Did I introduce this band already? Or I might have avoided it because of the complicated name... Anyway, written in the right way the band name should look like this - 相対性理論 - but yeah to people who don't understand kanji it probably just looks like a cool tattoo or something. Anyway, this song, called "sanzenmannen" or Three Million Years, is such a great song! I love the guitar riff and everything about this song. The somehow-making-sense-but-not-really lyrics like "I was in love since 3 millions years ago" or "I'll just stuff 3 million $$ into my backpack" (in preparation of the long weekend?!)..Things like that. Oh how I love meaningful/meaningless lyrics like that!! However I have to say I am not into ALL their music. Some of this band's songs are too "experimental" for me. Although it is more than fabulous that they were voted #1 with the most recommended CD by all the CD shop staff in Japan. (but some stuff I just couldn...

Update on the broken ipod: still not fixed... is that why I have been feeling so blue recently? Another song I really like from the band Shakalabbits is called Hoshizora no shita de. It is one of their best, in my opinion. It is just so engaging and cuts into a deep part of me. So. I decided to make a cover version of it. In English, it means "Under the starry sky", and the song Hoshizora no shita de talks about two people in love, I assume, and who, I imagine, talk their hearts out under the starry sky! How romantic would that be?? "If we could only disappear together at that moment" However, it is implied that the two people are not together anymore. "You would have cried at the same moment if you were watching this movie with me" "We will never be able to connect the same way we did before" "I believe, there will be a day when we will meet each other again and smile, under the starry sky/And I sing" I dig you Uki...

Sad :( my ipod broke. My life is black and white now.... until i get it fixed! So, the latest addition to my musical life is... One Piece music! Or, just this song~ Actually I don't know much about this band. But this song sounds nice. Does this song cross the line to become J-pop? ぎりぎりだね。 almost? But pop with drum beats and guitar and bass is fine with me. This song sounds so hopeful. Like Luffy from One Piece. I like that. A dose of positive thinking is always good for you. Yes let's all aspire to be pirate kings or something! At least the Japanese pirates don't go about saying "aye" or something. Which is so not cool. One Day-The Rootless
