Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna, in die illa tremenda

So I mentioned how I got my last YesAsia shipment. Finally. 2 1/2 weeks after it shipped. 3 weeks after I placed the order. Why so sucky, YesAsia shipment?

This one contained my Hot Issue mini album, and Two Sided Fahrenheit.

Really tired suddenly. Makes sense, I HAVE been awake since 2:30am. I'm getting ready to make one of my last (for awhile) YesAsia orders. But not tonight. Tonight I have; shower, laundry, SLEEP.

I got to about half of my comments today. I'll to get to the rest tomorrow definitely.

I woke up this morning (...actually this afternoon...) to an awesome unexpected surprise. My third shipment from YesAsia had come! This one contained The Big Bang Number 1 DVD (Japanese limited first press edition). Aka, the most expensive CD I've ever bought. Why are Japanese albums SO EXPENSIVE?! The package also contained my DVD version of Eternal Summer (the best movie EVER).

So I took pictures. LOTS of pictures. And since I hadn't taken pictures of the Big Bang The Great Concert DVD I got, I took some (read; a lot) pictures of that too. I'm SO happy with the quality of everything I've gotten. Nothing was damaged from the shipments (and they came from Hong Kong, so that's saying something). I still haven't gotten my posters yet, though...

Some of the pictures (mostly of the photos) came out kinda crappy. I didn't want to bend the books too much, so they're weirdly alligned, but whatever. Better than nothing! Also, I took these without flash, so they kinda came out yellowish.

I also figured out today (Don't know why I didn't figure it out earlier...) that I can play my Chinese drama DVDs in my DVD player (I thought they'd be a different format, but it occurred to last night that since they're being sold in the US, they're probably format 1. They are. Not like it matters a ton, they don't have english subs.

Oh, and here are the high quality scans of from the Fahrenheit Love You More and More DVD booklet. The scanner kinda screwed them up a bit, but they're still usable!

Keep in mind, these pictures are HUGE. All but one of them are over 2000 x 2000 pixels large (the last is about 2000 x 1000 pixels). These are just thumbnails.

Feel free to take these if you'd like. I would appreciate it if you credited me for the scans if you use them to make icons / banners / etc though.

"The Director of the International department from the Tourism Bureau, Liu Xi-Lin pointed out that in the two years when F4 was the spokesperson for Taiwan Tourism in Japan and Korea, they successfully attracted the attention of 35- 45 year-old mature female fans. The effect was very satisfactory. Last November Fahrenheit took over as the new spokesperson and their target would be 18-25 year-old young female fans."
( Um, what? )

In other news, I REALLY REALLY want this. but it's $24! Also, do you think it'd be strange if I bought a huge GD poster, and hung it up in my room and stared at it a lot? Yes? Fine.

Oh, and the best random quote of the day (enjoy the engrish); "Ella even had once helped her father to catch and castrated pigs when she was younger." Somehow I can totally see Ella doing this.

Fahrenheit's new album is out!

Buy it, or Download it

I've listened to the whole thing, and really like it!

My favorites are;

- 動脈 (Artery) -> This is the opening theme for Aaron's drama, MIT. It had a dance beat, and is fast paced. There's no MV yet, that I know of.
- 越來越愛 (Love You More and More) -> This is my favorite song on the album. It's quite lovely, and OMG the MV... It's a ballad, but it's kinda a tonal mix, so it's hard to explain.
- 最佳聽眾 (The Best Listener) -> This song reminds me a ton of 我愛你 by F4. And everytime I listen to it, I get that S&K commercial F4 did in my head. Which isn't a bad thing, really.
- 恆星 (Shining Star) -> This is also a good song. It's the opening for Jiro's series, Rolling Love. I really like the opening of the song, it sounds epic. They're kinda rapping in the middle of it too... which is funny.

I'm no music critic, so I can't really be more descriptive, mostly because I'd have no idea what I'm talking about. I think my major disappointment with this album is that it contains too many slower songs. I don't like slower songs as much. Also, I thought it would be more rock inspired than it was. Otherwise, I really enjoy it! I'm anxiously awaiting more MVs to be made! Watching an MV makes me like the song more. Apparently I like images to go along with the music, probably why I'm such a fan of OSTs.

I just spent a LOT of time downloading new music, and updating the stuff I already have.

Currently I have 5 S.H.E albums (the latest ones, Encore to FM S.H.E), and the two Fahrenheit albums. My obsession with Fahrenheit (Jiro and Wu Zun) and S.H.E (Ella) is growing exponentially.... And can I just say, I ADORE Dream Star. That site makes searching for Chinese music easy.

Huang Yi Da totally also released a new album at the end of November! I was totally unawares! I ADORE Huang Yi Da so much. 臭男人 was the first chinese song I really liked, and it still remains my favorite.

ALSO Fahrenheit is coming out with their new album (越來越愛) tomorrow!



I love their new looks! (Though I'm not terribly sure about Jiro's hair... It's so different it's kinda weirding me out. So much so that I had issues telling him from Aaron, because I'm so used to recognizing him by his hair...)

Normally I'd totally gush over Wu Zun, but Jiro wins this video. He's wearing a weird furry jacket thing, and then he had a wifebeater on and is playing guitar (for some reason, wifebeater + guitar = insane utter hotness to me. A wifebeater alone isn't hot, but paired with a guitar... expecially when it's on a crazy hot Taiwanese boy... yeah), and then he's singing behind a chandelier (granted, they're all singing behind chandeliers, but Jiro still wins)! Wu Zun is also pretty damn hot in it... he's working out in it, and for some unknown reason, I really really REALLY like it when (hot) guys get all sweaty doing manual labor or working out. Aaron was cute too (he was also working out... plus he had the adorable confession scene), but I honestly don't think Calvin is all that attractive. Not my type. But he does have a good voice!

And the ending is adorable, with Aaron trying to confess to a girl, and the others are there cheering for him, and like, high five each other when the girl accepts Aaron!

Also, does anyone else think Aaron kinda looks like Narimiya Hiroki in this video? No? Only me? Hmm.

Oh, and random question; Does anyone have the Comic Boyz (可米小子)'s albums, "Goodbye", or "Hey Hah!"?! I cannot find them for the life of me. I randomly found their second album though...
