T3-96

I was planning on a new blog, and actually started one, but since the end of the year is near, I gave up on it.

MUST FOCUS FOR FINALS.

T3-95

After a solid 6-7 hours worth of sleep this morning, I felt much better, though far from regular.

Last night I was working on my memory book at 3 something, after going to IC's house for STI Fair. I couldn't think of anything to right, so I went to the bed for a quick rest because I was just so tired. Then I woke up at 10:00 or so the next morning. It felt so good though.

Our play yesterday was pretty good, I think. I was surprised at how we all pulled it together. I personally almost didn't do anything until the last week. There were just so many people who spent so much time on the play and dedicated their heart into it.

In the past four days, I've slept at 4, 3, 1, and 12 am. Pretty bad, I know.

By the way, sales of Heart Station in Japan have officially surpassed ULTRA BLUE's sales!!!! That is the first time that any of her albums have sold more than the preceding one. Then again though, Ultra Blue was at the lowest point of her career since her debut, so sales weren't sky high. Heart Station also has some pretty consistent sales due to the drama tie-in of 'Prisoner of Love'. The sales of PoL are consistent, but they're the lowest of her Japanese career. Nevertheless, for a recut single in Japan, its pretty good. Digitally though, its an entirely different world, and PoL is doing pretty well.

Everytime I blink my vision stutters for a bit.

T3-91 Final Distance

Eason Chan's pretty good.

I would like to spend some time during the summer to refocus, and of course look at priorities and make plans. I've never really done that before during the summer, I think.

T3-90 60s 70s 80s

Namie Amuro is considered one of the three royalty of female J-pop. She was at the top of the charts before Utada and Hamasaki even debuted, and earned the title 'Queen of Hip-Hop' (or was it J-pop?). Then, because of several hiatuses from the industry, her career started to decline (but not super giant decline), and rebounded slightly with the release of her awesome album 'PLAY' in 2006. Her latest single, which I've talked about before, '60s 70s 80s', was released earlier this year, and became her biggest hit sales-wise in a long time.

She is also of the three 'Queens/Empresses' of J-Pop, the best dancer, the one with the best hair, the one with the most risqué image, and the oldest (at 30 years old). For '60s 70s 80s', she chose three songs, one from the 60s (New Look), 70s (Rock Steady), 80s (What a Feeling), redid them, and for the music videos, partnered with Vidal Sassoon and Patricia Fields. Vidal Sassoon made 30 second clips of her videos and used them in commercials for their VS hair products, and Patricia Fields was the costume designer for them all. Fields was the person responsible for 'The Devil Wears Prada', 'Sex and the City', 'Ugly Betty', and a couple of other stuff.

The PV's are pretty good. By the way, 'Stay Gold' was used in a commercial for Ascience, Kao's competing hair product.

T3-89 Final Distance

I was pretty late to school today. Our science teacher wasn't there, but I missed a test and she didn't mark one of my assignments.

My brain is just a jumble of things now, I don't even know what I'm trying to say.

By the way, for the English album, I used 6 Utada Hikaru songs, 5 of them Japanese. They were Hikari, Final Distance, Take 5, First Love, Kremlin Dusk, and Passion.

The other ones were Say My Name (Destiny's Child), Hung Up (Madonna), Unity (Kelly Rowland), and Wake Up Call (Maroon 5).
