Big Bang - Tell Me Goodbye [Translation]

Letting you go...(please somebody)
Letting you go...(please somebody)

No, I got this, yeah
Still I´m thinking about this thing called love
You got me shaken up (please tell me there´s a way)
And it got my head spinnin´ round round round (please tell me there´s a way)
Don´t wanne take a fall, it´s best to rake it all
It´s gonna be better for you, move on, move on (please tell me there´s a way)
Uh uh, we break it, break it or thought we make it, make it
And now we cover it all

Girl, I swear I won´ t even for a second
Cause you any pain
in order to protect you
Because there's no other way

Baby our love itself brings us pain
And I got nothing, nothing to say

Oh tell me goodbye, oh tell me goodbye
Those hands that embraced me
Oh tell me goodbye, oh tell me goodbye
Seem to be letting go
If forgetting me will give you freedom baby
Oh tell me goodbye, oh tell me goodbye

Girl, you know when you lose your smile
I will place the blame on myself
I wake　up crying these words, and even the light
I will lose sight of everything else

Baby the moment our lips part this time
I´ll never find better, better than you

Oh tell me goodbye, oh tell me goodbye
Those hands that embraced me
Oh tell me goodbye, oh tell me goodbye
Seem to be letting go
Merely being by my side is not kindness baby
Oh tell me goodbye, oh tell me goodbye

Yo and it´s so, so
Said it just ain´t happening
Wish you could be better
Sorry to be scrapping
But I just can´t let go
To be less than happy
I said look at me
I couldn´t live with myself seeing you like
The thing you deserve
Baby you are superb
Always believe that it hurts
That bleeds, that´s word
I think that I can do
My body is just takes a bigger part of me to be letting you go
I wish that weren´t so

Your voice, pained and fading away, away-ay-ay-ay
Erased completly by the wind, stay, stay-ay-ay-ay
All these things, I can´t take it, those tears, don´t cry for me
Or our sake I´ll never look back again. Eh-eh-eh-ain

Oh tell me goodbye, oh tell me goodbye
Those hands that embraced me
Oh tell me goodbye, oh tell me goodbye
Seem to be letting go
Merely being be my side is not kindness baby
Oh tell me goodbye, oh tell me goodbye
Tell me goodbye

PS: Finally, their first R&B song after a long time... I love this song~ It's different than any other break-up songs. Instead of asking the girl to come back to him, he told her to go further away from him, because he doesn't want to see her being hurt even more.. TT.TT Now that's what I call real love...

Crazy days!!

A lot has been happening for the past few days. On Saturday, we went to Auntie Mas' house since she invited the whole family there. She stayed at Abang's house at Hong Kong and was really grateful for Kak Dian's hospitality there.

After all the hoo-haa there, Mama, Auntie Mas and watashi went to the An-Nuur shop to get Mama's customized 'tudung Ekin', whereas the other family members (Abang, Kak Dian, Papa, Eli, Ezhan, Kakak's family) went to Kakak's new house to plan further about the renovation there.

After we went to An-Nuur, Nanith called Auntie Mas to pick her up at school. She went to this TV9/ntv7 studio with the other kids to meet Nabil (the 2nd Raja Lawak). After that, Auntie Mas showed us the new link house she bought, probably for her children in the near future. It was quite huge; not only the height, but also the wideness of the house. Though, it costed RM500grand+
--_--|| Kakak only bought hers RM400grand, and it's 5,000 sq.ft. semi-D...

So we went back to Auntie Mas' house and saw that the others were already back. We chit-chat more and Abang invited Auntie Mas and her family to dinner with us at Tarbush, a Middle-east restaurant, at Starhill. Yes, people, Starhill, where all the perasan rich people go to (but the area around it were like hawau XD). And I'm tellin' ya...the food there were TASTY!! With the beef, chicken, kebab, dipped with garlic sauce plus with the Lemon Na' na (..ok, that's actually my drink, which is lemon with freshmint). Even when I woke up in the morning, I could still feel the food in my tummy..

The next day, Wan invited us to have lunch at her house, and Auntie Mas was invited as well. So, again, the hoo-haas. And Zahira as usual wanted to stick with her mom like a baby koala bear. After a while though, she started to play with Nanith.. I always thought Zahira is really tall for her age (which she is, actually) but looking at her next to Nanith, she looks so CUTE! (in terms of size as well)

But Kakak had a total bummer. She had to be at the office in the evening and she's really pissed off.

