LUV

我出来了…

我自由了…

你来了。。。

“你是？”我问

“我是牛奶，你？”

你笑着，

我看着。

”我…”

下起了雨，是雨，第一次看到雨，

不好了，

“好烫！”你抱着我

雨停了，

你我溶为一体了。

我是咖啡…

谁 能 推 翻 滨 崎 皇

朝

昨 天 某 报 大 篇 幅 报 道 有 关 悻 田 来 未 的 新 闻。 悻 田 来 未， 一 个 我 并 不 陌 生 的名 字。有说长江后浪推前浪。悻田来未的崛起, 可否有能耐推翻滨崎皇朝?

悻田来未出道还蛮早的, 最为人津津乐道的是她当初与宝儿合唱THE MEANING OF PEACE, 就收入在SONGNATION合缉里。想当年911事件后，为了响应世界和平，SONGNATION，小室拓哉与一众红星打造的合缉诞生了。当中， THE MEANING OF PEACE， 最令我惊为天人，因为悻田来未 和BOA 实在很合拍，唱活了这首DANCE+ R&B的歌。后来，悻田来未 发行了以R&B 为主的歌曲,成绩却平平无奇。原因简单，当时有宇多田光那位R&B女王。

90年代初, 至98年，可说是安室奈美惠的天下。这位来自冲绳,大红大紫的天后宣布结婚生子后, 造就了另一个天后的诞生。她就是来自同样一间公司的滨崎步。滨崎步的成功为日本乐坛写下一个又一个的创举。她是日本的神话。当然当然，不忘宇多田那能呼风唤雨的才女，暂且不说她。

正当滨崎步发光发热时，无疑后起之秀的实力也不容忽视。

举一有来自自家公司的宝儿。但在公司巧手安排下，两大天后各有自己的歌迷，谁也不犯谁。

还有AIKO，大宠爱，安城良红，但论成就，无人能夺走天后宝座。

唯有中岛美嘉，有能耐乱了艾回唱片公司的阵脚。中岛美嘉以自己独树一格的作风与包装，席卷各大颁奖礼。中岛美嘉也是我钟爱的歌手。我之前的博客也有提到她。

现在，我们看到的是，艾回这次以同样的策略，将悻田来未来个脱胎换骨，连发12单曲，包装的像极了当年的滨崎步，让我不禁担心：艾回，这所最拿手打造天后的天后宫，是不是要弃滨取悻？

销量在日本，是测量歌手人气，市场价值的一把尺。

年轻是宝。在日本，滨崎步是超龄了。真的。

悻田来未，歌声咋听下有安室的影子，形象有金发时代滨崎步的味道。她能推翻滨崎皇朝？拭目以待。

Understanding (miss)understood.

Here she is again, Ayumi Hamasaki with her latest original album (miss)understood.

This album is selling very good in Asia, and I understand that Malaysia actually re-import the album from Hong Kong 3 times already. BUT, so far this album hasn’t reach 1 million selling yet back in Japan after 4 months, who knows this will be the first non-million selling of Ayu’s album. But again, this album is really indeed very good, regardless of the selling point.

(miss)understood assembles a college of styles of music in it, hip hop, rock, R&B, a little bit of Rap, Japanese traditional music, 70’s club electro, gospel and a little dose of love ballads, of course.

Ayumi does screaming more than singing. Ya, I will agree with you when it was 8 years back she did her first album A Song For XX. In this album of 2006, I was so surprised that Ayu not only get an A+ for her lyrics but also to her vocal which is flawlessly delivered in every songs!*clap clap*

This time Ayu has a great team of music producer like GEO of SWEETBOX, HAL, Kazuhiro Hara, CMJK,Tetsuya Yukumi, Miki Watanabe,Kazuhito Kikuchi, tasuku, Shinataro Hagiwara, and Sosaku Sasaki. No CREA anymore this time I guess Ayu was busy to produce her own music at that time. And no D.A.I anymore, thank god, am tiring with their same old style of music compose and arrangement. However D.A.I did create gorgeous songs like Dearest and Voyage.

