A pretty cool set of earphones. The bass is good and the reviews online are pretty good as well.

If anyone is interested in buying earphones or headphones, check out Jaben Network which has a store located in the building opposite of Funan. Friendly owners and good stuff. You can try out the various earphones there as well. Highly recommended!

A very creative music video. The best I’ve seen so far.

突然很想你
词曲:阿信

最怕空气突然安静 最怕朋友突然担心
最怕回忆 突然翻滚绞痛著 不平息
最怕突然 听到你的消息
想念如果会有声音 不愿那是悲伤的哭泣
事到如今 终于让自己属于 我自己
只剩眼泪 还骗不过自己
突然好想你 你会在哪里 过得快乐或委屈
突然好想你 突然锋利的回忆 突然模糊的眼睛
我们像一首最美丽的歌曲 变成两部悲伤的
为什么你 带我走过最难忘的旅行
然后留下 最痛的纪念品
我们 那么甜那么美那么相信
那么疯那么热烈的曾经
为何我们还是要奔向各自的幸福和遗憾中老去
突然好想你 你会在哪里 过得快乐或委屈
突然好想你 突然锋利的回忆 突然模糊的眼睛
最怕空气突然安静 最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆 突然翻滚绞痛著 不平息
最怕突然 听到你的消息
最怕此生 已经决心自己过 没有你
却又突然 听到你的消息

Looks like everything I like nowadays have something to do with the end of the world somehow, in the figurative sense. For those who watch anime, this is the new opening theme for Code Geass.

世界の終わりで生まれた光　
今風の中

綺麗事だけじゃ生きれない
優しさだけじゃ癒せない

奪われたのは何だ
変わらない世界で
聞こえてきたのは何だ
祝祭の歌

Everything is wild

砕け散った夢を明日の果てに響かせるように
世界の終りで生まれた光
僕ら一つに　
今風の中

何者見返笑えない
寂しさだけじや拘われない

立ち止まったものはなんだ
祖恋果てに
聞こえてきたのは何だ
悲しい息叫び

Everything is wild

砕け散った夢を明日の果てに響かせるように
世界の終りで生まれた光
僕ら一つに　
今風の中

誰も待たせないで
変えれ身だけころに
もう何もかも取れて

everything is wild

あの日見た空をでかいの先へ
ここ乾せるように

世界の始はりすろぞろの朝に
僕ら真っ白に
今風になろぅ

==================
The light that was born at the end of the world
Now is in the wind
I can´t live just by whitewashing
I can´t heal just by kindness

What was stolen?
In this never-changing world
What is it that I hear?
A festival song

Everything is wild

Echoing at tomorrow´s edge are the dreams that are broken and shattered
The light that was born at the end of the world
We will become one
Now in the wind

Someone is looking back he can´t smile
I can´t just wipe away the loneliness

What is that thing standing still?
At the end of this flawed love
What is it that i hear?
A shout with a sad tone

Everything is wild

Echoing at tomorrow´s edge are the dreams that are broken and shattered
The light that was born at the end of the world
We will become one
Now in the wind

Please don´t keep anyone waiting
Change your form just this much
You can take just about everything

Everything is wild

Go to the large beyond in the sky that we saw that day
It´s drying up here

In the world´s beginning, the respective mornings
We are pure white
Now let´s become the wind

Déjà Vu (feat. Joanna Koike)

Where did we meet before, just like this?
I know your smile, your voice, just like that
You talked to me and I smiled right back
I don’t believe in fantasy

Same dress, same smell, reminds me
(Of) something I can’t forget
Same song, same tone in your voice
Tell me this isn’t a dream

Take me far where stars are still asleep
You and me, we’ll live forevermore
I would follow you, my destiny
Won’t you get my feet back on the ground?
I’m gettin’ played by you, déjà vu (woo)

I saw those sparkles in your eyes
Your soothing words make me feel alright
I would be glad to stay in your sight
Let’s fade into this mystery

Same words, “Is this the first time?”
As if I’m stuck in a loop
I’m lost in sweet illusion
Turn me into a sensation

From The World Ends With You

Twister
Lyrics by: SAWA
Vocals by: SAWA

“Brain wave, main wave”
Psycho got a high kick
Collect and select
Show me your best set

“Crystals, blisters”
It’s all over now
Psycho cane
You’re so keen
I need more candy canes

“Cold cake, cold break”
Freak got a high kick
Mr. Twister
Moist with roistering

Stick it up
Take it up
Step aside and see the world
Effect has defects
“Take a bow to the moon (Bow-wow to the moon)”

“Morning rays, Hairspray Queens”
“Get on their way to their nests, the west”
“Honest, they once had a dream”
“Belles of society, in the shells of their unity”
Cornet’n spinet
“The sound flows, follows till they’re home”
Dragged by the power of dreams
That power is yet unknown

Long Dream
Lyrics by: Makiko Noda
ocals by: Makiko Noda

Every day streets are crowded with people
Every night streets are jammed with these noise
“Things are so strange, are they real or a dream”
Where am I now, trapped in this city of illusion

Feel the people, hear the voices
They are reaching out to catch you
Feel the rhythms, hear the noises
You are beating all the visions
Is it angels, is it devils, whispering in my ears
Is it emotions, is it illusions?
I need to be with you

Every day noises are killing these people
Every night noises are waiting for me (but)
“Don’t run away, We’ve got no time left to fear”
“Where are you now, still it’s showing me illusions”

Feel the people, hear the voices
They are reaching out to catch you
Feel the rhythms, hear the noises
You are beating all the visions
“In this long dream, can you find me?”
Want you to, you call my name
“In this hazard, chance of survivial?”
I need to be with you

Feel the people, hear the voices
They are reaching out to catch you
Feel the rhythms, hear the noises
You are beating all the visions
Is it angels, is it devils, whispering in my ears
Is it emotions, is it illusions?
I need to be with you

The World Ends With You is an RPG that is set in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. I have been spending quite some time on this game for a while. I haven’t been addicted to a game so much since Warcraft a long long time ago. I’m not going to write a review for the game. There are a lot of reviews out there already.

The best part of the game is the battle system. You control two characters who are fighting simultaneously against monsters known as “noise”. One character is controlled via the touchscreen using the stylus and the other character is at the upper screen and is controlled by key presses. Two videos of the battle system.

And lastly, I LOVE the soundtrack. It’s a mix of hip hop and trance.

There are of course many other nice features of this game. You can find out more by reading reviews like this. Otherwise, go grab a DS and play it. =)

Deja Vu

Where did we meet before just like this
I know your smile
Your voice just like that
You talk to me and I smile back
I don’t believe in fantasy
Same dress that now reminds me
Something I can’t forget
Same song same tone in your voice
Tell me this isn’t a dream
Take me forward, stars are still asleep
You and me, we live forevermore
I would follow you my destiny
Won’t you get my favorite photograph
I’m getting played by you
