For some odd reason, I've suddenly have fallen in love with Japanese things. Pocky (yummy yummy! It's a breadstick covered in chocolate or any other flavor. You can find them at wal mart in the aisan cuisine section for a dollar a box), manga, anime, shows, and MOST definataly- the music. (I blame all this sudden love on my friend, Ten-chan... thanks Ten!) There is a jpop band that I really like called Orange Range. You can go onto youtube and watch some of their videos (with english subs of course! lol) One of my favorite songs by them is called 'Kirikirimai' or, in English- 'Round and Round'. It is so awesome! They preformed Kirikirimai live at this one place, and WOW!! There was fire and everything! It was one of their best preformences. They also preformed one of their songs "Sayonara" (or 'Good bye" in English) live and it was just as amazing! My fave is 'Ikenai Taiyou' (aka 'The Bad Sun'). Ikenai Taiyou is the theme song to my fave show- Hana Kimi!!! (Yes, it is a manga and live action drama!!! Yeah! 2 in 1!! lol) 'Locolotion' (aka- locolotion! lol It translates the same in English) is cute- but very raunchy!  (It's about hot girls... need I say more?? But the beat is good). 'Hana' (aka 'Flower' in English) is amazing. It has beautiful meaning and wonderful words. 'Viva Rock' (It is the same in English) is about the world uniting and just being peaceful and happy, and also it is about Japan needing to come out of their dictating country and becoming a free country. (That's why they spell 'american' in the song) . 'Champion' (The same in English) is one of my faves!! It's about rocking out and loving life even when nobody else is! It's a very cool song- it makes you dance!! The band is made up of 5 people- Yoh (plays the bass, and my fave band member), Yamato (high vocals),  Ryo (low vocals), Naoto (guitar), and Hikaru(medium vocals... i think that's his name... i'll check it out and come back later and fix it ^_^). There is no drummer- well, there used to be. His name was Kat-chan, but he left because of a disease on his pinky, and for certain reasons that he won't disclose. There is a drummer, but no one knows his name. (Well, at least the public... lol) Creepy, I know!! lol Their music is awesome, they are very popular, they hold amazing concerts, everyone loves them... and you should too!! ^_^ Go onto youtube and watch some videos of Orange Range (I suggest 'Champion' to any first time Orange Range viewers!! It's awesome!! Type in 'Champion Orange Range' and the first result that pops up should say 'Champion Orange Range with English Subtitles' or something like that. Just make sure the title says 'with english subtitles'... lol) Have fun!!!
