Take Me Home Yearbook Edition (One Direction)

Couples of days ago, I published a post about the latest album by the boy band One Direction. And it is currently the most viewed post here on my blog. Thank you so much directioners for reading it. To those who haven't read it yet, you can click this link Take Me Home (One Direction Album).

So apparently, this post is mainly a continuation of my post about their album so this'll not take long.

The Take Me Home Yearbook Edition contains all of the songs from the standard version including the twitter trends and  hits Live While We're Young and Little Things plus 4 more songs! Go download on Itunes or buy the yearbook edition album instead of the standard cus although it costs you more money, it has additional 4 songs and contains 24 page picture book with images of the boys from the past year! If you're a die hard directioner, like ever, go add it to your collection and drool over their pics all night long. Or all week long. Month Long. Year Long. Decade Long. Forever Long.

The additional 4 songs are:

She's Not Afraid - a fast, upbeat song where the guys, but mostly Zayn, sang about a girl/s who's/are not afraid of different stuff. Wow, that girl sure is tough. Now girls, when you hear this song, just do all the things the boys were singing and they might fall in love with you, too,  Cause obviously, that girl caught the band's attention. When I heard the intro, it reminds me of Footloose.. I kinda like the song for its meaning and its beat.

Loved You First - Also an upbeat song but not necessarily a song to shake your booty with primarily because of its meaning. The guys' sang their broken heart out and feelings for the girl they want but is now taken by another guy. Sad, but that's life. Even these guys lose girls. You see? (Although they didn't write the song.)

Nobody Compares - Yeah. This song sounds very One Direction-ish. According to metrolyrics when I looked up the lyrics for this song, Liam has no solo part. I don't know tho, I don't know what his voice sounds like. HAHA! I like Harry's part here. Again, about a girl, obviously with no comparison (in their point of view).

Still The One - A song begging for forgiveness... Ahhhh.. A typical song for guys who finally realized they made their greatest mistake letting go the girl of their life.  "I was so stupid for letting you go. But I know you’re still the one. You might have moved on. But girl you should know that I know you're still the one". A very fun song to listen and sway fastly to.

These four tunes are all good and very typical types for being the additional songs for the deluxe edition. The only thing that I noticed about the band's whole album is that their intros, beats, and sounds, for most all of their songs, are the same and very recognizable as One Direction songs. I wish them luck and be better and better from time to time.

Mirai Nikki: Another World (Japanese TV Series)

No one holds our future but us.

Finally, I can legitimately publish a post about this TV series I juts finished watching, Mirai Nikki: Another World, which is also known as Future Diary: Live Action. Not to be confused with Dairy. HAHAHA

To all of you anime lovers out there, or even manga lovers, I know that you all know that this series was loosely based from the manga/anime, Mirai Nikki or Future Diary in English.

If you are such a huge fan of the anime, like me, and are planning to watch this series, I'm telling you now to forget or don't even remember anything about it because this series has its very own unique version that contains a huge amount of differences from the original including its plot/story line/characters/phones, etc. And when I say a lot, I mean, 95%. Do the math. LOL

I started watching this probably a month ago and watched 5 episodes within just 2 days but only yesterday when I resumed watching another 2 episodes then continued watching the rest and finished it just half an hour ago. I got to say that I wasn't that hooked up and got bored with this series during the first few episodes but I got totally attached when I finally saw the 8th episode. It's where the show pumped me up and made me sweat and cried and laughed and get emotional and whatsoever. 

As I said earlier, this has nothing to do a lot about the manga/anime which is probably the reason why I didn't  like it at first but I must understand everything because the Another World on the title is the indication that this is apparently a different show.

Here's the synopsis from wiki.d-addicts.com:

From the bestselling comic series comes an all new science fiction drama. The series, having sold over 4,000,000 copies in comics, is a non-stop romantic suspense about teenagers who obtain a "Future Diary". The diary is a cell phone diary that foretells the future, and those get ahold of it suffers the consequence of having to participate in a "survival game". 

Prior to discovering the future diary, Hoshino Arata was an ordinary college student, without any faith in the coming future. Efforts seemed unrewarding and the future, well, who could change fate? Nonetheless, it is the diary that leads Arata to see tomorrow as a sign of hope. 

