懐かし.

i loved the Japanese dramas in the 80s and 90s. Best.

these songs accompanied me through my secondary and poly days.

懐かし…

New Tracks.

Just added some new tracks to my Jukebox on the right column bar.

For those stressful days where you need some champagne and nice music to relax and chillout… lol.

Do check it out. ^^

Njoy!

Samba Saravah

Jazz/Chillout music is definitely an acquired music taste for me and it goes with the age and experience. I still remember how much I hate it when I was in my 16 to early 20s. During then, I totally dun understand why ppl will like this kind of music… hahaha… When I was still in MTV, the jazz music that I come in contact most would be Norah Jones. Still remember that she just released “Feels Like Home” during that period. At that point of time, I stil dun really think much of the music genre actually…

As of recent 2 – 3 years, I began to appreciate and enjoy more from this music genre… and after Bro introduced some more different artists, I really like to listen to them when I’m working, having a laze around day or drinking Champagne with your buddies and friends… Very mood building. lol.

Bro introduced Stacey Kent to me last year and I really like this album “Breakfast On The Morning Tram”… so I dedicating this song to sweet Bro who passed me another album of hers to listen (fankeow! ^^), lovely Shaz who is still mugging for her exam (gambatte!) and going to France soon (take a break from your mugging while listening to the song) , yummy Jamez who showed so much Singapore food on his blog that made me so hungry and my dear YL who was so beautiful at her wedding on Sunday. Congratulations again wor!

Njoy!

是因為我太愛你。

美麗的夜。

2008年1月19日。

我看了周杰倫2008世界巡回演唱會。超棒。超high。超一流的音樂演唱會。

I totally enjoyed myself at the concert. =)

開心。感動。傷感。興奮。疼惜。這些是在看了他的演唱會後的感覺。

開心。感動。興奮。原本已經沒想要看這次的演唱會, 但是HH and Bro還是真的很有心的找到了兩張很好的票, 給我帶來了這美好意外的驚喜。真心的感謝。Really appreciate and thanks for everything, HH and Bro… I’m really, really very touched.　誠にありがとうございます。Thanks for sharing the joy, happiness and excitement with me at the concert, HH and bro. No amount of thanks is enuf, seriously… ^^ thank you. 謝謝。gracias mucho. ありがとうございます. merci beaucoup.

傷感。當杰倫在唱《安靜》時, 我從來就沒有聽這首歌而感到如此的傷感。歌詞是那麼的美而且完全形容了我對一些事的感受。跟著杰倫唱著這首歌時, 不僅紅了眼眶。有好幾次哼唱時, 哽咽得不能繼續唱, 要不然眼淚真得會掉下來。*真是覺得自己有時候很傻又無聊* 哈哈。

疼惜。感冒的杰倫的低音已經是不能在唱了, 但他還是沒換歌曲, 唱了菊花台… 還真是讓人為心疼他。看著他那麼賣力得唱著, 在場的觀眾更是超high了起來。

一向很疼愛外婆的杰倫也帶了外婆到演唱會來。他的外婆還為在場的觀眾秀了一下舞蹈。特別かわいい。看到杰倫這麼的疼愛他外婆, 真是讓人更加的喜歡他。所為孝順的孩子是不會壞到那裡去的。あーほほほほほ。。。

Managed to find some clips of the Jan 18 performance. The power of technology…

Felt like I was back in the concert with Bro, even thou it’s a different day. Thank you again, bro. =)

Njoy before it’s taken down. ^^

《安靜》

詞/曲:周杰倫

只剩下钢琴陪我谈了一天
睡觉的大提琴 安静的旧旧的
我想你已表现的非常明白
我懂我也知道 你没有舍不得
你说你也会难过我不相信
牵着你陪着我 也只是曾经
希望他是真的比我还要爱你
我才会逼自己离开

你要我说多难堪 我根本不想分开
为什么还要我用微笑来带过
我没有这种天份 包容你也接受他
不用担心的太多 我会一直好好过
你已经远远离开 我也会慢慢走开
为什么我连分开都迁就着你
我真的没有天份 安静的没这么快
我会学着放弃你 是因为我太爱你

誠にありがとうございます。

作詩：槇原敬之 作曲：槇原敬之

銀座四丁目交差点に
今年初めての雪が
季節外れの花びらのように
舞い落ちてきた
君は覚えているだろうか
一緒に歩こうと約束した
クリスマスがこの街に
今年もやってきたよ

