Lets see. I want to do a random entry on Xanga here and introduce one of my favorite Japanese bands, いきものがかり (Ikimonogakari). Anyway, they aren't that popular in Japan....though they do have a few piece that are quite well known. Their fanbase grew in the recent years but still not a huge number. They started off as an indies band and after doing a few theme songs for anime (namely Bleach and more recently, Naruto), they became more popular in the mainstream music. I think, if I remember correctly, they caught my attention with their theme song for "Bleach", Hanabi. I began listening to their music and found one of my all time absolutely favorites (I think anyone who has gone to karaoke with me would know this one lol); "茜色の約束" (Akaneiro no Yakusoku). Loveeee that song :] Another song that I absolutely love is "花はさくら、君は美しい" (Hana wa sakura, kimi wa Utsukushi)I love their vocals' voice... Also, another thing that really attracts attention is the quality of their PVs (promotion videos, also known as MTVs). They're always really beautifully done.
Anyway, here, have a more recently one, its called YELL:
Awesome sauce yo~~ People complained that there was too much FFVIII music :P Hey I didn't mind one bit actually....caz actually FFVIII, despite how I never actually finished the game, and thought the story sucked, was the game that I spent the most time on lol I wish they played more from FFX...I loved "To Zanarkand" <3
Had dinner at "Shuraku" before concert...pretty good!
The inside of the Orpheum was really pretty....I remember having my high school graudation ceremony but I really didn't take the time to admire it...really pretty
