-Away we go- PointFive (.5) Doushinen

As I mentioned before, I'd start posting some lyrics I've romanized myself since I didn't found it anywhere.

歌ってみた Album Review - PointFive (.5) Doushinen

Damn school! Because I've been absent for weeks, I was left-behind in class which made me don't understand lessons and stuff. I also haven't filled some scores so this week, I should finish them. I know my scores would be bad if I still have blanks but.. filling ALL blank scores in a week? I'm fed up already.

I accidentally skipped school today (yeah, I woke up at 8 AM when the school starts at 7.30 AM, even thou I still have to catch up a score. Then my mom went to my school and talked to my teachers. When she got home, she brought a list of scores I should finish. Wth?! I tried to fill those scores in a week and there's still a bunch of it? Meh, now I fully don't care about my scores anymore.

Despite of my bloody annoying situation, I got PointFive's Doushinen some weeks ago. It consists Select Me, COLOUR and Kimi Reflection singles. Oh well, then having the COLOUR single separated is useless. Not really thou, it's my first PointFive collection. Okay, okay, straight to the review!

1. キミレフレクション (All Members)

With simple opening and followed with drum plays, it makes you want to tap your fingers. I think it sounds like an opening for an anime. The chorus is catchy because when it comes, it draws you into a big tap--kinda high note. Overall, it's a cheery song. And amu's voice totally cool here o///o

2. Away we go (clear feat. じゃっく・タイツォン・らっぷびと)

It's my favorite track of all. At first you'll hear single piano plays. You'll probably enjoy it from the first line. It plays echo as the back vocals and kinda upbeat. Well it should be, there're some rap parts. You can also hear the tune flows nicely before it goes back to the upbeat mode. The chorus itself is energetic. My favorite part is when they sing 'When love is found'. There're two back vocals that come in slight time differences with the main one. Rapbit's rap isn't flat all along and it sounds amazing.

3. ポラリス (あさまる・clear)

One word--lullaby. Not really, it's just the flowing of the song is so smooth that can bring you to sleep. You'll hear clear and Asamaru reach the high tone perfectly here. Thou near the ending parts they sang in low tones, and nicely ended with simple piano.

I Finally Got My NicoNico Account!

Actually I already have ones before but they kept getting locked since I was so stupid to log in with the names--not the emails. Also I always forgot the passwords, I didn't know the rule that if you entered wrong password three-in-a-row, your account will be locked.

The reason I want to make NicoNico account is obviously for the videos, especially VOCALOID's and Utattemita's. But the one that urged me to have an account is Nico Namahosou or Nico's live broadcast. I didn't know that you can watch your favorite utaite live. I envy my friend who got times to watch the broadcasts. I read the lists for the namahosou and it's like usually they broadcast late at night. Obviously my parents won't let me =3= But I really want to watch clear and amu sing live! I also hope Wotamin would have her own namahosou but I heard she's too shy for it. Oh, that reminds me. When I visited her community in NicoNico, I used Google Translate to figure out some of the words. I found Wotamin's being translated as 'otaku people' xD Where does that come from? And also I managed to watch her cover for Britney Spears's 'Everytime'. Her pronunciation is unbelievably good! Well.. I laughed when she sang the part where it says, 'I see clear'. You know what I mean, don't you?

歌ってみた Album Review - Cu6ic Append + カワルミライ

I've been trying to download Cu6ic Append (which always ended up to be interrupted) and now I really enjoy the album! It consists of 6 tracks as usual, 3 of them are duet songs and the other 3 are short drama (I DO really hope I can understand Japanese orz"). So I only give reviews for the songs. I'll also add Choucho's カワルミライ, only 4 tracks thou and 2 of them are instrumental. Anyway, without further ado!

1. ダイキライ！(JoNYH, 里瀬葉)

Maybe I don't really like how JoNYH sounds in Cu6ic Shuffle but he sounds amazing here. And you'll also listen to Riseha's unexpected-hardcore-moe-voice~ Yeah, I also don't believe it's Riseha singing, featuring JoNYH. The opening instrumental doesn't take long time to drag you to Riseha's vocal. The beginning may sound "peaceful" but wait until you hear the chorus. It's placed in high tune and Riseha can keep her cuteness! Contrasted with JoNYH adult voice, they sound really good together. Also I read that Shirokuro produced this song. Wow, he's so multitalented o___o

2. 灯火 (早井音そ～ま, 山乃レジ)

Now this time, Reji tries to surprise you with her mature-female-voice. You won't remember that this Reji once sang the magic spell. Featuring So~ma whom sounds energetic and playful, Reji sounds like.. his mother? Lol. Another contrasted pairing, I'll say. Somehow I feel like this song brings us to the Edo era. Probably because in some lines Reji sings like in traditional Japanese songs (I forget the name of it orz" so forgetful). You'll find epic screamo from both of them at the same time. Like it's name--it's truly epic. There's some short narrations which I can't understand. Maybe I'll just let you know about it.

