One of Japan’s most eligible bachelor will get married this month. Akihito Okano of the popular duo Porno Graffitti is set to get married anytime this year. His partner is around her 20’s according to Tokyo Graph.

Raction: I really can’t believe this! This REALLY ruined my entire day! Why??!! The girl is in her 20’s? OMG! That’s almost twice as Akihito-san’s age! I’m also in my 20’s I wish we could have met before he got married!

I’m crossing my fingers that haruichi-san will not get married anytime soon. HARUICHI! Wherever you are - I hope you’re reading this: DON’T GET MARRIED YET! (You should meet me first! Hahaha)

There are 2 j-pop songs that I really like listening to these past few days… may pagka-love songs (cheesy!)

First one is an old song from Ken Hirai, released last year. I saw him preformed in Music Station Super Live last week.

Music and lyrics by hirai ken

ROMAJI

omoi ga tsunoru hodo ni chokusetsu kao mite wa ienai
kimi no suki na tokoro nante kazoekirenai hodo aru no ni

iza me no mae ni suru to nani mo ienakunatte shimau
aenai hi ni tsumikasaneta negai mo mayoi mo tameiki mo

hora ima kono kimochi kimi ni itte mitara
komatta kao suru kana? sono gyaku nara ii na

tereta egao suneta yokogao gushagusha nakigao
nagai matsuge mimi no katachi kirisugita maegami

kimi no suki na toko nara hoshi no kazu hodo aru noni
hitotsu mo kotoba ni dekinakute

koi wo sureba suru hodo kakehiki wa umaku wa naru kedo
kono mune no muzugayusa ni itsmo girigiri de wa todokanai

komatta kao mitakute ijiwaru itte miru
hontou wa subete ga kawaiteshouganai kuse ni

katahoudake dekiru ekubo asa no kasureta koe
kuchibiru no iro kami no nioi dakishimeta ondo

kimi no suki na toko nara dare yori mo shitteru noni
naze tsutaerarenaindarou

onaka ga sukuto kigen ga warukunatte damarikomu
you to sugu neru kuse ni
kaeritakunai to suneru

kimi no iya na tokoro mo sorya sukoshi wa arukeredo
au to sugu ni yurushiteshimau

hotto shita kao
waratta toki ni ha no ji ni naru mayu

igai to ninjoumono ni yowai

kimi no suki na toko nara
sekai no dare yori mo
shitteru boku ga ureshikute

hora ima kimi ga warau kara

naze darou kotoba ni dekinakute

ENGLISH

I can’t begin to count all the things I love about you
My thoughts become so strong that I can’t say them in front of you

When you’re in front of me, I become speechless
The prayers, doubts, and sighs built up from the days we were apart disappear

See, if I tried telling you about these feelings
Would you look troubled? I hope it would be the opposite

Your shy laughter Your profile as you sulk Your scrunched up crying face
Your long eyelashes The shape of your ears Your overcut bangs

There are as many things I love about you as there are stars in the sky
But I can’t express even one of them properly in words

As you fall deeper in love, you get very good at compromising
But this tingling in my chest is always just out of reach

Wanting to see your troubled face, I try saying something mean
Even though everything about you, to me, is unbearably adorable

The dimple that appears on only one side Your hoarse morning voice
The color of your lips The smell of your hair Your warmth when I hold you

I know about the things I love about you better than anyone else
I wonder why it’s so difficult to express these feelings

You become silent when you’re hungry because it worsens your mood
Even though you fall asleep whenever you’re drunk,
you always pout about going home

Of course you have a few flaws as well
But I end up forgiving them as soon as I see you

Your relieved expression
Your eyebrows that turn into the word “?” as you laugh
Even though you’re very sarcastic,
you’re surprisingly weak to stories about human kindness

I am so happy that
I know about all the things I love about you better
than anyone else in the entire world

Look, you’re about to smile

I wonder why I can’t express this in words

The second song is the 23rd single from Porno Graffitti “Anata ga Koko ni Itara” used as theme song for an upcoming movir “Naoko” “Naoko” is based on the manga of the same name by Nobuhiro Sakata and Yu Nakahara. It tells the story of a talented young runner (Haruma Miura) whose father died trying to save a girl named Naoko Shinomiya (Ueno).

