Sound too good to be true? (Yup,u suspected it right) 


*life lesson note:anything that sound too good to be true probably isn't true

So,what could go possibly wrong with this cheap and beautiful mansion??(okay,maybe not that beautiful since the mansion has been build for a long time)

Murder!!

 Apparently the owner of the mansion was stabbed with a sharp object and the murder weapon is never recover.

Perhaps the owner spirit still reside there?awaiting to take revenge on it's murderer Or you know the saying "ghost does not exist and you think too much and sorry if you read this at night"(okay,I came out with that randomly) Nevertheless,the mansion still stands to await it's new owner...

(Music)J-pop song recommendation for may‏

For this week post,this will be about the music recommendation for the month of May 2016

So a little bit about myself,I have only been listening to j- pop song since about three years ago,at that time I was listening to english pop but was getting more and more disappointed as it was just rap song after rap song and full of electronic dance music,being someone that prefer instrumental music I was desperate for new music,metal and dance music(e.g english metal and k- pop) was not really my kind of thing,simply put i just needed a new genre,it was only that I chance upon people playing the song "heavy rotation"at the jubeat machine in the arcade,I was suddenly struck so how catchy the song is and the rest is history.

*note 
The music that I recommended in this post does not necessarily mean that the single are release in the month of May 2016,it just that i listen and downloaded the music for the first time in that month So anyway here are the top 5 j- pop song that are not in no particular order that I recommend in the month of May


1.Utada Hikaru-(花束を君に hanataba wo kimini)



credits:http://aramajapan.com/news/utada-hikaru-to-release-new-singles-hanataba-wo-kimi-ni-and-manatsu-no-tooriame-april-15th/56906/

This definitely belong in the genre of ballad,I am sure many of you would immediately think of the song first love the moment utada hikaru is mention,personally I haven listen to first love even once but after listening to hantaba wo kimini I can understand why she live up to her name of being one of the more prominent j-pop artist

*japan should really promote more on youtube.....

2.anderlust-( 帰り道 kaerimichi)



picture credit:http://www.play-asia.com/kaerimichi/13/709usl

Anderlust is definitely a first for me,Japan seem to have quite a few of these duo group(e.g flipside and garnedelia),this was a pretty good pop song for 2016,I think?the chorus is probably the strong point for this song making it,I also like the singer voice in it

3.Getsu no kiwami otome (ゲスの極み乙女)-Otonatic(オトナチック) 



picture credits:http://aramajapan.com/news/music/newrelease/gesu-no-kiwami-otome-announces-new-single-otonatic-muku-na-kisetsu/22266/

This is definitely on the list,the starting of the piano get you hook to the song in no time,along with various other instrument usage in the song,this song may be on a little weird side but it's definitely a good song to get you rev up,this is also the first song I heard from this group,I am definitely going to hear more from them

*finally,one with youtube video link

4.silhouette from the skylit-growing pain



picture link:http://redmp3.su/28221655/silhouette-from-the-skylit-22.html

This is quite an awesome song if you like japanese rock,,this is another song that would bring the mood up,i would definitely recommend you to try out this song out

5.chicken line(チキンLINE)-SKE48




picture credits:http://stage48.net/wiki/index.php/Chicken_LINE

 An idol song,how could japanese pop be complete without idol song which are just full of genki!it's been ages since ske48 has release a pretty catchy music,on the other hand nogizaka 46 has been releasing pretty decent music lately(but that a story for another day).sadly,with matsui rena graduated from ske48,matsui jurina is left to continue the legacy of ske48,check out the full force of jurina in chicken line mv!


video:http://en.musicplayon.com/play?v=898063

Final word:I have always love a little mix of song from pop,ballad,rock and instrumental and this is why I really like j-pop a lot,where it really offer a diversity of song,if you are feeling happy,you can listen to the numerous cheerful idol song and if you are feeling sad and in need of a ballad many soloist jpop singer can offer that.

"Happy rotation time!"

Free house in japan!!

Its been a really long time since i post,i lost my password to this website a while back and now finally found it!!So,i am gonna start with some last year post....


Yes,you heard me right(or rather,you saw me wrote)

(in case you were wondering,i refering to my title)

A free house in Japan! I know what you are thinking(there must a catch somewhere) 


Unfortunately, you are wrong,there is absolutely nothing weird going on in this house at least nothing like.. The ghost from ju-on?(man,that movie was good,i would write about this another day...)

credit:http://www.amazon.com/Ju-Kei-Ohishi/dp/159582071X

 or perhaps Teletubbies?? 

credits:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11310883/The-baby-from-Teletubbies-reveals-herself.html

(Hahaha,me and my imagination) Anyway,from the sources in rocket news it seem that the reason why the house is being available for free is because to get to the house after you e.g park your car is very troublesome,as you have to snake your way through a narrow path all the way to the house. Apparently,the previous owner got tired of snaking through this path day by day and finally decided to move out to save himself trouble. Here is picture that show what the house look like 







 Ah!!!it come with a sea view too I dun know about you but personally I can see my retirement life being relaxing:)

Trip:gundam docks in singapore!‏

Firstly,i must apologise for not posting in a long time due to exam issue,anyway as promise here is the review of gundam dock in singapore!

(Finally,I am down just one more exciting event in June to review,phew!)