3. stopping on the way (しろゐくろ, A-M-U)

This song makes you remember of sport anime OP at the beginning. amu sounds cool~ So does Shirokuro. As usual, Shirokuro gives some rock sense with his voice and amu makes the song sounds fresh with his light voice. You'll hear nice drum plays during the song. The chorus is just amazing--yes, just amazing. Their voices match each other. Just, wow.

歌ってみた Album Review - First Contact (BONUS! 3 Cu6ic's Lyrics)

Somehow, I like the songs in Clenero's First Contact more than Second Impact. Well, everyone has different taste of music. Anyway, here comes.

1. Butterfly

Okay, the lyrics may sound.. erm.. not suitable for people below 18 (and I'm included) but if you ignore the lyrics, the song is kinda catchy. And you can also listen to nero's low toned voice (yesss... I LOVE it!). The song may be fast, but somehow after you listen to it for some times, you'll notice that the flowing isn't that fast. Well, I feel that. To say, this is my favorite song of whole album. And it's in track 1. How cute.

2. All Night

I haven't searched for the lyrics but if you take a look at the title, you may notice something .__. Contrasted with 'Butterfly', it's kinda jazzy without much difficult instrumental sounds. Yeah, it focuses on the vocals which are pressured with feelings and reaching high notes. Man, that's just awesome.

3. Moon

Hello? Is it just me or three of the first songs themed identically? Anyway, this song is slower than 'All Night', and the volume at the beginning is reeeeeally low (I must make the volume higher). This is a kind of song which you can wave your head from right to left slowly.

4. Summer Rain

My 2nd most favorite song. I started liking this song after I heard amu's version in his solo album, Mu (maybe I'll review it later). It's not really summery, more like focused on the rain theme itself. The harmonies kicking. This song isn't really fast but in some parts the lyrics overlap with the time (and that's my favorite part).

5. Gift

Can't say it's classical just because you'll hear piano plays along with the song. Another slow song with high notes in some parts. I'm not good at describing slow songs ;~; (I might not be good reviewing all kind of songs; but slow songs are worst). But I hear nero's manly (?) voice hear and fell in love ^///^

6. Change

Yay! Cheery song, at least! Before the chorus, there're some fast lyrics which you'll hear random people as back vocals (I don't really know, but they sound random). Two main words to describe this song; summer and playful. There're some 'Oyeah!' throughout the songs. That's just amazing.

歌ってみた Album Review - Crystal Box

To be honest, Choucho's Crystal Box is the first utattemita album I've ever downloaded. I don't really know at that time if many utaite also release albums and I don't even know who the heck is Choucho. But now I'm feeling no regret.

1. Silence

You'll first listen slow-flowing tunes and Choucho's soft voice. She doesn't sound if she got difficulties singing slow songs. Then you'll continue hearing drums in the songs in the middle of the song. After that, Choucho's going back to the slow parts. The interlude is kind of nice I'll say. I'm not really a fan of interlude because I like to wait for the vocals. But in this song it's enjoyable. The drums also nice, but I don't know in some parts I feel it's a bit off. All-in-all, in this song you'll hear Choucho's high toned voice. Kinda nice for a beginning song, isn't it?

2. エンプティBOX

This is a more easy-listening song from Choucho with her higher voice that the first song. It doesn't have drums and kinda slower. But I love the instrumental, mixed with Choucho's high and light voice. Sometimes you don't notice if the song already ends (well, I don't). The instrumental is kinda simple, just like that. So I think it shows Choucho's singing skills more. She doesn't fail, really.

3. Bitter&Sweet

This is my favorite song from the whole album. You'll get some country-song feelings at first (because there's.. a trumpet plays?). The it continues with Choucho's singing, followed by guitar plays until the end (except the interlude). The lyrics are kinda clear, even if you don't understand Japanese because the instrumental doesn't cover the vocal itself. The song isn't fast and I enjoy it.

