Monday.

These days happen to become on the month of "Miracle May" (how I dubbed it). The particular Monday 2 weeks ago needs its own personal post I haven't wrote in the longest time to say my thanks and gratefulness for the whirlwind I'm currently experiencing.

Monday was a bank holiday in London and I was still feeling under the weather, until 2 days later after this Monday.

Monday was when I checked my e-mail and it was there, the person who has been such a nice person I don't know how else to emphasize how nice and wonderful it is even though I have never met the person.

I'll be meeting the first time in person next week as of writing in Tokyo because he has given me the opportunity. And properly saying my gratitude and thanks. 7 days to go...

Again and again I say, he's one of the very rare and few people within the music/ent. industry that is just down to earth, nice, and strong in faith. Plus, he speaks English and is from Japan. How else could this be ever so 'lucky' for me? A-san, mata raishu!

Songs on repeat you should support and do. Because of this song (below) it has been the very element to where I am today and what I have received. Like his page and


Of course, listen to all his stuff!

Merry-Go-Round

Toshinobu Kubota's song which was apparently a hit before the millennium year started just got my heart on nonstop loop.



How did this come about? I had SHAZAM a cover of this song in English, thinking it is an English song, thinking that it was an original. Turns out after doing some research on it... I finally found the origin of the song, the amazing original live version, and realising that the clock in my house plays this melody! THE SONG WAS CLOSER TO ME THAN I HAD THOUGHT, wow!

Way to go BENI, I loved your cover so ba a a ad.


Now I love Kubota's live version too.


one comment say: BEST AFRO EVER. I AGREE. LIKE THE COOLEST JAPANESE SHIZZ.
Good Saturday!

In 10 words and less...
Who lived through this LALALALOVESONG era in 1997? I didn't.

Imagery.

      Visualization and Presentation Class is giving me depression and head-spinning for the project. Gotta make a promotional CD album cover and poster, and combining them together as a 3D pop-up kind poster for the album. Inspire by either one of the songs below, I've got to translate this song to a visual feast for the eye.


Pink Floyd's stature, uniformed, song that sounds more like a chant for Just Another Brick in the Wall Part 1 is quite depressing with its grey wool, grey background, it's all grey blur. Looking to break out of the grey situation, the kids start to protest and rebel against the teachers.


A-a. Not me. Depressing.


What's even more depressing is Bruce Springsteen's Atlantic City which described the situation back then in 1981. The economic crash, the desperation of money, the lonliness in a city of nowhere, arrrhhh the more I understood the song behind the history the song gets even more depressing.



Well, the only one left is David Bowie's Space Oddity, the song that commemorated the Armstrong moment on the moon. There are two versions that I found, and hmmmmm. I guess this is something more of joy. I hate being in a gloom, it reminds the bad days I was on depressive mode for months that I don't with to return.




The next question:
How do design with what imagery. Sigh. I really am not
inspired by any of these three. Shimshim.

AAAAHHHHHH help~

Hear.


 My ears can cry of happiness but my tears are dropping to ballad songs (yes it's that fast by seconds). Just had to share to the minute.
Lucid Fall 'Les Miserables', 
Bad Guy drama soundtrack,
Tablo x Penny's 'Eternal Morning',
and Clazziquai's first/second album.
if you don't have it, go get it. THE WHOLE ALBUM. 




*PS: genre's is more to easy-listening with a jazzy beat, ballad sadness and drama, and a spice of digital sound waves percieved as bass.
