08.01.2010 - emptiness in my heart

TOPIC 01: LOOK ONLY AT ME, PART2
This song by G-Dragon is my new favourite. The lyrics are so heartbreakingly beautiful, I can't help but cry when I watch this video. I don't want G-Dragon to go to jail~ (wails)



I don't know, I lost faith in him sometimes. VIPs told me AllKPop is biased, full of haters, bla-bla, but am I that easily influenced? I want him back on scene. To stand tall and proud and declare to Korea, to the whole world, he has done nothing wrong.

But...I don't know. I really want to believe in him. I really want to be like one of those fearless DCGD members and stand by him. I'm so confused. So when I found this video on YouTube and watch it...I feel...ashamed. I don't even think ashamed is the right word to describe what I feel.

I'm OK now. I will stand by G-Dragon, even if he go to jail. Because, as another GDfan told me, support is all he needs.

TOPIC 02: BoA, YOU ARE JUST NOT MEANT TO BE
This is not trying to offend BoA or her fans, I mean, I am her fan also. It's not because I know G-Dragon is her fan, but I have listened to BoA since her debut, so I have literally been her fan from the very beginning.

As you will soon see in the picture below, the BoA MOTO poster, which also happens to be my favourite BoA poster, had unattached itself from the wall. This had happened too many times for me to count, and I am fed up with waking up in the middle of the night to put it back up after hearing a loud ripping sound.



Favourite poster or not, it's just not meant to be stuck on my wall. I'm taking it down today and rolling it up into one of my poster tubes.

TOPIC 03: YUI IN DETROIT METAL CITY?
When I first saw this thread on YUI-Lover Forum, my initial reaction was WHAT?!

Turns out I shouldn't have worried. (I was imagining YUI performing on the same stage with Krauser II...scary thought) Another YUI fanatic, michelle_upm, had been very observant to notice YUI's I Loved Yesterday promo poster in a scene from DMC the Movie.

DMC is not recommended for minors (i.e. below 18), as it has explicit content and death metal is not exactly the kind of music genre you want to expose children to.

Find out more on YUI-Lover Forum.

TOPIC 04: tYUIf IS ON THE SAME LIST AS BIGBANG & XIAXUE?
I know this is only one person (NANA, thank you!) but this means a lot to me, the one and only webmistress of The YUI Fanatic (or tYUIf in short).

I have been running this website/blog for over three years, and seeing it turning up first on the list on search engines, watching people from other countries visiting tYUIf for information is a very incredible feeling.

Maybe there are many others out there linking to me, I don't know, but still I want to say a big thank you to my visitors. Without you guys, tYUIf will not stand as tall as it is today. ^^


09.01.2010 - Mass! Download!

TOPIC 01: YUI'S ALBUM RUMOURS

So this has been circulating on YUI-Lover Forum pretty much all the time since December, but I didn't post it up because. They. Are. Just. Rumours. Frequent (and observant) visitors will notice I have added it to my little section of YUI discography on the About page. I did mark it as a rumour, though.

Until a new album is confirmed by Sony Music Japan, I will not say anything further on this matter. I'll of course keep you guys posted.

TOPIC 02: HISASHI KONDO DIARY (07.01.2010) translation
Many credits go to Kagesou and mrsean!

'Who said your whole life is affected by your teenage times?'

When I try to move forward without thinking,
some people advised me that
 'balancing things in life is important' 
and 'there's no point if you damage your body from doing what you want'
I'm sure you have had people say that to you before too.

Of course,

That is correct

We all know that,
but in life,
sometimes,
you just want to do things, 
knowing you're just going to ruin yourself
trying to accomplish your dreams
 come before taking care of yourself
I'm sure you've experienced that.
If you're studying to get into a good university 
right now 
might be this time for you.

Today, I opened this article 
saying 
'Who said your whole life is affected by your teenage times?'
Of course you have to study, but friends, activities, the person you like, you want to challenge new things which might open new paths in life
and you hear yourself
 screaming to tell you to do these things
'Even when you think you're rushing 
doesn't matter, just keep going
just take everything you have and go for it
 cause if you cant do that, then its all a lie.'

