YUI -「again」~Live Recording Version~ Music Video

New single release from Yui for the first time after her return from hiatus. Features intro theme to the anime series “Fullmetal Alchemist.” Limited edition includes bonus DVD featuring music video for “again.”

Well, I thnk it's kinda lagging but I can't find this video in Youtube since most of it says it's been deleted due to Copyright properties. And I feel like as if I've fallen in love with her AGAIN when I hear her singing~!!!

Enjoy~ =D

Here's the lyrics of both Kanji and translated version of the song~! =D

夢の続き　追いかけていたはずなのに
曲がりくねった　細い道 人に躓く
I thought i was running after something carried over from my dreams,
Yet i'm stumbling into people on this narrow, winding road.

あの頃にみたいにって　戻りたいわけじゃないの　なくしてきた空を
探してる
分かってくれます様に　犠牲になった様な　悲しい顔は
やめてよ
It's not like i want to go back to the way things were back then,
I'm just searching for the sky i've lost.
I hope you understand.
Stop making that sad face as though you were a victim.

罪の最後は涙じゃないよ　ずっと苦しく背負ってくんだ
出口見えない感情迷路に
誰を待ってるの
白いノートに綴った様に　もっと素直に吐き出したいよ
何から逃れたいんだ
現実ってやつか
Sins don't end with tears,
You have to carry the pain forever.
who am i waiting for, in this maze of emotions
with no way out in sight?
I want to purge myself more simply,
As if writing in a blank notebook
What is it I want to escape from?
... is it reality?

叶える為に生きてるんだって
忘れちゃいそうな 夜の真ん中
無難になんてやってられないから
帰る場所もないの
この想いを消してしまうには
まだ人生長いでしょ　懐かしくなる
こんな痛みも歓迎じゃん
"What am i living for?"
In the middle of the night, I could almost forget.
I can't put up with playing it safe.
... I've got nowhere to go home to.
There's still so much in life to remove this feeling.
(I'm on the way)
I even welcome this pain
for the things i miss

謝らなくちゃいけないよね　ああ ごめんね
うまく言えなくて　心配かけたままだったね
I have to apologize for this. Ah, I'm sorry.
I can't say it well. I'm just causing worry.

あの日抱えた全部　明日抱える全部
順番つけたりはしないから
分かってくれます様に　そっと目を閉じたんだ
見たくないものまで見えんだもん
Everything that I embraced that day. Everything that I will embrace tomorrow
I will not arrange them in any order.
I hope you understand. I closed my eyes
but I could still see things I do not want to see.

いらない噂にちょっと　初めて聞く発言どっち
向かい合ったら友達だって
嘘はやめてね
深いハートが苛立つ様に　体ん中燃えているんだ
本当は期待してんの
現実ってやつか
Unnecessary rumors that I hear for the first time, so what?
"Face it and you will be friends"
Don't tell lies like these.
My heart being agitated from deep inside,
a burning sensation runs through my body.
Actually I'm expecting something
from this thing called "reality".

叶える為に生きてるんだって
叫びたくなるよ 聞こえていますか
無難になんてやってられないから
帰る場所もないの
優しさにはいつも感謝してる
だから強くなりたい　進む為に
敵も味方も歓迎じゃん
It makes me want to scream that we're alive
For things to come true. Can you hear me?
I can't put up with playing it safe.
... I've got nowhere to go home to.
I'm always grateful for kindness
That's why i want to grow stronger,
(I'm on the way)
...to march on.
I welcome friends and foes.

どうやって次のドア開けるんだっけ　考えてる
もう引き返せない物語始まってるんだ
目を覚ませ　目を覚ませ
How do I open the next door? I'm thinking.
I can't take back this story that has begun.
Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.

この想いを消してしまうには
まだ人生長いでしょ
やり残してることやり直してみたいから
もう一度行こうか
I still have too long a life ahead
to get rid of these feelings, right?
I want to try doing over
the things I've left undone
Shall we go AGAIN?

叶える為に生きてるんだって
叫びたくなるよ 聞こえていますか
無難になんてやってられないから
帰る場所もないの
優しさにはいつも感謝してる
だから強くなりたい　懐かしくなる
こんな痛みも歓迎じゃん
It makes me want to scream that we're alive
For things to come true. Can you hear me?
I can't put up with playing it safe.
... I've got nowhere to go home to.
I'm always grateful for kindness
That's why I want to grow stronger,
(I'm on the way)
I even welcome this pain
for the things i miss

Sooooooooooo very much looking forward to it~! x3

New YUI-net Mobile Wallpapers for June 2009





Yes! This is regarding the prizes in store that was mentioned in the Top of the YUI-net site and in the latest Staff Diary.

