KEITA performed Magic the first time at Beat Connection 4 months ago, and finally he decided to make it the lead song for his new album!
The PV came out last Friday, as full on PonyCanyon channel (I hope KEITA doesn't find me watching his PV in Fukuoka airport restroom offensive) and it's such a jam. Magnificent setting (apparently they hired a castle to film Magic), top-notch choreography and spot-on concept (who can say No to a vampire-KEITA?).
☆*:.｡. So w-inds. worldwide celebrated its 2nd birthday on 7/5!! o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

They showed the new PV of leading song, "Listen to the Rain" in last 2 FCLT lives in Tokyo. My friends went to both of them and.... looooool you should be there when Akuta told us about how it was XDDD
Save that for the full PV when it out, okay. Here are some live record, CM and teaser that we got now:
Today I gonna make a post about w-inds. appearance in Tokyo Girl Collection in Shanghai. The event was held last Saturday in Shanghai, China.
As some of you may know, w-inds. also attended in this fashion event in Japan last year (who can forget how awkward Keita was playing around with the models in the catwalk XD we used to making fun of it, pooooor Keita). This year a sister event was held in Shanghai, and w-inds. with their reputation for being friendship ambassador between Japan and China, was invited as a special gues performer.
There were some unexpected accidents happened through their staying in China, and I believe it did affect the mood quite a bit, however the boy gave everyone there a great performance, being the hightlight of the night, received the loudest cheer while werked up the whole arena!! I can't express how proud of them the Chinese fans are, as well as my feeling.
So let's just call it a success!
Now, enjoy the photos, vids and some very good-quality fancams below ;) feel free to spread them, just DON'T CREDIT THEM TO ME. None of them are mine; credit should be found in the photos or in descriptions of the videos.
My last post was 3 days ago....? Haha, you knew it.
By the way.
Today I want to show you guys something:
This is a live cover of Adele's famous hit "Rolling In The Deep" by Linkin Park. You can get other information in the description of the video :)
Watch it till the end. What do you think?
I've been a long-time follower of Linkin Park, and I have to admit that they have been on a slight flop in recent years. Their latest album is nice - they are experiencing new things and that's good - but I don't find myself hooked in their recent stuffs like how I was with Numb, Somewhere I belong... in the past. That's was a bit disappointing.
However, this performance successfully moved me to tears. Even thou I think Chester's voice has already passed its peak, the amount of emotion he pours in each word he sings is AMAZING. That's what made me cry so hard. The maturity he showed in the way he sings and expresses is something Adele couldnot do (sorry any Adele's fan but that's the truth).
They are still at their very young stage - especially the vocal who is only 11 - and very potential. I can keep my eyes on them from now on, watching how they will grow and getting more and more excellent; just thinking of it makes me so much happy.
Sometimes I can't help feeling so blessed that I was born with the ability to understand the beautiful world of sounds and music - it's something I cannot live without, just like a tree desperately needs water and light to live on. If - just if, someday I got caught in a critical situation - whatever it is - the only thing I need is a music player. iPod, mp3 player, music box.... anything. With good music. I will listen to it, keep playing...... until I die. And I will die happily.
A promo vid is also uploaded to Vision Factory channel. RYUICHI HAS HAIR AGAIN OMG
Haha they look funny so bamf.
They also were guested on Music Fair last Saturday. Lemme tell you, this is the most fun Music Fair episode I've ever seen so far, and I dare to say our boys werked up the atmosphere - ofc Ryuichi is the cutest XDD (nah I'm not biased).
cruel!Keita is cruel. I have no word for his cocky attitude, but oh god, that's just how he is right? Can't help myself from reminding myself of a fanfic named "Anything" by ViVi.... in which Keita is such an asshole, bullying his groupmate (Ryuichi ofc) *giggle*. You pooooooor boy, oh Ryu~~~
Btw.
Hope this perfect Ryohei would cheer up your day somehow:
Actually I did think of using this pic as blog background... but it just feels wrong if it's not all 3 of them. Even thou this cap is perfect *sigh*
Blogging everyday is definitely not my thing. I keep forgeting about it =_____=
Sorryyyyy~
So there's 11 days left. right? I'm very excited to watch the live performance which will be broadcasted next Saturday on Music Fair, 18:00 JST. Everyone can watch via KeyHole, so don't miss it!!!
