KAT-TUN 2nd single "SIGNAL" PV

KAT-TUN's second single "SIGNAL" is going to be released on July 19th.　This was a combined advertising campeign with NTT DoCoMo's new 9 series cell phones, and we have seen the commercial featuring parts of the music video.　Today the long-awaited full version of The promotional vedio (PV) is finally out!　Last night, I stayed up until 3am in the morning to download and watch it, and it was well worth it!　XD

Even though it is not as powerful as their first single, "REAL FACE," this song has a fast, light tempo, a catchy melody, cheerful lyrics, and a lot of cute sound effects.　Of course, it also showcases each of the member's unique strengths such as their unique dancing style, Koki's RAP and Nakamaru's Beat-Boxing, and, of course, Jin's wonderful, wonderful voice!　XD　

Except all of Jin's solo lines, my favorite part of the song is the bridge part with Koki and Maru's RAP + Beat-Box combination.　It is really nice and the tempo is really cool.　It makes you want to close your eyes and shake your head along with it!　I am indeed becoming more and more impressed with Koki and Maru, neh!　^________^~　

My favorite parts of the music video would, of course, be all of the parts where you can see Jin on screen!　There is not enough words to describe how cute, handsome, sexy,... he is!　Just watch it and you will see!　XD

Other than all of JinJin's parts, I especially like the part close to the end where it shows all of the group members closed in a rectangular room.　The special effects made it look like there is gravity pulling from all sides of the room, so somethings you have people standing on the walls or the ceiling!　And the boys seem to just be playing with each other and basically do what they love doing most -- fool around.　This part passes by really quickly, so it's not very easy to catch what each person is doing in each scene, but they are all really hilarious!　So be sure to pay attention to catch it, neh!　XD

That's all for my sharing (rambling)!　Now it's time to check out the YouTube stream below, lor~　Please leave your thoughts and comments, neh!　^^~

じん くん，お誕生日おめでと～！

謹獻上這首歌，給明天即將滿 22歲 的遠方的可愛的仁.....

雖然也想過要不要改歌詞，但是一來娃很沒這方面的才華，
(其實是壓根兒沒任何藝術方面的天份啦！　＞ｗ＜)
二來...　Why tamper with perfection?
就算不是完全符合 14歲就開始在日本演藝圈打拼的仁，
但是就很多意義上，年輕人的意念跟成長的歷程還是有很多互通的！
這首歌的歌詞，仁看了一定也會很喜歡、很能體會吧！！

最近想來研究怎樣在 blog 上面播放音樂，
等研究好了，再把歌放上來讓大家邊聽邊逛網頁吧～

==================================================
To Dear JIN-kun,

I wish you the best on this spacial day, July 4th, 2006, your 22nd birthday!

May all your dreams come true!　May every day of the coming year be extremely fulfilling and exciting with new opportunities and new challenges to show off your talents in doing what you love most!!　p^Q^q

Please take good care of your health!　(Lay off too much partying, neh~ XD)

May you get to spend lots of quality time with the family and friends you care so much about.　They are the ones who can provide you with an abundance of joy and laughter;　they are also the ones who will be able to comfort you and give you advice when you are down or confused.

May you continue to grow and mature in everything you try.　May more and more people in the world know and appreciate your hard work, talents, and natural style.　And may I continue to see a little bit of something new from you each and every day~　 Y^~^Y

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　～　by QT Sushi

二十二

作詞：陶吉吉/娃娃　作曲：陶吉吉　編曲：陶吉吉

春天是他最愛的季節　當微風隨意吹亂他的頭髮
他並不在意身邊世界的吵雜　只想著自己生命中的變化
還有十五分鐘才午休　從早到晚沒有想像中那麼好過
安定的日子不一定就是幸福　忘不掉他在心裡做過的夢

他今年農曆三月六號剛滿二十二　剛甩開課本要離開家看看這世界
卻發現許多煩惱要面對 oh yeah
他常會嚮往能回到那年他一十二　只需要好好上學生活單純沒憂愁
他就像一朵蓓蕾滿懷希望(他一直滿懷希望)

秋天是忽然間就來臨　青春雖然有本錢可以灑脫
一場戀愛二十二個月後結束　才知道有些感情不值得賭
九月天氣還是有點熱　他想公車再不來就走一走路
他開始明白等待未必有結果　一個人也能走上夢的旅途

人生偶爾會走上一條陌路　像是沒有指標的地圖
別讓他們說你該知足　只有你知道什麼是你的幸福
他常會嚮往能回到那年他一十二　只需要好好上學生活單純沒憂愁
他笑著想過未來 oh 他應該得到幸福　如此的簡單的夢
有沒有實現