YUI-net will be accepting "again" stories - stories based on this lines: ｢もう一度､やってみよう!｣ or ｢もう一度､挑戦してみよう!｣, which roughly translates to "We have to continue again!" or "We have to defy again!" (not so sure with this.

More details on Teo-san's blog:
In order to win, one must get a copy of again CD. There will be a special post card thing inserted in the CD. This is the form for joining. Fill out the form and write down your again story. Something that you have decided to try it out or do it again, and send it back to SONY.

Prizes at stakes are:
50 Rolling star-like again White Wristband - remember this was similar to the one used by YUI during the Rolling star promotion and was even on her guitar during one of her Ms performance. :D

150 Personally signed Guitar Picks - I like this! I want one! :D It even has again pictures!

and it will be "aired" in the new YUI Radio. Isn't that sweet? :D

and even new YUI MOVIE Show! Still regarding these "presents"...Weeeeee

Information above was copied from YUI Stalker. Cos I'm kinda lazy to redo a post since there's already a sorted ones~ xDD

I WANT THE YUI 'AGAIN' PICK!!!!!!!!!! OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG~!!! *faints*

Nearly exhausted~!

I was out with the girls for the whole day, the usual gang, Ringu-chan, Hyinie-chan, Tenga..-kun? xD and Ore-sama~! IF you're wondering who they are. xD Anyways, Ringu and Hyin and I went to tuition from 2 to 4 (supposed to be 1 to 3 but we slacked~ xD), then we went to pick Teng up after tuition. Nothing much to do so we went to etoo.. patastri? to bite some cakes! I don't know what is it called, the name of the cake shop was kind of complicated to me. -.-''

Any way, before Teng put her arse on my car.


Hyin wanted to surprise teng by 'peeping out' of the sky window, but... ended up teng was taking her sweet time showering. Okay~ what a waste~ JKjkjk!! xD Ringu thought her face wouldn't be seen so.. =x Hahahah!! okay~! We're so high today~!! xD We were out from 4 to etoo, 10 something at night, then only we're willing to go home. Sigh~ the time really flies~ D=

We tried to sing a lot of songs like crazy today as I 'stole' my dad's car mp3 player, since he's not home~ xD It was challenging, and fun indeed!! xDD We had Nasi Katok at Jerudong, then went to Jerudong beach, and there we were to sing again!! But it was just for an hour before we had to go home. Well, so HERE I am to blog now, then gone. xD

I might not be blogging for tomorrow, it depends, unless I'm at home. My parents are not going to be at home for 2 weeks, so I have to sleep over my cousin's house, which is... Darrrrn bored D= I've got nothing to do there. But maybe this would be a perfect time for me to start revising my topics. Well, till then~

Tada~ =D



Monkehy cousins~ XD

It's been awhile~

I'm starting with my usual line - it's been awhile, people! And now I'm using my phone to blog, troublesome indeed. However, having my blog hanging on the net without any updates for so long makes me feel like it's dying for good. =.=

We were in the computer lab in the school, I was trying to log into the blog but the net was so slow like a snail that even loading into blogger's dashboard took the whole period to be done (which was half an hour = =) . Well, I have nothing better to do any way, so I decided to look for some an cafe's pictures while waiting for the dashboard to done loading.

THIS, is AN CAFE!! Old and new. I'd doubt most of you would like them but yea, it's one of my favourite from few years back. I've almost forgotten about them when I suddenly found their pictures in my pc yesterday. I knew this band from one of my friend, they are quite a good one. But one of their member was gone since 2007 and I only know about this news by yesterday. D= If you look into the pictures and you might find it obvious to recognize whose the one I'm talking about. He's Bou, a guitarist, my favourite member from this group. His last performance was on April 30, 2007. For your information, they're PUNK, not EMO. I saw this girl online saying they look EMO, and No, they don't even LOOK like EMO! D=

The OLD An Cafe! When Bou was still there. It looked so gorgeous! But the new one isn't that bad too~ =3

Bou! He does look like a girl. I understand some of you out there might think this is disgusting but well, this is just the way he is, he does no harm to people but everyone loved him so much that they cried real hard when he left. D'=

Well, if you look carefully, he still looks like a boy, you can still see his male body line (with no breast xp ). It's just that he's cute that made him looks like a girl, and well, his recording company wanted him to dress up like a girl, you can't put all the blame on him. =O

I like this piece the most! x3

And here comes the NEW Antique Cafe! Bou has been replaced by Takuya and they're also joined by a new keyboardist, Yuuki. Well, I don't really like him, he looks weird! D= He's always wearing a cap and a pair of sun glasses, it's as if he couldn't let the world see his face! =O But I see there's no point in disliking him, since his also a member of An Cafe and without him they wouldn't be too much better. =D

Tada~! x3

Distance...

