ドラマチック Live + BBVARIETY 4

I just got back from my trip. Taking care of the kids was more exhausting than the 2 hour hike. Sure, they whined about how tired they were after taking the hike, but I heard the boys were up until 12 am screaming and running around and going crazy. Thank goodness I'm not a boy. I slept in the girls' dorm and they were quiet at around 11, but the bed was so uncomfortable that I barely slept. Then I spent all morning rolling up a record amount of sleeping bags, aaargh. (My arms!) If you can't tell, I'm very grumpy.

Meanwhile, BBB continues to promote their song by performing it live on Music Japan. I cut out their little live and uploaded it. I think that if I still have energy tonight that I'll upload abingdon boys school's performance too. Maybe their PV too, if I have energy tomorrow night.

+ The clip starts out with an introduction of the band. The translation is basically as follows: "3 guys and 1 girl make up Base Ball Bear. They are all alumni from the same high school. They formed together for a cultural festival." (My translation sounds so boring...) Then the band introduces themselves, and Koide says that the song has a "dramatic" feeling (hence, the name), and asks everyone to listen to it. Koide sucks at the beginning but it gets better toward the end. I love how the camera looks at each member. Whenever it focuses on Horinouchi, it's shaking, so the its kind of intense at that point. The way Koide says "atsuku narebaii" is hard to describe. I would probably call it "omgwowahhh". *fangirls* There isn't much lost in quality because I found another program, but you still notice it in most parts. It might be just me, but it lags a little.
(Notice Horinouchi is holding up his hand behind Shiori. He wiggles it when everyone talks, lol.)

It's uploaded on DivShare because it's too big for MediaFire. I'm going to use DivShare and upload Electric Summer too, because that's too big for MediaFire also. But I won't upload Electric Summer until the end of the week.
...PINK SHIRT!

I forgot to upload the last installment of Base Ball Bear's Base Ball Variety. I guess I was so excited over the single release, ne? Oh well, here it is!

Summary:

最終話の第４話は
「堀之内大介が大人のあそびー」の巻。
今はまっていることは何と・・・。
・

・
・
アディオス！！！！！！

Summary:

The final title for the fourth episode is "Daisuke Horinouchi does adult's play".
The challenge this time is....
....Adios!!!!!

Comments:
He's so psycho. I love him in a suit. He looks good in a suit. Horinouchi may not be as attractive as Koide, but he's more hyper. I love how they make him go into a bar when he really acts like a little kid. (I mean, hello, he plays DARTS and everytime he throws one, he says "Base....Ball...BEAR!") He also kept questioning the bartender if he knew about BBB. And the best thing ever:

He ordered strawberry milk at the bar.

I would love to have Horinouchi as my big brother. He's so insanely childlike. If he really were my big brother, he'd probably bring me to an amusement park and we'd ride roller coasters all day long. =]

NEXT POST will not be related to BBB. Why? Because the title of this blog is MUSIC PARADISE, not just BASE BALL BEAR PARADISE. I'll probably upload a bunch of abingdon boys school stuff.

If the whole band wore suits, that would be hot.
I want strawberry milk too.

Official Lyrics and ANIME OPENING

Dang, I feel so non-Asian after eating at Dora's house...
*coughs* Anyway, since the official lyrics came out for ドラマチック, I'm gonna REALLY translate it. Well, I did already. I just didn't go online and post it up, sorry. It makes a lot more sense now that there aren't words that my brain makes up when I hear Koide's funny Engrish or him fading "aru" in the the music really softly.
Onward with the lyrics! Fangasm, go! Gosh, that'd be a great pokemon.
Don't trust my translations at the end, I was going crazy because I brought up my GPA again. All my hard work (sleeping in class, sleeping on my homework, sleeping on the bus) finally paid off!

Oh, by the way, if you haven't seen the anime opening yet, I got around to cutting it.

