)
Nakamura Yuri / Garnet Crow (Vee)
Matsuura Aya (maiZe)

[Jpop MALE]

Tegoshi Yuya / NEWS + Tegomasu (Nao)
Koyama Keiichiro / NEWS (Nao)
Akanishi Jin / KAT-TUN (Celestia)
Takumi Saitou (Vee)
Kato Kazuki (Vee)
Date Kouji (Vee)
Matsumoto Sou / GOING UNDER GROUND (Broomhead)

[Others]

Seo Taiji (Kpop) (Jim)
Queen Latifah (CJ)
Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins / TLC (CJ)
Harrison Ford (Celestia)
Orson Welles (Broomhead)
Randy Savage (Broomhead)
Taylor Hanson / Hanson (maiZe)
Lea Salonga (maiZe)

When it comes to Jpop, most people are looking for an extremely low and sexy voice or an insanely cute one. When it comes to the "Others" however, the whole thing just gets messy. xD

Let me know if you've replied and I've not placed your artistes on this list.

AIDS Charity Project - RED RIBBON Spiritual Song ~long title here~ (PV)
Monday, December 3, 2007

If you've been slightly aware of the J-pop scene, you'll definitely know about this AIDS Charity project single that has come out.

Basically, a single with a REALLY LOOOOOOONG NAME has been released for charity and many big names have come together to make this one happen. Artistes such as ayaka, some people from GLAY, a guy each from Mr. Children, Ketsumeishi and Shonannokaze and Kazumasa Oda. Pretty impressive line-up, and I'm pretty sure I left out a few.

But I'm not here to review the single, I'm here to review the PV, which is nice really, if it didn't confuse me to no end.




The PV starts off with two adorable babies looking clueless and adorable just as babies are, and very suddenly, they grow up. Into two kids with rather odd clothes. Especially the girl! What is with the hair?! She needs to stop playing with her mother's wigs, like seriously. Anyways, these kids basically skip around happily like kids in television always do. Pretty laughable really, considering real life kids around me NEVER skip around. Either that or they hide pretty good. Why do television kids always skip around, is it the camera or something?



Stereotypical behaviour aside, the shots for this video in various scenes are really beautiful. The old town charm of the whole video makes for a really heartwarming feel. That is, if it didn't confuse me to no end.

So they grow and grow and grow (pretty ironic and funny considering this video is anti-AIDS... ok, so it's just me and my dirty mind), until they become teenagers (or so I assume). This part starts getting confusing, as the guy and the girl suddenly gets pulled away by a bunch of unknown hippie-looking people. Then, they come back in their underwear and stare at each other.



..... huh? Am I missing something here? Is this the part where they discover about the birds and the bees? Why are they staring at each other? When did they get dressed again? Where did the hippie people go? Who do they represent?

The PV proceeds to not answer any of my questions and proceed to continue to age the two main characters some more.



So grown-up green boy and pink girl walk for a bit, and doctors come out of nowhere to give them a blood test. Freaky. If someone came up to you in the street looking like a doctor, claiming to give you a blood test, should you really trust the guy? I mean, shouldn't the public be warned of this kind of things? Didn't some people get AIDS by getting poked by random strangers on the streets? I'm quite sure there are a few. Oh wait, those people might not have had doctor's clothings on when poking their victims, that must be it. I'm sorry, silly me.



So the blood test comes back, and the guy has AIDS. Told you you shouldn't trust strangers with needles. Needless to say, the guy's world comes crashing down and he starts screaming. The girl consoles him by crying too. Good girl she is.



Now here comes the REAL confusing part. The two of them - pause for dramatic effect - gets MARRIED! And have a BABY!

..... huh? Am I missing something here? Aren't AIDS-infected people not supposed to give birth (or even make the baby in the first place), because it might infect the other person and the baby? So I'm assuming the baby is infected? Right?



WRONG on all assumptions apparently. The baby grows up to be a nice healthy boy, who runs away from his parents. That ungrateful thing, didn't you know your parents nearly died for you!

Oh but NOOOOO. Not only did the parents NOT die, they lived to a ripe old age! A VERY ripe old age I might add. And then out of nowhere, many women carrying babies come out into this vast field and sing. The ripe old couple don't seem to hear them.

So kids, what have we learnt from this PV?
  1. Skip around because it makes you happy.
  2. Hippie people are bad.
  3. Strangers with needles on the streets who want to poke you are totally ok.
  4. If you have AIDS, jump into nearest puddle, preferably with a girl who cries.
  5. Having AIDS doesn't mean you cannot have sex and have kids.
  6. Don't worry about the kid, he will grow up healthy, AIDS-less, and run away from you.
  7. You will live and not die. You might go deaf though.
See why I am so confused now?

P.S: If you're an adorable kid reading this post, having AIDS is NOT OK and needles are bad, like really bad. Like closet monsters kind of bad, so stay away from them! And hippie people too, they're not too good too. Ok?
