Music Selection Saturdays #2!

Hello people!

Today i unconsciously picked 4 japanese songs, sorry for the lack of variety. Well, to be fair, one of the groups does sing korean songs. hahah.

Despite internet constraints, i decided not to forgo this week's Music Selection Saturdays, so, enjoy~

1. SNSD's Gee (japanese version)



In the beginning i never liked SNSD cause i thought they were just another korean girl group whose popularity was going to die out faster than you can say candle flame. But i cannot remember what changed my mind. hahah. I'm quite fond of their music now, even amidst claims of it being autotuned. It doesn't seem to matter as mong as the songs are catchy. I mean, you could say that Glee songs are autotuned to a certain extent too, but they don't have that many anti-fans do they?

Yeah, so this is the japanese version of one of the korean chart-topping Gee. I like it cause i actually can understand what they're saying without having to read off the lyric translations, also cause it's undeniably cute.

2. AKB48's ポニーテールとシュシュ (Ponytail to Shushu)



A friend introduced me to AKB48 through this song some days ago and now i have 103 of their songs on my ipod touch. This, despite not knowing the divisions or the member names. Well, i can't exactly tell any of them apart yet, so i'll give it awhile. This song isn't bad though, i like the chorus, though not much can be said about the title, it threw me off a little.

3. Kalafina's Sprinter



Kalafina does more than just justice to Yuki Kaijura's compositions, they fit perfectly into the genre. Sprinter is from their album Seventh Heaven, and was the one of the songs i liked from that album, another song would be Natsu no Ringo. Most of their songs have a haunting quality to them and i find it very calming to listen to.

4. Ai Otsuka's  金魚花火 Kingyo Hanabi



This is such a pretty song, one of Ai Otsuka's better ones i think. It was her 5th single, released in 2004. I found it in a compilation album a long time ago, along with Sakuranbo, somehow, even after listening to her other albums, i still like these two songs the most.

And that's it for MSS #2, hope you liked it!

p.s.

Sorry i haven't been updating with outfit posts and stuff, I'll be incredibly busy from now till early November cause it's the end of my first year and i have an entire pile of assignments due in less than a month. Nonetheless, i'll try to update relatively often, so stay tuned~

Oh, and if the cbox doesn't seem to work, cause i enabled the captcha function to prevent bots from posting and it might have screwed up the coding. I'll probably take the cbox off and see if i can fix it, but if you have anything to say, just hit up the comment button below the post titles. It's interesting to read feedback, so feel free to throw me as many comments as you want. ahahah.
