Monday, February 27, 2006 (2:48 AM) - Exam is Over and Rocket Girls Kick Ass!!!

yeah its over finally! after the exam i did all my last report and then went off to tokyo kosen to practice guitar with munzer. we did a few practice and some talk about our band. a lot of things to do before our first live. have to ganbatte before the live!!! while doing our practice pedro came and show his skills. he played the guitar like the guitar is a part of his body. what the F#*K!!! he is the next carlos santana thats for sure! after watching he playing i think im going to stop play guitar. he is so damn good!

after practicing guitar i went to shibuya to attend the Rocket Girls live. its raining hard there. very hard. so i went to the o crest with a guitar in my back and just a small umbrella to cover the whole me and the guitar. got the picture? arrived at o crest early and got to relax for a while before the live start. here i will write all of the band's performance during that live.

first performance was The Spin. they dont have bass player in their band. they using computer to play bass. their guitarist also play synthesizer apart of guitar. they have cute vocalist and so energetic. i think they play more to power pop.

the next band was Evita Temptation. typical pop rock band. have some catchy songs.

the next band was kind of good. they called themselves The Whisper but they sure loud. from kyushu and have 3 vocalist, one of them is a gurl. the guitarist was good. and so the bassist. their song are mix up of a lot of genre including ska rhythm, rap chorus, emo shout... a lot of mix up but good. i bought their cd coz i think they are really good, energetic and unique.


the whisper

the next band was Bubblegum. actually ive been to their website before and got some info about them. they are from okinawa and just entering the underground scene in tokyo. three piece band and they sure can play good! have some influence of old school punk rock and traditional okinawa songs! they really good and friendly. i think this band will go far. im looking forward to see their future in tokyo!


bubblegum

the next band was Yutupa. they say they play power pop. but they sound more like a modern pop Orang Range. well at least they got synthesizer. for me the only power pop bands are Devo, Zolof, Aquabats, Beat Crusaders and Polysic. but Yutupa still got some catchy songs that can make you start dancing once they start singing.

the last performance was none the less my favourite band, Conconjump. like always they playing with their heart and soul. once they start playing you will be in the same world as them, just you and the band. well i think this time, the crowd were not that happening than the last conconjump rocket gurls live. dunno why. but they all had fun. you can just see it in their face. i know i did.

after the show i got the chance to take some photographs with the whisper, bubblegum and the drummer of conconjump, hiroko. i had some talks with them too and really had a lot of fun. the next live will be today. the gollbetty will come to tokyo!!! at last!!! then on this week's friday i will be going to kumagaya to see conconjump again. going there with friend this time. my band's drummer. really going to have fun there! just wait for my next live report!!

Wednesday, February 15, 2006 (3:43 PM) - Valentine?

yesterday was valentine. i never have any valentine in my entire life. thinking back, i had a few girlfriends back then but our relationships start after february and end before february the next year. haa.. think of it i never had a relationship worth a year. the last relationship i had was just lasted 3 months. maybe the shortest. before that during form 4... maybe 6 months... cant remember anymore. hmm... i know im a big loser when it comes to 'love' thing. when i see some school girl holding school boy's hand (you can see it a lot here) i tell to myself.. naa.. they are just kids, they dont know anything about love... school love will never last forever, it just a beta version of real love.

i got a lot of friends who fall in love during their school year. but they married with a different guy after school. thats why i dont believe in school year love.

so i took one big step after i graduated from the japanese language school in my country. but it was a bad step. a big mistake. maybe i rushed it a little bit back then but im not the one that can be totally blame. naa.. i never want to talk about it anymore. i learn a lot from it. it even change my way of thinking about love. maybe before i think love is not that difficult but now for me its really complicated thing. and it became really complicated if its love with someone complicate. maybe love with a person is like that. its totally different than love with things you like like music or games.

i dunno when my love life will start again. actually im always ready for it. just this time ill be the want who wait. hunter's life is over..... so who's the one who will be my first valentine?