I think thats the message YUI wants to tell all of us
The sound of the last single, "It's All Too Much" had the image of the movie mixed with guitar rock!!
This time, the acoustic guitar is strumming 16th notes throughout the song 
and notice the electric guitar only appears in the main riff and the chorus.
As far as having a vocal melody in the intro, it has been missing since "Merry-Go-Round" had the working title "Harajuku Song".
At any rate, I feel this new song was able to combine the image of the early days with the new one. (old YUI + new YUI)

And the great thing about YUI is, with the exception of the second half of the verse and the bridge, even though the basic chord progression stays the same, she has the ability to write melodies that don't give you that feeling.
I really respect that!
The band members for this recording recording were the well-known Odakura Yuu!! The rhythm section of Backy and Imamura Mai graciously joined us.


1) YUI recording acoustic guitar

The recording was very enjoyable, and turned out great. Thank you very much!

The B-side recording, 'Muffler' is about a relationship from long ago, perhaps having fallen in love and the feeling of a time passing by this friend, who is wearing an unfamiliar muffler...
It's winter, with New Year's and so on, I feel is a season for remembering (reminiscing about) your hometown (friends, family, etc)
After working on the song for a bit, I asked the famous northa+, whom I have known for 20 years, to help me arrange the song.
staying in the studio for a long time, talking on the phone really late at night, its a weird relationship, but I can really rely on her.
After that, she dove into the song, layering the chorus, and YUI's idea began to blossom...
also, working well with Yahagicchi, there was a wonderful atmosphere being created.

Finally, "It's All Too Much ~Acoustic Version~"
I think it has a very different feel than the original song, and seems like you're listening it from another angle. Even the opening electric guitar riff from the single was played by another acoustic guitar, with the help of Kuro-chan. We tried to make this using 100% acoustic guitar.
Please take a listen to this song, as well!

All three songs mixed by Tamanoi-kun!
We requested Director Kubo do the MV.

Pretty soon you should be hearing these songs starting to be broadcast, right?
Thank you very much.

Hisashi Kondo

oh and in Icchi☆-san's "Ai-no-aru" (There is Love) project series,
This time, "Original Mug"
While drinking something warm...
Let's get through this winter.

dewa

TOPIC 03: I GOT AN OFFER FROM DURHAM!
Just realised I haven't post this up on my blog. I am offered a place in the University of Durham! This actually happened on the 4th, so it's been like almost a week hahaha. Sorry guys, it just totally slipped my mind.

Well, the thing is I was talking to Amy Toh over the phone just now, because she was rejected by the University of Cambridge. From there we ended up talking about really weird stuff ranging from FaceBook to marrying the WuChun who I hate will all my life. OK, that was random.

Durham is offering me AAC, C for Geography which make me thank all my lucky, lucky stars. I'm still waiting, and hoping for offers from University of Leicester though. I really want to go there!

Lemme sing my little anthem again...
Offers, offers, where art thou offers?


11.01.2010 - damn sleet, I want snow!

TOPIC 01: HISASHI KONDO DIARY (10.01.2010) translation

Credits to Fujii Ituski for the translation!

A pleasantly cool sensation!!

Today, the sample for ⌈GLORIA⌋ arrived!!

Limited edition and regular edition!!



Icchi☆ Thank you!!
It's almost time eh!!



Which reminds me!!

My Dokutsubo blog post on 7th January,
the GLORIA/YUI report one,

Seems like people who are reading through their cellphones
have been saying that there are too many pages.

I'm sorry?

I don't really know what's the cause of it.

Even though everyone took the trouble to visit Dokutsubo.

I feel like printing out the pages and personally mail them to everyone...

Also, for the many message mails and New Year Greetings,
thank you very much!

And there were a lot of questions being asked as well.

I'll just answer one of them quickly!!

☆ Regarding the album release time frame

Since I have not talked about it in detail with YUI,
nor Boss, nor Icchi☆

So I can’t answer that too specifically.

Currently, we're still undergoing pre-production,
The song creation process.

(but honestly, it's like that throughout the year)

We're still in the state of catching up with everything
Up till the recording process.

But no matter how rushing it is,
I believe there is enough time till the goods have to be delivered.

Beyond this point, it will take at least 3 months
but within this 1 year...

so
...can everyone accept this kind of answer?

"1 week after GLORIA’s release,
an official notice about the album!!"
I can tell you for sure that there would NOT be something like that...

I'm sorry.

Also, questions about tour and such
Somehow...
Even if you ask me...