Cleawota

Life is just not fair -__-" If only I know utattemita a little earlier! What on earth is happening?!

I happened to read a translation of Cleawota radio interview which was posted a year ago. It's about their 2nd anniversary as a couple duet pair. They're being asked some personal questions. And they looked really sweet.

So, why do I feel disappointed?

It should be their 3rd anniversary but because they don't do duets anymore.. Aw.. =A=" I think it's because clear is kinda busy with his albums (he was featured in some albums with various utaite, like NEM'S GARDEN, Point Five, and also in his newly single Dearest II). It's rare to see he posted videos. The last one is his Pianissimo I think (which he joins in the making). I saw all the comments are like, 'Welcome back clear!', 'Glad to see you here!'. Now, I think I won't see him doing duet with Wotamin anymore TT__TT Also, I saw a comment in the translation of the interview, s/he said like, 'If clear feels thankful for Wotamin because she mixed lots of his songs, he should features his duet with Wotamin!' I do agree, totally agree. He's being too busy with his new partner, Nero. I can't blame him because I also love Nero ^///^ But of course I miss Cleawota duet.

歌ってみた Album Review - HoneyWorks + COLOUR

Another review for 歌ってみた albums (anyway, the albums I reviewed aren't really new, I know). This time I'll give some words for HoneyWorks album. The only reason I downloaded it because there's Wotamin~ *A* Okay, okay. Here're the reviews;

1. 泣キ虫カレシ (Wataame ft. Inakamono)

This is the first time I heard voices of theirs. Wataame sounds really mature, so does Inakamono. But Inakamono's voice sometimes is difficult to listen because of his volume. Well, he doesn't really force his voice for the high note thou.

2. スキキライ (Limone-sensei ft. Kogeinu)

.. Two guys are singing this. Probably a little piece of heaven for fujoshi out there .__. Anyway, I'm clueless which one is Limone and Kogeinu. To be honest, I never listened to their voices (like Wataame and Inakamono). Well, in Suji Chigai as reference (Kogeinu ft. Faneru), I think Kogeinu takes Rin's part. The song sounds so playful. Yeah, sometimes you'll hear funny words (not the words that are funny, but the way they say them). They both sound like they sing freely, without any problems.

3. パジャマっ子☆ (Wotamin)

Yay for Wotamin! Her voice is really high here o__o It of course is difficult to reach Rin's high note. Wotamin must be really tired after singing with that note for minutes, yet her voice is still enjoyable \^o^/ To be specific, her voice is "weighty" as usual. Yep, pressure.

The last track you'll find in this album is.. more likely an interview. I don't understand Japanese, so I'll skip it.

歌ってみた Album Review - CU6iC + CU6iC Shuffle

Because I love 歌ってみた albums and I want to show how I love them but I can't share download links so I think I'll start by giving some failed reviews. Yeah, I'll just tell what I heard and what I feel. People have different opinions.. So don't kill me if you don't really agree with me ^^'

For the first start, I'll begin with CU6iC which drove me to loving 歌ってみた albums;

1. 焰~The sky is the limit (早井音そ～ま)

To be honest, I'm not really familiar with CU6iC singers, including So~ma. So my first impression for So~ma and for his voice singing this, he sounds energetic and.. playful? I don't really know how to express it in words but it feels like bright future is waiting for me :D (wait--does that sound too much?)

2. Repeat (しろゐくろ)

I know it's in English from the first time I listened to it. But Shiroikuro's English spelling sounds muffled. I do enjoy his rock voice (yeah! Go Shiroikuro!) but when I took a little look at Repeat lyrics, well.. You know? His spellings aren't really the same. Like, when he said, ".. I had many things to do.." I thought he's saying, ".. I has many shee shoo do.." But that's acceptable for me. He's first language isn't English anyway. I'll just keep rocking with his enjoyable voice.

3. magic spell (山乃レジ)

One word; MOE. She sounds so cute~ *A* I'm not sure everyone can defeat her cute voice. The song is also beautiful and easy-listening (at least for me..). I don't fully understand Japanese but I think the lyrics in the song suit her voice.

clear's Unofficial English Fansite!