"Destruction and Rebirth", "The Ultimate Love". These themes intertwine as Arata learns to deal with the diary and its consequences, and ultimately win the survival game set before him. 

--Fuji TV

I don't want to tell you the story, as I always say in my posts, because it might spoil and ruin the surprises for those who want to watch this series, BUT, I will tell some things about it to hype you all up and allure you to watch it.

Differences between the anime/manga and the series:

• In the anime version, there are 12 future diary owners who fought very damn hard to be the winner and replace Deus Ex Machina as the god of time and space but in this series, there are only 7 diary owners.
• In the anime, Deus Ex Machina is the god of time and space with a power to control everything about it but in the series, Deus is a woman who is the AI (Artificial Intelligence) controlling Olympia, a world for all the patients who is suffering in a coma.
• Characters' names also differ, a lot, but some names still remained, like Yuno and Deus. The series didn't include many characters from the manga/anime as well.
• Yuno is not that harsh of a fighter or killer in the series unlike in the anime. This time, she really just wants to protect Akkun. She is also sweet all the way unlike in the anime where it's like she has a bipolar personality. Sweet and insane.
• There is only one type of diary in the series and it's mainly a phone diary and needs to be a new Chronus Seed Ltd brand of phone but in the anime, there are several types of diaries like, phone, notebooks, blogs, servers, etc.
• The future diaries are only available in Olympia, not in the real world unlike in the anime series which ultimately caused a huge damage including a lot of killings.
• To sum it all up, again, the story differs a lot from the original, hence, Another World.
• This is purely a romantic-science fiction themed series, and for me, not a heck of a thriller which I like the most about the anime. There were no gory scenes and such. 
• In the anime, the player disappeared in a vortex kind of disappearing way when he/she was killed OR when the phone was destroyed while in the series, the player disappeared in a pixelated kind of techie way but only if the phone is destroyed.
• In the anime, when the DEAD END appeared in the diary, a player can change his/her fate by just doing something odd or something that he/she thinks that can change the future but in the series, they can only change their fate by killing another player/destroying the phone and the timer will stop.
• I don't remember a scene in the anime that they let the timer ran out when the dead end appeared but in the series, nothing really happened when they let the time ran out.
• The main protagonists in the anime are only kids, I think they were at middle school, while n the series, the protagonist are currently in college.
• In the series, Akkun and Yuno are already dating but they lost their memories after waking up from a coma but in the anime, Yukki and Yuno only met once during an exam, they barely talk, and they were classmates.
• Akkun and Yukki became gods in both anime and series but in a different way. Watch it! Watch it nowwww!

So, I think these are the things you all need to know between the two although there are a lot of stuff I want to tell you but it'll only spoil you There were also some similarities between the series and the anime and I think it's purely loosely based and only similar in such a small way like the characters of Rui who/which is a program created by Deus in the series and Akise Aru who is created by Deus in the anime but thet both serve as a close friend/lover of the male protagonist. Then, there is the killer who is also a diary owner just like in the anime but they differ a lot when it comes to personalities and job.

I actually didn't like the ending of this series. It's a very sad/happy/sweet/I-don't-know-what-to-feel kind of ending and I wish it just turned out as I wanted to but I'm not the writer or the director of the series so i can't do anything. I also didn't like the ending of the anime because it didn't contain the last volume of the manga but if you read the last volume, you'll be happy to know what happened to the 2 cute little couple.

I like the actors who played the 2 main protagonist characters. Although Akkun's character isn't like Yuki's who is awkward and very very very coward, I began to love Akkun as well. Both of them share the same laziness. I like Akkun's face and Yuno's cuteness! Oh, and I love how fast Yuko can ran in the series. :D

I liked this series but not as much as I LOVE the anime version. I was really hooked up watching the anime and just finished all the 26 episodes in just 2-3 days. That's how I love it. It's very much of a thriller unlike this series which I think is very soft and romantically sweet. But hey, it's still worth a watch.

Take Me Home (One Direction Album)

"If you don’t want to take it slow, and you just want to TAKE ME HOME, baby say, 'yeah.'"

After listening to Christina Aguilera's Album, Lotus, I saw another album and this time, it's also an anticipated album, mostly by girls, Take Me Home, One Direction's second album which is supposedly seen the light of day in your iPods, laptops and other music players on November 12, 2012.

