Watched Evangelion 2.0 : You Can (Not) Advance courtesy of e@Curve (formerly Cineleisure Damansara)..Got the tickets from Robb the hamsap handsome guy wtf >.<
Evangelion 2.0 is the second part of a tetralogy movies of Evangelion..
It is said that the first 3 parts are almost similar to the original series with the final instalment to be an original production..
But in this Evangelion 2.0 : You Can (Not) Advance, almost half of the movie is already talking a different approach in its story-telling..
A new character of Maki Illustrious Makinami, a new EVA pilot is introduced..Some of the plots have been changed and yet it’s as thrilling as ever!
If you have watched the original series of Neon Genesis Evangelion, you would already the pace and style of this animation, slow and mind-boggling..
So if you are not really an anime fan but wanted to try something new, this MIGHT not be the right thing for you..Do choose your movie again..
Although I have forgotten most parts of the original series, I enjoyed the movie very much..
If you are watching this movie, DO NOT LEAVE WHEN THE CREDITS IS COMING OUT..
There’s a sneak peek of what to expect in Evangelion 3.0, after the credits..
In conjunction with Evangelion 2.0, here’s a very nice song called Komm Susser Todd, sung by Hideaki Anno, the producer and director of Evangelion series..
The song Komm Susser Todd is actually an insert song for the original series..
It’s actually a sad song but the tune and rhythm is so joyous and happy-go-lucky kinda mood..It’s plain genius!
Komm Susser Todd - Hideaki Anno
I know, I know I’ve let you down
I’ve been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
live for no one else
But now through all the hurt and pain
It’s time for me to respect
the ones you love
mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
I feel the best thing I could do
is end it all
and leave forever
What’s done is done, it feels so bad
what once was happy now is sad
I’ll never love again
my world is ending
I wish that I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is all mine
can’t live without the trust from those you love.
I know we can’t forget the past
you can’t forget love and pride
because of that its killing me inside
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
In my heart of hearts,
I know that I could never love again
I’ve lost everything, everything
everything that matters to me,
matters in this world
I wish that I could turn back time
cos now all the guilt is mine
can’t live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can’t forget the past
you can’t forget love and pride
because of that, it’s killing me inside
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down…
That’s right, the winner of American Idol Season 8 was here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a showcase 1 week prior to CNY..
Interesting fact about Kris Allen is that he’s the first Idol winner to perform in Malaysia..David Archuleta is not counted because he is not the winner..He’s a runner-up..
It sure is special because the to go to the showcase, it’s by invitation only, no money can buy..Many thanks to STAR World and Sony Music again..
If you didn’t know yet, he was here to promote his latest album, titled Kris Allen..
And boy I’m glad I was the lucky few to be able to stand closer to the stage as compared to few hundreds of others..
*The early birds*
These are the people of VIP, media, and winners of Kris Allen contests..Almost everyone was pushing their way as near to the stage as possible..
*The opening hosts, JJ and Ean of Hitz.fm*
JJ and Ean of Hitz.fm were the hosts of the night with their funny and crazy antics..
Roughly at about 9pm, sound-check was done and the band who played for Kris Allen came out to get ready, followed by Kris Allen himself..
*Kris Allen*
He did a few covers with a bit of jazzy rhythm to it..
*Framed*
Not like I didn’t expect things like screamings and shoutings from teenage girls and/or kids, but they really rocked the house down..
I was almost deafened when I was walking around near to the crowd..
Well I guess I’ve done enough of talking..More photos after the jump..
As many of you have heard of this and it’s no urban legend not myth nor shits but it’s real..LIKE FOR REAL~!!!!
KRIS ALLEN IS COMING TO TOWN~!!!! No not Tim Allen, Kris Allen..The 8th American Idol, Kris Allen..The one who battled against glam-rocker Adam Lambert..
I know you want to see this cute guy I mean, which girl doesn’t, right?
*Kris Allen LIVE in KL*
As you can see from the poster, Press Conference on Monday 8th February 2010 at G6, The Gardens, 6th Floor near Isetan Store..
This is not like a free public event like what you had with Nokia Comes With Music event..
He’s here to promote his self-titled album, Kris Allen..
If you want to attend his EXCLUSIVE showcase and meet & greet (M&G) session with Kris Allen, all you have to do is..
If you still don’t know who is Kris Allen, maybe this could ring a bell..Kris Allen’s Live Like We’re Dying with its MTV and lyrics..
Kris Allen - Live Like We’re Dying
Sometimes we fall down and can’t get back up
We’re hiding behind skin thats to tough
How come we don’t say I love you enough
Till it’s to late, it’s not to late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won’t come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
We’re all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you
What would you wish you would’ve done
Yeah gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we’ve been given here
This is all that we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second counts on a clock thats tickin
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell em that we love em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
And if your plane fell out of the sky
Who would you call with your last goodbye
Should be so careful who we left out of our lives
So when we’re left for absolution
There’ll be no one on the line
Yeah gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we’ve been given here
This is all that we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second counts ona clock thts tickin
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell em that we love em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
Like we’re dying
Ohhhh like we’re dying
Like we’re dying
Ohhhh like we’re dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell em that we love em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
You never know a good thing til it’s gone
You never see a crash til it’s heads on
All these people right when we’re dead wrong
You never know a good thing til it’s gone
Yeah gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we’ve been given here
This is all that we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second counts ona clock thts tickin
Gotta live like we’re dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell em that we love em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
Like we’re dying
Ohhhh like we’re dying
Like we’re dying
Ohhhh like we’re dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell em that we love em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying
After going to the recent breath-taking mini concert by Ne-Yo, I just can’t get enough of R&B stuff..
