[昨日より赤く明日より青] of Generations from Exile Tribe

We all experienced that, right? Turning red out of anger and frustration chasing after what we desire, yet, at the end of the day, we are still lonely, alone, and blue?

I think this is what makes the song [昨日より赤く明日より青] of Generations from Exile Tribe relatable. We have all experienced thriving, surviving, and pushing ourselves to the limit, to the point of alienating ourselves from those we love.

[昨日より赤く明日より青] is the theme song for their Cinema Fighters Project where six of the members starred in individual short movies, and the vocalists sang the theme songs for two of the shorts.

How today started

I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning, and I decided to watch "One in a Hundred Thousand" and "Ride Your Wave."

What a way to start my day.

PS.
Shirahama Alan played the role of the male protagonist in One in a Hundred Thousand, while Katayose Ryota voiced the male protagonist for Ride your Wave. Both actors are members of the group Generations from Exile Tribe.

It was their group, Generations from Exile Tribe, who sang the theme song for both movies - Star Travelling (One in a Hundred Thousand) and Brand New Story (Ride Your Wave) respectively.

Any GENE fans out there? (~_^)

Catchphrase to dare

“Alan will be proud.”

This is my sister’s new catchphrase. She is referring to Alan Shirahama, who by the way is a Jollibee fan.

My sister usually uses the phrase when we mention anything about Jollibee or if we do something Filipino-related. Recently, she has been using it a lot because I mentioned to her my plans for my daughter’s birthday (will post a different entry for that).

It has come to a point where we sort of had a dare about it.

The dare is, I will post on Instagram, pictures of my daughter’s birthday, which by the way has some Filipino influences. The caption has to be “Alan will be proud” I have to tag Alan Shirahama. It does not end there, Alan has to react, or else I lose the dare.

The odds are next to impossible but hey, what am i to lose right?

Will update... if there is anything to update.

Indigo 4

this was last 2010 but i only heard/saw it recently.

posting because the Takagi twins are here and because Kousei Amano is also here. (^_^)

happy 29th birthday zukki!

kamen rider fourze/ blooming

last episode of KR fourze.

thanks for a great year.

to the cast and crew,

you all did a great job! おつかれさまでした! otsukare-sama deshita! (^_^)

below is the song "blooming/saite" the rendition of the kamen rider girls.

this song was used in two episodes, the second time was on the last episode yesterday.

it wasn't really the usual ending you'd see for a kamen rider series,

but i would say, it seems consistent with what the main character would really do. (^_^)

enjoy!

family/ movie day

sunday is always family day.

as much as possible, we would stay at home or do things with the whole family.

this sunday, we went out for a family lunch then we watched the movies we liked.

papa, mama and ryo watched the movie Brave.

while rei and i watched Sadako 3D.

the reason for watching the movie was pretty obvious,

Seto Koji (^_^) and Yamamoto Yosuke.

i wont deny that we were feeling a little arrogant while inside the theater.

hontou ni gomenasai! m(_ _)m

half day

i woke a little earlier that usual to prepare breakfast for about 9 people.

there is nothing unusual that.

what is unusual is that after preparing and eating breakfast,

i slept half of the day.

not even on a bed,

i was sleeping on an reclined, cushioned chair.

no neck pains or anything.

just plain unusual for me.

when i woke up, it was lunch time.

add to that, i had a dream that felt so real.

in my dream, our aunt came here at our house with a foreigner.

she wanted me to take her blood pressure but she wasn't exactly cooperative.

i felt i was skipping from dream to reality,

to the point that when i woke up,

i asked my sister if our aunt arrived.

there was also a part on my dream where i saw a cover of a dvd movie with furukawa yuuta and suzuki hiroki (zukki).

it looked like they were walking along the beach talking and laughing,

and they each had a surfing board with them.

i wonder...