So, the real information,
I'm sure will be announced officially.
Please wait for it patiently alright.

HISASHI KONDO

Was that too serious?
Or a question that makes you laugh?

Questions on stuff that are difficult to talk about,
There are quite a lot of them here for the past few days

"How can I debut as an artist?"
Surprisingly, there are quite a lot of questions like this too.

About this,
First thing you can try is by sending Icchi☆san a demo tape I suppose.

so
...can everyone accept this kind of answer?

I'm sorry.

Dewa.

13.01.2010 - Snow! Albeit only a little but still snow!

TOPIC 01: LISTEN TO ME
• I am so awesomely single, it is depressing.
• I am so against the idea of being in a relationship with any guy other than Jiyong oppa, it is depressing.
• I am so damn depressing, it is depressing.
• I don't need depression when I have my Jiyong oppa, but I still feel depressed.
• Relationship can't be a good thing unless it is with Jiyong oppa, and that seems kinda depressing too.

...

...

...

I really need those damn remedies, if they ever exist.

TOPIC 02: ...AND I STILL HAVEN'T FINISH SAYING CONGRATULATIONS!
I am dumbfounded. (This topic is related to the first topic.)

I just, yes, just found out Leon Chua and Jolyn Sim, both my partners-in-crime during primary 5, USED TO BE TOGETHER.

A bit of explanation is needed here. I wasn't exactly quiet and innocent and all that during my primary school years, and primary five was my best year in primary school despite being labelled the most lazy person in class for refusing to do any work during class.

My so-called partners-in-crime had some bad, but unique traits of their own too. Leon used to be a crybaby. Jolyn (who literally shared the same name as me, but many years ago we were sworn enemies) did everything wrong. She got onto the wrong side of me, which is why we used to be sworn enemies.

Anyway. It was a short period of time but they were together. I'm not saying it's unfair or whatnot, I'm not asking Leon to be my boyfriend, thank you very much (I still can't get crybaby Leon out of my head), I'm not saying they can't be together.

Sorry for abruptly cutting you off back there. It's password-protected to prevent any possible heart attack.

And yes. Sadly I am currently consumed with one of the seven sins now.


14.01.2010 - he heard me! *squeal*

I'm going to brag for a bit now, so GDfan/GDaddict can skip the next paragraph, if you please.

Hubbie heard me! He heard me he heard me he heard me~! I'm happy happy happy again. So very very very happy! I feel like singing GARA GARA GO! all day, lalalalala! BIGBANG rocks the night, oh eh oh~ (GD's voice is so damn sexy), listening to my mp3 rip of Music Station and SBS Gayo Daejun! OK, crazy mood over, people!

G-Dragon updated his Me2DAY at last, after a torturing thirty-nine days! He posted up a picture of a mountain, and teased us about BIGSHOW 2010. It! Is! A! Cause! For! Celebration! Ah, I'm getting dizzy from all the excitement. Ann, forgive me! It's G-Dragon's mini concert in room 5 of Jerred House tonight, like it or not!

Speaking of which, my Shine A Light badges came today! I pinned the I GD one onto my pencil case, announcing to anyone who will care Jiyong is mine mine mine, because he's just so damn fine~ Listening to Butterfly, I just want to melt whenever I hear this song!

Woo~ Whee!


15.01.2010 - Shout to the world in your wonderful voice SHINE A LIGHT!
The rest of my Shine A Light mercs arrived today! The T-shirt, 5 pieces photos and pamphlet! I love all of them!

The photos are going onto the wall once I figured out how to minimise damage to them by blue tack, the T-shirt is going onto my hangers (with the white NII Qualified Heart Campaign shirt) and the pamphlet is going to be so love loved LOVE! Lovely photos of Jiyong inside ^^

There was another entry on Jiyong's Me2DAY, but it was posted by playful SeungRi. I love his Strong Baby days, because Jiyong looked so cool when he perform with his makanae.


[SeungRi] We are BIGBANG~ BANG~ BANG~ BANG~!

my hystrics-filled 'hiatus period' PART 1

 × × × 

06.01.2010 - today is damn bitter-sweet

TOPIC 01: SNOW!!!
I woke up and went about my business without realising it has SNOWED until I went down for breakfast. I was wearing slippers. How how how suitable for walking in the snow. It was a miracle I didn't fall over at all.

