Base Ball Bear Fansite

Alas....My Base Ball Bear fansite.
Sitting here in front of my computer at 1 in the morning feel so right.

Unfortunately, I'm sick of keeping the site away from people; it needs to be loved.
It lacks a lot of content (you can see that the gallery is obviously EMPTY except for one picture; I was testing out lytebox, and it works fine now), but there's stuff in there.

So I present to you....

a link.

Some people like paintbrush-san have already seen it. It's not impressive. I DARE you to click the links. There are still major improvements that need to be done to it, but now that I actually spent time working on it today (3 hours!) I know what to do the next time I jump onto my computer...which will be Friday night....tonight.
Sorry, I'm tired.

Since most of the music I've been putting up here is BBB, doesn't that mean this blog won't die?
Actually...I'm seriously killing this blog.

I don't like the layout, and I don't feel like learning how to make my own layout for this. I'd rather stick to freewebs because I can just put my own code instead of learning how to get around things. It was hard enough for me to deal with Xanga.
And besides, I noticed that in the sea of mp3 rotation blogs, mine isn't exactly that well visited. I'd rather slap the rest of my music on the other side of my freewebs.

So by the time anybody reads this, I will hopefully have my entire site up.
Time for bed. Good night, all.

The death of this blog, perhaps?

Whoa, where have I BEEN?!
Oh yeah, I should tell you....even though no one really reads this blog.

1. My summer job ended on July 20th.
2. I went paintballing on July 21st.
3. I left for Disneyland and LA on July 22nd.
4. I was at Disneyland on the 23rd.
5. I attended the Ellegarden Concert on July 24th.
6. I returned back to my city early morning on July 26th, and stayed at my friend's house for a party.
7. I saw The Simpson's Movie today.

Yeah, just a little busy...
I know that 真夏の条件 (Midsummer Conditions) has been out since the 18th, but it's been a busy summer so far.

And I will not upload it here.
*tries to listen for screams of agony but hears only crickets*

Okay, I'll explain myself.
Since I'm finally having a real summer, I've finally gotten to putting my plans for my BBB fansite onto my computer. Not up on the website YET, but at least on a saved document. I'm still trying to figure out the easiest way to make the website look the way I want it to, and it's taking a while. I've still got SOME work to do (volunteer work; I've been doing it for 5 years and there's no way I'm quitting it) so weekends are out of the question.



But this means that in the next week, I'll put up a link to my fansite.
And it will be adequately accessible.
Hooray!

Midsummer Conditions PV

Hello everyone! I know I'm late uploading this (it's been up on jpopsuki for a while) but I'll upload it for the sake of my sanity.

After listening to the live version of 真夏の条件 for weeks on end, I began to dislike the song. Madness, I know! But today I checked jpopsuki and found that someone uploaded the PV, so I watched it.

Pure....joy.

Did anyone notice how AWESOME the PV is?
If you haven't seen it, download it. I beg you, DOWNLOAD IT.

+ This video matches the feel of the song in every way possible. I thought their other PVs were good until I saw this one. I love how it has a color scheme and they are in the desert. There is also an absurd amount of Yusuke closeups to the points where I started screaming with joy. And of course, for all the Sekine Shiori fans (which I believe are all the guy fans of BBB) there seem to be some shots of her. I'm pretty sure it's her because the girl is wearing the same dress. There are short of just her skirt, then her THIGHS, then her chest. Hmm. Fan service much? (God, I felt like a pervert taking those screenshots. But if you don't watch it carefully, those clips go by really quickly.)

Hands down, I think it is one of the best BBB PVs yet.

I know I've been gone for a while (a LONG while) and I realized that my job isn't as easy as I thought it would be. Now the paycheck seems a little small for all the work I do. Because of that work I come home pretty tired and I STILL haven't updated my website on freewebs. I hope I can start maybe later tonight (as it being that I just woke up from a 2 hour nap) so...yeah. Go coding.

The good thing is that in the end my paycheck goes STRAIGHT to buying BBB-related goods...(Can't wait until July 20th, two days after the release of Manatsu no Jouken to just ORDER THEIR STUFF LIKE CRAZY.)

I shall go back to squealing over Yusuke (and his strange haircut that seems to be morphing into a Bruce Lee style) and also listen to the new Plastic Tree album. Yay for summer releases!

BTW, I fixed my site. The links were a little messed up. The BBB fansite didn't die, it was just renamed so the linking screwed up. But there's still no content.

花ざかり君たちへ CM, BBB News

Hello....
*guilty look*
School ended yesterday, but because I've been busy with preparation for my summer job and, um, other things (Maple Story), I never got to coding my website.

