I’m not talking about the typical Christmas tunes that are blasted everywhere even a month before Christmas arrives. I’m talking about songs to suit my Christmas mood. I’ve never celebrated Christmas, and I don’t intend to either. What’s up with Santa, log cakes, turkeys and Christmas presents? It’s all overly commercialised. Businessmen are laughing all the way to the bank as I write.
When I think of Christmas, I think of chilling weather and snow. The scene of a snowy peaceful town appears in my mind. That’s all I can relate Christmas to; Winter. I don’t care about the food, presents, some red old man or even the birth of a religious figure. However, there’s no winter here.
Some might think that it’s pathetic that I have to spend Christmas eve and the actual day alone at home facing the computer instead of partying outside, but with the right music to accompany me, it’s all good. In this event, sleepy.ab couldn’t be more suitable.
Remember the time, not too long ago, when many went crazy over Mio and began raiding music instrument stores for her lefty bass? Some could afford the money to make their purchase, but many of the other (diehard) Mio fans could only stand by the sidelines, watching helpless as others obtain their Fender Jazz bass while all they can play is air guitar. That was pretty entertaining.
Then, I saw this.
Now, I’m sharing the emotions of the other poor Mio fans. I think it might be love at first sight, like how Yui reacted when she first saw Guitar in the store.
We all know that Twilight is bullshit and catered to prepubescent teenage females who fantasize all day long about Mr Perfect Suave Vampire. As Peter Chao would say, “You bitches don’t stand a chance!”. I’ve been wanting to join in the Twilight bashing　club too, especially ever since my sister told me about how her classmates were level 79 fangirl screaming and hyperventilating while they watched the movie. Now that the Higanjima movie’s releasing soon, it’s the best opportunity presented by the gods of lulz.
Both Higanjima and Twilight both feature vampires, and the vampires play a crucial role. But, it doesn’t take anyone with even half a brain to figure out which is better. Here’s why.
1. Twilight has vampires that all full of crap and aren’t even scary. Higanjima has vampires that make you soak in a puddle of your own urine and tears. Literally.
Most of the people who watch watch would probably only know of 9mm as the band that did the OP for Real Drive (R.D 潜脳調査室), Wanderland. But they’re definitely more than that. While I didn’t exactly like their 2nd album, Vampire, everything after that has been pretty good. Some criticism can be seen for Black Market Blues, but Cold Edge was terrific. And now, on 6 January 2010, they’re releasing a single, 命ノゼンマイ (Inochi no Zenmai) as the theme song for a movie, 彼岸島 (Higanjima).
I have this habit of fast forwarding, skipping through parts of a show I’m watching. I think it has to do with my short attention span, but it does work wonders. For example, I can watch 2-3 episodes of Japanese drama, each nearly 40-50 minutes long, in just a single hour. I do the same for movies too, so a 90 minute movie can get cut down to 30 minutes.