Today's treat are screencaps of my favorite dance moves in FLY HIGH:
They could totally do this in Put Your Hands Up!! XD
Looks cooool. Actually this is a move in New World - w-inds. includes some other songs' discographies in FLY HIGH, I bet you also realized they are familiar ;)
I also have something new to announce. Yesterday I started a side-channel of witchxUsagi's YouTube, witchxUsagi2, where I'll post TV shows/performances/etc which are likely to be removed for copyright infringements. If the channel die, just set up a new one lol but I don't want to lose my main account at all cost, so this is what I came up to. Feel free to subscribe, since it's the only way to keep updated of my uploads - all videos will not being tagged with w-inds., so a simple search cannot find them :)
Have fun there, and I hope it won't be suspended soon!! LOL
w-inds. new PV for upcoming single, 「FLY HIGH」 was revealed in Music Japan 3 days ago! :D And just tell you, I love it to bits!!!
It has never been mentioned in my blog before, but for a long time New World has been the number 1 PV for me, and to be honest I doubted if it can be replaced soon. Addicted to love, Let's get it on and You & I are very nice, but they have never been somewhere near the place of NW in my heart.
However, things suddenly changed with 「FLY HIGH」 ! :*:・(￣∀￣)・:*:
I love everything about this PV. Even thou NW is still my no.1 (I'm the faithful type, that is. XD), I can tell that FLY HIGH has come very close. In fact I'm more impressed about the PV than the song itself - it's a beautiful, supporting song with ver touching lyrics - everyone will love it. But not catchy enough to make me listen to it non-stop, haha.
Now, please enjoy!
By the way, this official preview made it way to get more than 30,000 views after 2 days and ranked #31 on the YouTube music ranking in Japan, while w-inds. Official YouTube channel is the Most View music channel in Japan today. It is amazing!!
A side news - w-inds. official Tenchen Weibo (just call it QQ lol) account is currently having more than 1.8 million follower! Impressing huh? Such a power if all the Chinese fans get together, haha XDDD
Wish you all a nice day!

Anyway.
I'm thinking of doing a countdown to FLY HIGH release in this blog. Maybe I'll post a high-quality cap of FLY HIGH PV (at 1920x1080 px resolution :D) each day. Let's see if I have time (｀・ω・´)ゞ♪
Many things happened recently. Good things, bad things. I thought of blogging about them many times, but as always, I did nothing. Just as expected from me, I never tell anyone about my deepest thought, even to a diary or my blog. Haha.
Anyway, recently (exactly it's yesterday :P) I went pass a very interesting clip on tudou. It's a fanvid about KeiRyu - well I'm pretty sure you know what I'm talking about - it's a fanvid dedicated to the "couple" KeiRyu. LOL I myself have always been interested in this field, and KeiRyu is my favorite pair from w-inds. But that's not exactly what caught my attention. At the opening, music starts playing and it's a slow piano piece which is always my weak point. I decided that I should check this out and... just 10 seconds later, I found myself gasping and my hands were on my mouth to keep my sobs lower. I'm not exaggerating, that's exactly what I did. The vid is very well made, all small clips taken from Love is message, Izayoi no Tsuki, Yakusoku no Kakera, Keita's Michishirube and some tour documents are jointed together to create a beautiful but sad love story.
I think I watched it about 4-5 times consecutively and decided that I want to share it to a bigger playground, YouTube. Contacting the uploader, ivan is not too hard, luckily a girl I met on Twitter is her friend ^^ they even sent me the original video. And here is what I want to introduce you:
Even if you are not interested in KeiRyu or boys' love in general, I suggest you check it out. Background music is sountrack of a Chinese drama, "你是我一首唱不完的歌 -You're my Everlasting Song-". It's sad and way too emotional and suits the story-line totally. All about this vid is made perfectly, I have to say.
Yesterday I randomly passed by this very cute video.
It is a part of an w-inds.M episode which theme is "English", and they talked about Ryuichi's experience in learning foreign language. There was also this short vid of Ryuichi chatting with 3 foreign men, according to my blurry memory, which is likely coming from the same w-inds.M episode but I cannot find it around :(
Listen to his accent, it does sound similar to that guy from the old version of Vision Factory News on YouTube (what's his name? *____*). Maybe it's a Japanese accent? I'm not sure, but it's just so cute :P