But honestly, I'm going to work on it tonight. As for the random pictures of BBB requested, those will be on my other website if I can manage to code everything the way I want to.

On an unrelated note,...
If you didn't know, I'm not only a huge BBB fan, I'm a HUGE J-drama fan. I download tons of series like crazy and spend late nights watching the shows, sometimes even without subtitles. (It's good practice for my classes at school.)
Of course, I read manga too. So I really love it when a manga series gets turned into a drama. Do you have any idea what series I'm talking about?

花ざかりの君たちへ ("To You In Full Blossom") CM, .avi

Download the video here!
+ Hey, it's Avril Lavigne. The song has NOTHING to do with the commercial, lol. I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh when I hear イケマン・パラダイス(Pretty Boy Paradise). Sorry if you don't care about the series, I just wanted to upload something to indicate I'm still alive. =D

真夏の条件 (まなつのじょうけん) Midsummer Conditions

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I finally tackled two more SAT II's, and I'm actually supposed to be starting finals today. (Why is this school district so slow? Everyone else finished school already.) But anyway, thanks to paintbrushさん, who IMed me when I had a less-than-appealing away message, I downloaded the LIVE BY THE C encore!



It's not the entire video (because it's 35 minutes long), but I cut out...Manatsu no Jouken, the single that will be released in the summer!*insert fangirl moment*
According to CDJapan, the release date is around July 18, which is just the right time because that's right before I get my paycheck.

*evil laughter*

I ripped the performance from the entire video and also ripped an mp3 for those who, like me, want to carry it around and listen to it. I also kind of want to rip outthe little introduction of the band that Koide does, but I have to get to school soon.
Oops, the video is too big. I'll upload it onto divshare but that takes forever. It'll be up when I get back from school.



真夏の条件LIVE, .mp3

Download the mp3!
+ I left in Koide introducing the song because he speaks really weird at lives. At some point he started sounding like an American speaking Japanese. Basically he tells the audience: "We're releasing a single after Dramatic. We don't know the release date, but the song is called MANATASU NO JOUKEN." Flashing lights! The opening is really nostalgic, but I can't quite pinpoint what it reminds me of. It feels like an insert song for a mystery-thriller show! I forgive Koide for messing up on parts because this is the 4 encore they did that night. Poor thing.

"真夏の条件、WHOA WHOA!"

I don't think I'll ever get to uploading the abingdon boys school stuff until I start working on my site again. But the thing is, I'm getting the THIRD job over the summer, so I might be working from 9 am to 10 pm until the end of July....uhh...

I was unable to upload either video because filehosting sites HATE ME.

Plastic Tree

Yeah, I finished downloading the better-quality SPICA PV, so I uploaded it and I want to share it here. (And I realized I also want to upload Makka no Ito...)

スピカ (Spica), .avi

Download Here
+ Hmmm. Plastic Tree has been doing a lot of ballads lately, haven't they? SPICA is an older single; their more recent one is Makka no Ito. The lyrics are really romantic... the title is actually the name of a real star. It's nice to see the band in normal clothes. I'm not a big fan of Ryuutaro in visual kei clothes because he looks a lot better just wearing a suit and no makeup. The best thing about this video is the black and white scheme; Straightener also did a video in black and white, and it gives it a film noir feeling, doesn't it? The one thing that always shows up in Pura's videos is the microphone. I really love that microphone...
Other Screenshots: x.x

+ Th is is an amazing, continuous PV. No cuts, no interruptions. Some people thinks it's boring, but in my opinion, it's a moving video that has the feel of the song. After all, the song is about longing and regret. My idea of life and the rhythm of the song really match the effects. However, I think the video is too dark overall. (It might just be the version I got from Veoh though...) I also have a special on the making of the PV with subtitles, but that's for another day.

Maximum the Hormone!

I need to focus on Japanese homework and study (since the final is on Thursday...).
But I wanted to upload something. *sulk*
Only one thing today, non-BBB related.

恋のメガラバ (Koi no Mega Raba - Love's Mega Lover), .avi

Download here
+ This was the first time I ever heard of Maximum the Hormone. Yeah, I knew about them before Death Note, sheesh. A lot of people know them because of 絶望ビリ and WHAT'S UP PEOPLE?...But there are a lot of other songs they have that are a lot better. Anyway, about this PV. It's funny and crazy. I laughed at the nerdy gangster guy because he's just too cool. The contrast between the pop part of the song and the screamo is nicely shown with the party and behind the scenes with the band singing in the dark with dark-skinned dancers. I really love this video and I'm glad I can share it.

Did anyone notice that MediaFire changed it's layout? Very impressive.
