いつもいっしょ

So. Since the last post I have been accepted to a number of university, though only two of them in a faculty I originally wanted to enter. In two other university I got accepted to my 2nd option--which hasn't pleased me at all. And thus, I have currently registered into FMUP. Shocking? For me it was a great shock, not that I'm not grateful about the turn of events.

And the fact that I have (finally) registered into a university brought up more and more conflicts and angst-y stuff. So, let's just leave it at that, shall we?

Have you guys heard? Aqua Timez is going to have another nation-wide tour near the end of the year through to next year. If I'm not mistaken the tour is called "because we are". Damn. And the around the start of said tour, I heard that Arashi is also holding a special concert. Damn. Why am I in Indonesia?

Anyway, tonight I've been listening nonstop to this piece of music by none other than AT. I wonder why I've been in such an AT-mood. lol.

Itsumo Issho by Aqua Timez.


I originally wanted to post the translation of the lyrics of the song, but I have yet to find an English translation that satisfies the temper of my inner translator and thus I present the link to the Indonesian translation.

Personally, I really love the lyric at the start of the song which goes something like "I am a boy who hates being looked away from, so I look away from you first" and "You are a girl who lets go of the hand you are holding because you are afraid of being let go". Rough translation, so bleh. It's kinda sweet, actually. :)

未成年

omg it's been half a year since I updated this blog :o

 Well, a lot has happened. I graduated highschool, took the national university entrance test, is waiting for the announcement, and at the same time feeling nervous as hell since as of right now I am school-less.

Enough of my rl sob story.

Something surprising has happened in my fandom-life. I fandom-hopped again. Yes, and this time to Aqua Timez. *dropped down a sinkhole* but it's not like I hadn't liked AT before... it's more like I've liked them since I listened to Velonica and Ketsui no Asa ni. And I distinctly remember watching Velonica's PV on tv (you know the times when them music channels aren't just playing kpop) and thinking that Futoshi looks a bit like Aiba. lmao. *shot*

After that I came to like them and bought their Best Of album and got Ehagaki no Haru single as a present, oh I also got to buy Carpe Diem when I went to Singapore. I liked them, I mean, more than the usual artist or bands that I listened--whose songs I liked but not to the extent of buying their albums/singles. But I really got to like them about a week ago, I think. There was a bit of psychological breakdown and mentally feeling stuffed in both fandom life and rl and then I found refuge from fl and rl in Aqua Timez's music. But it isn't like I hate the Arashi fandom. I still love the boys (tho' it feels weird calling them 'boys' lol) and the fandom too, but ... ahh, let's just say something happened and leave it at that. And it's not like I've left the fandom for good, you know me, I'm always fandom-hopping but in the end I always came back to Arashi (though at the last fandom-hop from Arashi lasted about 2 years ~.~). 

Anyway, I've been spending the last week (in between applying to unis and studying for upcoming exams) slaving on my laptop and exhausting my bandwidth downloading AT concerts, PVs, albums, and singles. I already got Still Connected and Music 4 Music... and if I might say WOWOW's version of Carpe Diem (which to my extreme dissatisfaction had 8 or so songs omitted---including Gravity0 dammit).

And so yeah,  I'm burrowing a nice little hole for myself in this fandom.

I guess that's all for now. I've got to get going anyway. Here's a parting video for this post--which has something to do with the title, does that surprise you? hahaha.