Actually I want to say I am possibly the most stable person when it comes to walking in snow. Haha. More about this in a bit.

So when I got back from breakfast, it was still snowing. Bless the whatever factors that make this weather condition possible. I forgot what the factors are.

Of course, Pingu is the happiest at the snowing!


Pingu: You! Yes, you. Howcome you didn't tell me it's snowing outside one hah? I want you to take a picture of me at the window! Now!

So rude one ah this stuffed penguin? I had half a mind to open a window and throw it out. Not surprisingly, she demanded I told no one the above picture was taken at the window. She didn't even want to be let out into her native weather conditions. Such a hypocrite.

Some shots of how winterly my school suddenly looked:



After school Ann and I went to town. Our first stop was the Salisbury Cathedral. It was my idea OK. I thought the cathedral might look magical covered in snow or something, but was a bit disappointed. On the way to town:



Pictures of the cathedral on a snow day's glory:



TOPIC 02: G-DRAGON IS NOT GOING TO JAIL
Help me. AllKPop had confirmed my worst worst WORST fear. My hubbie is possibly going to JAIL for doing something tons of singers had done before.

I suddenly hold a grudge against J.Y. Park. Forget he was Rain's producer and Rain has a lot of respect for him bla-bla-bla. J.Y. Park did NOT go to jail for what he did, which was similar to what my hubbie did. SO TO HELL ALL HATERS, G-DRAGON IS NOT GOING TO JAIL.

TOPIC 03: YUI'S ⌈Muffler⌋ IS A GREAT 'CONCENTRATION MUSIC'
YUI is a goddess. Her new single ⌈GLORIA⌋, due out this coming 20th, is packed full of everything inspirational. If GLORIA is motivating, Muffler is concentrating.



Unlike what most YUILovers suspect at first, Muffler does not sound sad but instead sound calming. Great as background music for studying and driving (as another YUILover stated).

If you haven't listen to Muffler yet, fret not. The song playing when you arrived on this page is - yes - none other than Muffler. I love this song to bits. You might also want to check out this post for the lyrics and the download links.

TOPIC 04: GET A CHANCE TO WIN ⌈GLORIA⌋ MUGS...
...when you buy the first-press limited edition of ⌈GLORIA⌋.

These ⌈GLORIA⌋ mugs are adorable and unveiled on the YUI Staff Diary today. Even though I am famous for openly hating the oh-so-girly-I-am-blinded PINK colour (plus it clashes with my new layout), it looks great on the ⌈GLORIA⌋ mug!



I want the blue one! ^^ More details about the ⌈GLORIA⌋ mugs and how to win them on YUI-Lover.

TOPIC 05: G-DRAGON SHINE A LIGHT CONCERT MERCS
I totally recommend buying from either Korean eBay seller smile-spoon or DVDheaven. Here are the links to smile-spoon's eBay shop and DVDheaven so what are you G-Dragon fangirls waiting for?



When mine arrived (yes I've already preorder them) I will wear the I ♥ GD badge all the time to show my support for hubbie. And on a last note...

...G-DRAGON IS NOT GOING TO JAIL (TOPIC 06)
He is totally NOT going to jail. If he really is going to jail then I am going to set up an anti-JYP club. Even though I love Wonder Girls. I am serious.



07.01.2010 - still not a good day

TOPIC 01: NOT SNOWING
It didn't snow today, and the snow from yesterday had turned into rock. Hard. Ice. Overnight. It's wet and slushy everywhere. I want it to snow more. Was taking more pictures of the snow-topped buildings when I noticed something at the first floor window of the science block.



A Bunsen burner was on and burning with NO ONE IN SIGHT. The lab in question is Mr Brown's. What the gdlmdsfrbitrmj is dearest Mr Brown thinking?! He's not going soft in the head, right?



TOPIC 02: G-DRAGON IS NOT GOING TO JAIL

TOPIC 03: G-DRAGON IS NOT GOING TO JAIL

TOPIC 04: G-DRAGON IS NOT GOING TO JAIL

(she is totally convinced if she post this sentence up 20 times in 5 days he will not go to jail)

TOPIC 05: G-DRAGON DID NOT DRY-HUMP AIMEE LUCAS
My hubbie is not an irresponsible person. He will never cheat on me. Therefore, he DID NOT dry-hump Aimee Lucas. Although that's what haters and netizens like to think. He was just holding her OK!