おおきく振りかぶって OP - ドラマチック, .avi

Download here, it's a small file (31.77mb).
+ I didn't get the one with the translation because those who translated the song DID IT BADLY. OH SO BADLY. And excuse the way I cut the file, you see clips from one part of the opening game they show at first and at the end it's the title screen. It's a trial application, what can I say?I found a better application and cut it exactly. Yay! I think it's a good anime, but the main character (Mihashi) seems a bit dull so far. I'm sure he'll develop into a confident person, but for now he's jittery, nervous, and cries a whole lot. The better character is Abe, the catcher. He's cute and he knows what he's doing. Yes, I am watching the anime. It's not just because BBB sang the OP...I mean....yeah, that's the only reason I wanted to watch it. BUT IT'S A GOOD ANIME! XD Oh, there's a little loss of quality in the video, but that's because I had to split it twice to get the actual episode out...so it was compressed three times. Of course it lost quality.

I got a weird idea in my head to fansub the opening and all Base Ball Bear PVs. I'm learning how to hardsub, so maybe I will. It'll be hard because I'm very impatient but oh well. Oh, and it'll all be done in the summer. I can't afford to do it now, no WAY.

Please excuse any weird comments I've made in the past few days, I blame APs. I probably won't get up my fansite as soon as I want to because AP teachers, now with no purpose, have decided to smack projects onto their students. Of course, I get two projects slapped onto my schedule, both due on the same day. HOORAY!

ドラマチック

永遠（とわ）に続きをうで　一瞬のワンサマー
あぁ、熱くなれるだけ　熱くなりたい

Ah, BOY MEETS GIRL OR BOY MEETS YUME

突然の強い雨　目が醒まされていくようで
くずれる髪形　ぶつかる、人も避けず　走り抜けていく
ゆずれないものがある

English:

Even though I've found the things I can't convey
When I realized it, I turned my eyes away
Ah, boy meets girl or boy meets (a) dream
Closed off, the door will open

Hey, now summer starts

It's dramatic, it might not stop; I can't imagine wanting it to stop
Dazzling, it's the summer when I look for the flashback with only a smile
It seems like this will continue for eternity, this short-lived one summer
Ah, it can only become hot
I want it to become hot

Ah, boy meets girl or boy meets (a) dream
Someday you'll probably remember about this year's summer

It's dramatic, it might not stop; I can't imagine wanting it to stop
Now, the scenery with you and me; only that is summer, right?
It seems like this will continue for eternity, this short-lived one summer
Ah, it can only become hot
I want it to become hot

It's like the sudden strong rain will awaken your eyes
A crumbling hairstyle, the person who strikes will also avoid it, get up and run
There are things I can't convey

It's dramatic, it might not stop; I can't imagine wanting it to stop
It's the summer when I laught about the flashback with a restless "thank you"
Time might not stop ticking, the tears won't stop
Now, the scenery with me and you will change into memories
We may meet again, this one drama
Then, it can only become hot
It should just become hot.

Done!
Hahaha~ I yelled at my friend in school today. Both he and I printed out the lyrics and we were discussing them in class. I frantically begged him not to translate it. But hey, I made him listen to the song, and now he's addicted. *evil laughter* SPREAD THE BASE BALL BEAR HAPPINESS!

APs are over, let's celebrate with...

....and now that they are over, ドラマチック has been released.
Actually, the release date is MAY 16, but because the earth is round, Japan has already started May 16, which means that we here in America (or at least me) gets a May 16 release on May 15.
Woohoo, go Nipponsei uploaders, go anikei.com!
I uploaded each song individually and then the whole single because I am very considerate of those who have dial-up. I feel your pain, waiting 30 minutes for each song...and just because that's how I'm going to share it on my website, once I actually put in content.

