I may put up Ivy later if I come back to do so... it will be here.... just to make it a perfect, imperfect couple... art imitating life, imitating art... cliche...

Here's Ivy ~ I've chosen this one... for a few reasons~ but it does go hand in hand with the above ^ from Wheesung.

this song - should be sad - or, more so, I think it's from a sad man's pov.... but... perhaps it's my apathetic nature coming through... it kinda makes me happy!

Confesión

~_~ I've made a silent vow to avoid my normal music/musicians for at least the next 5 weeks. ~ need to find something more refreshing, and inspiring - kinda getting tired of the same old.... same old~

------------------------------------
I have been struggling something fierce not to give in and listen to my normal, favourite -far eastern- artists/musicians; in fact it is proving much harder than I'd anticipated.

But, that's what happens when you dedicate 10 years to a study then give it up in a day. ugh...

------------- so... anyway....

I happen to have a handful of Irish musicians that I enjoy very much, mostly folk artists, or traditional gaelic singers.. but there's a few in the global territory---

I share with all the lovely ladies of LL, this one.... An amazing song with poignant lyrics, soulful composition, bordering on being "country" genre, by the incredible Irish band....

The Coronas

...and if you're a gentleman, too bad... this song is more appropriate for the tenderhearted angels here~

(((it's hard to drink bourbon without buck tick playing "rhapsody" in the background... bummer...))) *willbreakthisaddiction* XD hopefully~

ah,how I detest my own vulnerability sometimes!

perhaps this, with its sharp lyrics and her staggeringly perfect, French Diva vocals will help anyone else who has such memories lingering~ it's not good to be unguarded and fragile.... but, even a cold and bitter woman falters from time to time, ne?

I was a really really big fan of FictionJunction Yuuka early on when I was just really getting into learning Japanese, I remember when they had their hiatus and just thinking, "oh no not another group leaving the scene" but of course they came back after only a short break... (relieved!) haha

===============================================

Hm... since I just broke my own rules haha - I'm adding another Buck Tick song to the list... because it's New Years and there are people suffering and without loved ones... And, that kinda' gets me... not just cause I'm one of 'em.... (First year without my father).

This song is called "Jupiter" with composition done by Imai Hisashi (L.Guitar/Noise/Backing Vocals) and lyrics by the frontman Sakurai Atsushi - despite the use of psuedo-taboo lyrics (when read they seem to imply something of an incestuous relationship) the song was one of several in written in Atsushi's grief after the passing of his mother, in honour of the woman who raised him all but on her own, and always was supportive of his career; and is actually dedicated to her memory. I do not doubt that knowing his love of double entendre that it may also reference his short lived first marriage which ended just before his mother's passing. - Yes - I am a diehard Buck Tick fangirl... /sigh

This video is a live performance with subtitles already provided in the video. This is taken from the Climax Together concert of '92~ Atsushi's long hair and still semi-unpolished vocals..... they do things to this woman... horrible, Pisces Descendanted woman.... hahaha (hence me choosing this one instead of one of the grand versions from later concerts with massive audiences - this one just feels more intimate, and has more raw emotion attached to it!)

JUPITER

I believe the use of "Jupiter" as the title is due to Mokusei (Jupiter in Japanese), it is planet of wood/trees... and thus linked to the Earth, and bearing fruit... and by that - the family tree... it also has to do with "freedom".... Like I said, with Sakurai's lyrics it's hard to say which meaning is being implied and if there are more than one, how much relevance they have. But, I thought it important to share, since this is an Astro forum, and this is a band that loves using Astro-aesthetics. hehe

LYRICS: (trn: elenko)
As I walk out onto the spiral of the moon, nothing but shooting stars dance in the sky
From there, I could just see you, tiny and far away
Gently waving at me

The red droplets flowing down my cheeks
Are at least a sign of our parting

I should have known from the beginning, about return, but…just a little
I’ll forget about the knife of reality
It cuts into my heart…I should sink down deeply

On my eyelids, afterimages appear and fade, and light shines, resembling Mother
Then tears, blood, and all of you dry up
And my memories grow distant

How much longer must I keep mourning?
Can I be gentle even once?
Goodbye, gentle smiling face
Tonight, will I sleep alone again?

The red droplets flowing down my cheeks
Are at least a sign of our parting
Tonight, in the beautiful droplets of moonlight
Even my soiled body…

How much have I hurt people?
Tonight, I wonder if I can be gentle
Goodbye, sad smiling face
Tonight, will I sleep alone again?

Please enjoy~! and add as you like!!!

bringing in the New Year was meant to be all fun and games for this happy-go-lucky water-piggy, 5h Sun Goat, who can't hold her inner bing horse back~

but I'm already annoyed! XD frazzled even!!!
~I almost chewed on my nails!!!!~ I haven't done that in years! mwahahaha it's all fun-n-games till someone gets hurt! when will that lesson sink in? hmmm... ~rattling off nonsensically~ yes- I am aware! ^^;

anyway - big plans - I'm starting with music~

for the love of lyrics, baby~

let's get to the point....

I don't listen to jpop much ever anymore - years ago, sure.. I had my mini-KATTUN crush with Kameneshi Kazuya too </3 younger boys </3 Pisces boys x_X

There is one weakness that I have....... but I swear it's not for her voice...godno... thought she's been workin' on that and had a few recent songs released that didn't make me want to gouge my eardrums out with an ice pick....

Lick Me

*idontnamethevideossongsorotherstuff* haha

But, it answers Mr.Milkshake's question/comment.... No I do NOT resemble Oscars favourite in anyway.... I'm just like Miss Koda here... fickle, miscelleneous, and ultimately - vanille~ <3

but sometimes.... sometimes... when I'm really hyper and in my element!~ I like to be Pistacchio or Watermelon!!! mwahahhahaha

Ai Sansan

this is my favourite of her best known live performances ~ it is sadly one of the last she had.

Now for someone people won't know -- because Hibari Misora is a very well known enka singer~

This is my favourite living enka singer - her voice is beyond unique... and by that, I mean her speaking voice not just singing voice! haha
(I'm posting two from her - because I can't just listen to one ever -haha - hopefully you'll find some appreciation for this unique singer, and this very old fashioned style of music)

Moriyama Aiko!!!

Koi Sake

Onna Bushi

I haven't forgotten males here -- haha not at all~ this is Jero ~ someone I actually know~ ^^

Jero is one of a handful of not purely ethnic Japanese Enka singers who've made it into the charts~ his grandmother got him into singing along with her old enka records when he was young!

JERO!!

And a little something from the young Prince of Enka -- Hikawa Kiyoshi

Glad to see I am not the only one who has credible taste in good animated flicks and music . There is a lot of stuff by FictionJunction Yuka that I like though I am more of a fan of Yuki Kajiura and her works. I swear that woman is a gifted composer with a magic touch.