渡せないまましまっておいた
プレゼントのリボンを解いた
君に似合う色を選んだから
僕にはだいぶ派手だけれど

赤いマフラーを巻いて
歩く僕がガラスに映る
渡せなかったプレゼントを
自分で使うサンタみたいだ
空から僕の手のひらに一つ雪が
落ちるほどの確率で
二人が出会えたんだと
どうしてあの時の
僕は気付けなかったんだろう

君が大事にしていた
オーナメントをうっかり
割ってしまったあの時のことを
思い出す
それがガラスで出来ていると
思いもしなかった自分が
誰かの大事なものをいくつ
こわして来たのだろう

雪はまだ降り止みそうもない
僕がただひとつ願うのは
今君が寂しい思いなどなく
幸せでいてほしいただそれだけ

赤いマフラーを巻いて
僕は街を一人歩いた
渡せなかったプレゼントだけど
君がいた証に思えるから
ずっとそばにいると思うと
どうして人はいつでも
その人への思いを全部
後回しにしてしまうのだろう

リボンなど掛けなくても
特別な時じゃなくても
君に言えばよかった
「ありがとう」と
同じ数だけ雪が降るようだ

赤いマフラーを巻いて
僕は街を一人歩いた
渡せなかったマフラーは
結局僕を暖めているよ
例え自分が寒くても
寒そうな誰かに気付いたら
自分のマフラー外し
やさしく巻いてあげるような君だった

もし今君が現れたら
このマフラーを
君にそっと巻いてあげたい

He is wearing something similar to what u got for me… hee…

Happy New Year!

What’s left now is to show you the pierce… ^^v

這回在日本發現了中村中的友達の詩。歌詞講述的是有關於不被接受的愛。

《友達の詩》

曲：中村中 词：中村中

触れるまでもなく先の事が （触不到眼前的事）
见えてしまうなんて （还说什麼可以看见）
そんなつまらない恋を （苦闷的爱情）
随分続けて来たね （还是不断的来吧）

胸の痛み　治さないで （胸痛的感觉无法治疗）
别の伤で隠すけど （用其它伤将它隐盖）
简単にばれてしまう （还是马上流露出来）
どこからか流れてしまう （不知从那裏流出来）

手を繋ぐくらいでいい （若可牵手便好了）
并んで歩くくらいでいい （若可并肩而行便好了）
それすら危ういから （不过这样太危险了）
大切な人は友达くらいでいい （还是做好朋友比较好）

寄り挂からなけりゃ傍に居れたの？ （无依的我可否依在你身旁）
気にしていなければ （若不介意的话）
离れたけれど今更… （虽已分离）
无理だと気付く （明白根本不可能）

笑われて马鹿にされて （被笑是儍）
それでも憎めないなんて （也不抱恨）
自分だけ责めるなんて （只怪自己）
いつまでも　情けないね （真的无用）

忘れた顷に　もう一度会えたら （忘记比事後再次相见吧）
仲良くしてね （一起做好朋友好吗）

友达くらいが丁度　いい （做好朋友好了）

パレード (Parade) by Chaba.

Heard this song on Naruto… and I liked it quite a bit.. ^^

Easy listening and the music arrangement is so cheerful. haha..

風が吹いて 痛い 消えない想い
何を持って行こうか 集めてひとつ
二度とない 二度とない 捨てるなんて馬鹿みたい
無邪気になって イメージ

きっとそれは終わらない

愛の胸 焦がせ 千の夢 渡れ
縦横無尽 駆けて 手に掴む世界
雲がちぎれて 日がまた落ちて
ひとりのパレードが 動きだす

冒険 吉日 心拍 上昇 明暗 遭遇 生命 相愛

もしも言ってしまうなら あなたの髪を
嗅いで 吸って もっと 寄せ合う言葉
ワカラナイ ワカラナイ うわべだけじゃわからない
だからもっと深くしたい したい

なんて夢みたい

愛の胸 焦がせ 千の夢 渡れ
縦横無尽 駆けて 巡り逢う奇跡
雲がちぎれて 日がまた落ちて
ふたつのパレードが夜空に溶けて

誰もが持っている ポケットに沈めた夜がある
そいつを灯すように 手を伸ばしては泳ぐ人
見つけられたならいい あなたの景色と同じもの

愛の胸 焦がせ 千の夢 渡れ
縦横無尽 駆けて 手に掴む世界
雲がちぎれて 日がまた落ちて
未完成のパレードでどこまでも

冒険 吉日 心拍 上昇 明暗 遭遇 生命 相愛

The wind blows and it hurts, my love won’t go away
What should I take with me? There’s only one
It’ll never come again, never come again, it’d be stupid to throw it away
That innocent image
Surely won’t end…