Distance to my dream had increased 10 dollars~! D=

Some useful sites =D

I was doing research online and found these pages where I think they're pretty useful to us Form5 students, though some of them are meant to be for pure science students, but there should be no harm knowing more about this and that right? xD Click on the links to know what I'm trying to say. =D

Biology
Chemistry
Physics

Ba, I gonna continue my hiatus status~ xD tata peeps~ xD

Scream it out loud!

Scream - Troy



The day a door was closed
The echoes fill your soul
They won't say which way to go
Just trust your heart

To find you're here for
Open another door
But I'm not sure anymore
It's just so hard

Voices in my head
Tell me they know best
Got me on the edge
they're pushin', pushin',
they're pushin'
I know they've got a plan
But the balls in my hands
This time its man-to-man,
I'm driving, fighting inside

A world that's upside down
Spinning faster
What do I do now? Without you

I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!

I'm kickin' down the walls
I gotta make 'em fall
Just break through them all
I'm punchin', crashin', I'm gonna
Fight to find myself
Me and no one else
Which way? I can't tell,
I'm searchin', searchin', can't find the
Road that I should take
I should! turn right or left is
It's like nothing works without you

I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!

Yeah, the clock's running down,
hear the crowd gettin' loud!
I'm consumed by the sound!
Is it her? Is it love?
Can the music ever be enough?
Gotta work it out, gotta work it out!
You can do it, you can do it!

I don't know, where to go, what's the right team?
I want my own thing. So bad I'm gonna Scream!
I can't choose, so confused! What's it all mean?
I want my own dream. So bad I'm gonna Scream!

Ohh! Ahh!!!!

-------------------------------------------

*The mountain isn't the reason that one stops moving forward, but it is the smaller stepping stones met during the journey to the peak.*

A very nice phrase that I found on one of the book on my book shelves, it's indeed very meaningful. =]

Career? Interest?

Minna-san~ xD I will be on hiatus for awhile, though I know I've been hiatus for about a month or so. =x I'm lacking the intention to blog. D= Mid-year Exam is around the corner, which is next week, paper one will be on tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Well, hopefully I could be able to score good for Maths! So I can get YUI CD! xD

I will come back with some entries~ =D



Struggling.

Well, not really.

I don't wanna think so much for now.

I wish I was rich, but who wouldn't?

lol.

This is reality, how ironic can it be?

being occupied with tons of things~

Hii peeps~ Apparently I haven't been blogging for some times due to my laziness and well, works are piling up like... insane... = =" For now, I still have biology project in hand, MIB group presentation (though it's not so important, =x but well~ I think I shouldn't keep on behaving like this since it's still gonna be written in my result sheet *sighs* = =). I've just done with the powerpoint slide show for the class performance on Monday, Chinese script for stage play competition on 1st of May (lots of preparation is needed), and two of the perfomance on 5th of May. Apparently I have to revise my subjects for the coming exam as well, though I could hardly concentrate on revising ONLY.

I have to say sorry to baato sensei, for I haven't been attending the class very frequently since this month, I didn't purposely skipped it but things aren't going very smoothly that I had to choose to sacrifice some of the lessons... I do admit there're time I feel like slacking off.~ =x But I'm trying not to since mid year is near, and more are coming after the mid year. I know!!! Getting worst. o.O Perhaps it's really time for me to learn what's being 'stressed'~?

Well, aside from going insane with the piling up of works, I was inspired to do CG (computer graphic), and it ended up like this. Not very nice though, but well, this is my errr... first and second time doing a CG? xD Considered not bad, I hope? xp

My first try on SAKURA-CHAN, was just trying out the colouring.
This picture was extracted from Cardcaptor Sakura's manga! =D
If I'm not mistaken, I guess I did this quite awhile ago?

My second try, this time was the sketching and colouring.
Random character. (You do notice she doesn't have eye brows no? = ="")
Did this quite awhile ago also.

Third try, based on my avatar on gaia.
Not very good, but I'm getting used to the tools in illustrator d! xD
I think I'd need a tablet in order to do better in this. o.O

btw, opinions are appreciated! =D
*********************

Moreover, I just found out that my guitar had became 'fat' due to some reason. = = The body had bent to an unbelievable shape.
Freddy: You know what? (points at guitar's 'body') Please tell me what happened to your guitar...
Pei: OH LOL IS IT PREGNANT? O.o
Me: ...

It was bent due to the expansion of the wood, it's not so obvious though, it's just like a woman was pregnant for 3 months... How stupid of me 'cos I left it in my car under the hot sun in a super fine weather, and it's... hopeless now. I'm so... sad... = = Even though I've always been thinking of buying a new guitar, but well, I don't think I have the money to do it. So from now on, I'll try to save up my money, bit by bit, to buy myself an idea guitar with low price, hopefully there's any out there. =]



Ja, koko wa di-enddo dseu~
minna-san, mata ne~ =D
