guess who's back with a *record scratches* song that reminds one of sentimental montages at the end of movies

...with a mixture of sunsets and the tragic protagonist's innocent childhood memories and running on beaches etc. (why am I thinking of FMA?  ah. My anime obsession days...)

It's been a while since I posted something.  Mainly because I had a long list of things I wanted to write about that I put to the side.  So to re-introduce myself back into the blogosphere (more like the equivalent of the Antartica part of the those who are not read in the blogosphere) I'm posting something that I posted on my tumblr.  WORD FOR WORD (well...not exactly really)



Nowadays every new single by this band [L'arc-en-ciel] sounds like it's an end to some sentimental movie...I mean I know it might in connection to the band's possible end and this band has been around for almost 20 years but come on! I don't want all this sentimental nonsense when I watch PVs.  No walking all wistfully in a medley of bokeh and monochrome backgrounds...especially in white suits.  And, pardon me for overusing this complainant and adding insult to injury, I do not want to see these guys act/sound as if this some end of some movie.  Like the movie of a band's life or something.  I don't know.  I'm very unsatisfied with this song and music video (as you can obviously tell).

Sorry for teenage whining.  In other news, I'm thinking about integrating some other Asian pop culture such as China, Korea etc. (because I'm going to China this summer!).  Well to tell you the truth I'm wary towards Chinese and Korean pop culture (in my head all Korean music is a lot of boy bands/dancing and singing groups and China's just a rip-off of other Asian music and their biggest star raps about listening to your mom...but I do admit listening to Jay Chou but as a sort of novelty.  Like how people watch/read Twilight just so they can make fun of it. ) but maybe talking/exploring these culture can help become more open about them (I mean I know a lot about Chinese culture...just not Chinese pop culture...and hopefully I can find something that is not just cookie-cutter, ripped off some other culture's overused phenomenon and of the norm...WAIT! ZEETA BE MORE OPEN-MINDED)

but no seriously.  I want to explore the not-so-known things of these pop cultures.  Like (hopefully) their whimisical and quirky side.  Hopefully.
