#9 SONG : Akanishi Jin - Ai Naru Hou e

So today I’d like to share with you guys a song that im into recently: Akanish Jin’s Ai Naru Hou e. To be honest, im not great a fan of his especially after all he did and left KAT-TUN, not that I was his fan to begin with though. But I do love KAT-TUN. They are funny, that is of course including Jin too (he is one of the funniest!) and their songs are great.

Okay, this song is the second single after his comeback  and I'm sooo in love with this it! It’s catchy and sweet! I seem to like his songs after the comeback more than his American songs (is that what you call it?). ‘Hey What’s Up?’, the one before that is not bad too… or more like I like it a lot! Even my friend, who is no fan of this j-pop thingy love it! You can listen to ‘Hey What’s Up?’ here.

My favorite phrase from this song would be:

Let’s live life honestly so that you don’t lose yourself

On your stage you are the star

Let's live life honestly, just how you are
On your stage you are the star

It’s like his telling you to live life the way you like it and just be yourself. Who cares what people have to say, it’s your life, you’re the main character, it’s all about you. Hmm…just like how he had always lived his, huh? He just do what he wanna do. Partying all night, getting married out of the blue and having a child.

I like these kinds of messages, though. It gives me the courage to just be me ^^

You can download the song here and if you’d like the full lyrics with translation it’s here.

That’s all for now.
Bye ^^

Yuna Inspires Me

Hi, guys! Today I would like to share with you guys one of my favorite singer. Okay, she is Yunalis Zarai or commercially known as Yuna. Yuna is a singer-songwriter from my home country, Malaysia. She first started to gain popularity with her song Dan Sebenarnya. Now, she is living in LA and is actively singing there.

Other than Malay songs, she also writes English songs. And I would have to say I love her English song so much too because she puts in a much deeper lyrics in them. Her songs always inspire me and leave a great impression. The songs she writes are usually about love and life and all of them have positive and deep messages that inspire people. 

One of them is called Live Your Life. You just got to listen to it! It’s so meaningful. It has a message along the line of be true to yourself and chase your dreams, don’t dismiss all possibilities because you can reach it if you want to. Okay folks, that’s all from me. Bye! ^^

#10 song: Angela Aki's Tegami

I’m sorry I post this late. I’m suppose to post this yesterday but I was too lazy =_=. I promised myself to post one post a day and yesterday I already posted something so decided to delay this post. Anyway, as promised, I’ll post a song that have deep meanings and left an impression on me.

The title is Tegami(letter)by Angela Aki. It’s a Japanese song and actually I found this song while I was searching for Hey!Say!JUMP’s videos to kill time, two years ago. The first time I heard it I somehow felt like crying even though what I heard was just the intro and she didn’t even start to sing yet. So I kinda felt that I had to look that song up. I heard the song and read the translation, it made me cry.

When I read the translation, I thought that this person is so great, she understand us, teenagers. It’s nice of her to put those in her song. It made me feel appreciated and made me thinks that I’m not alone, there’s someone out there that understand.

I’m not going to post the full lyric or translation here, if you want it you can get it here. Here’s some quote from my favorite part of the song:

For me who's 15 years old
There are seeds of worries that I can't tell anyone

…

Now, it seems that I'm about to be defeated and about to cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
This one-and-only heart has been broken down so many times
In the midst of this pain, I live the present

This is the part when I started to cry. It’s like, I understand these feeling very well, and in fact that was what I was feeling at the time so I cried a lot.

 The rough seas of youth may be tough
But row your boat of dreams on
Towards the shores of tomorrow

…

There's meaning to everything in life
So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing

…

No matter what era we're in
There's no running away from sorrow
So show your smile, and go on living the present
Go on living the present

These parts made me feel like I have to work hard and encourage me a lot. It sort of made me feel better when I was fed up with life. I always thought I wanted to grow up fast because I thought, then I can be free from these problems, these troubles. But what I never thought of is that even if I grow up, it won’t solve the problem and as an adult there are other problems that I’ll have to face later in life.

I learned a lot from this song and I think I had matured a bit. It’s amazing how Angela can make this beautiful song that can touch people, and affect them in their daily life. I envy those people that can inspire others through their arts. One day, I want to inspire people too, maybe not through songs like her but through my own piece of art.

1 down 9 more to go! ^^

One Way to Find HAPPINESS Is to Find An IKEMEN!

I’ve been thinking lately of what should I do to keep me writing. Right now, the time gap between each post is big. I write, like one post, and then the next one will be in another one or two or more months. So I came up with this: 10 songs with meaningful lyrics! Here’s what I’ll do. I’ll write a post about songs that have deep meanings and left an impression on me each day for ten days. I hope this’ll work. I seriously need to discipline myself more. I’ll start doing it tomorrow!

Did you watch yesterday’s Ikemen Desune? How was it? I haven’t watched it yet >.< !  Right now, I’m waiting for someone to upload it.  I’m so excited about the drama! It looks very interesting and I like the casts too, especially Hikaru <3

It’s supposed to be a remake of this Korean drama, You’re Beautiful. I tried watching it but I can’t get through episode two.  It’s too much of a drama and the progress is quite slow. Maybe, because I’m so used to watching Japanese drama. Japanese drama are usually fast-paced. *shrugs*

Lastly, to end my post how about a song? I came across this just now when I’m wandering around the net. It's  quite old already, 2009. But hey! it sounds good so why not? I love this song especially the first part.They’re Happiness and all of them are still in middle school. Hope this will cheer your day up!
