My brother asked me to come up with the romaji lyrics to this so I’m posting it here so that my hard work doesn’t also go to waste! Check out the song, it’s very cool and chill, too! This was a good way to review and also learn new words. I might do this more […]
One of my favorite Jpop groups is a pop rock/hip-hop vocal group called GReeeeN. I first heard of them from the Jdrama “Rookies” where they sang the soundtrack entitled Kiseki (translates to Miracle in English). If you look up the English translation of the lyrics, you will find that the song is perfect for a wedding vow. I […]
Back in high school (e.g., almost 20 years ago), it was very difficult to get access to Japanese music in the Philippines. I learned how to download music through mIRC and waited an entire night to download just 1 to 2 songs. But I was patient. In a year, I got to know JPOP artists […]

The past couple of months, I’ve had a hard time sleeping at night because my brain seems to be too active. […]
I am grateful for the Hunter X Hunter 2011 remake. But, what really made Hunter X Hunter special to me back then were the songs that played during the start and at the end of each episode. I even printed out lyrics and memorized them by heart. So, for today’s ThrowBack Thursday – here are […]
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV7gYf2RkrQ] The song that really got me hooked to JPOP back in 2002. Yes, I’ve heard Saigo no Iiwake and Sweet Soul Revue when I was 7 years old, but that was passing. I listened to a lot of Anime music, but that was because they were part of the anime experience. The first time […]