What? The guys are good! Again, I'm not a directioner nor a hater. I'm just a blogger, a person who wants to listen to some available music and I'm really impressed on how this guys make me dance in most of their songs in this said album.

The album contains a huge amount of enjoyable pop-sound, dance tunes, and some ballads and pop-rock-ish songs.

The lyrics are mostly about love and of course, their target audience are mostly probably girls so some may not relate nor happily sing with the songs but I guarantee you that most of the songs are enjoyable to dance and rock out with especially  the fast tuned ones. It's worth playing in clubs too!

Truth be told, I think this is a step up from the song from their previous albums and their voice sounds awesome as well. 

• When I heard Over Again, I feel like I'm listening to Ed Sheeran. Then I looked at the writers of the song and just laughed because he is included as one of the awesome writers of the song! LOL! It doesn't sound very Ed Sheeran-ish like Little Things but there is something like a "this is written by Ed Sheeran sign" glued in the song, just like an indication. I don't know, perhaps the style and stuff. Ugh. I can't believe I can't elaborate it!

• They Don't Know About Us is also simply one of the best songs off the album that reminds me of the songs by boybands from the 90's. I can't explain the heavenly soothing feeling I felt when I heard the song. N*sync? Westlife? Backstreet Boys? I don't know. Nostalgic.

• Last First Kiss also is an awesome tune. I love it that 3 of the boys co-wrote this song. The guitar playing is just nicely played in the background!

• Kiss You is another epic dance anthem off the album! I love it and makes me shake them booty! HAHA! I can see it as another perfect single from this album. It certainly got all the personalities of a perfect single. Groovy and very luring, passionately lure us to buy it if it'll be released as a single and in the radio!

• Summer Love, just a great song to listen when I'm sitting alone. I know. Weird. But it just gives me that feeling and besides, it's like reminiscing a summer fling! :D

• Live While We're Young and Little Things are the first 2 lead singles from the album and mainly two of my favorites! 

Overall, I love the whole album and can't wait to hear the additional songs from the Deluxe Edition and other additional songs! I've got to say it, this album has the potential to top some charts. Every songs in it are all worth listening to but Taylor Swift's Red is still the best 2012 album for me. :) I'm a certified Swiftie/Swifty and I'm not a directioner though I have to admit that I still like their songs.  :) You can feel the emotions, mostly happy ones, in the songs and will make you groove and dance and move and break dance! haha!

Lotus (Christina Aguilera Album)

I am a blank page waiting for you to bring me to life

Prior to the release of Christina Aguilera's  most anticipated album in the spotlight, Lotus, on November 9, 2012, the album has been leaked and fans online are already enjoying downloading and listening, some may be even singing, to her songs, including me. 

I remember my friends and I were singing her songs when we were in elementary and high school, God, I miss those old days. My close friend is a huge fan of X and I think she's even addicted and obsess with her.

Moving on, as I was saying, I shamelessly downloaded the leaked album and at this time of day, I'm currently listening to it and I've got to say that I already have some favorite tracks from it, especially the sad ballad ones.

Christina's voice didn't change for worse, in fact, her voice got more powerful and her songs' lyrics are fiercer and more touching this time. 

The album covers a lot of genres, but mainly dance-pop, ballad, and rock.

Her piano-driven ballad songs are the best for the reason of her voice is fusing with the piano itself, combining epically and creating sounds that are good for our ears; very powerful, dramatically entertaining, and emotionally driving me to tears.

To write and compose such songs included in the album, one must be in the height of his/her emotions and I can feel almost all it. I haven't heard all the songs, that's why I used almost all. Christina had gone through a lot of hurt, sadness, and happiness in the previous years, including her divorce from her ex-husband, and it's unarguably understandable that she can touch us with her words and emotionally-driven powerful belting voice. I'm saying it now, I miss her powerful vocals! That huge high voice inside a small girl's body. God, she is just talented!

Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton, her fellow judge/mentors from The Voice, are also featured on the album. I wonder why Adam Levine isn't on this? UGH.

I like the songs Army of Me, Let There Be Love, Sing For Me, Cease Fire, Light Up The Sky, Empty Words, Just A Fool and my most favorite song off the album, Blank Page. Blank Page is just so emotionally and sadly written that I can even feel all the sad emotions flowing endlessly in the whole song itself. Piano + Christina's voice = Epic.

