ONE OK ROCK

I've found a new great band, quite young still, had their major debut this year, 2007.04.25 with the single "Naihi shinsho".
ONE OK ROCK, a young band that formed around 2006.
The vocalist TAKA is a former NewS member (Johnny's Entertainment), but he dropped after their so-called first single (it wasn't an "official" single, only sold in 7-Elevens and didn't count as their first single), because he wanted to continue his studies.
The members are around 18-20 years today, and they're having a single release this autumn.
Check these out:
Keep it real (Indies)
Naihi shinsho (Debut single)
Yume Yume (Newest single)


I've been thinking about their band name these days, and I have a theory that it's not what it looks like, like "one OKay rock". If you pronounce it in japanese, it becomes like this: "one OKu rock". This "oku" means milliard/billion. So maybe it says "one billion rock", makes more sense but at the same time less sense, what, in this case, do they wanna say with "one billion rock"??
Well, it's a question that I do not have the answer on, yet.

F*cking essay-writing...

Well, as you can see, not much happens lately..
This whole week I've been sitting in front of my PC, trying to write an essay for the University... But it's been like hell. At first I couldn't start, I had no idea about what I should write about, and I had no idea about HOW I should write this thing. So I didn't write a thing in the last weekend, and the monday. But starting from tuesday, I've continuously been in front of my PC, trying to be a good essay writer...
Tomorrow at 4 PM I have to hand in this essay. Today I've finished the main writing, and tomorrow I'll be doing a last check and try to shorten it a bit so that it fits the criterion. And after I've hand in the essay, I'll be in heaven for two and a half day, to return to a hell-week next week. Next week I'll have to go to the University every single day...that'll be like hell...

Anyway, one happy news is that I've at least taken some time to shop new clothes! It's rarely never happens to me. Unlike most girls, I really am not a big fan of shopping... I can't find the right clothes for me that I really like, and finding great jeans is like finding a contact lens in the sea. But this time I think I had the shopping-god with me or something, 'cause I found two good jeans! And some T-shirts and stuff. So I made some good shopping at last (^^)
But soon I have to go hunting again, 'cause I have to find a good jacket for the coming cold and dark season of winter...

Well well, some lines is better than no lines... I hope that I'll be able to write more interesting things and more often... so Stay Tuned! (^O^)v
