Slow Webpages and Music Shows
Jan. 9th, 2007 11:01 pmA couple of days ago, my internet connection was very slow I couldn't open a webpage properly. I can't access to my own blog ^__^;; Plus Y!M is still a pain, my messages were lagged >___>
Since I am in the mood of blogging and putting my own review to different music shows that I have seen: CDTV SP and Japan Record Awards, this post will be a long one
I got some left-over AAA link:

Since I am in the mood of blogging and putting my own review to different music shows that I have seen: CDTV SP and Japan Record Awards, this post will be a long one
The first hour of this program is really boring because of the enka part... ~_____~ but the opening of this program is really good (LOL ayaka's Mikazuki)
The first real Jpop performance was EXILE and Koda Kumi's Won't Be Long (in which they got a special award) As usual Koda Kumi is "seducing" Atsushi on their performance LOL >____> But still I enjoyed their performance :D :D
The Gold Prize winners were the next performers. mihimaru GT's Kibun Joujo, Although I have seen this in every performance, they still put up a good live performance :D :D Plus Hiroko's dress is really cute ^__^;;
Then the next performer is w-inds. I have watched this before I have watched the whole show, and I still love their performance here in Japan Record Awards. Ryuichi greeted everyone with "Annyeong haseyo" LOL he was joking that the audience were Korean. This Boogie Woogie 66 is one of the best performances they had LOL The dance part is really sugoi O____O Keita is hawt and sexy on his dance part O_________O
BoA's Winter Love is okay. I like her black dress ^^;; I like Nakanomori Band. They put up a great live performance. So as Kobukuro and Sukima Switch ^^
After some performances, they presented the Best New Artist Nominee (except ayaka). Waaaaii Teppei is really cute :D :D It was really a touching scene when parents of SunSet Swish's members appeared on Japan Record Awards to support their sons... ^^ The SunSet Swish members were really surprised that their parents were watching them LOL
WaT performed Bokura no Love Story with Teppei playing the guitar while Wentz is playing the piano ^^
After some performances, they showed some clips of past winners' performances. It was a good scene that Keita is happily and energetically singing with the clips LOL ^^;; as well as ayaka, Ai Otsuka, Ryohei, Koda Kumi and Hiroko they were singing with the clip ^^;;
Then the announcement of Best New Artist was shown. Unlike last year's announcement where the nominees where in the stage, this year the nominees were sitting with the audience and the winner will stand up and go to the stage. Then ayaka's name was announced as the winner. She nervously went up stage and shed some tears ^^;; She was really surprised when her name was announced (WaT is a strong contender for this award). But she still pulled out a good live performance even if she is holding her tears while singing ^^;; (well she really deserved the award ^^;;)
The next award that was given was Best Vocal which was won by Koda Kumi (as expected). She was crying (because she was surprised and at the same time she was very happy)
The grand prize of Japan Record Awards was given to an enka singer ~___~ (yeah jpop in 2006 is kinda boring)

This is a 5 hour music special LOL ^^;; (I finished this in two days) ~___~ This music special is a mix of live performances and best hit single from 1993 - 2006 LOL
Some noteable events in this music special:
Koda Kumi has performed 6 songs in this special ~____________________~ She should have given the other spots for other artist LOL >___< (While Ayu has only performed 1 song LOL)
Whenever clips of Ayumi Hamasaki was flashed on the screen, other artists don't sing with the videos LOL but when other artists videos (especially Hikki's videos) they were happily and energetically singing with the clips LOL!
I feel pity for the Jpop artist that appeared on this show. It was already 12 midnight - 5 am when this was airing live. Hitomi Shimatani, Rina Aiuchi, and Ami Suzuki were present on the beginning of the show and they only got to perform at the last part of the show >____>
Hiroko (of mihimaru GT), Angela Aki, and Yuna Ito are good friends based on this music special ^^;;
TRF performed CRAZY GONNA CRAZY but I like AAA's version more
Hitomi Shimatani sang a couple of lines during their best karaoke song countdown... (the title was Hanamizuki)
DJ OZMA pulled up the same trick in CDTV SP like he did on Kouhaku LOOOOL
Some great lives:
ayaka - Mikazuki
mihimaru GT - Kibun Joujo / Itsumademo Hibiku kono melody
Angela Aki - Kiss me goodbye
SEAMO - Mata aimasho (and one song that has a good remix)
Rina Aiuchi - Glorious
Hitomi Shimatani - Destiny
CM talk:
Koda Kumi's Black Cherry cm was played several times, followed by Ayu's Secret album, Jyongri's Possession and AAA's All Album and EXILE's Lover's Again Single
Nakama Yukie is still pretty in commercials

Recently, there was a 2 hour documentary show about EXILE. The documentary showed the hardships that EXILE that they encountered last 2006.
The first hardship was Shun leaving EXILE. Atsushi (as well as the other members) was really crying when Shun announced that he will leave the group.
The next hardship was Atsushi's throat surgery because he had polyps on his throat. (That is why I wondered why his voice kinda changed). He had a surgery and then there were times that he was not allowed to speak and wrote only on a whiteboard. During he had to do some live performances, he has to bring nebulizer ^^;;. (He was crying when he was talking.. waaahh poor Atsushi >___<)
The other hardship was Matsu (the backup dancer of EXILE) has an incurable disease called Benecet's Vasculitis which already affected his left eye vision. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy... But he is really great, he said that he will continue performing and try his best ^^;; (Maybe that is why they added another dancer, Akira).
When they were interviewed, and the host asked Akira about his opinion with Matsu.. He can't speak.. He just cried.. He was really emotional... Same as Atsushi, he tries to hold his tears (he was wearing eyeglasses) (pats their backs)
Also on the documentary, it showed some clips during the 2006 EXILE Vocal audition. LOL Takahiro really improved his physiques after winning the audition! (Thanks to his winning piece, Unmei no Hito) LOL The clip also showed the finals wherein Atsushi sang Tada Aitakute (it was very emotional) then the announcement of Takahiro as the winner.
Some clips that were shown were their rehearsals, performance of Lovers Again on Rhythm Zone and rehearsal of Choo Choo Train (waaaahh I like Takahiro's vocals on that song)
Some picspam: (Well this is only Takahiro's pictures LOOOOOOL)

**His audition days LOOL (while waiting for his turn to sing)**

*While he was singing, Unmei no Hito... Lucky number??? 133 *

***A smile after announcing his victory**

**Waahhh huggles Takahiro, this clip showed his overwhelming emotions after he was chosen as the winner for EXILE vocalist**

***Inspite of all the hardships that they went through this year, they happily celebrated their 5th year anniversary :D :D (Yummy!!!)**
