Out with their latest album “SUPERMARKET FANTASY”.
A unique and amazing video clip by them. Very unlike them but like the new style.
Simply loved the kiss scene at the end of it, fits the title “SUPERMARKET FANTASY” very much indeed.
二足歩行してる空っぽの生きもの
無意識にリズムを刻んでいる
フルボリュームのL-Rに
萎んでた夢が膨らんでいく
君が話してたの あそこのフレーズだろう？
まるで僕らのための歌のようだ
君は どんな顔して聞いてたの？
甘く切なく胸を焦がす響き
メロディーラインが放ったカラフルな魔法のフレーズ
輝きを撒き散らしては僕らに夢を見せる
明日へ羽ばたく為に
過去から這い出す為に
Oh Rock Me Baby Tonight
ほらもっとボリュームを上げるんだ
天気予報によれば 夕方からの
降水確率は上がっている
でも雨に濡れぬ場所を探すより
星空を信じ出かけよう
雨に降られたら 乾いてた町が
滲んでキレイな光を放つ
心さえ乾いてなければ
どんな景色も宝石に変わる
やがて音楽は鳴り止むと分かっていて
それでも僕らは今日を踊り続けてる
忘れないために
記憶から消すために
Oh Rock Me Baby Tonight
また新しいステップを踏むんだ
メロディーラインが描いたカラフルな希望のフレーム
輝きを撒き散らしては僕らに夢を見せる
めぐり合う度に
サヨナラ告げる度に
Oh Rock Me Baby Tonight
さぁ踊ろうよ ボリュームをもっと上げるんだ
Utada Hikaru: Prisoner of Love
Prisoner of Love
A snippet shot from her promotion video for this song
The promotion video from her latest released single
I’m a prisoner of love
Prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
I’m just a prisoner of love
A prisoner of love
平気な顔で嘘をついて
笑って 嫌気がさして
楽ばかりしようとしていた
ないものねだりブルース
皆安らぎを求めている
満ち足りてるのに奪い合う
愛の影を追っている
退屈な毎日が急に輝きだした
あなたが現れたあの日から
孤独でも辛くても平気だと思えた
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
病める時も健やかなる時も
嵐の日も晴れの日も共に歩もう
I’m gonna tell you the truth
人知れず辛い道を選ぶ
私を応援してくれる
あなただけを友と呼ぶ
強がりや欲張りが無意味になりました
あなたに愛されたあの日から
自由でもヨユウでも一人じゃ虚しいわ
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
Oh もう少しだよ
Don’t you give up
Oh 見捨てない 絶対に
残酷な現実が二人を引き裂けば
より一層強く惹かれ合う
いくらでもいくらでも頑張れる気がした
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
ありふれた日常が急に輝きだした
心を奪われたあの日から
孤独でも辛くても平気だと思えた
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love
Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
一人にさせない
Drama “Last Friends”, on heavy topics like DV and GID
The song “Prisoner of Love” is currently the theme song for a new drama entitled “Last Friends” as you can see from the video above. Saw Hikki’s performance on SMAP x SMAP on TV today and she was singing this song and totally loved it. Will definitely get my hands on the single CD which is going to come along with a DVD (out in May). You can see the preview of the promotion video at her homepage right now. Love your song, Hikki ! Check the song out on my Music Box ! Anyway, I’ve just watched the 1st episode of “Last Friends” and it was definitely a good drama. A drama with heavy social topics like domestic violence (DV) and gender identity disorder (GID). Looking forward to the next episode very much and the song truly suited the drama very, very much. For those of you in Japan, be sure to check it out on Fuji Television, every Thursday 10 pm.
Heart Station Promotion Video
Some people say that the video clip is boring, but I would say it fits the song very well since basically the song is like a thought in the mind while you are singing in your head and listening to some music, thinking of someone while you are traveling like for instance in a train. The word “heart station” and the train scene which links to the real physical station, kind of blends in significantly showing a scene that you would understand if you do take trains in Japan. I personally do what she does in this particular video when I do get on a train. Headphones buzzing my favorite music while my mind bewilders thinking about things that were mingling around in my head. It is artistic in someway and I love the first part where it starts off with her eyes. It is very unlike her in the sense for the past few videos which she had done with her ex-husband Kiriya, she was very exquisite and all indifferent with the sophisticated style. The difference shown in this particular video, I personally love this new style very much as much as I love the past ones as well so enjoy watching. Peace.
Utada Hikaru, releasing “HEART STATION/Stay Gold” soon
Happy Birthday, Hikki !
Utada Hikaru, Japan’s top diva, who has just turned 25 yesterday will be releasing her 20th single “HEART STATION/Stay Gold” this coming 20th February. Although she went through a divorce with Kiriya, well known for directing her promotion videos, in March last year, she has been actively introducing new hip into her music and this 20th single is definitely going to mark a new point in her music life and yes, I am already enjoying listening to the preview available online. Check out my music box at the side bar on the left to hear them. I particularly love the song “Stay Gold” and I knew it instantly that it was her when I heard this song on the Asience shampoo TV ad by Kao. Just can’t wait to see her singing live on music shows.
HEART STATION
「さよなら」 なんて意味がない

神様だけが知っている I Miss You
どうしていい思い出たちばかりが残るの

無邪気に笑ってくださいな いつまでも
Ayumi, dysfunctional left ear
Japan’s top singer Ayumi Hamasaki announced Monday on her official website that she has lost all hearing in her left ear. She said that doctors had told her that her hearing would not return. In the statement, Hamasaki, 29, said she was diagnosed with deafness after a medical check-up last year and that the problem dates back to 2000. She says on her website: “I still want to be a vocalist. I will continue to sing and won’t give up on my fans.” Her agent said Monday she will not change her national concert tour schedule which begins in April. Her latest album, “Guilty,” went on sale on Jan 1.
