虎斑☆恐龍王 - 空が泣くから (因為天空在哭泣)

For those of you who aren't familiar with J-Pop, ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI (虎斑☆恐龍王) is the name Domoto Tsuyoshi (堂本剛) started using early last year when he released works of his own outside of the pop group, Kinki Kids (近畿小子), which is celebrating its 10th Anniversary since CD Debut this year.

I have liked Tsuyoshi a lot since I watched his "金田一少年事件簿" series a long time ago. And his singing skills has universally been acknowledged as one of the best, if not THE best, among all the Johnny's artists. 

I personally liked his voice a lot since I first knew he belongs to a pop group and found some of their songs to listen to. And actually he is the one person, because of his voice and also his TV dramas, that got me sort of interested in learning about Johnny's artists. But I haven't really been "watching his every move," either, just catching something here and there. 

It wasn't until around one year ago when I started getting "really" interested in Johnny's artists (OK~ One Johnny's artist in particular, lah~~ XP), that I started paying more attention to Tsuyoshi's recent work. (Since Kinki Kids are KAT-TUN's sembai, and are actually the main reason KAT-TUN got started -- in order to back-dance for Kinki Kids on a TV Show.) 

When I see Tsuyoshi again after so many years, he seems to have become this really weird old man (怪叔叔)... Not only dressing but also behaving weird.... Not weird in a bad way, but more like very eccentric and has his extremely distinct style. That's why since then, I have nicknamed and been calling him "Ojisan" in a joking but loving way, because his style is so weird that it's already become cute in his own way! XD 

But it's not only the way he dresses that's evolved, but also his singing style and skills! He has incorporated a lot of Funk into his own music and has really developed a very unique sound that's very unusual but pleasant to the ears as well. He has not only sold three No. 1 singles, 1 No. 1 album, but also performed more than 100 solo concerts at a specially designed / built arena throughout 2006. 

Despite all this, this PV for ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI's 3rd single (released 2006.02.07) really blew me away when I saw it by accident on TV one morning last week... I can't describe why or how, but it's not only the song itself, but also the PV that gave a strong, lasting impression... Even though I didn't understand the lyrics, but just the sound and the kind-of-weird-but-very-cool-PV is unique and memorable enough for me to want to post this long post and share his music with everybody. 

感覺好像自己的兒子長大成人了一樣! p>\\\\\\\\<q
真的是全世界最酷、最有才華的怪叔叔了!! XDDDDDDDDD

After all that long introduction, please now watch this PV! ^_________^~

P.S.
Don't ask me what the weird hand thing means, lah~ |||Orz

A New Beginning...

昨天下班前花了將近一小時把辭呈打好了....
呼~ 寫得文情並茂的~ 還真消耗精神哪~ |||Orz

離開辦公室、關電腦前一秒,深呼吸了幾口,
手有點顫抖著點了 "Send" 把它寄出去了.... >"<

其實因為我們公司這幾年來,
已經有很多跡象讓同事們相信未來不會很樂觀....
所以大家幾乎都已經有遲早要離開的心理準備了,
只是離開的方式跟時間還不確定而已。

我想我會這麼快請辭,
可能公司的大家完全都沒有預料到吧.... XP
因為一直以來我都很受老闆們照顧,沒有很嚴重的委屈,
雖然常常為台北辦公室員工的待遇抱不平,
但是從來沒有表示過自己即將離開的決定....

最近老闆們打算把台北業務部移去上海的暗示越來越多,
大家工作上越來越辛苦、意志也越來越低沉....
所以,要在這的節骨眼上離開,
我其實覺得對每天一起同甘共苦的同事們蠻不好意思的...
突然地、私底下遞了辭呈,好像是臨時逃脫一樣...
而且更不好意思的是必須把我的工作份量加在其他同事身上....
很擔心她們會覺得好像我背叛、拋棄了她們、擅自離開...

