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. =)

Had a drink just now and even though I am far from being drunk, I can feel the drowsiness seeping in. I need to hit the sack soon.

Mr Wong, Miss Lim and gang gave me a wallet for my birthday and the design turned out to be an imitation/parody of the Intel logo. Real nerdy. Thanks a lot guys!

And it just so happens that the soundtrack for a game I ordered arrived today. Another coincidence. I will probably write more about the game next time.

On a totally unrelated note, a good read about National Service of which we are all compelled to serve.

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