AND totally no way he was kissing her, either. SHOCKIMPULSE of AllKPop, get your facts right! AND G-DRAGON IS NOT GOING TO JAIL.

TOPIC 06: G-DRAGON IS NOT NOT NOT GOING TO JAIL

TOPIC 07: G-DRAGON IS NOT NOT NOT GOING TO JAIL

TOPIC 08: G-DRAGON IS NOT NOT NOT GOING TO JAIL

TOPIC 09: 2NE1 IS LEADING THE VOTE...
...on AllKPop for Best Rookie Girl Group of 2009.



Congrants in advance 2NE1!

...this Shine a Light merchandise.


Source: YGeShop

Can anyone with YGeShop membership get it for me? I will be eternally grateful to you. Just to make a point, I don't throw around the words 'eternally grateful' casually!

I found it sold on DVDHeaven! Yay!

I especially love the I ♥ GD and the cross-eyed skull badges.

Oh, while I am at it, does anyone have this poster of G-Dragon? Because I really want!


Please, somebody!

bloody letters a disturbing trend

 × × × Saturday, 19 December 2009

29.11.2009 - 2PM's Taecyeon
09.12.2009 - MBLAQ's Lee Joon
14.12.2009 - FTIsland's Hongki
19.12.2009 - BIGBANG's G-dragon & SoL
Love your Korean idol so much that you are willing to die (from blood loss) for them? Write them a letter, penned in blood or in some ways have the bloody element, might be just the answer.

This is a rapidly increasing but disturbing trend in Korea right now, and from the latest reported incident (19.12.2009) it seemed it has spread to Tokyo, Japan as well. Two Japanese teenage girls had written BIGBANG members SoL and G-dragon letters, then cut themselves on their neck and sprinkled blood onto the letters. The photos are even posted up on Twitter.

Despite this latest incident being quite mild, the writers of the first three bloody letters were quite extreme. The first bloody letter, written by a Korean girl to 2PM member Taecyeon, used period blood as the ink.

I dedicate to Taecyeon my period blood letter
Ok Taecyeon, You cannot live without me
Sprinkled with a few strands of my pubes

Gross, how disgusting and not to mention unhygienic is that? But that was just the beginning. Just ten days after poor Taecyeon received his first (and hopefully last) bloody fan letter, another letter written in similar ink was sent to MBLAQ's Lee Joon. The only difference: This fan slit her wrists with a knife and then used that blood in her bloody little composition:

Lee Chang Sun (real name of Lee Joon)
Don't forget me, you are everything to me.
I love you. Remember that.

This fan girl also lash out at her predecessor online, although she really don't have the rights to do anything of this sorts at all:

What's up with Ok Taecyeon period letter?
If you're gonna do one, at least do it right.
How dirty. Period blood? Act your age!
Don't do that, but do it right. Do it right.

If you think these two girls are insane, think again. Five days later, FTIsland's front man Lee Hongki also received a bloody letter. Apparently, this particular fan girl had accidentally cut her finger but instead of treating the wound with a band aid, decided to follow the insane bloody letter trend instead. The letter stated:

Lee Hongki, you know that I love you right?

More disturbing still is the latest Twitter post by the two Japanese fan girls:

G-dragon and Taeyang (SoL),
we are your soulmates and will be with you
as soon as you get our blood letters.
Until then my love, I'll dream of you.

I know I am delusional (I am married to G-dragon!), but these girls are clearly more far removed from reality than me. No way I'm going to join in this primadonna trend, no matter how much I love my hubbie. It's just wrong. This is what I posted to them on Twitter:

I don't know what to think of your bloody letters,
but I'm sure hubbie won't want a dead fan girl on his hands.

Hopefully, me and thousand others who replied to them will get this message across:

Do not taint the good name of us VIPs.

A fangirl-ing weekend

 × × × Sunday, 6 December 2009

G-Dragon's Shine A Light concert is probably the best thing that has happened to me after YUI's It's all too much/Never say die buzzing. Why?

Because of this! No nose bleed, please!


The lucky girl beneath him is Aimee Lucas. I am so damn jealous of her! Arghh!

Jealousy aside, you can get a really pheweet view of his infamous too fast to live too young to die tattoo from this point of view. KwonLedah sure knows how to liven up his concert!

