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.

I can't resist uploading stuff still.

Something bad happened, and something good happened.
Well, I took my APUSH test today. Best 5 hours a person can spend in a high school gym, yessiree.
But alas! I turned on my Bittorrent after a week of no activity and SOMEBODY SEEDED THE GIRLFRIEND PV. (Thank you, person in Canada, whoever you are.)
So here I am celebrating by uploading it. I will also upload the (high quality) PV for Dramatic and the PV rip. (Less than a week until the single is out!)
Enjoy!

+ This was the second Base Ball Bear PV I ever watched. The cinematography is just...amazing. I want to film something like this. I hope I can understand the lyrics soon. I plan to translate it for my BBB fansite (not yet completed) as soon as my wonderful friend Rick uses his mighty credit card to purchase a couple of CDs and magazines for me. I can't pick up packages at home so I'm leaving it up to him. I won't get any of that stuff until mis summer though....gah...ANYWAY. Back the PV. There are some very nice Koide closeups (as always) and nice Shiori ones. Horinouchi's glasses...I want them. I don't want to take a screencap of Yuasa...his hair is long in this one, it's scary. I'm scared.

However, I have translated ドラマチック already. Muahahaha! Look at my pwnage. But since this is just from the PV rip, please don't hate me. Pleeeeease don't.

+ I've said all I need to say. Oh wait. No I haven't. The song is absolutely amazing after I've listened to it 145 times in a row and memorized it. The PV has a very surreal feel to it, doesn't it? The colors are a lot brighter compared to the other PVs (no duh, the computerized base ball field)....Okay, I'm done.

I'm thinking of ripping out the opening sequence from Ookiku Furikabutte, but I dunno. I'm too tired. I have one more AP to go.



Yes! Passionate! I love you, Koide! XD
Okay, the end! Time to study!

EDIT: Badly translated lyrics were once in this entry. But fear not, they were burnt to a crisp and nicer, better translations were moved to a later date. Go look at them.

抱きしめたい PV rip and related news

PV rip - 抱きしめたい

I was bored.
This is just here because I want to send it to my friend, I finally figured out how to rip from PVs, and I'm too impatient to wait until April 4th for the single release. :D
Not much to say. I said all I wanted to say about the song (and especially the PV) in my previous post.
Image from the official Base Ball Bear site~

The single will be released on April 4th with two tracks:
1. 抱きしめたい
2. 彼氏彼女の関係（新しい関係 ver.)

Sheesh, while I'm at it, download the ORIGINAL VERSION of 彼氏彼女の関係 !!! (trans. Boy and Girl Relationships / Kareshi Kanojo no Kan'kei)
I heard a preview of the "new" version and it sounded fantastic. It's got the cool echo-y thing (You know, the wah-wah-wah...oh whatever. I like that stuff.) going on with a techno-ish beat. It's like the electronica version :) Besides, I love the original and I'm glad their remaking it. Whee~

And soon after (barely a month!) another single called ドラマチック (Dramatic) will be released, with the into song for the anime series 大きく振りかぶって (Ookiku Furikabutte). (I have no idea what this anime is, but I must start downloading it.)

(End Base Ball Bear rant)
(Begin personal rant)
Spring break has started.
With the upcoming release of two BBB singles in month and a half, I'm planning to beg my mother to let me order them AND their album C.
"C" has a fold out cover.
This is getting out of hand, but I love them so much~
I still have to use the money from the job I HOPE I got to pay back my mom and treat a couple of friends to food.
So HA I am supporting the band. I don't completely freeload. I want them to continue making more music for me to waste money on~
(end personal rant)

Next Update: Let's see...next Wednesday! THAT'S RIGHT! THE DAY THE SINGLE COMES OUT! If I can format the BaseBallBear no BaseBallVariety (dot com!) to AVI or WMV, I'll upload it.
I've become awfully focused on Base Ball Bear, haven't I....