I’ve mentioned about Chris Brown few weeks back and yes, I’ve grabbed myself Chris Brown’s latest album Graffiti..
*Chris Brown’s Graffiti*
I’ve got myself the Deluxe edition, where it has 21 tracks in it! How often do you get an album with such numbers of tracks? Close to none!
I would say this album is rather amazing which left me forgotten that he had got himself in some abuse issue..Rihanna who?
The first single, “I Can Transform Ya”, which is the first track in the album, is quite catchy with Lil’ Wayne and Swiss Beats..
But I like the second single, “Crawl”, more than the first..It has a soft touch in its beat that I think it could be a hit on our local radio..
I’m not surprise if clubs are playing tracks like “Famous Girl” and “I.Y.A” over and over again as the rhythm makes you move to the groove..
Talking about clubs, I think “For Your Love” is a happy-going song that is very much suitable to be played as closers in clubs, instead of slow-mo songs..
In the entire album, I must say “Girlfriend” featuring Lupe Fiasco caught my ears the most with its catchy tune and lyrics..
It goes like..
I don’t want your girlfriend,
I don’t want your girlfriend,
She la la la la la la,
La la la la la la,
Now I bet you can imagine the catchiness of the track..
As for lovey-dovey songs, it has “Sing Like Me”, “Lucky Me”, “I’ll Go”, “Gotta Be Your Man”, “I Love You”, “Chase Our Love” which will definitely melt your girl’s heart..
The chorus of “Lucky Me” says..
I gotta pose for the cameras,
Even when my world’s falling down,
I still wear a smile,
Lucky me,
Even though im so damaged,
I gotta pick myself up and peform for the crowd,
Lucky me,
Shows that he’s putting himself in a some serious that he’s coming back albeit all the controversies surrounding for a year and he just has to do it!
With this great album, I bet he IS coming back to the music scene..
I would a good rating of 3.5/5 and I can assure that it’s a good album, considering I usually listen to rock albums..
It’s been quite some time since my last Japanese song review..I think it’s good that I put up a song from a not so new Japanese anime..
Abingdon Boys School, formed in 2005, named after the British independent school Abingdon School, in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, where the rock band Radiohead is established..
Led by Takanori Nishikawa, the vocal behind T.M Revolution, together with Sunao (guitar), Hitoshi Shibasaki (ex Wands guitarist), Toshiyuki Kishi (keyboard), Ikuo (bass), and Kozy Hasegawa (drums)..
I should have known by listening to their earlier tracks like “Innocent Sorrow” (D.Gray Man OP1), “Strength” (Soul Eater ED4), and few others, the voice is definitely very familiar..
T.M Revolution, best-known for their many tracks in some of the Gundam series especially Gundam SEED, the voice of Nishikawa is no stranger to me..
Now move back to the song Kimi no Uta by Abingdon Boys School, an opening song (OP) for Tokyo 8.0 Magnitude, an anime with lots of good reviews..
It’s about Tokyo fall into a chaotic situation where a 8.0 magnitude earthquake hit it and the story goes on from there..
It’s thrilling and touching and whatever it is..
I have the whole season but have yet to watch a single episode..
Anyhow, here’s the MTV and lyrics for Kimi no Uta by Abingdon Boys School..
Anime Opening Clip - Tokyo 8.0 Magnitude
Abingdon Boys School - Kimi no Uta

I always got mixed up between Chris Brown and the make up product Bobby Brown..I always thought to myself why would Chris Brown come up with a make up product of his own name?
So I realized I made a big mistake on that everytime I passby Bobby Brown at Midvalley..
Chris Brown’s fame came to light in 2007 with #1 smash hits “With You”, “Forever”, and “Kiss Kiss” (featuring T-Pain)..
With such hits, he was the most nominated artist at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards (with eleven nominations) five of which he won including Choice Music Male Artist..
Here are Chris Brown’s other outstanding feats during his fame reigns..
Three 2008 American Music Awards (Favorite Male Artist-Pop, Favorite Male Artist-Soul/R&B Music Artist of the Year - also named by the same title by Billboard Magazine)
Four 2008 BET Awards (including Best Male R&B Artist and Best Collaboration with T-Pain for “Kiss Kiss”)
MTV Video Music Award (Best Male Video for “With You”)
2008 NAACP Award for Outstanding Male Artist
2008 World Music Award for World’s Best Male R&B Artist
Two more Grammy nominations including Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Take You Down.”
During his reign as in before the hoo hah regarding him and Rihanna..I’ll say, so what? Even P. Diddy and Eminem carried a gun and went to court..That’s about it..
Internationally, they are still famous and getting songs into the top music charts..I don’t see Malaysian Government banning their songs on local radio stations..
