Solo

Not really the still missing photo post from 30 April. Just my favourite picture today. :-)

( The Scottish electoral landscape, Election 2011. )

Am I getting this right? DVD cameras at You&Jin? Has anybody else seen this - preferably somebody whose Japanese is better than mine? I'm picking stuff up on twitter and don't know what to make of it. :-/

I hope it's true and I'm not just an idiot.

So they weren't the solos. MWAAAHAHAHA! Okay, we had fun. *g*

But tsuyaka has the final released track list now. And OMG isn't this So. Much. Better.

care (Akanishi Jin)
1582 (Kamenashi Kazuya)
WIND (Taguchi Junnosuke)
PIERROT (Tanaka Koki)
Hana no Mau Machi (Ueda Tatsuya) (The town of dancing flowers)
WHITE WORLD (Nakamaru Yuichi)

Care. CARE! Of which there live not one but two rips on my mp3 player (Utawara and Dream Boys). I thought it wasn't going to happen, not now, not so late, not when he seems to be going in such a different stylistic direction. (OMG please don't let this be Care - the Hip-Hop version with Hat.)

( For those who'd like to know and don't: this is Care. )

As for Kame's solo: interesting. If any of the previous rumours can still be counted on and he's doing something 'traditional'... could this be about Toyotomi Hideyoshi? Of course, given the bizarre titles of his other solos (not counting Kizuna) and the bizarre and rather unrelated stuff that went with them, maybe it's just some random number of which the pronunciation sounds like something else entirely, like those phone book puns.

Junno. Wind, huh? Given how many people had him down for Water Dance, I guess it fits that he's doing something vaguely elemental.

Pierrot sounds ... very fitting for JOKER. Yep, good one.

And Ueda's sounds so Ueda-like. Ai no Hana, the sequel. But that's a good thing because I liked Ai no Hana.

But really? REALLY? The thing that will keep me squeeing all day as I sit pretending to listen to presentations about teaching sustainable development in Higher Education is... CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
