1 post from 2009

I'm back home, and it feels so good being in familiar environment again
to all friends and neighbors on vox,
I'm sorry for not being active/commenting this over 1 year on vox.

Since I entered work life so many things have changed.
I moved out from my parent's house, I went to work 5 days/week, study on week ends, I've challenged new experiences in life, get to know more people, stand on my own feet.
Was working abroad for 1 year.
And I got bad luck numorous of times... it was really hard sometimes.
But now back home i think i still have luck on my side,
for i can spend this cold winter with my family and friends and not somewhere abroad alone.

Met old friends from school and everyone has changed as well.
Some got married already, some went abroad/moved to other cities for work/further study etc.
we realized while talking that our tastes in life have changed or grown up also...

When i was cleaning my apartment, I saw Arashi's CDs and DVDs in a box,
and "true, i used to be an Arashi fan before"
how many times i've spend to fangirl over them in my college time *_*
watching Arashi's shows every week, listen to their songs, drool over their concerts..
it seems far away those times,
Arashi was the first boygroup that got me hooked into the Jpop, from Arashi i started to listen to other Jpop artistes
but Arashi was the Jpop group i adore the most,
because they're funny, cute, have good personalities, their group bond is to envy... 
my love for Arashi imprinted those carefree period of times.

When changes came
and i felt another impulse in my life
i realized Arashi's songs and performances no more inspired me or touched me in the way they used to be,
when i was sad and had a tough time, i listen to their new songs,
watched Arashi's performances and shows but i still felt something hollow in me,

i switched off to listen to black music only
but i felt my Asian blood is running in me and i again want to go back to my roots

my friend introduced the song "bolero" that she often listen to it
i found myself immersed into the lyric, the melancholy of the songs
and the strong yet heartbreaking voices of the performers,
they inspired and touched me with their songs and i came out from my sadness.

I found out they are Koreans who sings Japanese so wonderful touching
and they're a five members group as well
i was like "i don't want to fall into boygroup craze again" ^^;
but these five people really have strong and powerful vocals and songs that touched me
strangely i didn't find myself fangirl over them
i really like their songs and their performances (their dances are great too)
and it ended somewhere there ^^
recently i bought their Tokyo Dome concert DVD (reminds me when I was excited about Arashi's Dome concert)
and damn, i never expected them to be that good, no, really an amazingly great concert for an idol group
but to me they seem to break out of this Idol concept
wish them all good luck to overcome the recent lawsuit issue,
because i like their self composed songs and they have good personalities, it seems
and maybe they'll touched another person and inspired them with their musical materials
like it happened to me.