Set your heart in love on fire, cross through a thousand dreams
Run right and left, through the world you hold in your hand
The clouds scatter and the sun goes down again
And the one-person parade begins to move
An adventure, a lucky day, heartbeat rising, light and darkness, an encounter, life, mutual love

If you say something, the words make me
Smell your hair, inhale it, and cuddle up closer
I don’t know, I don’t know, I won’t know just from appearance
So I want, I want to get deeper
It’s like a dream…

Set your heart in love on fire, cross through a thousand dreams
Run right and left, through the miracle of meeting
The clouds scatter and the sun goes down again
And two parades melt into the night sky

There’s a night everyone’s waiting for, deep in their pockets
I hope you’ve found someone who lights you up, swims to you when you hold out your arms
With the same scenery as you

Set your heart in love on fire, cross through a thousand dreams
Run right and left, through the world you hold in your hand
The clouds scatter and the sun goes down again
This incomplete parade moves everywhere
Mikansei no pareedo de doko made mo
An adventure, a lucky day, heartbeat rising, light and darkness, an encounter, life, mutual love…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here I come Japan!!! ^^ I just love December! Always the best mood of the year. hahaha… ^^

Looking forward to spending a wonderful and awesome Christmas and New Year with Bro, Shaz, Eugin, T-san and family and most of all, the utahime, Akina Nakamori! *muahahahahaha…

I wanna do some many things there in Japan’s winter.. eat ice cream and crepe, visit Meiji Jinku, eat Fuwa Fuwa, cook Bakuteh, watch an episode of Bleach and Naruto, relax, chill, enjoy the whole environment and the company…not forgetting work too!

As the song goes:

冒険 An Adventure.
吉日 A Lucky Day.
心拍 Heartbeat.
上昇 Rising.
明暗 Light and Darkness.
遭遇 An Encounter.
生命 Life.
相愛 Mutual Love.

Cheers to life and the loved ones in my life. ^^ I love you all.

牛仔很忙.

I’m really amazed how he can dance the squat steps. *suspicious look*

Maybe he has a stand-in for him… muahahahaha…

Darn.. now he can dance better than me. ><

Nevetheless, I really like this song. So him and so something new outta his usual arrangement.

Njoy. ^^v

Young Folks (Ich kann nix dafür)

A nice song with quite a catchy tune to it.

Heard it once on the radio, then just now I heard it again when someone used the music as their youtube video theme song. Apparently, the English version was nominated in this year’s MTV VMA (yes, the gimme more one). The German version seemed to be some movie soundtrack music video.

Coincidentally, both US and German band have 3 members, even the band name looks similar. US band name: Peter, Bjorn & John, German band name: Nena, Olli & Remmler. Music arrangements for both sounded the same too. Now not sure who came out first with the single and who’s the original. =p

Nevertheless, enjoy both pieces. I kinda like the German pronunciation for the song thou. hee. =)

Young Folks by Peter, Bjorn & John (Feat. Victoria Bergsman) (English Version)

Ich kann nix dafür by Nena, Olli & Remmler (German Version)

Young Folks Lyrics
if i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn’t lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn’t matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don’t care about the young folks
talkin’ bout the young style
and we don’t care about the old folks
talkin’ ’bout the old style too
and we don’t care about our own folks
talkin’ ’bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one would surprise me unless you do

i can tell there’s something goin’ on
hours seem to disappear
everyone is leaving i’m still with you

it doesn’t matter what we do
where we are going to
we can stick around and see this night through

and we don’t care about the young folks
talkin’ bout the young style
and we don’t care about the old folks
talkin’ ’bout the old style too
and we don’t care about our own folks
talkin’ ’bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

and we don’t care about the young folks
talkin’ bout the young style
and we don’t care about the old folks
talkin’ ’bout the old style too
and we don’t care about our own folks
talkin’ ’bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you
(repeat)
talking only me and you

talking only me and you
talking only me and you
