If I still manage to remember what my points on my previous post mean, I think I don't really have to explain them yet. So a short and new post for the time being. Because I really need to vent it somewhere.

Well, had a strange week I will say? Listened to NEWS songs and cried like so many times. NEWS songs used to bring me joy and energy! They still do, but sometimes you can't help it. That.. That reality just keeps haunting you. Even typing this post right now is making me feel sad already.

Seriously, I used to not even remember Ryo's birthday, Tego's birthday, Massu's and Shige's birthday too. Even now, I probably still couldn't remember Tego's without thinking a little harder. However, there's this date that stayed in my mind so firmly as if it was already rooted into my brain.

7 Oct 2011.

It is Toma's birthday~ So well, thanks to NEWS I managed to remember your birthday.

Suddenly thought of Marching J charity programme and MassuShige appeared in the earlier segment. Then almost nearing to the end, Pi appeared. The thing is, they did not appear together on stage. They once represented NEWS as a whole! It's exactly like before where 3 members appear for 6 members' behalves. Now it's 2 members appearing for 4 members' behalves and having that extra Pi whose appearance seemed legit enough as a NEWS member, yet not as a NEWS member.

I just wanted NEWS to be the same old NEWS I know that's all. Soukon was great!!! But how I wished RyoPi would appear at least once. But they did not. You knew that's gonna happen.

"OK Let's go!"

During work, checking out Jweb and I suddenly linked something up again~ Pi sang "OK Let's go!" in his Candy. Then he said that during route 66 which I then know why. Wait. So that does mean that he actually knew about this Candy song during that time, which was 2011 Nov, and already knew he was going to act in this Drama Saikou no Jinsei + his song "Ai, Texas" to be used as the theme song. Wow. So he actually knew tons of things before he even went for the trip. He probably knew these before he even announced his solo. Who knows. This suddenly made me think a lot. I didn't even realise all these until now. I just wanted to said that linkage and suddenly all these thoughts came across while I just thought about the first point. Amazing.

So anyway. Pi said "OK Let's go!" during route 66. Then last last week's NEWS RING (My goodness, I nearly typed "NEWSmile" and then I realised I was wrong. Sad. But thankfully not to the state of crying yet.) Tego had "re" and he had to continue with another word and it ended up with "Let's go!". So that's the link. "Let's go!" and "OK Let's go!".

Why after departure, still let me link so much between you guys? Though I'm happy to do so. Anyway loads of things to say I just realised. Point form again and I shall continue tonight at home.

• Pi's sex tape
• Comments about the above
• Aria's and my reactions
• K8's movie
• Flying to Japan for that movie
• My crying for NEWS or Pi when I heard HANABI
• Code Blue

That's all~ :)

Pi Ai Texas

Short review post of Pi's Ai Texas, because I know I wouldn't have the mood to do it anymore. *laughs* Now I'm looping the 2 b-sides because I got a little too accustomed to AT and I thought I should give it a rest. Starting with Candy then PC then AT ne~ :)

Candy
Love it the moment it started. And I thought, B sides are better than A side suddenly. It's a very fast tempo song which I think you'll get hooked up easily. And the fangirling part.. :) The rap!!!!!!!! I don't care who planned it, but it sounded like Kei was doing it for him~ Then I kept trying to recall which rap it was similar to, and I just remembered, it was Private Heart by Kei during N.E.W.S. :) I love Kei's rap so much, that this sounded so much like his voice and style! Oh my. I'm listening to this song right now as I'm typing and my tears are like almost flowing out because I thought of KoyaShige!!!! Those rap parts! One more time of listening to type more! And not to confuse with the next song~ :) And so many english words which some I found a little misleading. I thought I heard "fussy, fuxy"? And it turned out to be "foxy". *laughs* Ok brace for the rap! Oh yes! I remember already! Why Shige and KoyaShige. Vibration, performance during N.E.W.S or Pacific. Pacific. Yes. Shige was doing it for Massu. Right? No. Shige did for Kei. Gonna listen to it right away. Kei did for Tego. Massu for Shige. But somehow it was similar to Shige's and Kei's. So I think it's Massu's and Shige's that's similar. :)
In the end I spent almost an hour watching many other clips. Actually not many. Private Hearts, Love Addiction, Ginza Rhapsody. :) Now one last time Candy. Then I'll know the truth. :)
Love Addiction + Vibration. *laughs* Really. I love how I can still link member ai somehow. I don't care when they say Pi's doing NEWS songs with subpar singing. I don't care. I love this style. :)
So I love Candy! :) And Pi's ok let's go. No wonder. He said it in Route 66.
PERFECT CRIME
Now this song. First time, really couldn't get the tempo and melody of the song. Very clubbing song at first thought. Now I find it alright. And I'm getting to like the song very much easily. In fact the beat and the tempo is addictive. :) Just the "PC" part is a little... Anti climax in my opinion. I love how the chorus started and it went very beaty? *laughs* hen you pai zi. The way you sing the lyrics are like really syllabus by syllabus. :)
Can imagine very pretty light show for this song during concert. With stylish dance moves. Sleek dance moves I hope thought. Not the Tokyo Sifonietta (how to spell?) kind. Sifonita? Sifonetta? Check spelling... Sorry. Sinfonietta. Yeah~ I only missed out a "n". *laughs*
The lyrics sounds a little ecchi? But I like how there's "bara", "kuroi hane", "tenshi". Very rockish? *laughs*
That's all. It is nice. But not as addictive as Friday night yet. I want to listen to Candy again. But Ai, texas for now~

Ai, Texas
In the end, I miss this song after looping the b-sides. Hahaha.. Pi's voice is very pure somehow here. So clean with no covers. Anyway, I was listening to the instrumental ver. and I kept thinking about the drama. Not really fancy that narration part. It was ok to me. If I have to rank this with the other singles, I'm afraid this will not do really well. As well as just the A-sides or whole disc in general. This single has Candy to save the world, but the rest also have their strong b-sides.
But this song is very catchy. I'll be like "ai tekisasu~" every where I go. *laughs*

So, after all these. I shall conclude. Very Japanese and Johnny's style of A side, and even B sides remained not so westerned. I like it. :) Really prefer such kind of songs. Candy! :) It's really good! It's starting now. Ranking the A sides:

1. Loveless
2. Daite Senorita
3. One in a million
4. Hadakanbo
5. Ai, Texas

Ranking the singles in general:

1. Loveless
2. Daite Senorita
3. One in a million
4. Ai, Texas
5. Hadakanbo (but that's because it's only one song~)

Picking a favourite B sides from each disc:

Daite Senorita - Himawari
Loveless - After the rain/Dance Jam
One in a million - My dear
Ai, Texas - Candy

Not A-sides but good songs:

1. Hokago Blues
2. Colourful
3. World is yours
4. Ao
5. Love Song
6. Saigo no Love Song
7. Kuchitsuke de adios
8. Moonlight
9. After the rain
10. Dance Jam
11. My dear
12. Gomen ne Juliet
13. Time

Not going to write, have a feeling that I'm not so awake and also unsure of my criteria already. It is late. After my "Candy" ends, I will listen to Kuchitsuke de Adios and sleep.
