×××HOLiC is back! but just in OAV… So the rundown… there is probably going to be only two episodes in 春夢記 (Shunmuki) (xxxHOLiC Spring Dreams Chronicle) OAV. Just watching episode one gave me goosebumps and the shivers down my spine, epescially when just watching the opening intro ( the song is awesome too). What makes this OAV so important to the series is because its finally going the way it should have been since episode one; and what I mean by this is linking the two shows together.
Also with xxxHOLiC: Shunmuki comes the important link you know it cannot be complete without, Tsubasa Shunraiki (ツバサ春雷記) (Tsubasa Spring Thunder Chronicle). Yep Yep Later on we will see Tsubasa: Shunraiki. There is no news yet on what the Tsubasa part will bring but I’m sure it won’t lets us down, especially from what we saw in the last OAV.
Another new song from Do As Infinity =D. 1st we have meramera and now we have 生まれゆく者達へ. 生まれゆく者達へ roughly translates to “To those who will be born”, new sample clips of it yet, but lets hope there will be one soon.
Why the Japanese Hate the I-Phone
What’s wrong with the iPhone, from a Japanese perspective? Almost everything: the high monthly data plans that go with it, its paucity of features, the low-quality camera, the unfashionable design and the fact that it’s not Japanese.
The country is famous for being ahead of its time when it comes to technology, and the iPhone just doesn’t cut it. For example, Japanese handset users are extremely into video and photos — and the iPhone has neither a video camera nor multimedia text messaging. And a highlight feature many in Japan enjoy on their handset is a TV tuner, according to Kuittinen.
Hehe See I’m not the only one who doesn’t like the I-Phone 
Oh yeah Yahoo had a similar article to Iphone being given away for free in japan

I’m still waiting for my own invite to be in a rap video. Preferrably with a certain Mr. Gyllenhaal present as well.
If you had your choice, in which music artist’s videos would you guys like to be in?
Aside from the obvious musicians already featured in our blog, I think it would be interesting to be in a Bjork music vid. Like crazy interesting, which is the best type of interesting.
In Angie’s site she wrote notes about each track, from my keys international soulsteelgray was very kind enough to do a quick rough translation.
1. 手紙 ～拝啓 十五の君へ～(Tegami ~Haikei Juugo no Kimi e~)
- The beginning of this song is from a letter I wrote as a teenager addressed to myself at 30. On my 30th birthday, my mother gave that letter to me. As I tried to read it, I vividly recalled the troubles and pain of that time. I longed to write a reply to my teenage self and went to my piano. This song, written for the NHK Choir Concours, was sung by so many people, and so many chance meetings and relationships were born through this one song.
2. Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door (Bob Dylan’s Cover)
- To sing a cover of this Bob Dylan song in English is so sad, so I tried to write new lyrics. The song is the theme song for the movie “Heaven’s Door” and the theme of the lyrics is “death.” When the main character comes to accept the fate called “death,” he can understand what it means to live, and can embrace those emotions.
3. ANSWER
- When you can’t express the truth in the feeling of love, and you are able to say that you can’t say it, you find the answer staring you in the face. The people you love, your “friends” and “lovers,” you realize that showing gratitude to these people means that the essential things called love are simply “sorry” and “thank you.” This song expresses just that.
4. Somebody Stop Me
- In accordance with the title, when you find that you can’t control yourself, you just want to say, “Somebody stop me.” This song is about the annoyance you feel when something is right and you’ve made a mistake, and you can’t separate yourself from the conclusion that’s been made via the circumstances. I think that when you find that you can’t go on, the part of life that you experience is yet another type of answer.
5. ダリア (Dahlia)
- This is a song about the first time you live together with someone, and the memories of the person you had decided to live with. I think that love, no matter what kind it is, presents a “symbol.” For example, the movie you saw together, or the music you listened to that was given as a present. For me, my boyfriend bought me a red dahlia in a pot. Our love eventually faded; at first, going through the break up was very difficult, and I couldn’t bear to look at the dahlia. But time passed, and now the dahlia is the flower that I associate with my memories of my first love.
