Half a year ago… I did my fair share of RASUTO FURENZing people, now it’s time to Bibify people! As a gift, I gave my friend NOW & WOW for her birthday… last I checked on the Bibi Facebook group, she’s been Bibified. And I have not only Bibified her… she’s only my latest Bibifying…
I have also Bibified my dad (he says Bibi is my ringtone on his cell), my two older cousins are also Bibified as well… are you ready to be Bibified?

When I watched Memories of Matsuko, there was one scene when Matsuko’s life was already going to the gutters, she was lying on the garbage bags, and she was watching TV. I immediately recognized the song as an Okaasan to Issho song… today I decided to look for it, and found it!
Okaasan to Issho 1999 song, at first I thought it was a Takoyaki Mambo song, but I was lucky enough to find it on a website listing all the songs. Video and Romaji after the break!

Yay for no “this content is not available in your country” messages. Britney and IMEEM team up and have released Circus for preview one week ahead of it’s official release on December 2. I was actually kinda worried that I might not be able to listen to it (like I can’t see some official video releases on YouTube), but thank you IMEEM for letting me sample.
Don’t have an opinion yet… I’m on track two. Anyway, you too… listen to this.

I know some *coughjulyssacough* tried to sample some Bibi Chow [aka. Zhou Bichang] but couldn’t. I just found out… you can sample all of Bibi’s music (sans download, I think) on her website. But ALAS! If you google Bibi Chow you won’t find her website… so I will make it easy. Bibi’s website is BibiSky.com - call me CRUISE, but I thought that was kinda NOT obvious… but oh well, okay.
It’s Flash-based, so can’t give you a direct URL to the music, but follow this:
- enter BibiSky.com and wait for it to load.
- on the green menu [commonly known as the main navigation], click the first option
- you are on bibi’s desk now. there are 4 items on the sub-navigation.
- click on the 3rd item of the sub-navigation. this item will open the stereo on bibi’s desk.
- the stereo has its own navigation to go through bibi’s music [misc., EP, NOW/WOW + other stuff, and Who Touch my Violin String]
- listen away…
Enjoy,

Because I didn’t. I don’t watch awards for music (anymore) other than Grammy, and MTV… and I am doubtful I consider MTV any worth now. However, I read enough headlines on the past American Music Awards to make me curious… so did you watch? I saw 6 clips of the performances…
- Christina Aguilera
- Taylor Swift
- New Kids on the Block
- Jonas Brothers
- Sarah McLachlan & Pink
- Alicia Keys, Queen Latifah & Kathleen Battle
I do like Christina Aguilera, in fact, I love Back to Basics as an album. I don’t think her “greatest” hits was either great (like the writer for Entertainment Weekly) or sucked (like Lainey said) - It was neither here nor there… though the performance of each song was ok, the medley was disaster. O.o
Another medley disaster was New Kids on the Block. LOL - and I do sing along to Steps by Steps or the Right Stuff, so I’m not a hater. I like Jordan Knight solo stuff, as well as Joey McIntyre… but new NKotB smells like middle age crisis. They are still trying to sell it to teens, while telling us NKotB has matured. Doesn’t reflect on the music…
LOL, don’t even get me started on the Jonas Brothers. This is the second live performance I see of them and I’m still unimpressed.
Sarah McLachlan and Pink was good, as was Alicia Keys, Queen Latifah and Kathleen Battle, though I felt that Kathleen Battle didn’t mix well with the whole feel and number, even if she has a voice.
Taylor Swift, however, I was actually kind of impressed. I haven’t had the chance to hear or review Taylor’s sophmore album, just her debut which I thought was kind of decent. Then I heard her speak in an interview and lost the little respect I could get from hearing her music, but this is the first time I see her performing… I was sort of reminded of Faith Hill. *blasphemy!!* xD
White Horse is a pop country-ish ballad that faintly reminded me of Faith Hill’s Fireflies… talking about fairytales and real life, I still need to give a listen to both songs back to back to really know what I’m talking about, but Swift reminded me of Faith Hill in that AMA performance. OJO! Just faintly reminds me… Faith Hill has a voice so powerful… Swift’s voice still needs maturing, she sounds more like a chill studio Avril Lavigne at the moment, but if she goes the right way, I can imagine her in 15 years with a really powerful voice… and better stage presence… you gotta admit she looked a little bit nervous standing there…
