I thought so too, but it doesn't work  :._.:  Not sure what you mean with German, it's a Fujitsu...so it's Japanese?   :imstupid:  

 I meant did you buy it in Germany lol but maybe this will help

Would you guys minor in HR or Organizational Leadership? 

 

I'd probably choose HR but I think I have a friend taking organizational leadership classes at the moment. She said classes are a little dull and people are kind of stupid :/

[Owatari]

LMAO

 

i'd probably go with HR now..since the other classes look boring :(

 

Yeah go with HR it seems like it might be more useful and open up more doors for you. HR positions are usually good job positions, but idk if I could do them lol.

lil kim new diss track bout necki minaj reminded of kpop best western effort

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lgLcMAfHdg[/media]

 

this song is such jammmmmmmm and kim should have stopped the procedures here

 

 

crying at her verses about yen....bet she thought se7en was Japanese the entire time 

 

I was actually looking forward to this album. YG handled him so poorly with no album coming out at all. I mean BoA was a flop but I saw a commercial for it on MTV one time. Girls premiered on 106 n park which was weird, but it was something and they just when nowhere from there. Asian acts are so mishandled. Island had Utada at Sephora shops with come back to me playing at 2 am on the radio.

 

Mmmm.  Tossing around the idea of applying to write at Arama, considering that I end up posting articles around here fairly recently anyway and it wouldn't be that hard to edit them and make them presentable enough to be posted (and considering they don't require that much time, it wouldn't be that bad).  Not sure if I will, but we shall see.

 

Do it!! Spread you wisdom and great taste. 

[Owatari]

Should I buy Heart Station or Exodus? Decisions decisions. 

[Owatari]

DO IT! I'll push for you if you apply.

 

 

I went to the Utada/Sephora event in New York!

Lucky! I think I was a sophomore in hs when it came out so the best I could do is she her perform on a news station out here no tv. lol

 

^I like Heart Station a lot...

 

Haha this is funny to me because I have a friend who went to high school with one of the girls in the new SM group and told me she wonders if she regrets moving halfway around the world just to dress up like she's 12 and sing disney-esque songs

 

 

Exodus imo

 

I was leaning towards Exodus, but ended up getting Heart Station because I don't think I'll be able to get it new for $10 again anytime soon.

[Owatari]

Halcyon have you seen the covenant? I just saw that Sebastian Stan was in it and it made me think of you lol

 

I just had a friend who has never followed the Asian music scene text me about FEMM.
I feel like they are going to be the next big asian thing in the west tbh

 

Same thing just happened to me, but my friend wasn't feeling it  :lol:

 

Just found my old ipod and I used to actually like some kpop. Ji Sun's "The Mermaid Returns Home" was such a good album   :ahmagah:

Does anyone have any gif requests as far as jpop PVs go or maybe some lives that are available on youtube or jpopsuki for download? I'm in a gif making mood an I'm tired of making Do As Infinity gifs. I'm thinking Miliyah and Ken gifs for now until someone recommends some.

[Owatari]

YES TO MILIYAHHHH

It's raining again! It came out of nowhere and I got stuck walking in the rain. All I could think about on the way home

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_eM4E8yp-w

[Owatari]

the weather is acting all weird here

 

Same. When I left home it was around 85 degrees and super sunny. About 15 minutes later I make it to my University, hear some thunder and then it dropped to the mid 60's and it just started pouring. There was a lot of lightning on my way home.

Someone fluent in Japanese, does this say Eric Fukusaki's future is uncertain? :._.:

 

けど、音霊のお客さんて、みんなあったかいよね。　あと、エリックの今後の予定ですが、一個決まりかけているものがあるそうです。　一個か…。orz と思わなくもないが、皆さま、ひとまず、安心して待ちましょう。

 

Basically. Had a little confusion with "一個決まりかけている" but everything else seems to point in that way. Everyone should "wait confidently", so it seems like there are things going on but they want to give people positive hopes for his future.

[Owatari]

Yes :ahmagah: Play it! It's so good <3

 

How is playing Ni no Kuni going? I finished it in July, well I still have a few errands left (got too busy with other stuff), but still want to play it some more.