While the concert was taking place, us not-in-Korea-and-therefore-can't-attend-his-concert fan girls were helping him ride the Twitter Trend wave. I also made a few new online friends to boot!

so it was 1PM and we started trending. I was already bloody tired after 20 minutes. then i think 20-30 minutes later, #GDRAGON WAS A TRENDING TOPIC! VIPS FTW. & OMFG IT ENTERED AT 5TH!!!!


there was only one thing i noticed about this. we won New Moon within half an hour. YAYE OMG YAYE!!!! XD oh. and as i predicted. my 100th tweet was to G. haha.

then we got it up to 4th!!! :D


i was really hyped. because OMGWTFBBQ WE WON CHRISTMAS & FOLLOW FRIDAY!!! and what’s SouljaBoySODMG? o__o

worked freaking hard to get G to Top 3!


won Kobe. still. what the hell is SouljaBoySODMG? a dance group? :O

OKAY THIS WAS THE PART WHERE MY BRAIN WAS BURNT OUT OF WHAT TO TWEET.


managed to get it to second though! WOOT!!!! SouljaBoySODMG lost to G. i googled it and i still have no idea what that is. so close to first! okay but then i was telling my sister that if it doesn’t hit first before i had to leave, i’m bringing the laptop. it didn’t. so i brought the laptop. i caught up just now on Twitter. G fell abit off 2nd. ouch… but VIP POWER! we brought it up to 2nd again! ♥

of course. #gdragon was trending at 1st eventually.no screencap of it though. shall go get from someone later when they post. (: will credit. will credit.

VIPS RULE.

we should have a fan club for ourselves.
wait. not only VIPS, also Blackjacks.
thanks so much to YGL & Allkpop too! was so happy when they RT-ed!!!
& BBVIP too!
& TKPA for organising this!

thanks alot, yunny. for reminding me of baby when i was tweeting about GD. LOL. okay sorry. i will tweet loads for baby too on his birthday. i think my 200th tweet will be given to him. xD she demands that i tweet for her grandma too. so it’ll end up like this: #happybdayseungri ♥ #happybdayunnysgma! hehe.

bet he did well. desperate to know what the surprise was. totally waiting for cuts from his concert now. he knows well how dedicated VIPS are.


[ i'm loving the shoes. ]

A snapshot of my effort!

So it was pretty much exciting & fun! When aa-chan got back from attending Shine A Light, he gave us fan girls some pretty awesome updates!

GD Shine A Light Concert 5th
GD Shine A Light Concert 6th

I heart fancams uploaded to YouTube also~ I hope the promised DVD will come out soon!

Meanwhile, I'm wearing my G hood all week for Ji-Yong oppa!


Saranghae, G-Dragon!

...Dr. Dre's Beats headphones.

So your reaction might be: What the hell. It's just a pair of headphones. Surely you can afford it? You can't be THAT poor.

No, dearest reader. These so called Dr. Dre's headphones doesn't come cheap. Just the starting price can make you go what the hell.

The Apple Store is currently selling the white version of these headphones at approximately £200. Discounted. The official website is selling the black version at approximately £220.

It's so beautiful I could die for it.


Yes I first saw it on G-Dragon, my hubbie. (Let this girl delusion herself, please.) I however fell in love with CL's. Yellow has more personality. Me love! Featured in the Space version of Fire:


I want to target people who is owning me a huge sum of money (hint hint). Buy me these and I'll be thankful to you forever!

Ahhh moolah tree~

G-Dragon [Heartbreaker] translated lyrics

 × × × Wednesday, 11 November 2009

A-yo, finally! (Is this GD you're talkin' about?)
Can I join in? (Because I heart him, heart him)
He's my heartbreaker~ (DJ and YG!)
(Eh, eh, eh, eh) Thanks for your hard work


Well! how do you like my version of the Heartbreaker opening? I love love love the woo~ sound hubbie made after the You're my heartbreaker~ line! It's sexy! Sexy vocals must go along with sexy pictures, so here's one!


Ah, I die~ Those intense eyes, I love! The lips! The cool studded leather glove! The beanie! Well, everything! I know this is a pre-Heartbreaker picture but I don't care! Hubbie looks fine, pre-Heartbreaker or not!