「ドラマチック」 single, .mp3

Download the entire .zip file, includes scan and Nipponsei credits.
1. ドラマチック (Dramatic)
+ I've said what I need to say about this, right? The lyrics are in my previous entry. I will revise the lyrics as soon as I can, because I can now see the errors I made
2. 透明２６時 (Transparent 26 o'clock)
+ I take back what I said about this song being so-so. It's fantastic, and Koide's voice is so supremely sexy in this song. I cannot handle this.
3. 夕方ジェネレーション[新しい夕方ver.] (Evening Generation, new Evening version; also a play on "You've got a Generation")
+ I'm pretty sure they've messed with this song the most, but I'm not sure right now. I think this version is twenty times better than the previous mixes, and that's because Koide's voice is SO CLEAR AND SEXY AND RIGHT THERE. (Excuse the fangasming.) But seriously, he sounds amazing, and the fun (you gotta) in the background made me laugh. That's definitely not Koide, but seriously....it's good. The instrumentals got a lot better, and sound clearer. Going major is the best thing to happen to BBB and to me, seriously.

Okay, I'm going to go back in a corner, do my PreCal take-home test, and cry because I don't have the single. Yeah...okay....I really need it to be July 20th already so I can get my paycheck.

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!

GIRL FRIEND PV, .avi

Download it here
+ 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.

Fansite?

Yes yes yes! I will be making a fansite for Base Ball Bear. I don't see any english ones so I totally call dibs. I've made the layout and everything. Please look forward to seeing it. I won't give the link yet because it's so incomplete. I can't make all the codes and links yet because I have things to study for, but in a frenzy tonight, I made several layouts in one sitting. =_=''

So if you want lots of BBB information and downloads, go to that site once I put it up. Please! :D
If I can do this, it'll probably be up and online by May 20th.

Dramatic!

Yes, this is a post about the PV.
Yes, you can download it.
But it's low quality because I ripped it off the site; sadly, I am not in Japan so I can't rip the PV off the TV in high quality. I so would if I could :D But alas, no.
I wish I could be called the foremost source for BBB stuff. But I'm not, lol. I will be one day. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't support the band. D< 「ドラマチック」 PV, .avi and really really bad quality. No Screencap as of now; instead, here's the youtube version I uploaded:

>Download「ドラマチック」(Dramatic) here!
+ I uploaded it in a hurry. Therefore, it's low quality, extremely small, etc. But instead here's a BBB picture I cropped out from their site, whee~. About the song...okay, I'll try not to be biased. OMG I LOVE IT. XD I started laughing at the line あつくなりたい (I want to become hot). Gosh, Koide wants to do a lot of things. Hint hint.

I also ripped out the mp3 from the PV, so forgive me for the bad quality. If you want to listen to it, go ahead and download it. But that's only if you can't wait for thw two weeks left until its release (just like me).
ドラマチック - .mp3

Download it here!
+ Isn't the cover adorable? I love the little character they use now. The song, as I said, is in the worst quality you could ever get (it warbles a little, and the intro sounds are louder than the song itself) but hey, it's the song. Enjoy. I love the lines

ドラマチック、チック

and

あつくなるだけ
あつくなりたい

and at the end of the song

あつくなればいい

=]



Now, about the new single. I listened to the samples for the other songs and this is what I have to say:
1. ドラマシック - I think it's amazing, of course. Not quite as remarkable as Electric Summer or Stand By Me, which were REALLY amazing, but it's still good. It's something that you'll listen to every once in a while and sing to. (Of course, I'm on a mission to memorize it soon, but with APs, I doubt I'll translate it until the end of May.) The one good thing that Sekine-fans might be glad about is the prominent sound of the bass at the beginning and pretty much throughout the song. Lately the bass has been overpowered by the guitar, but now...yes...it's so good...yay for bass!
2. Ican'treadthekanjithereforeIfailatlife (something 明２６時) - It's a slow song. I tend to not like BBB's slow songs as much (I don't really listen to Girl Of Arms for that reason) but it's okay. I cannot say anything really bad about BBB songs. I'm so damned biased...
3. 夕方ジェネレーション[新しい夕方ver.] - The clip doesn't really indicate much about the song, but Koide sounds a lot more mature compared to the original version. Oh, secret links. Hint...hint....


