Well I guess I'm not doing all that bad now. I ended up being a lot more pleased with Utada's new english album This Is The One. Although I still listen to BoA's recent album, it's not as much as when I first bought it. Seems like it may have just been a phase. However, right now we're preparing for our move so all my CDs are packed and I have to listen to just whatever I have on my computer. We're heading for Mississauga at the end of the month, and I couldn't be more excited. I've never lived in a big city before, but after just going there to view apartments I'm thrilled. There's so much right there near where we'll be. I CAN'T WAIT!!
Getting back to music and such, I've been rather dissapointed with Kumi Koda lately. I just saw the tracklist and some clips from her 2009 Trick Tour and I was flat out disgusted really by half the stuff. The outfits are tacky and she performed the 3 most annoying songs she has. And I don't mean to offend next, but she had Fergie and Black Eyed Peas there for a special Guest Performance! I honestly can't stand their music or performing. And to top it all off, a couple outfits looked like complete rip offs of stuff Ayumi Hamasaki's done in the past. Again, am very dissapointed with her for this tour. Also, her new single's pretty good for NOW HER, but she really used to always bring out such unique and creative yet cool and sexy songs and music videos. Her latest song Lick me was catchy, but unlike what you'd expect from the title the music video is "Cutesy Over Kill". However, the songs Extasy and Hashire make up for that music video with two ones that aren't nowhere near as bad. Although she's doing these things I'd still call myself a fan. I just really hope she comes around soon. She has TALENT. I just wish she'd use it to her full potential again.
As for other artists, I've been listening to Hikaru Utada and Ayumi Hamasaki a lot more lately. I loved Utada's This Is The One. She's never let me down, but she's very different as an artist and even as a person than any of other celebrity or performer at any point in time really. As for Ayumi, her latest album was great. Just the one last music video was kinda boring. Aside from that one thing, it was excellent. To be totally honest I splurged and bought a ton of the merchandise from her new Arena Tour 2009 Next Level concert. Here's just a list.

I don't think I've ever spent that much on concert goods before, but all the stuff was great. Also, the Music Box was a bit pricey, but it was also extremely limited so it's a good collectable I can brag about to other Ayu fans.

Let's see, as for other things, I've just gone into the past again to go down the well in Ocarina of Time. I haven't had much time to really play with all the packing and cleaning etc. Things have been kinda hectic there in that area. I dunno, I guess for casual stuff there hasn't really been a ton. I went swimming yesterday, and we had a little something for my roommate's birthday. Still he was very excited and happy when he opened the gift from us. We got him a PS3 with the HD Cables and a couple games to start him off. Speaking of birthdays mine is also coming up next month. I can't believe I'm almost 24.

*sighs* And I know I say this like every time, but I'm kinda starting to worry now if I've lost the magic for doing stories or something. I just can't concentrate quite like I used to.

Anyways, I G2G now. Ja ne.
