I didn't think it would arrive today but it did! My 5566 CD+VCD! Right now I'm feeling kinda stupid for not getting the DVD version because while I do know how to rip a DVD, I have no idea about a VCD! Plus, I'm betting the quality on the DVD would have been better as well... It really was only a dollar more so I should have just said screw it and bought that version instead.

But it doesn't matter all that much now. I mean I had wanted the songs most of all so that's the good thing. It really is a good album! And really, 同一個世界 is a wonderful song! The MV for it is like OMG, it's so good! And of course, I've already fangirled over the signing in the 好久不見 MV. Watching it again, it really was wonderful! Right now I'm trying to get through all the songs because I hadn't had a chance to listen to them all yet.

But what I've heard, they're all wonderful!!! Well, I'm not all too fond of 偷心Yes I love You or 寶貝快睡 all that much (the latter song because the MV totally soured it all for me with all the slowness and the babies... *makes a face* Not all too fond of children...) but there are a few gems that I hadn't heard before like 世界最美的風景 and 回到我身邊-山塔露琪亞...

Now for Diana, because I know she likes 5566 too! The ripped 好久不見 album in 320 kbps!

http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3BAX0L1WZRYDN0LPS0OSVAJ9AY

The tracklist is as follows:

01. 好久不見 (Long Time No See)
02. 偷心Yes I love You
03. Crying in the Rain
04. 回到我身邊-山塔露琪亞 (Please Come Back, Santa Lucia)
05. 一起冒險 (Adventure)
06. 同一個世界 (One World, One Dream)
07. 白色花漾 (White Floweriness)
08. 追趕跑跳碰 (Chasing, Rushing, Running, Jumping, Crashing)
09. 世界最美的風景 (The World's Most Beautiful View)
10. 寶貝快睡 (Sleep Well, My Baby)

I wil try to figure out a way to rip the MVs because they are just way too cool (with the exception of 寶貝快睡 because that's just basically babies and 5566).

The 同一個世界 is really weird. But at the very same time, very cool. I swear, it's like partly an advertisement for the Summer Olympics (the Olympic rings, the parallel bars, hurdles and other track and field activities all featured in the MV). The other MVs were of 好久不見 and Crying in the Rain. The Crying in the Rain MV -- my god, if that doesn't just make you love Tony so much more!!! They all do pain so well, but when Tony falls to his knees with his head bent -- KYA!!! Such a fangirly moment for me! I am seriously adoring this album and it's MVs. It just makes you love 5566 so much more!

Right now I just want to go back and rewatch My MVP Valentine again and see all the great Prince moments. I swear, that drama totally made me love Tony and 5566 and now I can't get them out of my head. They're all so wonderful. And with Zax, how could you forget his wonderful voice! My god, that boy has talent! I would listen to him sing forever! And with Tony's voice, I think they have the perfect balance!

What I love most about this album is the way they've incorporated different sounds form around the world. 好久不見 has a definite Irish sound to it, while 同一個世界 and 白色花漾 have some traditional Chinese sounds to them. Crying in the Rain is actually a cover of an A-ha song, while 回到我身邊-山塔露琪亞 samples an opera (I feel like I should recognize it because the tune is very familiar but I'm hopeless when it comes to stuff like that) and 一起冒險 has the sounds of Indian music. Not only that, but 追趕跑跳碰 has the sounds of old American swing music! It's really a nice mix of a sounds for this new album and I'm actually happy to see that it worked in the end. :)

Okay, right now I have to go and write my monologue for Japanese... :\ I don't want to do it at all but unfortunately, I promised Park-san (it's really sad because I really don't know her first name because all we've ever all called each other is by our last names in class) that I would so I have to. And tomorrow is the last soup kitchen -- of which I'm infinitely glad to be finished of.

I don't think anyone's gonna go but me, so it'll be a bit sad... :( But it's over and I won't have to do it ever again because there's no way in hell I'm going to run for this position again! Waking up so early on a Sunday -- what was I thinking??? I'm just glad that it's over. :)

edit x1: Diana-chan is hiding from me... I tried calling her but I got forwarded immediately to the voice messaging center...twice, which means she saw that it was me calling and immediately click "ignore."

T_T

Diana-chan doesn't want to talk to me...? :(

edit x2: I'm such an idiot!!! The name of the opera that actually wasn't really an opera but just a song in Italian, and apparently a very famous Italian song at that, was "Santa Lucia" which was in the name of the track! *head hits desk* I'm an idiot, an absolutely idiot! Anyway, yeah, the song they sampled in track 4 was "Santa Lucia."

How very odd... I tried clicking the link it brought me to the right place and I was even able to start the download... I guess, try again? If it doesn't work, I'll reupload it.

I'm enjoying your selections though.

You have two Jay's...one is Jay Chou and Jay Chow. Are they the same person?

Yeah, they're the same person. At least I they should be.

Yay! I'm glad it works and I didn't upload. I hope you enjoy their sound as well but their earlier songs were really boybandish so I don't know...