Well, I think I love G-Dragon no matter what he wears better start on the translated lyrics instead of drooling over hubbie, which is not the purpose of this post. I've included the instrumental version of Heartbreaker too, so you can sing along! Woo~

Heartbreaker
G-Dragon
Heartbreaker #2


A-yo, finally! (Is this what you've been waiting for?)
Brand new GD, yea! (I'm all by myself, but it's all good)
You're my heartbreaker~ (DJ and YG!)
(Eh, eh, eh, eh) Let me take this song here

I don't give in no matter what
I'm still useful, I haven't died yet
Only you caused this damaged body, broken dreams, missing heart
If it's for you, this one body will fly for;
It will run to where you are
But still you say to me, 'goodbye, goodbye'

You say you don't like me, what's the reason why?
Your annoyed expression that gives everything away makes me sad
But even if I still like you and asked you for a chance
I don't like the cold look in your eyes when you turn away...

(No, no)

* Yo ma heart heart heart heart heart breaker
What did I do wrong?
Yo ma heart heart heart heart heart breaker
No way, no way
Even if you say you'll leave me (hey), I won't be able to acknowledge it (hey)
Let's see how well you live (without me) (hey) (Lovers and haters)
This is-this is-tiresome; unsteady
You think lowly of my love? No way~

Everyday the same question
You say that I have changed
Will you shut your hateful mouth?
Speak after you know who you're talking to
I'm now out of control, continually all alone
In that place is where it's 'goodbye, goodbye'

You say you don't like me, what's the reason why?
The anger in your voice that gives everything away makes me sad
But even if I still like you and asked you for a chance
I hate the cold smile you have when you turn away...

(No, no)

* Yo ma heart heart heart heart heart breaker
What did I do wrong?
Yo ma heart heart heart heart heart breaker
No way, no way
Even if you say you'll leave me (hey), I won't be able to acknowledge it (hey)
Let's see how well you live (without me) (hey) (Lovers and haters)
This is-this is-tiresome; unsteady
You think lowly of my love?

(Talk to me girl) I'll still still be there (inside your turned-off cellphone)
I'll still still be there (by the mailbox in front of your house)
I'll still be like that (even if you say we're strangers)
I will still be there (Whoa, whoa~)

The words, "let's be together forever," were only a moment's sweetness
Why do you act as if nothing's wrong
Hey, when I'm hurting this much

Yo ma heart heart heart heart heart breaker
What did I do wrong?
Yo ma heart heart heart heart heart breaker
No way, no way

Yo ma heart heart~ (hey) breaker
Yo ma heart heart~ (hey) breaker breaker
H.E.A.R.T. breaker (baby) no way

I'm out.

G-Dragon is 4EVA

 × × × Tuesday, 20 October 2009

No matter how hard I work
At the end of the day
I always
Have GD to cheer me up!


That's right homies, G-Dragon. I am so damn addicted to his first solo album, Heartbreaker. Thanks to Nabilah, my addiction intensified - she bought me the album! All the crazy but cool casing, CD, lyrics booklet, the lot! And don't forget this damn cool poster

G-Dragon 'Heartbreaker' poster

greeting you when you enter my room! Make quite a statement don't it? It gave my housemistress a bit of a shock, haha! GD power! XD

Here is me smiling like a Cheshire cat during the "award ceremony"...LOL.

Heartbreaker
G-Dragon
a fan work by xinping2016
Note: This is not a translation.



Ayo, finally
Is this what you've been waiting for?
Brand new GD
I'm all by myself, but it's all good
You're my heartbreaker
DJ, YG
Let me take this song here

You're doing it to me again
Sayin' goodbye but comin' back again
One of these days my heart won't take it
If it burst it's all your fault
You're like a barely blunt needle
Pricklin' holes into my heart
But tonight I'm gonna say farewell, yeah farewell

I see it in your eyes
The cold look blows my mind
Yet I still pretend it's merely a trick of my eyes
At night I lay in bed
Confusion in my head
This can't go on but I no longer know how to stop

No no
You're my heart heart heart heart heartbreaker
You broke my heart to mend it back again
You're my heart heart heart heart heartbreaker
No way, no way
I know it's lies I'm believin'(ay)
I know truth will catch up (ay)
But let me pretend one more day (ay)
Lovers and haters
Spinnin' spinnin' spinnin' it
Pretend pretend pretend pretending
You're still the love of my life
No way

