DVD Disc 2

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I liked Yume No Uta/Futari De!!! I like her softer songs... her more up-beat stuff is... not that great to me. Like Koi no Tsubomi was soooo bad in my opinion.

I've been trying to keep up with BoA but sometimes when I hear her songs tooo much, it gets kinda annoying so I just do what vempy does... *deletes BoA*

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

the only thing from "Best - second session" up until now that I didn't like was JUICY, Ningyo Hime and uhhhh... i think that's all

everything else was fine... and Koda Kumi is my brother's favorite favorite favorite jpop singer so... there's no way I can get away from her hahaha... I'm looking very forward to seeing her "Cherry Girl" drama that comes with the DVD in her upcoming album... I'm curious cuz you see her acting in all her PVs... I wonder what it's really like to see her really acting.

I was speaking idiomatically.

ooh interesting... Flara LOVES m-flo ^___^ (i wonder what kind of music Flara LOVES m-flo would make) lol

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm quite interested in Koda Kumi's Cherry Girl DRAMA... if the drama is anything like those miscellanous scenes in the Cherry Girl PV, it must be fun to watch too ^____^ seems like there's a lot of costume changes...

FELIPE NO

weee vempy is back!!! for now? i hope he's back forever and ever and ever....
hahahaaa

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Sowelu!!!!

She's coming out with a single in January 24, 2007 called Shiawase no Chikara which translates to "Power of Happiness"

I roughly read the thing... but Shiawase no Chikara is the image song for a movie called Shiawase no Chikara? It has Will Smith in it??? WHAT??? ok.. ums.. It includes the coupling songs I Wonder and Billy Joel's Piano Man

also if you get the first press limited edition, it comes with a DVD which includes the PV for "Shiawase no Chikara"!!!!

Translation done roughly... sourse is from yesasia.com okie?

I was kinda getting worried about Sowelu too... she was really really quiet after 24... ^___^ she's back!!! weeeee

Jam it back in, in the dark.

oooooh that would explain Will Smith lol

There's nowhere I can't reach.

oh, they do that a lot. I remember w-inds. did an image song for some soccer movie... i think it's called GOAL. Anyways the song is called TRIAL which is pretty good.

I was just surprised cuz i roughly translated the description and I thought Will Smith is acting in Japanese!!! lolz

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm pretty sure jpopsuki has it

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I recieved Koda Kumi's Black Cherry album not too long ago

I must say this album is pretty good. I haven't had the chance to check out the Cherry Girl Movie though... seems realllly interesting considering that a special booklet also came with my order.

OP! You mean "Egao YES Nude", right?
I watched the PV and I'm very very sad because... I dunno... hehe

And Sowelu = <3

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

i'm loving m-flo.... only track 4 of their new album Cosmicolor...
m-flo LOVES melody - Stuck in your love... I can't get it out of my winamp, my phone, my psp... my car too lolz
i even got my friend hooked on it too hahahaaaa

Most amazing jew boots

I've been a bit out of JPop... anything good lately? I might check out the new YUI album you guys are talking about

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I see YUI released another single... My Generation/Understand and Understand, the PV, I haven't watched it yet but it says "Movie Version".... is she in another movie?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
