1 – Sorry I didn’t approve comments or pay attention to my site for about a week. I could make excuses but it basically comes down to: I’m a lazy shit when I’m not at work.

2 – The only reason I’m not registering at nihongogo.com is because my online life is already fairly active, and how am I supposed to hang around a message board AND write filthy homoerotica at the same time? I can’t. I just can’t, and it pains me.

3 – ENUMERATED LISTS.

4 – I’m seeing a lot of vlogs popping up now. Side-eyein’ y’all for real.

I grab my own boobs at one point in here, talking about Yuko Oshima.

I just DO that, okay?

Two separate takes. The first was made of shakycam and dreadful hair. There are a couple of clips from that take at the end.

The whole Dom-beard thing is over now. He shaved. Thank god. I love how if he goes one day without looking impeccable the entire fanbase freaks out.

Possibly, Ayumi Hamasaki did something this week, but I’m taking a short break from her. :/

OBLIGATORY DOM HOWARD PIC:

CAN I JUST.

In this episode: My cat. A massive amount of crap on my bed. Haircuts. AKB48 turn into candies. Can we eat them? 0___o

Aika joke. My Takahashi Ai impression.

Nine Muses don’t “suck” so much as “their songs bore me after one minute”. It’s just disappointing as all hell.

And since I think I’m under some contractual obligation with my pants to put up a picture of Dominic Howard with every post these days, here:

Begrudgingly putting up with Matt Bellamy's stupid shit since 1994.

This is how John F. Kennedy won an election. THE POWER OF MASS MEDIA AND GOOD HAIR.

Hi, Nihongogo.com

I’m actually not as angry as I seem in the videos. Really I’m not.

More AKB soon. And I’ll try to work on my pronunciation.

Oh that, I'm going to bed. Don't break my shit.

SO YEAH.

Can pictures of Dominic Howard REALLY cheer me up after this news?

"Yeah, good luck with that."

…*sigh*

ETA: I made this

Life is really going down the shitter for me, again, through no fault of my own, and I made this yesterday before things got all shitty once more. So, I’m not feeling my best. Be gentle with my snark. My snark loves you. Most of all, keep in mind that none of this is aimed at you! :D I’d still very much like to go enjoy about four bottles of Asahi right now, if you’re paying! Let’s go get drunk, Pink Wota readers!

A-K-BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-48 EDITION!! (plus something about Socko’s Modern Life)

Whatchu want me to talk about on Wotas Gonna Wot, Pink Wota Readers? I know all twelve of you must have something that begs my commentary. I’ll try. I promise I’ll try to promise to try.

I don’t know, life is really weird right now.

Check out my dance.

Since I’m absolutely horrible about writing lately, but I STILL HAVE THINGS TO SAY, I figured I’d throw them into a vlog which I hope will be weekly. It will probably, honestly, be “whenever I fucking feel like it”, which will hopefully be more than I feel like writing.

Then, after I have about five or six episodes of this under my belt,. I’ll suddenly decide I hate doing it and I’ll go back to writing. This is how I keep you on your toes. This blog is like a psych study. God.

This week: “VOICE” PV, Ayumi and her stupid shit, Maji Bomber!!, and BoA

OK EVERYBODY WATCH THIS TEASER FOR NARSHA’S MV:

DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE FULL VIDEO? OF COURSE YOU DO, HOMEGIRL IS LOOKIN’ LIKE A COMBINATION OF FLORENCE WELCH, LADY GAGA, AND RIHANNA, OF COURSE YOU WANT TO WATCH THAT!!! SHIT!!!!

Now, BEG is one K-Pop group I never really got into. I like “Abracadabra” and all, but never enough to let them rise to the status of, oh say, SNSD or After School or KARA in my mind. They’re like my Team B of K-Pop girl groups. Even so, I always knew I liked Narsha (well, that may also be because she’s the token Stan-Magnet of the group). But this video? This concept (THIS IS TOO HIGH CONCEPT TO BE JUST ANOTHER “CONCEPT”)? I never even. I even heard the SONG and still couldn’t even. How is this so awesome?

WHY ARE THESE MATT BELLAMY LYRICS, BUT IN KOREAN (the video is subbed, btw)?? Well mostly just the chorus, but that chorus is worth it. “LOL is this “Hysteria”?”

Who directed this shit, ChanWook Park!?!? The photography, set design, costume design, and art direction are AMAZING. But mostly the photography. I can’t get over some of the shots. In particular:

2:17-2:19 – OH MY GAWD it looks like a Dali painting.
The whole 2:39 – 2:53 montage – AAAHHHHH WHY IS IT SO GREAT.
3:16 – Sure other videos may have great dance shots, but do they have the singer being dragged away by dancers dressed like Freddy Krueger?!?! NO.
THE WHOLE “OMFG ANGEL WINGS” SEQUENCE – This had the potential to look SO cheesy, but it really doesn’t. It looks flawless. What the Hell. Amazing.
4:09 – 4:11 – Possibly my favorite shot in the whole video.

Watch it, okay. These videos will probably be taken down presently, but whatever. While you can, watch this.

You want me to be arsed to care, to look at this objectively and with a ~brave heart that still loves Morning Musume after all this time…I JUST CAN’T.

When I re-listen to this it occurs to me that maybe I’ve taken a few too many pages out of Luke’s guidebook. Except less skeevy. Maybe. I do end with AKB48 in bikinis.

Still not impressed. Except by Chisato. Chisato impresses me.

This is just a public service announcement to let everyone know that I’ve opened up my general music/thought piece blog:

Microphone-Fiend.com

Only one entry so far (I’ve been busy), but there are many, many on deck, including but not limited to reviews of the new Coheed and Cambria, Erykah Badu’s latest, of course ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus’, and a snazzy write-up of the Third Eye Blind show.
