X_X No, the time is not messed up. I drank some strong ass coffee
yesterday...Anyways, RAW was entertaining. Triple H being the one who
knocked HBK into the car window was a small let down, but it should have been
expected.
It's August now, and this month marks one whole year since I became a fan of
Ayumi Hamasaki. Around this time, last year, I was looking around the
Anime Boards on
GameFAQs and found a
thread about Japanese Pop stars. I copied the list of people into a
notepad and went searching on Audio Galaxy(Stupid backwards music
industry! You had to turn a very nice company into pile of shit!). I
downloaded a couple of songs from the first one on the list, Ayumi Hamasaki.
=) Then, I downloaded some Boa, Utada, and some others I can't
remember. I put all thirty-something songs on one playlist and listened to
it for about two weeks. I then started to delete songs, I didn't want to
hear at the time, off the playlist. Ayumi's songs were the last ones
surviving. I decided to go and download some more of her songs, as I got
attached to 'End of the World' and 'Boys & Girls' very quickly. Later,
I found 'Evolution' and I was then declared addicted to Ayumi-sama. Her
songs are like nothing I've heard before. When I listened to 'End of the
World' the first time, I could feel something by the way she sang it. It
was my favorite song after listening to it twice. When I saw the
translation for the song, it was cemented into my favorite song of all
time. A year later, it still is.
I have to admit, the first pic I saw of her was a little bit of a turn off
because her hair was dyed blonde. Her eyes were the thing that helped me
realize she really is pretty. I soon found out that she was the
best J-Pop star, according to sales, and I have spent over a $150 US on her
merchandise. I sadly only own 1 CD of hers, the 'Free and Easy'
single. I also have 1 life-size poster, 1 weekly calendar, 1 phone-strap,
the 'Free and Easy' magazine, and the Uraayu picture book. Ever since I
was hooked, 'End of the World' has always ended up somewhere on every music CD I
have burned(Around 20-30 CDs). Even though I have heard 'End of the World'
so many times, I have yet to memorize a single verse of the song. I have
not memorized any of the verses of any of the other songs either. Very
strange...X_X
I feel like I left something out. O well, I'll update again when I
think of it.
