the Japanese are so admirable!!

Well, i'm really glad that the Johnny's Family Club issued an official statement saying that everyone is safe.

What i would like to say is how impressed i am with the Japanese people!!! They really rise up above the adversity and display kindness, generosity and consideration ^_^

I read some of the twitter posts of the Japanese and here are some of the highlights:

- people only buy what they need from supermarkets/convenience stores and leave stock behind for others to buy

- at supermarkets/convenience stores, they pick up stock from the floor due to the earthquake, place them back on their shelves and quietly queue at the cashiers for their turn

- some give out free food/drinks from their stores/homes to people

- some open up their stores/offices for people to use their bathrooms or to rest

- even at a congested intersection, people give way with a smile and a wave, with no horning or beeping, only the occasional beep to thank the person for giving way

- the youth give away their money to donation boxes, giving up on booze and games

- they queue up in an orderly manner to get onto the congested trains

- private cars driving by congested train stations offer rides to people heading the same way

etc etc etc...

it makes me ashamed of my own country... will we be able to react in such a way?

Prayers for Japan...

Massive earthquake and tsunami in Japan today, lotsa prayers for Japan.

Lord, please protect Japan!!

According to this website, http://boku-kami.jugem.jp/?eid=661
Tegoshi, Ryou-chan and Yamapi are all accounted for... the latest is that there is no fixed news, just a statement that the NEWS members are all fine.

Prayers with the rest of the members and even those who are safe!!

Let's all intercede for the nation of Japan!!

Aoi Bench Single - TegoMass

I just heard all the songs in the single today ...

It's quite sad that there is only one B-side song together with the single .. I mean, its TegoMass.. and they CAN sing!! usually there are at least 2 to 3 B-side songs accompanying the single..

That aside, i liked the cover single Aoi Bench! not being biased, but i think TegoMass sings better than Sasuke (oops i said it :X) ... but the harmony is not easy! i shall have to learn it real well!!

BUT! the funny thing is, i liked the Acoustic version MUCH better... i have no idea why. i guess it showcases their voices more and i like the simplicity of the track :)

AND of course, Sotsugyo Album (Graduation Album) was soooooooo good. Surprisingly, the song had no harmony whatsoever.. it surprised me because TegoMass specializes in harmonies hehe. but it is such a touching song!! i am contemplating on using this song to make a video to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of knowing my dearest sistas!!

hmmm.. now i just have to figure out how to use windows movie maker ...

thank God for good looking men who can sing so well!! ^_^

Takachiho Gorge, Japan

You can even rent a boat and take a leisurely cruise down the river!!

God's creation is absolutely wonderfully splendidly fantabulous!! the place has volcanic basalt columns!! hello?!?!

That aside, can't wait to see the whole line-up of promotions that TegoMass would be doing for their new single!!

If only I can bring Shige along ...

Haha, as the title says ... i would be going to some really nice places for a holiday and if only Shige can come along to help me snap these wonderful scenes for my memory ...
