The End of a Chapter

[witchblade]

"Still just an ordinary Sunday" - This is how I can describe my Sunday LOL >__< 

Waaaaiiii I have finished reading Death Note manga.. LOL xD xD After some dragging parts, I have finally finished reading it! LOL!!!!!!!!! (*applauds myself*)

Also last night, I finished watching EXILE's Perfect Best Live Tour DVD! I really like this group!!! xD xD I just found out that MakiDai and USA can also rap xD xD and not just dance LOL ^^;; Atsushi's former group, COLOR also guested on that live performance and GLAY... (Taka, the one who joined the EXILE's vocalist audition and also a member of COLOR, decided to form a new group together with the 3 finalist of EXILE's vocalist audition.. So we'll just have to watch for them having their debut single). Also on the live tour DVD, everyone cried ^___^;; They were very emotional in that live tour.. (Maybe because it will be the last time they would have a live tour with Shun as EXILE member)

I finished downloading NTV's Best Artist Special (LOL I'll write a review on that tomorrow ^^;;)

BoA appeared on CNN TalkAsia. She was interviewed about her life as a pop star.. ^^;; And LOL she revealed that she has a crush on Justin Timberlake (too bad he is taken) and cleared up some rumors about her.. But she looks soooo haggard at that interview... ^^;;

As I was browsing the net, the Japan's version of Grammy's announced the awardees!!!!

ayaka really deserves the award more than WaT (I read on some other posts that her album belongs to the top 16 spot for this year ^^) Hmm.. I just hope that Takahiro will join EXILE in singing Won't be long LOL (for him to redeem himself o__O;;)
