Japan Record Award

Kome Kome Club just performed on Japan Record Award tonight.
They were featured as a "Memorial Act" for celebrating the 50th anniversary of the show.

LYZYKO has uploaded their performance on YouTube.
THX for your quick job!!!!!





My overall thoughts on the performance was "Okay".
Don't get me wrong!!
They did good, their clothing was cool, but nothing special...
(My favorite, Ryo-J's hairdo and sunglasses were really ruining his beautiful face,
so I'm grumpy, lol)

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
I JUST CAN'T WAIT to SEE RYO-J on TVVVVVVV!!!!!!!!!!

Music Video for つ・よ・が・り is available now!!

Okay, I found music video for 米米CLUB's new single, Tsuyogari.

Here it is.
VIDEO CREDIT goes to kinson888. THX for your upload.





This is my personal opinion. Dis me on the comment section if you like, lol.
I think this video is HORRIBLE!!
Like, It's WAY TOO CHEESY!!
Coz they didn't shoot anything new for this single...
It was made by scenes from their live performances 1 to 2 years ago.
(It's kinda same way as their music video for We Are Music!)

Man!!
Is their record company being mean to K2C or something!?!?

Since this single is a theme song for TV drama,
it can be a very good opportunity to promote Kome Kome Club to the massive numbers of ppl.

But, hey!!
They are playing different songs in the video, lol.
This vid will totally ruin those opportunity..............

Well, It's okay............................
I still love them anyways.

Hopefully they will shoot completely new stuff for the next single,
Or I'll be so frickin sad!!!!!


What did you think??

Just Heard (Small Part of) the New Song

Alright, I've just heard VERY SMALL part of Kome Kome Club's new song "つ・よ・が・り" on TV.

I only could hear 15 to 20 seconds of the song...
And here is my personal impression on it.

Yup, it is a ballad.
And I guess it has similar sound to their song, "君を離さない"

1st episode of "猟奇的な彼女" will be aired tomorrow nite (April 20th, 9:00pm- 10:15pm)
So, I'll check it to listen more parts of the song.
Then, I'll write some more about it!!!!!!!

Did You Know That??

Do you know the Japanese reggae group 湘南乃風??
Last month, they released the song called "曖歌" as the B-Side of their hit single 黄金魂.
In that song, they use the word "浪漫飛行"!!

Wanna hear the song??
Here is the music video from YouTube.

It goes "俺も男だから 一生かけて飛び立つ浪漫飛行"
(In Romaji, "Oremo otoko dakara isshou kakete tobitatsu roman hikou")

Well, if I translate it, it would be
"I am a man, so I'll fly out for roman hikou(ambitious journey/flight) for my life"