唉~ 辭呈寫著寫著眼框都紅起來了....
因為真的很捨不得這裡的同事說!!
大家都超級善良的,我跟她們相處得都很融洽...
去到新的公司不知道會是什麼情形呀... O_O|||
如果遇到很會勾心鬥角的工作環境,
或是找不到很談得來、很麻吉的朋友,
我一定會超級想念她們、捨不得這裡的兩年十個月啦!! ~"~

雖然以後還是可以繼續跟同事們保持聯絡、偶而開開同樂會,
但是畢竟無法再像現在這樣每天相處、
邊做事邊天南地北聊天、互相關心、互相幫忙、彼此開玩笑、
興奮地拿無聊的東西打賭、批評老闆、一起訂購名產、等等...
唉唉~ 越想越難過說.... >Q<~

但是這真的是不得已的...
本來就很清楚即早離開才是明智的決定,
現在因為遇到了一個很有潛力的 Offer,
前兩個禮拜思考、跟爸媽討論過後就確定了....
雖然跟我原本的計畫不同,但是是個很難得的機會,
應該會很辛苦,一開始可能會受到很大的挫折....
但是絕對可以學到很多以前完全沒有接觸過的事情!
所以決定要試試看,希望可以為我的未來開拓更明確的路。

即將要離開習慣的環境、進入一個陌生的國度,
而且因為沒有辦法跟同事分享我的膽顫心驚,
所以在這裡講,除了能夠紀錄一下現在的心情、激勵自己,
更希望能夠給予我勇氣面對前方未知的路。 O_O|||


P.S.
今天一下班就要直接衝去趕車囉~
祝大家新年快樂、「豬」事如意!! ︿︿
明年見囉~ XD

好久不見的 Rambling~

1. Symptoms of Aging?

唉.... 人真是老了.... 
二○○七年才過不到兩個月,
我竟然已經三次扭到脖子了!! |||Orz
不是睡覺時姿勢不對落枕那種....
就是很平常的動作,轉頭、抬頭時,
莫名奇妙就突然聽到「喀喫」一聲,
很清楚地感覺到脖子有某跟筋轉歪了... ~"~
之後就是持續幾天的僵硬、酸痛、無力等等折磨....

第一次比較輕微,沒理它、漸漸就好了...
第二次真的很痛,
頭只要一轉到某個角度,脖子到肩膀就整個抽痛到無力...
後來同事教我用藥膏用力搓揉...
試用過好幾種不同的藥膏,發現泰國的清草膏最有效,
幾番折騰後,兩三天之後終於比較好了...
但是心裡的陰影已經慢慢開始擴散了....

可能是因為連續扭到兩次,
心裡面會比較緊張、肢體動作也跟著緊繃...
沒想到上週六我又扭到了.... >Q<~
一聽到那個「喀喫」一聲,
當時腦裡的第一個念頭竟然是:「きた~ (來了~)」
好像認命了自己已經開始進入要每天跟身體各種不適搏鬥的年齡...
原本以為還離我很遠的東西,
已經悄悄地來到門前開始敲門了....
有種「Pending Doom」的感覺.... O_Oa
還好這次我已經學會了,馬上就開始努力地擦清草膏...
不到兩天後的現在,已經幾乎完全沒感覺了....
但是心理個那個陰影,越來越沉重了.... |||Orz

2. 春節計畫

今年春節連續假日有彈性放假一天,
總共是從 2月17日 (六) 到 2月25日 (日) 九天整

年假期間要回家跟家人一起環島旅遊....

我回台灣以來的四個春節,
每年都是環島,每年都是同樣那幾家親戚,
每年都大致上走同樣的路線,
還幾乎都住同樣的地方、吃同樣那幾家地方小吃.... |||Orz
難道這樣也可以變成一種傳統? @_@

我沒回國前,我爸媽春節出國玩好幾次....
我一回來,卻因為覺得旅費太高而都不去了.... ˋˊ+++
(其實是因為多了我一個拖油瓶啦~~~~ 嗚嗚嗚~~~)
我還是比較懷念小時候所有親戚團聚在阿公阿嬤家吃年夜飯的感覺...
如果不能趁難得的假日出國玩的話
(說實在旅費也實在太坑人了... 一.一+++),
我真的還寧可待在家裡閒閒的看仁仁說....
或是去看電影什麼的也可以...

不過話說回來,也不是完全沒有好處啦....
至少我不需要出很多紅包錢給一堆親戚的小孩,自己又回收不了....
(早已超過收紅包的年齡,又還沒有小孩可以拿親戚的紅包)
只需要給父母跟一點小意思給外甥就好... ︿︿
但是光這樣其實對我來說已經是很大一筆開銷了呢.... O_Oa