[Owatari]

I just got the dragon, so traveling has just been made a whole lot easier for me. I need to do a bit of level grinding because I barely scraped past the graveyard and I had a hard time making it up to the fortress. The casino and coliseum are now open, so I want to try those. I'm enjoying the battle system a lot now that I know how to use it. Those first five hours or so before everything was available were rough, though.

He makes traveling so much easier! I love the animation for it to. It was such a drag running everywhere and taking the boat. Traveling will only get easier from here on out. There's an island in the northwest, I think it's called ugly duck island, that has the familiar toko on it which is good for grinding. I dont want to spoil too much so later on in the game there is another familiar that gives a lot of experience. And ugh the Casino. I got so addicted playing platoon. But yeah the first couple of hours are tough. I was pretty underleved for awhile.

 

 

it is rough at the beginning. The girl always runs out of MP and if you change her tactics to not waste it all so fast she keeps dying on you. sigh...i really hate AI. Its why i always prefer direct command in a turn based game instead.

 

Oh i did pick it back up yesterday. I finished the trials thing after the desert town and going to the volcano next, which i think was in the demo.

 

That was probably one of the most annoying things for me. Especially when I wanted to catch a familiar and she would die right before I could. Things go a little more smoothly after the volcano in my opinion. Your team building gets a little better within the next few destinations.

I need Japanese vocalist to step up their game. I forgot how much I liked this song.

Congrats Ryu~

[Owatari]

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WANNA BE WITH YOU NOW.

 

:cry:

 

I literally played "Final Distance" 100 times within seven days of downloading it.

 

I'm in the minority that likes the original better. I listened to it like 10 times yesterday

 

http://v.yinyuetai.com/video/214386

 

 

And what the heck is up with Folder 5. I always come across these random videos of their horrible covers of good songs. They should've focused more on their own material they might of lasted longer than 3 years. And not at Daichi Miura being a member and having to leave do to puberty

[Owatari]

OMG Diachi should be ashamed of himself. And Japan needs to stop debuting acts at like 10 years old

[Owatari]

STOP!

RIP!

It was around the time the mainstream started to go into complete freefall and become the mess it is today.

 

How did they get away with committing murder like that on national TV? RIP Who's that girl.

 

[Owatari]

The original Distance from Utada is so...twinkly.

 

if that makes sense lmao

 

i prefer the ballad vers ofc. cuz ballads  :stare:

 

It makes sense lol I think that's why I like it more, but one day you will all see that Distance >>> Final Distance. But in the mean time I listened to Prisoner of Love and forgot how good Heart Station was. I'm glad I bought it.

I move in a few days so I need to finish packing, but I hate packing. So goodbye to this forum for awhile. Probably if not this post then tomorrow will be my last (another utada song lol). So nervous to move back to my hometown after being gone so long.

I was not ready for this video the first time I saw it.

[Owatari]

So I finished moving, but I'm glad I haven't unpacked anything because I have to move again OTL

 

I hate people ugh. Recommend me some somber and rage-full music cause I need some right about now.

[Owatari]

I was playing Ni No Kuni and I saw them! 

 

 

Llapacas  :ahmagah:  There was even a baby one. <3

 

The baby was so cute. I really want to replay it now.

 

I really need to start playing this again  :cry:

 

You do!!! You're missing out!

[Owatari]

I HATE living away form home. Every night I get paranoid someone is going to break into my place and murder me.

I miss the comfort of having my family around, ugh and it literally has only been like three weeks and I'm already miserable. 

 

And listening to this song alone in the dark doesn't make me feel any better

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKPA8L5ZpqU

I'm still in the midst of my Hikki phase tbh

 

Are you away at University? I know this does nothing for you immediately, but things do get better. I remeber I was pretty depressed and down for the majority of my first year away. I liked living alone, well I had a roommate, but things definitely felt off and different. You'll get used to it. If you have some friends or make some new ones invite them over or try and go out a little. It may not work immediately, but you will feel better for awhile. Staying busy does go a long way.

 

I remember when that song came out before the album I had it on repeat forever cause it fit the mood at the time perfectly.