And I'll have the scans up sometime tomorrow. It's not complete, my friend forgot to scan the pages where they are all jumping (except for Koide).
I said I would sleep at 11:30 but then I found the PV, darn! Oh well.
And Yuasa's birthday passed on April 16 =_='' I'm a bad child for not knowing that.
He's 23, he says so on BBB's Base Ball Variety, 3 episode.

Koide: How old are you now?
Yuasa: Twenty...three. *hold up two and a three, then switches arms.*
Koide: No no, that's 32. You're 32?
Yuasa: No...23. *switches arms back*

Ahh! お誕生日おめでとう、遅くなってすみません。

New Base Ball Bear Variety

I should actually be doing homework, considering that I stayed at a concert on a Monday night until 11:00 pm. I'm posting this at 3:20 am...uh oh, bad sign. I haven't finished any homework yet. I'm a horrible student.New Base Ball Bear Variety up, I couldn't resist uploading it. No screencaps, but it's the funniest one yet. I laughed as I outlined my chapters. I plan to put up screencaps when I get back from school. :D

It's called the miracle of getting 6 hours of sleep instead of 2 hours. Actually, I'm more tired than before, but whatever. I'm going to be early regardless of homework.

Download here!

Screenshots:

Let's swim! Yuasa-kun! (He's the dancing guitarist, yayyyy!)


1. First, take a shower.


2. Then stretch and warmup.


Some funky hand thing he started doing, lol.


"I'm gonna swim on my back."


"...Failure...."


Oh no, it's KARAOKE XD
He's singing to ELECTRIC SUMMER. You cannot resist laughing when watching him sing along in the corner. :D


*shiiiing!* :D


*shiiiing! again* I was dying of laughter at this point.


"Everyone too, swim together with me~"


The usual intro. But hey, a new position and different clothes. Once again, Horinouchi's shirt is awesome, Sekine is dressed up all girly, Yuasa is wearing the stuff he normally does again...and Koide is in all his sexy shirt-and-tie glory.


I forgot what they were talking about...I think they were talking about the new single (again) and they asked Yuasa about something, and he said, "You guys match." No idea why. I'm too lazy to go back and check.


THE NEW SINGLE HAS A SUPER CUTE COVER. I want it. I still haven't bought the other single nor the album. But when I have money...ohohoho. *evil grin* I've got the job, but I still have a lot to buy, and I won't get the paycheck until wayyyy later.


"Koide."


"Sekine de~su."


"Yuasa desu."


"Horinouchi deshitaaaa!" Yes, this shirt is almost as cool as the CRASH ZAP shirt from the PV of 抱きしめたい.


"Bye~" At some point Koide started talking about how people should watch the internet show again. He started by saying "パーソナルコンピュータ)...パソコン." (Personal computer...no, persocon (short way of saying PC in Japanese)." He says it funny, lol.

Summary:
第３話は、「およげ！ゆあさくん」の巻。
元水泳部のG.湯浅将平が今、はまっていることは
モチロン"飲酒"
そして、体に溜まりに溜まった酒を抜くための・・・
"水泳"です

湯浅将平による絶妙な歌声と共にお楽しみ下さい。

Translation:
The third episode is "Let's swim! Yuasa-kun".
Yuasa Shouhei (guitar), a former swimmer, is now taking on the challenge of, of course, "drinking sake".
And also, for the sake of extracting the sake that the body collects..."swimming".

Please enjoy the exquisite singing voice coming from Yuasa Shohei.




...Dear Lord, I can sing better then Yuasa-kun. That's quite frightening.
And I am so SCREWED. I will be dead when I wake up for school. Yet I say it was all worth it for the Regina Spektor concert....I got a shirt, two buttons, a poster, and PURE BLISS.
...I need to upload more stuff that is non-BBB related. Maybe when school ends, yeah.
...Recording online streams is a pain in the freaking ass. I cannot stand the programs. I finally found a good one but it only lasts 30 days.
