Caramel flavoured tea with a chocolate flavoured cigarette.

Oh, a small bug just got into a jungle of keyboard..which is mine. pray for it to come out of there alive. haha I was going to theatre to see Zombieland today but I ended up not going because it only has a late time schedule. the first showing is from 18:20..i gotta make a day plan for it sometime soon!

red nail polish is my fad now.♥

Corinne Bailey Rae has come back after her 6 years' silence! When I was watching a music show on the TV the other day, I found that she's from Leeds in England (where I'm going!)and she recorded in Leeds. My image of her was a cute girl with a relaxing and natural air because of the strong impression of 'Put Your Records On'. It was a big shock to hear that her husband died, but her new songs from 2nd album gave me a romantic feeling in my heart.<3 I watched a music video for 'Closer' and it reminded me of like a bittersweet grown-up's love. haha She is so beautiful.

7 year journal

I've been packing for England, and it doesn't seem going well. I'm really not good at those kinda things! even cleaning up my room and putting things I used back to the proper place. So now, my room is a total mess. When I was packing today, I found a book that I haven't finished yet. "windblown World" which is a journal of Jack Kerouac through 1947-1954. Years ago, I was into Beat Generation and read a couple of books on Allen Ginsberg. I forgot who it was but someone told me about "On the Road" which was penned by Jack Kerouac and I read it in Japanese. Althoug it was a bit difficult, I liked it and got interested in Jack Kerouac. I was happy when Bob Fossile said his name(Jack Kerouac) to a coworker of Zoonivers in The Mighty Boosh season 1. haha I think it takes time to finish the book for me.

Lovvers

I've got a couple of vinyls that I somehow usually don't listen to. Very first time I bought them and listened to them, I actually thought they didn't fit my taste. but months later, I always become a fan of them. I don't know what kind of system it is, but seems like I need time to get to like bands. It's kinda funny though because one of my favourite bands of all time, The Horros, they used to be a band that I didn't really like since my taste was more like power pop and emo kinda thing and I thought that their music was too rough and strong for me. and years later when I listened to them again in a CD store, I suddenly became a huge fan of them. It was like BANG!. haha They shook me up. That kinda thing happens a lot to me. That's how I encounter with music I like. Anyway this time, that thing happened to Lovvers which is a British indie band.

They reminded me of Black Lips, and just because I thought sound like Black Lips, I bought Lovvers' vinyl which has cute cover art on both sides.(that is what i can't miss when I buy vinyls!) They're addictive for me. It's like a bit of happiness that exacts in my life. I mean, like a feeling I always get when I listen to Girls. I'm not comparing them but both bands, their music and even their music videos make me have an idea that there're many things that I can be happy about in my life and make me think my life is not bad. They're not that big stuff so that you might miss them, but definitely exist by you..that kinda thing! haha maybe I'm just a too romantic person. :3 Lovvers is my favourite and I'd like every indie music lover to listen to them.♪


hm, I wanna make a video like this. There actually was a plan to make a short film with a friend of mine before both of us leave Japan, but we didn't make it and I guess we both thought we wouldn't. haha

Guess what you'll see

watch this! i think you'll have an idea what happens in the end when you see the first scene, but still this is amazing! The whole image that you can see at the end really surprised me. wonder how rich his imagination is. and I kinda like this song. I found this when I was checking Washed Out.




すごいすごい！

Egyptian Hip Hop

I'm gonna see them this November! i feel their slight energy from this video and i like it. Many indie bands play music with lazy attitude, don't they? What is that? Did it start from Shoegaze scene? I actually love the attitude. haha

A circle of light around the moon

なんとなく今日は遅くまで起きてたいから、久しぶりに書くよ。日本語って初めてかも？最近は留学に行く友達の出国ラッシュで、８月以内にほとんどの友達が日本から出てっちゃう。出発までまだ１ヶ月くらいあるうちは、みんなが去ってからなんか寂しくなるんだろうなーと思ったり。別に会う予定してるわけじゃないけど、もう行ったってのがなんか残された気分。残された方の人間ってなんか空しいよね。旅立つほうは、新しいスタートに対する不安と期待でドキドキしてるし。だから、うちも自分がイギリスに向けて旅立ったあとの親のこと考えると少し悲しくなる。特にお母さんは心配性だから、かつてうちが初めての海外旅行でおばちゃんとイギリス行った時にお母さんが泣いたみたいにまた悲しむのかなーと。でも今回は約１年だし、ケータイで連絡取れるし、その場にうちが居ない生活に案外すぐ慣れるかも。というかそうであってほしい。

この前ジェシーアイゼンバーグが出てる『アドベンチャーワールドへようこそ』って映画見たんだけど、なんか将来のことで少し不安だったのが飛んでった！すごくポジティブな映画ってわけでも、めちゃくちゃハッピーエンドってわけでもない、ただ淡々とした映画だったけどなんでか不安が和らいだ。うちぐらいの年齢ってみんな不安なんだな。イギリス行く前に友達と将来のこととか色々話してみたかった。向こうで会うか、１年後に会ってからでいいか！きっとみんな色んな国で色んな経験して成長してるはずだし。
最近もっぱら聞いてるMystery Jetsだけど、10月にリーズで見る予定！Mystery Jetsをついに生で聞けるのは嬉しい！どんなライヴなんだろうなー。小さいとこだといいけど。Blainを見られるのも嬉しい。そろそろチケット取らなきゃな。他には特に考えてないけど、色んなバンド見に行けたらいいな。

Now there's less than one month to go til I leave Japan and go to England. I'm all excited about it but a bit worrying about it at the same time. I can barely imagine the life I'd have in the uni. Hope it'll be an amzing one! and I'm planning to go see The Midnight Beast and Mystery Jets in Leeds in this October. I've never seen them live yet, and of course I'm excited! I finally can see Blain live and listen to him singing live! His voice actually has a power to heal me. haha I'm gonna keep blogging here in England. What will be difference from now is pictures. I'll be put pictures of my life in England as memories. :)

A month of film

Okay now, I'm having a plan to go see 4 films in this month. which makes me have a big smile on my face. It's been months since I went to the theatre. Hm, maybe it's like a half year ago. No way! for someone who loves films like me. Watching DVDs at home is relaxing but not enough because I can't feel a special happiness that I usually get by watching a movie at the theatre and using my time, 5 senses and everything only for one movie. haha

So, here's what I go to the theatre for this month.

• Stones In Exile
• Zombieland
• Toilet
• Sult (maybe)

um, that is like a not so good not so bad list. Stones In Exile is a The Rolling Stones movie which is more like a..documentary. I've got a feeling that the film is not really an 1500yen-worthy one though. I'm still debating! and Zombieland is definitelly. It's something I can't miss since I've been wanting to watch it at the theatre for months! I like a zombie movies with a touch of comedy. :) and Toilet! I'm having a feeling that it's gonna be one of the most interesting Japanese movie and also worthwhile. I like the director. Finally, sult. My dad wants to watch it and I'm looking forward to seeing the beautiful lady! So is my dad I guess. haha