Anyway, this evening we sent Abang and Kak Dian to the airport. Strangely, Kak Dian ate three, THREE huge parts of roast chicken, together with the ulam + rice. Then, she ate the papaya and had the time to eat ais krim potong before we depart. And they even told us that they'd buy KFC after they checked in...it's weird to think that she eats a lot, coz she's so skinny and has low blood pressure!

Meh...so, that's all I'll have to say for now. Over and OUT! ^_^V

PS: Utada's Come Back To Me actually came out in Mix FM this morning!! ToT I'M SO HAPPY FOR HER!!!

Hating them just gives me headache --_--||

Ok, I'm gonna be honest now. I used to be antis of DBSK, SNSD and Super Juniors (I think there were more, but I forgot...). But now, I've become a fan of DBSK, SNSD's "Gee" is stuck in my head and I'm listening to SuJu's new album as I write this.

So I have decided that I will not and never will be an anti to any artist, even Britney Spears. Because then again, they're just humans. It's not like as if they caused the economic crisis nowadays, and they don't kill people. Ok, maybe the announce of them marrying and etc. made fans go suicidal, but that's the FANS' PROB, not THEIRS. Who the heck told them to kill themselves anyways?!?!

If I don't like the artist's image or song, I'll just ignore and say nothing. Take SNSD for example. A few years back people said they don't behave well like criticizing artists such as Tae Yang (his name means 'sun'), and Tiffany went all, "Tae Yang? What kind of name is that?" They probably want to make a joke out of it, but I guess they did it wrongly which made the V.I.Ps (Big Bang's fanclub) really angry. Nowadays though, they became much more popular because of "Gee" as well as Tae Yeon's solo activities. I think they're doing pretty well right now, despite the bashing of their anti-fans and their extreme fanboys (which are psychos).

And SuJu, I think the reason why people hate them were because they used to lip-synch (I think. If I'm wrong please correct me). Or perhaps it's because the number of members are just ridiculous (whoever stuffs 13 people into one group?!). But then again, we can't blame them. It's the company that decides the line-up and number of people in a group.

DBSK...I wonder why I hated them that time.. Probably it's because they used to lip-synch quite a lot, and me and sis actually thought all of them had plastic surgery (well, ok, maybe some of them DID have plastic surgery). But...that's it XD. Now they don't lipsynch anymore, and they're such a group of cute dorks.

So, my conclusion is... it's the COMPANY that should be blamed! Why the heck do they have to decide these groups' images?? Let them decide themselves! And why the heck do they always import foreign composers?!?! So not patriotic... And I hate how the founder pushes BoA through promotions...give her a break man! She's still young!

Asian Artists Debut in America (BoA & Utada)

Nowadays, it looks like Asian artists are more daring to have a try in America. Utada Hikaru, BoA, even Wonder Girls. I won't be surprised if Big Bang wants to do the same, but they want to concentrate their market in Japan first.

Rain has done his debut in the movie Speed Racer, so this year he'll be the main character in Ninja Assassin. Mehehe...me and sis can't wait to see the movie. X3

So back to music news. BoA's self-titled english album is already out after Eat You Up single's success.


Tracklisting:
1. I Did It For Love feat. Sean Garrett
2. Energetic
3. Did Ya
4. Look Who's Talking
5. Eat You Up
6. Obsessed
7. Touched
8. Scream
9. Girls On Top
10. Dress Off
11. Hypnotic Dance Floor

My review: I'm quite surprised that there aren't any ballad songs in this album, especially since BoA has such a nice voice. Not even one, single R&B song is present...just plain upbeat songs that are similar to those songs you hear in english radios and typical like Britney Spears' songs (I'm not surprised, coz Look Who's Talking was written by her). So yeah, it's quite boring. And I don't like the english version of Girls On Top, just because. Tracks that I like though are Did Ya and Eat You Up, I'm telling you, this girl has more potential than what she has to offer.