Personally,I got into the gundam franchise around the time when gundam seed and gundam seed destiny aired at that time I was probably only about 8-9 year old and always look forward to the 11pm Saturday kids show they offered on television and that time the show being aired was gundam seed(Come to think of it,that was probably one of the earliest time that watch anime,I didn't knew that Pokémon was also another anime until much later on)

Anyway,piloting a gigantic robot was probably the dream of every small kid(maybe its only me...)and of course the action scene got me hook onto the gundam seed,it wasn't until about two years ago where I decided to watch gundam again,this time being the latest series`gundam build fighters`.sure,maybe gundam has become plastic toy in the anime series but I still enjoy the action scene although I am still quite blur with the explanation of the plavursky particle on how it enable the gundam to move.

Okay,enough with my rattle let get this started!

Presenting the entrance of gundam docks!
 

 Along with its two guardian at the entrance

Rx-78





zaku warrior








Here are the more human size mini zaku along the entrance pathway

                                                


 Our Overall event area






And the star of gundam docks!

Our very own sg50 version of RX78-2!






And the cute looking bearguy3 from gundam build fighter!

                                                


And various other gundam...

Featuring freedom or is it destiny gundam?(would never differentiate between them,i think its destiny gundam)






build burning try






Judgement:overall,it is a pretty small event,with a few activities such as the new gundam PlayStation game tryout and building your own gundam workshop(a pity I was able to only stop by for awhile),still after my trip to chara expo it would be certainly hard to beat that experience(perhaps Singapore afa 2015?)

Akb48 new single to have an halloween theme‏

Apparently,Akb48 up and coming single has been confirmed to have an Halloween theme.

Well...for a Halloween music video,I think we can expect akb48 member being dress up as ghost or some sort,I hope.sources have also state that it would be similar to koisuru fortne cookie(32nd akb single) and kokoro no placard(37th akb single)

It would be even more cooler if they could make a music video as cool as uza-which I think it would have fit in the Halloween theme very well

Judgement:whatever it is,I would be rooting for akb48 to step up their game as their song standard is not as good as before,personally I thought green flash(39th akb single) was a pretty good start for the year but then come bokutachi wo tatakawanai(40th akb single)which kind of disappoint me,

Also,by going the same formula again like koisuru fortune cookie and kokoro no placard this really start to bore me.I know idol music are nor that top grade but i really want that akb48 and their sister group to really step up their game.

For the past 2 month,i have started to listen to nogizaka46(akb48 rival group) and I really think some of their song are pretty good like e,g seifuku no mannequin (nogizaka46 4th single)and inoichi wa utzukushii(nogizaka46 11th single).No doubt they are not as establish as akb48 and their sister group but with the rate that they are going,I would say they are doing quite well.

Let me know what you guys think of nogizaka46!

Trip:chara expo part 2‏

Continuing from part 1... 

So after mashiro ayano live,I visited the akb48 treasure card store where I brought this clear folder from the store. 

 And now featuring...babymetal costume!!

 Pity that there wasn't any babymetal performance though.... 

 After that I try my hand at the yo-yo fishing,where you have to use something like a hook and pick up the ball,(cannot seem to find my ball....)

More cosplayer photo...

I headed off to the card games area where I was given a crash course in card fight!vanguard and future card buddyfight(I was happy to know that I would keep the deck after that) 

(cardfight!vnaguard)

(Future card buddyfight0

I wanted to learn Wixoss too but around this time something interesting was happening at the wrestling arena,so i quickly head there...

(It turn out there was a match going on)

On the other hand while the wrestling match is going on,nearby mashiro ayano was having a live autograph session for the fan that brought her CD. That was probably one of climax for this chara expo. 

Get ready for a barrage of mashiro ayano photo! 

(this was a good shot but i was too nervous at that time)

(Realise that maybe changing camera setting would be better...) 

After mashiro Aryano live autograph session,I continue to walk around the chara expo to snap more picture of cosplayer 

So for the last event of the day I headed to the main stage where maon kurosaki would perform

Some Info:At the time of writing,maon kurosaki has release about 9 singles and her notable song include her 7th single(rakuen no tsubasa) and 8th single(setsuna no kajitsu) for the anime"Fruit of grisala" 

I did not manage to take any photo this time round due to event helper going around to catch people from taking pictures of her performance but nevertheless,i had managed to secure quite a good seat near the stage. 

The event started of with the introduction of the people who were behind the creation of the `fruit of grisala` anime series.Before moving on to the singing performance,where maon kurosaki sang rakuen no tsubasa and setsuna no kajitsu. Her emcee between her performance were quite enjoyable particularly one exchange,here goes..

Maon kurosaki:Do you all like anime song?(minna,anisong dasuki wa?) 

Audience(response):We like anime song!(anisong dasuki!) 

Maon kurosaki:That mean we have the same hobby!so,if we have the same hobby,that mean we are friend right? 

Audience(responce cheerfully):right! (P.s At this point I totally cracked up at that logic,but sure anything to get the crowd going sound good to me) 

All good time,of course come to an end and we(audience) soon reluctantly wave hand and shout "bye bye" to her as she exit the stage 

Judgement:Overall,i had a fun time and in my opinion chara expo is more enjoyable then anime festival Asia due to the variety of program show such as artise showcase and the wrestling performance,this is really one event that I would really look forward to come again next year! Stay tune to next week review about gundam docks in Singapore!
