RENT

I have heard about this movie(opera) for a while. But there isn't an opportunity for me to realize it. I didn't see RENT until last Tuseday. Also,I was touched beyond words and songs.

Rent is a rock musical. The musical tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Alphabet City in the thriving days of the Bohemian East Village, under the shadow of AIDS.it's an emotionally stirring story. The show's songs incorporate dance, pop, salsa, R&B and rock 'n roll.

Seasons of Love is the most celebrated song from Rent,actually I do love it very much.It's a string of wonderful melody to me.

Seasons of Love

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure in a year?
In daylight-in sunsets
In midnight-in cups of coffee
In inches-in miles
In laughter-in strife
In five hundred twenty-five thoudand six hundred minutes
How do you measure A year of life?
How about love?
Measure in love..... Season of love.....

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure the live of a woman or a man?
In truth that she learned or in times that he cried
In bridges he burned or the way that she died

It's time now to sing out
Though the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friend
Remember the love measure in love Seasons of love....
In diapers-report cards
In sports wheel-in speeding tickets
In contracts-dollars
In funerals-in births
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you figure a last year on earth?
Remember the love.....Seasons of love....

I think that I will remember LOVE and this moving song forever : ]
There is no future and past.But we should live this precious moment!In other words,"NO DAY BUT TODAY!" Love is actually all around us.That's why we can overcome obstacles with our willpower.

Amélie is a 2001 French film directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and starring Audrey Tautou. Its original French title is Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain ("The Fabulous Life of Amélie Poulain"; poulain is French for foal). Written by Jeunet with Guillaume Laurant, the film is a whimsical and somewhat idealised depiction of contemporary Parisian life, set in Montmartre. It tells the story of a painfully shy waitress who decides to change the lives of those around her for the better, while struggling with her own isolation.

"Amelie" is a stunning film that is rich with imagination.It's impressed me about its special style. Amelie is a young waitress living in Paris.She never received much physical attention from her parents. Because her parents thought she had a heart defect.She was homeschooled and never had friends.She turned inward and developed a vivid imagination that she made part of her reality.When she is an adult,she still see's the world as a child might. And yet Amelie does not know how to reach out and relate to others, she feels more like an observer.

At the end, I felt true love between Amelie and Nino : D
it's sweet and honest.

Mayday

Mayday,is a Taiwanese rock band that originated in the late 1990s,but has since become one of the biggest rock bands to hit Taiwanese pop culture. As one of Taiwan's million-selling rock artists, they have received a range of accolades as well as moving records all over the world.

They are locally regarded as the best rock band after Beyond, a popular rock band that is based in Hong Kong.[citation needed] Mayday's songs resonate greatly with many Taiwanese youths who can identify with their themes of love, world peace and growing up. They are also influenced by The Beatles, which is their favourite group whom they aspire to be like.





"Embrace" is one of my favorite songs.I have heard it more than one hundred times!!
I like its melody and lyrics.Even though it's a sad song,I sometimes listen it when i am upset.
Embrace

Take off the long day’s mask, race toward the boundaries of fantasy
The pumpkin coach at midnight, put on the glass slippers of fairy tales
Let me enjoy this feeling, I’m a proud and lonely rose
Let me taste this flavor, what the chaotic world doesn’t understand

Yesterday is too close, tomorrow is too far, silently, reverently listening to the black night
The night wind kisses all the lotus blossom leaves, letting me fall, intoxicated, beside the pond
Waiting for you to see my beauty clearly, the moonlight dries all tears away
That one person… love me, take my hand… hold it

Concealing my own exhaustion, expressing my own awkwardness,
Releasing my own wildness, searching for my own tomorrow
I request from you a promise, even if you lie to me,
I need the consolation of love, even if that love like water might wash away

Released on January 20,2006, it was one of the most successful Disney Channel Original Movies
produced.

Troy Bolton , captain of the basketball team, and Gabriella Montez , a shy transfer student who
expert in math and science.

Together, they try out for the lead parts in their high school musical, and as a result, divide the

It's one of my favorite movies.

When I watched it at my first time, I was deeply moved by its story and music.

I realize what the youth is in final.

Besides, I feel the love and friend between them.
To my surprise, it makes me energetic all the time!!!
I do love them!!!


To Kai

it's my lovely roomate,Kai.
I'm so glad to meet you and be your roomate.Yes'it's true.

I always see sunshine in your eyes,and smile in the morning.
We have fun chatting with each other almost every night.
I think that it's worthy.Besides, You always make me burst out laughing.
That is'to say,I love to be with you.
Especially thank you for supporting me all the time.
When I am in trouble, you always encourge me with smile:)
I think we can overstride many obstacles together in the future,right?
Although, we sometimes have no time talking to each other,we are always
worried about each other.
It's unchageable that you are always on my mind
You are always there beside me though I am alone.

Sodagreen

Yes, I do love SODAGREEN!!

They are an independent rock band in Taiwan, almost made from National Chenchi University students. The band was formed in April, 2001. A month later, with only 1 song under their belt, they participated “Golden String Award”, a prestigious band competition in Taiwan and won a“Most Popular Band” award. A year later, they participated again, won the first prize and another 3 awards. Since then and after few band member’s changes, Sodagreen has been performing live countless of time across the country.

The vocal,Qingfeng,he always sings in special and glamorous voice.Their lyrics are graceful and delicacy.Their songs are sometimes pure or rock-and-roll. Whatever styles they are in,I am always touched by Sodagreen.In short,Sodagreen is complex and simple.When you listen Sodagreen's music ,you will indulge yourself with its melody.


(I'm so overwhlemed by this vocal's voice)





Little Love Song
Lyrics and Music by Qingfeng

This is a simple little love song
Singing the complications of people’s hearts
I think I’m happy, when I had your warmth
The air by my feet turned

This is a simple little love song
Singing of the white doves in our hearts
I think I’m suited to singing odes
Youth flutters in the wind

You know, even if floods overtake this city
I’ll give you my embrace
I can’t stand it, seeing the form of your back
I record the unending misery of leaving

Even if the entire world is held ransom by loneliness
I still won’t run away
I can’t escape, in the end everyone grows old
I record how time and music harmonize into a castle




To my delight,Sodagreen plans to put out it's new album on November 3.
I'm so looking forward to listening their songs!!

we had a wonderful time in our green days
i'm so glad that i met you in my life
you always encourage me when i am upset
you always laugh out and loudly with me
it goes without saying that you are so PRECIOUS to me
recently,i always remember you when i am alone





haha it's our green days



i miss the time we're together

i want to be with you

i want to embrace you warmly

i want to chat with you in the midnight



you are my bosom friend forever
i think that you will adapt yourself very quickly to the new enviroment
you will find meaniings of your new life in Japan
even if you're in the city that is faraway,you should exert yourself
our friendship will be unchangeable because we have the same faith

give me your promise that you will be HAPPY
i'm looking forward to seeing you in this winter vacation :)