6. Final Destination
- What constitutes a “final destination” is different for everyone. You run towards that dream, setting the people you love as your goal, with only them in mind. But sometimes you become too focused on that goal, with far too much tenacity, and fight for something that you can’t even see anymore. This is a song about when that happens; face yourself, and you’ll check what you’re running towards, and understand what it is that you hold dear.
7. Our Story
- This is a song about comparing amongst ourselves the story called “Life” when we find that it doesn’t always end with a happy ending. Fairy tales end peacefully, but our everyday lives continue on rather steadily. The song reminds you why you hang in there as you wait, relying on the wariness that you acquire through living.
8. 黄昏 (Tasogare)
- This song is about the same mistakes that the main character of the story makes over and over. When she makes the same mistakes over and over again, I think that it means that she can’t let go of the past. Until now, I’ve been able to meet new people on new paths, and eventually, the case of creating the different face of “the past self” happens several times. It’s not just one time, but also two times and three times and the same mistakes keep intruding… this is the answer I was looking for while making “Tasogare.”
9. We’re All Alone (Boz Scaggs’s Cover)
- I was able to interpret Boz Scagg’s “We’re All Alone” through the key concepts “only together” and “everyone’s solitude.” From these two interpretations in English, the original Japanese lyrics I wrote used the following idea: “Mankind is lonely, so therefore we can share with each other the attempts to overcome this loneliness, and can love.”
10. リフレクション (Reflection)
- When people hear “a reflection is the projection of sameness in the mirror,” I think that the reaction is usually “Oh, really?” It’s a good meaning of reflection, but the real meaning that they don’t admit to is that when there’s a reflection, you see both sides.
11. レクイエム (Requiem)
- In the middle of recording this album, my grandfather died. I had sat at my piano to write a song dedicated to him. Realizing that it was already too late, I said that it was good to have this time to live. We don’t know what day our lives will end, so I put into this song the feelings of thanks we carry around in our lives that we say to those who mean the most to us. It’s a little less than 11 minutes long, but up until now, out of all of the songs I’ve written, this is the one that I feel is the best.
12. Black Glasses (In Collaboration with Ben Folds)
- Ben Folds, whom I respect and admire very much, gave me the chance to write a song with him. Together we went to a coffee shop and said, “What are we going to write about?” In agreement, we decided, “We’ll write about our common feature!” And so, we arrived at this song after a bit of a struggle. Our common feature is our black thick-rimmed glasses. We expressed it as if people were wearing these glasses as a mask.
13. ファイター (Fighter)
- “There’s a fighter in you, there’s a fighter in me, there’s a fighter in all of us.” It was simply easy to understand this message in a song. I was completely lost with the arrangement, but putting in the reverse of the piano while using the assertion of the synthesizer led to the song with the most extreme feeling on the album.
Overall its good =D VERY VERY GOOD! XD though I did want something like Today from her previous album, but now we get Black Glasses and リフレクション (Reflection) XD. Love those 2 songs <3 <3 XD and shut up Alex XD XD ur just being a hater cause you have Black glasses D: D: I am still listening to the album and so far its AMAZING!!!!! It has to be the best album right now for 2009.
Also I’m in a battle to figure out which is better, from her Today album Moral no Soushiki (モラルの葬式; The Funeral of Morals) and レクイエム (Requiem). Both has this epicness to them but I cant seem to figure out which is like more epic when I heard レクイエム (Requiem) I was oh its slow then after 2 minutes into it I was LIKE WHOOOAAAAA WHATS THIS! especially since this is a 10 minute song I think this gives it an advantage. I cant decide QQ.
Edit : OK i decided, Requiem > Moral no Soushiki, very hard decision to make but yes, its is indeed better. EPIC WIN!!!