The “Anata ga Koko ni Itara” single is scheduled to go on sale February 14. The movie opens in theaters the same month. It debuted at the no.1 spot in the Oricon charts

Notable tracks in this album are:

5. Natsu no Yuutsu - This one's like an old-school song. Kinda makes you reminisce about the past, very nostalgic. I like the guitar sounds in this one.

10. The 4th Avenue Cafe - This song is part of Rurouni Kenshin's OST, need I say more? It's definitely good, one of the best songs of the group. Very upbeat and funky.

11. Niji - Another song from RK, this time it's from the OST of Rurouni Kenshin the Movie. It's kinda slow-rock and emotional but you'll never get tired of listening to this song. Hyde's vocals is really top notch in this song!

12. Winter Fall - Another upbeat song of this group. I really like the sound of the guitars and drums in this song. It was played to blend well with Hyde's voice.

Tracks:

01 Melissa/ Porno Graffitti
02 Kasenai Tsumi/ Nana Kitade
03 Ready Steady Go/ L'arc~n~Ciel
04 Tobira no Mukou Gawa/ Yellow Generation
05 Undo/ Cool Joke
06 Motherland/ Crystal Kay
07 Rewrite/ Asian Kung-fu Generation
08 I Will/ Sowel

This album includes all the OP and ED songs of the ever-popular anime Full Metal Alchemist (Hagane mo Renkinjutsushi a.k.a. HAGAREN).
Of course, who would not remember Melissa (1st OP)? Ready Steady Go (I've heard that this song even top the charts for the longest time since it was released, and this strengthen Laruku's chance to sing FMA the movie's OP and ED song) and Rewrite (I have to say that this one's one of the best songs of Ajikan)? All the other songs are nice as well.Overall, the songs in this album are really good! It's worth every cent of your money. Add this up to your anime OST/ sounds collection.

Review:

1. We Love Pizzicato 5
- a prologue to the album, it's just like children singing "we love you P5~"
2. Sweet Soul Revue
- If there's one song that made the group popular, I believe this is it. This is the hit song that stormed Asia and other countries in mid-1990's. Who would not remember this? Very catchy and lively. Perfect for parties or gatherings! One caution though: do not listen to this song if you don't wanna dance. This song can make you strut your booty all day long..
3. The night is still Young
- Another catchy and "danceable" song of the group, perfect for parties and after office hours gimmicks.
4. Groovy is my name
- Cute and catchy. A perfect song to listen to when you're feeling gloomy or lazy. It makes your day colorful and lively instatntly!
5.Twiggy twiggy ~ twiggy vs james bond
- Part o the OST of James Bond movie (just not sure what particular James Bond movie it was). As usual, very catchy and can leave you mumbling "twiggy~twiggy"
6. Let's be adult
- Another cute song. The vocals is like singing in a whispery voice.
7. CDJ
- Perfect for parties, night outs or bar hopping!
8. On the sunny side of the street
- I really like the intro music of this song. It gives you a light and calming feeling like walking on a sunny day.
9. Happy sad
- Another hit by the group that came after sweet soul revue. You'll be having a LSS (take note: last song syndrome) of happy-sad (coz those words are the one you'd remember easily)
10. Catchy
- It's lke a trance song by the group but as the name suggests, it's very CATCHY.
11. Thank You
- I do not really like this song but still a good one sung by the group.
12. Magic capet Ride
- Listening to this song is like warping to the world of Aladdin and travelling with his margic carpet. Another good one done by the group.
13.We love pizzicato 5
- An off vocal of their hits starting with we love pizzicato 5 (track 1) then off vocal orchestra-like melody of Sweet Soul Revue, The Night Is Still Young & Groovy Is My Name. One of the best hits in this track
14. Tout va bien
- Another cute song. Will leave you singing "beep beep beep beep yeah!"
Almost all the songs in this album are really great! Definitely one of the best compilations by the group ;D I really like tracks #2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12 & 13. Overall the album's really worth yevery cent that you spent on purchasing it.
