KEITA SIDE BY SIDE TOUR 2013 DVD/Blu-ray review

I went to Osaka for Christmas getaway and got the DVD from Tower Records there (because I had a 300 yen off coupon, and after my purchase they gave me another 500 yen one! XD;)

hello there~

I would love to have the Blu-ray with extra bonus, but unfortunately my always-broke student budget hasn't allowed me to get a Blu-ray reader yet. The Blu-ray comes with Making of Magic PV which is never public anywhere (exclusively available for streaming on mobile-only VISIONCAST, that if you paid monthly fee - however I think the extra in Blu-ray is a different edition), so consider getting it it you have updated your system to BR :D

♪ A little bit of you is all I need tonight...

Just a fast update:

w-inds. new single, "A Little Bit" is up in beyond the Distance. Feel free to share but credit me for the rip. And DON'T share my link.

The A side is good but a little bit overdone for me. However, all the B-sides are very strong, especially Rock Your Body and We'll Be Alright. Check it out yourself. And buy the CD!!


Edit: I saw a few request to beyond the Distance coming in after this post, so anyone who wants access please read this. Thanks.

Recently listened music review

Haha.

I wondered if anyone read my blog anymore, but after checking and see that there are still people reading my boring posts, I'm really grateful for that. Sorry I have always been slacking off and never finish my travel posts OTL.

So today's post is just about some new albums/singles I'm listening to. I don't have enough time and words to do a full review like UVERworld's "The One", but I'll include a brief description and my overall rating.

1. BONNIE PINK - Even So: 4/5

BONNIE PINK's 7th studio album released in 2004. It has always been my favorite album of her. Recommended track: Private Laughter, Ocean, 5 more minutes, Mint, Last Kiss - seriously, all 12 tracks are really good.


2. ALL CITY STEPPERS - Precious Girl: 3/5

New music (sort of)

These days I'm talking myself back to jazzy and unplugged music. I have discovered some great Japanese and Korean artists/albums so far, and I'm eager to share them. They are definitely not new (dated back in 2009-10), but I have just learned about them recently.

This single "萌 JAZZ" (read: Moe Jazz) released by an artist under the same name is currently my number 1 jam. Moe-y, squeaky vocal and jazzy music can make an addictive cocktail. Trust me.

UVERworld's THE ONE Review

Note 1: This is my first time doing review for an album/single... so don't judge hard.

Note 2: My knowledge about music is very limited. Bear with it.

Note 3: This is a review mainly based on the melody. I haven't got time to look up for all lyrics and their meanings.

w-inds. 10th Anniversary -Three Fourteen- at 日夲武道館 review

... or I'd rather call it w-inds. 428 live, considering that its very long name is easy to be misunderstood with the w-inds. 10th Anniversary -Three Fourteen- DVD box released earlier this year. T___T

anyway, I have to admit I haven't received my copy yet. ToT hopefully it'll arrive by the beginning of next week. Hopefully.

Even though I'm very much of a patient person here, I've been craving for this live DVD for too long. Then when I saw this illegal copy of the DVD in a regular music shop, I just bought it w/o much of a thought. It's not a very nice idea to buy illegal DVD (which has really good quality picture and sound, at a very cheap price of about 120 yen), but I also purchase the legit copy right? If possible, I highly recommend you buying this DVD, because, it's not like we'll ever spend another 10th anniversary of w-inds. - and the guys did a fabulous job to celebrate this special year with an anniversary live, which is so good that it still conquers all my minds 2 days after watching. Give it a try, okay? :D

So.... this post was supposed to be a review. But it' not really a review,  to be honest. For anyone who follows me on Twitter, they must have been used to my odd habit to watch w-inds. DVD and at the same time make their timelines flooded with my comments. This time it is not different from the others :P and here I'll simply re-blog all my tweets 2 days ago, with some sreencaps of the DVD. If you had been irritated enough by the tweets, feel free to leave now XD

********


WARNING: SPOILED. Screencaps and my crappy descriptions. LEAVE NOW if you wanna save your feeling for the 1st time watching this DVD :P

So, let's get started!

Be As One & Let's get it on preview - truly admired their works, make me confused and bewitched

w-inds. đã tham gia với vai trò khách mời trong 1 chương trình FM lúc 12 giờ đêm ngày 24/12/2010, và trong chương trình này ca khúc mới của các anh [Be As One] đã chính thức ra mắt (lần đầu xuất hiện là trong buổi live ở Yokohama Arena ngày 19/12). Giai điệu có thể gợi nhớ đến Now You're Gone nhưng Kei hát mộc mạc chứ không dùng nhiều kỹ thuật như Now You're Gone, đây là một bản ballad nhẹ nhàng màh w-inds's fan chắc chắn sẽ thích.