(~_~)

tokumei sentai go-busters

this summer is getting interesting for me. (^_^)

other than the usual outings and get togethers,

i am also excited with the shows i am following every week.

recently, i've started to watch the new sentai series,

tokumei sentai go-busters.

when the news about the new sentai series was announced,

i only knew one actor who was part of it.

baba ryouma, who plays blue buster.

only when the series started did i find out that i also knew the actor who played the villain, sho jinnai. (^_~)

this made me more excited about watching the series.

i already watched episode 8 and surely, jinnai makes the episodes pretty exciting.

good job!

hope to watch the succeeding episodes. (^_^)

another show to watch out this next coming weeks is the kamen rider series, kamen rider fourze.

i realized that they already have 31 episodes.

all of them i have been following and watching. (^_^)

the recent episode was just heartbreaking.

i'm so hooked with these tokusatsu tv series. (^_^)

new phone

last night, i lost my phone.

it was really my fault, but i don't feel bad losing it.

please don't get me wrong.

i myself can't explain why i did not feel bad about losing it.

i guess i'm just really not easily attached to my things like before.

of course i have to ask for the contact numbers of my friends but hey, i can easily as them in facebook right?

anyways, moving on. (^_^)

i bought a new phone today.

well, not really new because it's second hand but i still like it. (^_^)

it's a SoftBank phone.

i've been wanting to have a phone like this ever since i saw the Sunday pv of furukawa yuuta a few years ago. (^_~)

coincidentally, i bought my phone on a sunday. (^_^)

from kamen rider fourze

Gen-chan: "is this..." (resignation letter)

Teacher: "i didn't get a chance to hand it in. it's been in my bag for a year now. i realized people who keep talking about how they're going to quit usually never do. i might love kickboxing, but i'm not confident that i could make a living doing it. it's just like you said, i don't know what to do."

G: "if you're not sure, doesn't that mean that you're hanging onto what might be possible?"

-*-*-*-*-*-

when i saw this, it immediately hit me.

i saw part of myself in that teacher.

oh theater and dancing~

(~_~)

treat

treats i got today!

rice crackers from dave! (^_^)

to tell you all the truth,

i don't even know where to buy this,

but i'm sure i'm closer to the place where i can buy it and i don't even know. (>_<)

next treat is a strawberry and banana blizzard from dairy queen (DQ). (^_^)

it was my tribute to the birthday man, tsuchiya yuichi, popularly known as tuti of pnish*

おいしい!

practice

today was the first day of practice for a dance performance for saturday, january 14.

the performance will be at a large and popular venue.

other details in a few days.

i feel great that i practiced dancing again, specially the fact that the dace now is jazz!

i am more of a jazz person than the hip hop. (^_~)

everyone please wish us luck because we still have lots to practice and we only started practicing today. (>_<)

ja~

ps. my headband reminded me of tomo's headband during the natsudoko 2010 and some tenimyu actors who wear a headband like so. (^_^)

"next"

minna-san, do you remember nagayan in dream live 7 when he was asked something, he answered it straight away and then said "next!" as if avoiding further interrogation  and questions for him about it?

well, i impulsively did the same thing after our biochemistry exam yesterday every time someone asked me about it. (>_<)

in short, i was avoiding anymore discussion about that exam and i just wanted to move on and study for the next exam (we had three exams yesterday).

talking about tenimyu fan. (^_~)

刹那 ～ a sandglass of fate ～

刹那 ～ a sandglass of fate ～ by U (Shirota Yu)

i've known the song since it went out,

but it is only a few days ago when i had a strong feeling to make a dance for this song.

happy 20th birthday taito!

the title says it all~ ♥

(^_^)

mike

"Mike you flirt!"

this was out joke yesterday between me, my sister, and "Mike" (^_^)

Mike is actually a close friend of ours.

we sometimes ask favors from him in his facebook account.

we would ask him to change his profile pic (and in my case, his civil status), (^_~)

based from our favorite j-idols/ j-actors.

last oct 3, mike and i were "married" and he changed his profile pic to zukki's pic,

because it was zukki's birthday and i really appreciate zukki as an actor.

today, rei asked mike to change his profile pic and civil status because it was rei's 18th birthday,

and also watanabe shu's birthday (one of rei's favorite actors). (^_^)

the result was the pictured liked above.

(^_^)

blue moment

i made a slideshow of the pictures of the cast from the Be With Butterfly Effect: Blue Momert version.

these are pictures from the playbill? and screencaps from the Blue Moment version of the said play.

DISCLAMER: i do not own anything.

liar game the final stage

"i would rather be deceived than lose faith of other people."

i wonder i could say the same?
