Random... hmmmmm... French song! ^^,

Belle - Garou, Daniel Lavoie, Patrick Fiori

This is the song "Belle" from the french version of the Musical Notre Dame de Paris. 

"Belle" is the most popular song from the musical, both on YouTube and iTunes.

The song is gorgeous, and their voices are amazing! You should definitely watch the musical if you get the chance! 

And it's best in French!

Kawaii
	An adjective in Japanese meaning " pretty; cute; lovely; charming; dear; darling; pet" It's stem is two kanji meaning "can love". It is commonly used by anime and manga fans.

Random Japanes song part 1! Whoho!

Okay, so I just decided that I'm randomly going to publish a random Japanese song! Yay!

So, the first one is "Discotheque" by Nana Mizuki:

This is the opening theme for Rosario + Vampire Capu2, wich is season two of the 

manga/anime series Rosario + Vampire, wich I'll problaby write more about later ;)

So, since I LOOOOOOOOOVE Japan, and most things Japanese, I'll post a random Japanese word every few days ;)

Japanese songs! <3 Part 1 - Kanon Wakeshima

So, here's two songs by Kanon Wakeshima, an amazing Japanese singer/songwriter/cellist.

Two of her songs was included in the anime Vampire Knight (season 1) and VK Guilty (season 2). Still Doll was the ending theme of VK, and Suna No Oshiro was the ending theme of VK G.

These songs are AMAZING! So I would really appreciate it if you would take the time to listen to them! I've been listening to the previews in iTunes, and it seems really good! If I decide do buy it, I'll write a review ;D

And you should also watch Vampire Knight and VK Guilty, especially if you like/love vampires ;D

Meeting Jack Rubinacci for the first time!!!!!

Okay, so Febuary 28th I went with one of my friends, Karen Patricia, to Jack's CD signing in Oslo City. We made sure to get there early, about 2.10, since the mini-concert started 3.30. Jack came, and put up his gear by himself. He also filmed with his mobile, as he usually does. Then he filmed in the direction where Karen and I sat, so we waved at him, and waved back! :D Then we moved to a better place so we could film and take pictures.

Not long before the concert started, he saw us and waved, so of course we waved back ;) And almost at the end of African Mask, he turned to us, smiled and winked! *thud*
About halfway into the concert, there was a small break. Karen and I had just gotten a free CD each and were talking and I was looking at the pics in the booklet. Then, suddenly, Karen stiffened, causing me to look up. Then I saw why; Jack was walking straight towards us! He shook hand with us, asked how we were doing and wondered if we had been to The Script concert in Oslo where he was their opening artist (maybe he heard us talking about it, I don’t know), which we had. Then he signed our CD’s! He wrote “To (my name). Very nice to meet you. Thanks for coming to the Oslo show. Jack” in mine, and the same, except "Karen Patricia" in Karen’s CD (of course). Then Karen asked if we could take a pic with him, and so we did! :D Two pics actually! ^^,
He told us that he was happy that we came, and we didn’t know how to respond, since we were starstruck!
