I have finally watched the one ok rock yokohoma concert as seen on wowow. I love the energy of the concert! The laser lights were awesome! I think that was what JYJ had wanted to achieve in their last concert in Seoul, but failed to because of Mother Nature. I usually don’t really appreciate LED background, but this concert added a ‘bongga’ factor. The stage lights definitely were excellent. It added drama throughout the whole concert. The band, of course, was impressive.
The songs/acts that were shown in WOWOW:
1. Coda
2. Lost and Found
3. 皆無 (Kaimu)
4. 未完成交響曲(Mikansei Koukyoukyoku) – Unfinished Symphony
5. じぶんROCK (Jibun Rock)
6. Re:Make
7. 世間知らずの宇宙飛行士 (Sekenshirazu no Uchuhikoshi) – Naïve Astronaut
8. Mr.現代Speaker (Mr. Gendai Speaker)
9. アンサイズニア- Answer is Near
10. カゲロウ (Kagerou)
11. エトセトラ- Etcetera (Acoustic version)
12. Pierce
13. Chaosmyth
14. Let’s take it someday
15. Rock Scissors Paper
16. No Scared
17. 恋ノアイボウ心ノクピド- Koi no Aibou Kokoro no Cupid
18. 完全感覚Dreamer (Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer)
Again, their video is so simple yet so fitting~~! The scene where they suddenly see one another (at 2:22) must have been a bit awkward yet amusing to shoot. Haha
I love the melody of the song~! It’s so fricking catchy! It doesn’t feel so heavy for a rock song. I think this is a good, cheer-up, inspiring song (like their Convincing, but only better)! Especially with this line, “dream as if you’ll live forever, but live as if you’ll die today.” In short: Live life to the fullest. There are no official lyrics in the net as of yet, but, there is an unofficial one circulating somewhere~~.
Taka seems to be attached in writing English lyrics ^^; Not that it’s bad… He’s accent is sortof decent enough, and he can write good English sentences/phrases I guess… But, in some cases when you join all the phrases/sentences together, it becomes… weirdly amusing ^^; Like the sudden insert in [no scared]‘s: “I feel like a man.” =)) So I dunno… But, from what I could understand from listening to this song, they’re okay. For now. Must wait for the official lyrics.
But, yeh, overall, the song and music video is very good! ^^ Would recommend this song to nonfans (Although, I wonder why they chose to shoot at that place. Not that I don’t like it, just that maybe they had a reason why they chose there. Just curious.)
Currently listening to their 5th Album: Zankyo Reference (残響リファレンス) right now and I LAVET! I wonder if they sell One OK Rock albums in Korea… o_o (going to Korea next month!) They are sooooo gooood. =(^w^)= This is their best album yet! I hope they’ll rank higher than their previous albums in oricon!!! They deserve it for improving so much. \(TuT)/
2. [王力宏] Wang Leehom: 「依然愛你」 Still In Love With You
After that Open Fire [火力全开] uhm… song+video… Here is a medium-tempo ballad from our music-man, LeeHom! ^^ I love his ballads. ♥♥♥ They are all just so full of emotions! Base on the title, it’s obvious that the male lead in the song is still in love with someone. Lol.(I wonder if this is another leehom life story just like Mary Says and Forever Love)
This video is another open ending. (The other open ending was heartbeat [心跳].) I don’t know if they got together again, or if they just had a closure. Ohwell, it’s kinda fun that way I guess. Anyway, I like the music video. ^^ Apparently, based on the youtube comments, it’s a WongFu Production collab (?) video. And, WongFu seems to be quite famous with his/their video productions. ^^; Good job anyway~!! I like the calendar+clock concept.
The lyrics of the song is kinda sweet. I wonder if Leehom’s gonna put eng subs again in his videos haha ^^ If he didn’t I’ll try to translate it. Anyway, the gist of the lyrics is, “After so many years of you gone, I feel empty without you. I still love you a lot.” Yeh….. simple yet actually moving.
I wonder what his other songs in his new upcoming album would be. O_o I hope it would be a whole lot better than the previous. 18 Martial Arts is kinda meh… My fave album of his would be Heroes of the Earth and Heart Beat. Shangri-la was fun though.
3. Behind the scenes of a Moleskine video
Okay. So this isn’t really an MV, but the video is a lot of fun & cute~! It seems like they don’t have the final version yet though….
IT’S OUT! XDDDD ONE OK ROCK’s RE:make MV can now be viewed on their facebook! =DDD it has been out since Thursday’s afternoon I think.. (I am following their twitter account XD I almost kya-ed in the office ^^)
I love how they made the video! how they have infused facebook into their video. I wonder if the final MV will still look like that… The video is not in asketch’s youtube yet(yes I subscribed to it, too lol haha)
#mytoptenfavouritebands is trending in twitter, and it made me think/rethink who my favorite bands are =))