Yours lips move seductively
Your hands entangled mine
You sent a fire ranging thru me
I don't want you to ever stop this
You sent me out of control
It's making me loss my mind
But still I'm gonna say this farewell, yeah farewell

I see it in your eyes
The cold look blows my mind
Yet I still pretend it's merely a trick of my eyes
At night I lay in bed
Confusion in my head
This can't go on but I no longer know how to stop

No no
You're my heart heart heart heart heartbreaker
You broke my heart to mend it back again
You're my heart heart heart heart heartbreaker
No way, no way
I know it's lies I'm believin'(ay)
I know truth will catch up (ay)
But let me pretend one more day (ay)
Lovers and haters
Spinnin' spinnin' spinnin' it
Pretend pretend pretend pretending
You're still the love of my life

I'll still still be there
(You know where you'll find me)
I'll still still be there
(What you did make no difference)

I will still pretend
(This is what I'm good at)

I will still be there
Wooo~

The crystals you wore caught the light
At that moment, you look so vulnerable
You make me want to pretend again
Don't you go break my heart yeah yeah

You're my heart heart heart heart heartbreaker
You broke my heart to mend it back again
You're my heart heart heart heart heartbreaker
No way, no way

You're my heart heart heartbreaker
You're my heart heart heartbreaker breaker
H.E.A.R.T. breaker
No way

I'm out

huge workload = rock & electronic addict

 × × × Monday, 28 September 2009

Yes, I am currently addicted to rock and electronic songs. G-Dragon's Heartbreaker, Linkin Park's Papercut, BoA's Energetic, to name a few. My stress relieve song is Lady Gaga's Beautiful Dirty Rich. And yes, I'm still addicted to dirty songs.

Taking up both AS and A2 Geography at the same time is really tiring, but I am coping (I think). Last night I went crazy with posters again and got myself this mega package of Rain pin-ups. Oh well, at least my walls won't be bare any more.

I am looking for the mp3 of the first opening song of the anime Detroit Metal City, Satsugai [Murder]. I'm not a metal fan but DMC can really mess with people's mind, so yeah.

I'm still onto BoA and this song from her 2009 repackage of her US debut album BoA is really cool.

Control
BoA
BoA Deluxe



You try to run me, but it's not happening
Is this on purpose? Are you an accident?
You try to tell me, tell me, you try to push me round
You're just like gravity, you keep me on the ground

You can't tell me what to do
Last time I checked, I don't belong to you
If you try, just know you will always lose
We just met, I'm already over you

You don't know me, I'm not who you think I am
You don't own me, your wish is not my command
Oh oh oh oh
You think you're in control
You think you're in control
Control, control, control
You think you're in control

You want my cherry kisses, I'm like a purple rain
Caus' I'm your fantasy, the one that you can't contain
Watch how you talk to me, when you speak my name
Who do you think you are, not falling for your game

You can't tell me what to do
Last time I checked, I don't belong to you
If you try, just know you will always lose
We just met, I'm already over you

You don't know me, I'm not who you think I am
You don't own me, your wish is not my command
Oh oh oh oh
You think you're in control
You think you're in control
Control, control, control
You think you're in control

I have no clue who crowned you
King of this world, you don't rule me

Think you're in control
Control, control, control
Think you're in control
Control, control, control, control

You don't know me, I'm not who you think I am
You don't own me, your wish is not my command
Oh oh oh oh
You think you're in control
You think you're in control

G-Dragon is MINE

 × × × Sunday, 30 August 2009

So I've decide this after going crazy over my favourite leader at ungodly hours, read thousands of fanatic girls' I love yous and I want to be different from them, and I can't stand any bashing to my Kwon Leader no!

So I wrote this slightly hysterical, er, piece of writing. You can easily guess the password for this post, right? =D

G-Dragon is LOVE

 × × × Tuesday, 25 August 2009



G-Dragon, leader of Big Bang. After YouTube-ing like crazy, I finally was hooked onto him. It's his cuteness and the way he smile. And I don't give a damn what he is doing to his hair. I am now officially G-Dragon's fan.

One of the very few videos I uploaded to YouTube was removed due to copyright infringement, a claim made by Sony Music Records Inc., YUI's label. My initial reaction was shock, but I accepted it after a while. It's going to be the first and last time I receive that notice, since I'm a bit scared, hahaha. Oh well, it was good while it lasts.
