Now Playing: Afternoon Parade (午後のパレード) - Suga Shikao
I'm a few weeks away from becoming an official HSFC member. Makes me wanna squeal in delight, but I ain't gonna do it. ...Must...resist...fangirlism.....
Ah anyway, on to the music recommendations.
Artistes to check out:
#1. PANIC! AT THE DISCO #2. YUI #3. RADWIMPS #4. EGO-WRAPPIN' #5. HOMEMADE Kazoku (家族) #6. Suga Shikao (スガシカオ) #7. WOLFMOTHER #8. REMIOROMEN (レミオロメン)
Okay first of all I'm forever grateful to the one who introduced me to peercast. Without it, I'd never get the chance to listen to Japanese radio. God knows how much I love the programme. I'd like to say that I'm addicted to FUNKY FM 802. Rockin' Osakan radio station. I'm glad I don't have to put up with songs by him, her (GOD. I was shopping at TM with JH and her songs were like blasting @ popular bookstore. OUT I WENT), them (copying without permission is a big no no you know), and of course, him (the legendary man w****. Aunties paying a fortune for a strip show is acceptable though....erm...I think? hah). I'd like to add a "no hard feelings" here. On to the topic, I found #1 interesting as I was browsing the february issue of WHAT'S IN. I like their 05's [A Fever You Cant Sweat Out]. Best song? It'll be [I Write Sins Not Tragedies]. Anyone watching the latest episodes of BLEACH should've heard #2's ROLLING STAR. Her performance at MSSL 06' was great too. I actually started listening to RADWIMPS after Jiro played one of their songs on DBCN. I'm impressed by the vocalist...I believe he speaks perfect English. WOLFMOTHER was introduced by HISASHI actually. A little too heavy for me but most of their stuff are rather good. REMIOROMEN needs no introduction for peeps who tune in to J-music. Till now I'm still addicted to [粉雪].
I've just heard Dir en Grey's latest album [Marrow of a Bone], and certainly not to my surprise, it wasn't to my liking. They've moved on to what...metal? That's a drastic change if you've been listening to them for years. I'm quite certain that most of the songs in the album, if played live, will end up sounding...extremely unpleasant.

For those who bought LiB, there are 2 typos on the lyrics sheet...
Bokutachi no Shouhai (5th line)
(correct)奇跡-Kiseki (WRONG) 軌跡 - Kiseki
Both are read as kiseki but have different meaning, 奇跡 means miracle while 軌跡 means (wagon)tracks. MIRROR (8th line)
(correct) 掲げた-kakageta (WRONG) 揚げた-ageta
I wonder who does the typing for the lyrics/credit section. I remember SCREAM had an error similar to this...but that was released by AVEX not EMI-TOSHIBA. Need any efficient typers? Come find me pls.
Remember the GUNDAM expo Hisashi participated in which was held last year? I finally saw the gundam model Hisashi made. And like our lovable bizarre guitarist, this gundam's bizarre too.  毛毛的!!!*dies* Furry thingies rock. Check out the mohawk pls. lol. Btw Gackt and TMR also participated in the expo.