Next one is Utada, who decided to try again in America's music scene after her failure with her Exodus album, which only sold around 55,000. Her new album is called


Tracklisting:
1. On and On
2. Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence - FYI
3. Apple and Cinnamon
4. Taking My Money Back
5. This One (Crying Like a Child)
6. Automatic Part II
7. Dirty Desire
8. Poppin'
9. Come Back To Me
10. Me Muero

My review: This is WAY better than Exodus. Probably because Utada feels tired in experimenting songs, and just want to do mainstream ones (she said so in an interview). And compared to Exodus, she wrote and composed all the songs with the help of others. She has mentioned that it'll be hard for her to express herself if she doesn't write and compose all the songs. When I listen to Come Back To Me, the lead single of this album, I just knew that she's gonna make it. Even music critics think the same as well (heck, Ne-Yo even praised her as the most talented person he ever worked with). My favourite tracks are the first five tracks and, of course, Come Back To Me. They sound similar to her older works, which I love and miss. What's funny are the tracks like Dirty Desire coz...well, the title says it all XD. But then again, you never know what's going on in her head. All I can say is, GO HIKKI!!!

All in all, these two ladies are very talented in their own ways. Don't you agree?

VAMPROSE artists~~

Hm...other than knowing that SPM results will come out very soon (and me having the license P officially!), nothing much has happened to me lately... So, again, this entry will be dedicated to my fav artists.

VAMPROSE is an independant indie label of HYDE (from L'Arc~en~Ciel). There are only two groups that I've known so far that are under this label: VAMPS and MONORAL.

VAMPS consists of vocalist HYDE and guitarist K.A.Z (from Oblivion Dust). Most of their songs are sung in English (or should I say Engrish) for God knows why, but at least Hyde's pronunciation is better than most Japanese singers. Their latest single is 'Trouble'. Yes, that Power Rangers theme song...weird. XD



Even their MV couldn't get any weirder.

MONORAL, on the other hand, are the opposite of their superiors, in terms of the style and genre of their songs.

This duo consists of vocalist Anis and bassist Ali. Their songs probably sound a bit same like some American/British bands, but are considered quite unique in the J-rock society (since it ain't too cute, too happy or too dark). Although their lyrics might not make sense (hell, it's the same as the VAMPS) but I really enjoy listening to the vocals and the loud bass. Songs that I really like from them are "Tuesday" and "Kiri".



See? Both bands are completely opposites.

Interesting facts about this duo:
Anis is a Japanese-Moroccan who speaks Japanese, English, French and Arabic. He used to be a fashion model (gasp!) and support some famous musicians performing on TV as a guitarist. He was also often involved in TV CMs songs, singing backup for other famous musicians and narration for CMs.

Whereas Ali is a Japanese-American (so it's logic that his Japanese and English are fluent). He was a VJ for MTV Japan, where he met Anis. He's currently a part of TV show Self Liner Notes on MUSIC ON! TV. He's also a radio DJ.

Personally I'd prefer MONORAL over VAMPS, just because. XD

PS: I miss L'Arc~en~Ciel :(

B.K. In da house!

ugh...it's just getting worse. I'm supposed to go to my japanese class, but the flu just keeps getting worse, so I had no choice to post-pone it yet again. Tomorrow's my last driving class, but i don't know if I'll be ok...

Well, since nothing really happened to me today, let me review you to my new favourite duo:

Bennie K

Bennie K is a J-Urban female duo that consists of rapper CICO and vocalist YUKI, who both love American hip-hop music. They met while YUKI was in Los Angeles undergoing voice training with Roger Burnley. They made their debut in January, 2001 with the single Melody, released on the For Life Music label.

Bennie K's songs usually combine Japanese and English — their English is more fluent than most Japanese singers. Their 4th album debuted at #1 on the Oricon Album charts. (Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bennie_K)

Cico's raps can be funny at times like being a giddy girl and all, but she's really cool. Yuki's vocals.. are just serene. One of the best singers I've heard ever. Well, these ain't the only reasons I like them. Their musics are really different than any other Japanese artists. Some of their songs are latin-inspired, and there are a few that are arabic-like, country and pop-rock. I also like that their songs are really upbeat, encouraging and more happy-go-lucky type compared to their earlier songs (which were a bit depressing and angry-type). Other than that, CICO can really dance!

I'd recommend listening to their albums Japana-rhythm and The World. I'm gonna put up some of their songs in this blog.

Well, looks like this entry lives up to the URL. I'd probably post more about my favourite artists. Heehee.
