From shadowandy’s entry, I too get my fair share of FIRs.
The kind I encounter can be easily found in most forums, easily identified by their style of writing. A habit of theirs is not bothering to read other people’s text properly! [>(] And to make things worse, they misinterpret other people’s words. I’m gonna stop talking about this before anger takes over and I whack everyone in sight with this keyboard I’m mashing.
A month or 2 ago, I had dinner with a friend at Yoshinoya at Bugis Junction. They were playing some nice JPop songs at that time. I went to check out the counter and saw a picture of the album that they’re playing. Kokia was the singer.
Recently, one of her albums were available on the net. I downloaded a copy. And listened. It was good. Very good. Like Kotoko’s but with more optimism in most of her songs. As a matter of fact, I found most of Kotoko’s songs sad. But I still like her singing too. Like I said, I’m impressed with singers who write their own lyrics and music, which is what Kokia does. Or at least that’s what I found out on the net. I don’t know the words to describe how good Kokia is, but it’s good enough to make me add her albums into my shopping list. [XD]
Now, who said MP3s were evil? If the singer/band/whatever is really good, I WILL buy their CDs even though it means skipping a week of lunch.
With the launch of vPostJapan, I may consider buying CDs from Japan that can’t be fucking-found in Singapore~~~
MP3s are indeed evil! They take up harddisk space on my system! hahaha.
