So today I gonna talk about some childhood memories, more specifically cartoons..
In my childhood I watch A LOT of cartoons: For example...Power Rangers (I'm a crazy fan of them) X-Men, The Amazing Spiderman (animated series of 80's and 90's), The incredible Hulk, Spiderman and his friends, Gargoyles, The mask, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Animated series of 1987 and 90's), or anime like Slayers, Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump, Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Yamazaki, Sailor Moon, Rurouni Kenshin, and A LOT of other cartoons. but in this post I will talk about one that I watched a lot during my childhood: Spiderman (animated series of 80's)
I remember I watched it when I was 3-4 years old. For me was an amazing cartoon because I really liked Superheroes. This show basically (as the same of the rest of Spiderman animated series) is about life of Peter Parker and how he fights against evil forces and super villans as Spiderman. Spiderman is a Superhero who has Spider powers (for example he has sobrenatural force and super agility, or he can produce spider web and climb on every surface). The most amazing thing about this show is the comic situations. Because Spiderman of 80's was a very funny cartoon with a lot of action. I loved it!
Today... Well I think that cartoon is very funny, mainly because today exist a lot of "Memes" about Spiderman.
So, this time I'm supposed to talk about my "favourite techonogical device"... In my opinion it's pretty difficult because I really like all my technology pieces. But OK, I will talk about my laptop. Definitely is my favourite, I recieved it on 2010's Christmas Eve and well...I love computers, they are so useful for many purposes. In my case, I love my laptop just because I do everything on it!. I play different videogames, I surf on the internet, I chat with people, I watch Anime and I listen to music everyday. When I use it, always I have fun and I enjoy it for hours. Definitely, without my laptop (because my desktop computer doesn't work and I don't want to fix it （ ﾟ Дﾟ）) I will suffer a lot (that means NO videogames, NO internet, NO videos and the most important...NO anime (T__T)) and my life would be so boring ｬダヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ!!!!!!!!
Also, I love my laptop because I can use it in the bed, I mean, I could be very relaxed on my bed and then I put my laptop on the shelf. So I use it in a very comfortable situation.
Well, if I'm gonna talk about music, I have a lot to say because I have been listening a lot of different music, different countries, diferent styles since I was a child. But in this time I will talk about my favourite band. So let's start saying something about this great music band named AN CAFE
I know a lot of things about AN CAFE because I started to listen their music in 2003 when the band was formed. AN CAFE (or Antic/Antique Cafe as well) is a Japanese Visual-Kei band formed in 2003 with 4 members: Miku (Vocals), Teruki (Drums), Kanon (Bass) and Bou (Guitar). At their beginning they were an Oshare-Kei band under the label"Loop Ash". They made some singles and discs with a lot of success. In April 30, 2007, It was announced the departure of Bou. With that, everybody thought that the band will disband.But at the end of 2007, two new members arrived to the band in order to continue their dream of playing a live performance at Nippon Budokan. The new members are Takuya (Guitar) and Yuuki (Keyboard). In January 2010, after their live performance at Nippon Budokan their would suspend activities and put the group into hiatus. However, they announced that they won't disband and AN CAFE will return. On April 1,2012 they announced their return with a World Tour on September.
After Bou left the band and with two new members, AN CAFE's music style changed and evolved a lot.because they weren't the young Oshare-Kei band anymore. Now their refer their music style as "Harajuku Dance Rock". Their songs are very creative and happy, the lyrics talk of a lot of topics (At the beginning were love, friendship, happiness, hopes and dreams) and they had been changed as the time goes by and the members grew (with the arrival of Takuya and Yuuki, the band covered and exapnded their music to many other subjects) but their never lost the characteristic rhythm that was unique. Every song of this band makes you to move or dance in some way (although they don't play just happy songs. Some of them are very slow and sad and others have a very strong rhythm) but I think the main characteristic of AN CAFE's songs is that all their songs are very catchy.
I like this band for the reasons that I wrote above. I really love their music style and their costumes, their outfits. They are so cool, fashionable and amazing!. With their music I feel with energy everyday and always I have a different form to face the life. The lyrics are pretty cool and sticky. Some of them makes you think about many aspects of your life (like "Respect Mommy" or "Bonds Kizuna"). I like all their songs but at this moment I'd say that my favourite is "Bushido to iu wa shinukoto to mitsuketari" (that means "Death is the way of Samurai warrior") Because is a very strong song and at the same time is very catchy. The lyrics talk about the decadence in the world and a warrior who must correct world's errors with his Katana ,like saying "Hey! don't give up, use your fighting spirit to solve all your problems and correct your mistakes by your own". Also this song shows AN CAFE's strongest side. In conclusion a very crazy song that break all the esthetic and the happy structure of the band without losing their style!.
Here is a video of their last live performance at Nippon Budokan; playing "Bushido to iu wa shinukoto to mitsuketari"
Well.. I will be completely honest in this entry, because sometimes when I'm thinking on future I have strange, weird ideas. And this is one of them because I have a dream but at the same time I have another one in the same dream.
If I could choose any job in any place, I will work in Japan as a President of a food company for a while. I think that would be my tangible dream. I will live in Japan, being the president of one of the most famous Japanese food company, I will be the absolute boss there, I'll have my own office with my secretary and I will have minor assignments to do. Yes it would be interesting.
But if I have to say what I would do, I think that something that is more interesting for me is being a hermit on Japan, full with misantrophy ideas or thinking that I'm not compatible with society, living on my house, away from the civilization, trying to survive day by day hunting my food or gathering it, living alone just me and nature, with nobody who wants to annoy me or trying to tell me what I have to do or what should I do and how I have to do something. that would be amazing!, and probably for me it will be hilarious.
Then when I get bored of that. I would be make amends with my path living in a Zen Buddhist Monastery, looking for peace and enjoying nature, showing respect for every life form in the planet in the last period of my life.