You can tell that I'm totally onto utattemita right now, yep, you're right. I'm addicted to download their albums, especially clear's. My love is growing, lol. I already have his Dearest, Dearest II, and his album featuring Nero; Second Impact. And now I'm downloading his First Contact. Yeah, kinda reversed with the 2nd Impact actually but I found the 2nd Impact first. I knew that there must be the "First" album.

Unfortunately, the blog where I start download utattemita album seems to be down. I don't know why; if it's my internet problem or the owner really did close her blog. Aw.. There're lots of albums that I want to download after download clear's.. Like amu's, ASK's, and other compilation albums. At least if the owner wants to leave badly, just let her blog stays like before :(

HEY!!

This post may contain super-random topics. Beware!

My, my, I realized that I haven't posted anything in months. Okay, I have my new high school and it steals most of my time with homework, competitions on August, and other stuff. Anyway, I'm still trying to adapt with my new class and friends. You should know that I'm not good at socializing..

Now I'm kinda Utattemita's addict. I don't know how; I just random clicked utattemita's videos in Youtube and start liking it. Okay, maybe the first song I listened from utattemita is IMITATION BLACK by Dasoku, clear and Valshe. It's so..... NNGH! (well yes, I don't know how to put it into words) Then I searched more for clear's other songs--I didn't know which clear's part in IMITATION BLACK is, I just think he'll sound awesome because he has cool name (?). And yeah, I was right. Until now, I'm still supporting clear x wotamin's duet.

These Days..

Phew. I haven't posted anything lately. Sorry (?). Anyway about UTAU, I think I'm finished with it. Well, I just know I'm not good at it. Instead, I'm trying to improve my drawings. Because these days the forum where I'm in is making a utaitte album. Oh right, I haven't told you about VOCALO.ID, have I? To put it bluntly, it's an album made by Indonesian VOCALOID users. You can find 3 languages in the album; Japanese, Indonesian and English. VOCALOID which used are Miku, Gumi, Luka, Rin and Len. And I'm helping with the artwork cover for Gumi's Try To Live song. Anyway, you can hear the album here. Also you can find some songs are already uploaded on Youtube. I'll post one down here.

Black Orchid

It's for an activity from a forum. It said that the contestants should make a VOCALOID fanfic, so here's mine. Don't read it if you don't understand Indonesian. I post it here because I should post the full version of the fanfic somewhere on the internet.

UTAU Again, Guys.

Yep, I think I'll start working with Itsuki again thou I know it's not a good timing. Tests on Monday. But hey, I'm bored. And also there's a friend on Youtube who's onto UTAU either. She wasn't around for weeks but now she's "kinda" back. She saw my UTAU and gave some suggestions. She also said that she's making some .ust files, and trying to finish her own UTAU. I don't remember her UTAU's name :/ . Well I'm kinda happy that she said she will make Itsuki sing some songs :D

Urgh. I have cough and flu, and some days ago I got fever. Now my stomach aches. Man.. My body seems to not cooperate enough with me. Guys, tests on Monday! I'm not going to get a day absent, and do the tests on the other day. Meh.

Back to UTAU thingy, I told my friend (one that I mentioned above) that I'm going to re-record Itsuki but she said I don't have to. Well maybe I need to re-record some of the syllables, like "ra", "ri", "ru", etc. Yeah, I don't know how to speak "r" in Japanese way.

Been A While!

Damn NDS. I can't meet my beloved Ivan from now on. Harvest Moon : Grand Bazaar is crashed! Aaargh!! Ivan~~! I'm sorry, I can't visit you :( but you know I'll always miss you, lol. Well because I can't play Harvest Moon and meet Ivan, so I play the other game. Professor Layton something, something. Yep, mysteries and puzzles to solve. There's one that makes me feel dumb.

Let's say there's a type of mouse that can give birth 12 mice at once. The mouse gives birth every month. This kind of mouse grows up and can give birth after 2 months. So if you buy one mouse's child from this type, how many mice will you have after 10 months?

After a Few Months

How I miss this place!! Yeah, now I have some times to write a new entry after boring months without internet. Actually I need to attend a family gathering but I told my mom that I'm kinda tired and I need some rest at home. At first my mom didn't let me, but then I won. So now I'm alone in this small house, only with my sister's laptop and a modem.

Oh right, maybe it's kinda too late but I spent my new year holiday in England, at my aunt's house. I visited great places there, such as Cambridge, Norwich, London, etc. I don't know if I should tell you about my experiences there, but I think I can write my favorite parts of my holiday.
