Some Days I Don't Want to be Strong

Konbanwa~
Sorry for skipping out on posting yesterday. But as you all know, it was Halloween and I took some kids out Trick or Treating. As opposed to 30 minutes around if you normally walked, it took us a good 2 hours to get around the whole neighborhood. It was kind of funny, because after 20 minutes of being out the youngest (5) started complaining that her legs were starting to hurt and her bag was getting heavy XD
At that point we only hit about...less than 15 houses? They didn't even give that much candy, keke. Kids these days.

OH. But I have absolutely exciting news~
Nu. I never got a letter T^T Still pretty bummed about that. But maybe next year, ne? This news did kind of sadden me a bit but nonetheless I'm more excited than disappointed 8D
The PV Preview for Morning Musume's 44th single "Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game" is out!

At first with the dance scene, I thought, "I still don't like those outfits. This PV seems kind of boring." But then as soon as it zoomed on Reina in the pondish setting I was absolutely hooked. "HOLY CREPES I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS PV. THOSE OUTFITS ARE FREAKIN GORGEOUS♥"
With all due respect, they really are 8D Everyone looks absolutely beautiful. Not only is it really saddening that such a great song is Eri, Junjun, and Linlin's last single, but I still am a bit disheartened about the audition thing.
I'm getting the hope and feeling that this song better be/will be a huge hit. They better be doing a lot of promotions or I'll be even more ticked off with Tsunku (not that I blame him for my rejection, that's probably the preliminary people that checked it).
I just remembered though, the same day this single comes out is the same day AKB48 (or SKE48, either way I don't like them) and I think some other popular group (I think it was Arashi?) plans on releasing their new single as well.
As much as I'd love to have them hit #1, you can kind of tell it's going to be very difficult. But I have faith in the group and I think they lowest they'll hit is at least 3 or 4! But let's aim for 1, since it is a last single for some.
Also released was a short radio rip of the song:
It's Niigaki Risa speaking at the beginning if you're curious. I think also with her is Junjun or Ai. Not sure.

Compared to the concert version I've heard, the concert has stronger voice, but this sounds just as great 8D Pray for a hit~

Since I missed the Halloween mark yesterday, I apologize, but this was too cool to pass up. Members of some popular groups danced to Michael Jackson's hit song "Thriller" for the occasion. I especially love Taemin's brief dance ^^ He's a seriously talented dancer.


Also pretty interesting, coming soon is 2010 MAMA. What is that? MAMA is short for Mnet Asia Music Awards. It's held yearly, and this year it's in Macau, China. As one of the advertisements to get fans to vote, 2NE1's Sandara Park promoted the voting site in Tagalog. To those of you who don't know your Asians (No offenses, but shame on you), Tagalog is the language used in my good old country the Philippines. Apparently, at one point Sandara and her little brother Thunder (of MBLAQ) used to live there.
I'm not a huge fan of 2NE1 overall, but you can't hate Dara's Filipino accent.

**TRANSLATION**
: Hello, how are you?
: Why'd you call?
: Who? Taeyang? Why?
: ah~ MAMA!
: Yes, we're going to Macau too.
: Did you vote?
: Did you vote for 2NE1?
: Ok, i'll take a look.
: 2010MAMA.com
: Vote now to 2010MAMA.COM and you can also vote on Shilla Internet Duty Free

Since it's starting to get late here, I'll wrap things up with today's song. Luckily for me, there's no school tomorrow (But wouldn't it have made better sense if it was today?), so I'll post tomorrow to kind of make up for skipping out earlier.
So, today's song is pretty inspirational and (lucky for you) in slightly accented English! G20's "Let's Go." The song and group were basically made for the 2010 Seoul Summit.

Gosh. I envy some of the girls voices. Even if they don't speak English, they can still sing it beautifully~ This year's G20 (I think it changes yearly, not sure this is my first time) consists of:
G.O (MBLAQ), JunHyung (BEAST), GaYoon (4Minute), G.NA ,Gyuri (KARA), SeoHyun (SNSD), JaeKyung (Rainbow), Kahi (AfterShool), Luna (Fx), JiEun (Secret), Min (missA), Son DamBi, IU, Anna, BomKi (Twins), JunSu (2PM), ChangMin (2AM), JongHyun (SHINee), SungMin (Super Junior), Seo InGook.

And as for today's quote...
"Think three times before you act."
- Key

That's all for today! Hope you had an awesome Halloween and weekend+week, and hope this week goes even better ^^ Thanks for all the support you guys have given me, even if I didn't make it. Who knows, maybe there'll be another audition for overseas people. A person can dream, but you have to hope and believe in it for it to come true. Thanks for the read mina-san~