Isn't Christina look OH SO HOT on those pics? *Drool*

Little Things Official Music Video by One Direction

Woah!!! The long wait is over, girls and guys directioners, because the much awaited official music video for the 2nd lead single of the boyband One Direction, Little Things, is here. We-eeehhh (to the tune of Taylor's we).

At last, after different snippets, it's now here. So, I am correct, 1 am in the Philippines, the video will be released, meaning 5 pm in UK. LOL. Honestly, I wasn't sure before but I computed it and finally got it right. I hate you, TIME ZONES. :)

I am actually confused because there is also another video in youtube for this song, and I actually thought it's the official one. The video contains scenes that are recorded during the boys' concert, fan shows, autograph signing, etc. 

UPDATE: Now I understand.. There are 2 video versions made for the song and those are found below :) The version 2 is a fan made video uploaded by OneDireotionVEVO. But som say it was originally made by myplasticfeeling.

Btw, about the vid, it's simplicity makes it perfect. The black and white hue as its effect makes it more serious and added a dash of "let's look back at our past" thing, just like reminiscing, and it's pretty  convincing and well-made for such a simple and sad song.

The boys sang their hearts out in the video and I've got to say I can feel their silliness and seriousness while singing and shooting in the studio. What makes it more moving is they are just being themselves, doing what friends do when hanging out, chilling, and just like doing a singing session.

I don't know. I'm stunned after watching this vid. 

The song is about an ex-girlfriend, right? the video does look like about it but not that much. It's as if the boys are telling us and wanting their fans to know all the pretty little things and moments that they cherish as friends even though that's not what they are saying literally.

All I know is that if you are a girl, and one of the member of 1D sings this in front of you, I know you'll die. Firstly, because of sweetness. Then his voice. His looks. The message of the song even if you don't have freckles. The urge of wanting to scream but you can't and just keeping freaking out inside your mind. And lastly, because who doesn't want that to happen to them? I mean, come on. Be real. :)

Oh. And, I miss Liam's old hairstyle. The one that Zac Efron and Bieber used to have and I don't like him semi-bald. Really. How many times do you really have to change your hair style? :/ I like Harry's eyes in this vid. They are so crystal clear just like the eyes of a kitty. Zayn's smile is pretty cute here too. 

So I don't have a copy of their last album despite of liking some songs in it but this time, I think I'm gonna busy myself listening for their songs included in this new album that will be released this month! Take Me Home.

Over all, I like the vid. Very simple and very perfect for a very simple and perfect song written by a very perfect guy, Ed Sheeran. Thanks for existing, mate! This is now my most fave One Direction video so far, surpassing Live Like We're Young. Simplicity is beauty.

Chapman Square (Lawson Album) Deluxe Edition

Love is taking over me.

I'm currently listening to Lawson's latest album, "Chapman Square", and I tell you I'm loving every song in it.

To tell you all the truth, I only knew about this band last September thankfully because the video for one of their singles from the album was listed or included in the Myx Hit Charts and MIT 20, Taking Over Me, which I believe is my most favorite song from this amazingly well-done album!

I can't say many things about this album cause I haven't heard all the songs from it yet but I will listen to it laturrrr.. At the moment, I already listened 6 songs from this album. I got a copy of this album, Deluxe Edition, last October 25 but this was the only time I listened to it. LOL! Forgive me for being addicted to Taylor Swift's Red. I've been listening to it everyday.

The reason why I love this album so much is mainly because of its songs about heartbreaks and love. Oh, and let's not forget about the beautiful voice of their front man, Andy Brown. Damn, this band is consisting of guys like gods of talents. I effinly love his soulful and hot voice especially when he's like singing at the top of his lungs. It's just very moving. What can I say? Songs with so much passion and soul in its lyrics + a beautiful voice singing it = perfection in our ears and very enjoyable to hear despite of it being rock-ish and radio-friendly. 

The reason for Chapman Square being the title for their album is because it is the place where they started to play together as a band, thus, the name of the place is very important to them.

Again, I can't say more about the album but I'll enjoy listening to it from now on and besides, this ain't a site for reviews and reception, this is just my entertainment diary. Ever since I heard Taking Over Me, I began to be a fan of this band. Standing in the Dark and Gone are also among the best from the album. :)
