Midnight Music Fever

I don't feel like sleeping yet.

I'm recently hooked on Swedish pop and I listen them again and again like an addiction Unlike Japanese pop, I feel fresh Of course, many of them are already worldwide famous musician like ABBA or Europe. I know them from a child. I love them I wanna show you the songs which I just found in Youtube.

Actually, I know The Cardigans but I haven't listen their music. Sweden has a lot of attractive musicians Oh, if you like the last one, check the faster one. You might like it

You Belong With Me

I was watching NHK's MUSIC JAPAN OVERSEAS tonight and found a catchy song of Taylor Swift. She's an American country pop singer and came out in 2006. She's attracted attention among young girls around the world. I've listening her "You Belong With Me" after watching the program. It's addictive The MV is so pretty and the guy in this video is super cute

You're on the phone
With your girlfriend
She's upset
She's going off about
Something that you said
She doesn't get your humor
Like I do

I'm in my room
It's a typical tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music
She doesn't like
She'll never know your story
Like I do

But she wears short skirts
I wear t-shirts
She's cheer captain
And i'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time

If you could see
That i'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you
See you belong with me
You belong with me.

Walking the streets
With you and your worn out jeans
I can't help thinking
This is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile
That could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in awhile
Since she brought you down
You say you're fine
I know you better than that
Hey whatchu doing
With a girl like that

She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She's cheer captain
I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time

If you could see
That i'm the one
Who understands you
Been here all along
So why can't you
See you belong with me
Standing by and
Waiting at your backdoor
All this time
How could you not know
Baby
You belong with me
You belong with me.

[Instrumental]

Oh, I remember
You driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're about to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me

Can't you see
That i'm the one
Who understands
Been here all along
So why can't you see?
You belong with me.

Have you ever thought
Just maybe
You belong with me? 

Sleepless Night

I'd browsed some music sites and found a sweet acoustic music. The tittle is Sleepless Night. Yea, in fact I couldn't sleep at that time. After going on winter holiday, my life is totally day-night reversal. Due to the irregular habits, my skin is getting rough a bit. :'( Before the New Year, I'll go back to a regular life.

Sleepless Night - Masaaki KISHIBE

This is so relaxing and good music for sleeping. It's suitable for napping in the clement afternoon. No doubt.

Masaaki KISHIBE is an acoustic guitar player from Osaka. I didn't know about him till I listen to his music but he has played in various locations. (In the U.S., too) I found some fan sites and people cover his music. I also like the other music of him. Looks like a darkly beloved player.

I guess I should get to bed now. Sweet dreams!xxx

Hum the Melody

I found a something very nice and convenient site today. Have you ever been frustrated trying to remember a song tittle? I've often experienced that I know the melody but I cannot remember the tittle. If you feel irritated of this and don't know the site, you are lucky today! You got a solution:))

midomi will be your best friend!

You just need to sing or hum the song you want to know the tittle and midomi will find it in a moment. The one thing you need to prepare is your computer's microphone. I linked the English site but Japanese is available as well. Hope you like it.

The Fratellis - Flathead

I wanted to know the song of ipod commercial. It's so cool!!

The Boom

I was looking some videos in YouTube and found some sweet songs which are very good for summer. Today, I'm gonna translate one of the songs into English. I think the group, The Boom, is famous for "Shima Uta (島唄)." Their song is released quite long ago, but still loved and sang by many people. Have fun! :)

The Boom - 風になりたい

The Boom - I want to become the wind

Make a big sail
Take you by the hand

Tossed about by heavy seas

I want to become the wind right now

Even if it's not heaven

Even if it's not paradise

Feeling happiness from seeing you

I want to become the wind

There was nothing good

I'd like to overtake the sun

Setting in this town

I derive happiness from being born
No need to be cool
I want to become the wind with you

There was nothing good

I'd like to go through the cloud
Bringing tears in this town

Even if it's not heaven

Even if it's not paradise

Feeling the warmth of your hand

I want to become the wind

Even if it's not heaven

Even if it's not paradise

Feeling happiness from seeing you

I want to become the wind

The wind, I want to become the wind

---------------------------------------

I like this song somehow. I feel the wind and the summer from this song. I don't know what will happen after the death, but I want to feel the earth like the wind. Maybe return to nature someday.

C-pop

NO MUSIC NO LIFE

I love music! I just like good music :D
I listen to pop, rock, punk, classical, world, healing...anything!



Today I'm gonna write about my first C-pop. This is a story which I was a freshman and at that time I was into the music used traditional Chinese instruments like Twelve Girls Band (女子十二楽坊). In a compulsory class, we were talking about music and I talked about the Chinese music to my partner. Then my partner told me that he have been to China and he got a CD of a Chinese artist. I have never listened to C-pop till then and I was interested in how the C-pop like. So I borrowed the CD from him and listened soon when I get home. And that was really awesome! I really like his songs though I don't understand Chinese lyrics. I listened his songs everyday for a while. Then I remembered the artist name, Wang Lee Hom (王力宏). I think his music is really catchy and also his voice is nice. My Chinese friends told me that he is very handsome and popular among young people ;) Take a look at the video below and see with your own eyes!

Wang Lee Hom - 星座 (Astrology)


My another favorite is "Julia". Check it out if you have interested in! ;D