(miss)understood actually set up a new benchmark for Ayu and to the other artists as well.

Many fans complain that (miss)understood isn’t Ayunish anymore. But I strongly agree that Ayu need a change to globalize herself, to push herself towards the stage of world and not limited to Japan itself!

And please do not compare (miss)understood with her zaman gemilang’s I am… I am… no doubt is her best ever album, during her peak time in her singing career in 2001/2. That is so typical Ayu. But Haloo…Evolution takes place, metamorphosis happens. (miss)understood represents a new starting phase of Ayu.

Back to the 16 tracks. The flow of the tracks is superb! It started with Yayayaya Gagagaga Dadadada Wowowowo, Bold&Delicious is such a happening song, and the chorus is so catchy. Some outstanding songs includes HEAVEN. Notice the chorus is at the last part of the song. And it starts off so peacefully and tranquil. Next will be Pride, notice the background vocal matches Ayu’s voice perfectly and the lady here sings with emotions and touches us deep inside our heart. The theme (miss)understood, rockish, music doesn’t impress me much. What make a big impact is the lyric that Ayu wrote. Two best lyrics in this album, one is this, another will be Pride.

Fairyland is the weakest song in the album. It is a summer song but Ayu fail to deliver it with enthusiasm, guess it is limited by the music though. Prefer Inspire, Grateful Days, July 1st. But I am looking forward to see Ayu to perform this song on stage, with the adorable dance steps. Ladies Night is the series of ‘Lady song’ since “Real Me” and “ My name’s WOMEN”. Ayu represents girl power in Japan, she speaks Japanese teenagers’ mind. Realizing that she is getting more senior, she started to sing songs that pay tributes to the girl/women. Best example is Real Me that sounds like this :’ A woman never runs away, A woman never hides away, in order to survive…” This time, in Ladies Nights, Ayu shouts outs that every night are ladies nights. Check up the two 2/3-minutes music, tasking and Are You Wake Up, they are up-lifting and will wash away your blues…

Video clips wise are superp!!!!!!!!!!! Great quality, great outfit, great storyline, just great…Highlights will be alterna, Is This Love, Pride, Ladies Night.

Overall, Ayu is a full-fledged artist/singer/song-writer/fashion leader. Japan needs her, she represent the music industry of Japan.

    同声同气，今年头每个都同声同气，断背余波始终没停下。

早几年的关导出柜作‘蓝宇’，跟现在李安的‘断背山’，也同声同气。

颁奖单位似乎独钟这类电影，观众，至少我，一定会捧场。从最初的好奇心驱使，到渐渐的产生共鸣。说故事的人，很不简单，有故事的人也不是？

先说李安。

李安爱用山水说故事，断背山的美竟收眼帘。

断背山，他们的伊甸园，很神圣，纵使社会接收不了他们，至少天涯一角可以容纳他们，让两颗赤裸裸的心交会。

断背山的日子，真正考验了两个少年。帐篷里发生关系后，绵羊的惨死，埋下了伏笔，像说：跟社会理念背道而驰不得好死。

牛仔帽的颜色安排微妙。杰克影片开始是黑，邪邪不拘的，总爱偏仰着嘴角。恩尼斯牛仔帽是白的，他出奇的含蓄。直到影片末，没有所谓的黑白分明，转而灰色，同性恋标榜灰色地带，耐人寻味。

杰克和恩尼斯大吵，火花最大。

How I wish I know the way to quit you..说得无奈,

If you can’t fix it, stand it..说的也是无奈.

说说蓝宇吧.

更贴进同性恋，从蓝宇的瞳孔，把我们带进他们的圈圈。

床戏部分令人咋舌。蓝宇悍东分分和和，看戏的人会完全忘记他们的身份性别社会枷锁等等等。他们何尝也不是？相爱是两个人的事？你认为呢？

‘最爱你的人是我，你怎么舍得我难过，在我最需要你的时候，你没说一句话就走。。。’

一首熟悉的个，情歌，不是异性情侣的专利，用在蓝宇电影里，如虎添翼，断背山如是。

论艺术价值,两部片不分上下,至少在观众,我,心中打下了满分.
