Explanation about cultural background

-----What's "hatachi"?

 
”Hatachi” means "20 years old"

This is legal age of adulthood in Japan.

-----Why party?

Historically, Coming Age of Day is the important anniversary in Japan since 8th century.

Old time, Japanese have had "genpuku" celemony at age 12-18 to join adult society.

Even though the defined age of adulthood is different from the samurai era, Coming of Age celemony has been celebrated as an important one in the life.

Local governments all around Japan hold Coming of Age Ceremony for new 20 years old people in each region. In most cases it is in January, but can be held in summer in cold region.

-----What's "furisodation"?

 
"Frisodation" is a coinage word made up of "furisofe" and an English suffix "-ation".
Furisode is a fomal and celebratory kimono style of unmarried ladies.
The most salient feature of furisode is the long sleeves and gorgeous pattern.
It is true that wearing furisode is not limited for age 20, but acctually there's not many chance for girls to wear furisode in recent Japanese society. As furisode is expensive and difficult to wear by themselves, western dress style tend to chosen at many celebratory situation these days.

However, somehow Coming of Age Day is less westernized and still it is common to celebrate this day with furisode style.

-----Why does Kyary drink and smoke?
In Japan, 20 years old is the legal age of adulthood.
The bans on alcohol and cigar are removed at this age.

-----Why "red and white"?

Traditionally "red and white" is a coloring to show the feeling happiness and celebration in Japan.
(By the way, "black and white" shows unhappy, means death)
 
This is not symbolizing the color of Japanese national flag.

LYRICS: PonPonPon by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

I got such an ambition to sing this song all by my own with Japanese accent, kinda annoying but I'm trying. Listen to this song an find out how crazy I am now. Overall, JPOP is really cute tho! But you need to get used to the video, cute but.. scary..


Ano kousaten de minna ga moshi skip wo shite
Moshi ano machi no mannaka de te wo tsunaide sora wo miagetara
Moshimo ano machi no dokoka de chance ga tsukamitai no nara
Mada naku no ni wa hayai yo ne tada mae ni susumu shika nai wa iya iya

Ponpon dashite shimaeba ii no
Zenzen shinai no tsumaranai desho
Headphone kakete rhythm ni nosete
Wayway akete atashi no michi wo

Ponpon susumu iro-iro na koto

CONFESSION: KPOP IS DOPE


First time I heard MichiGo by G-Dragon, I was like "damn this ones too good". He got something so irresistible, the bass drops are beautifully packed with his korean rap style. This song introduces dubstep well to KPOP revolutionary breakouts, even though I also figured out that a lot of KPOP artists used dub as much as this song to make their hits.

I wonder, no one could ever resist electronic touch to their favorite KPOP hits, usually anthems and danceable songs. Most of all use a high dose of bass and it becomes a culture that the world loves EDM too, though they never know that the song they're addicted with is a branch of EDM. So the conclusion is that KPOP is also a sub-genre EDM, mostly dance songs.

I Got A Boy by SNSD (Girls' Generation) is a banger for me, it has a powerful beat and the bravest transition between 140 bpm and the lower one. KPOP brings a new generation that citizens of the world know as a new culture, yet the ancestor is my beloved electronic music with its sub-genres. SNSD has a really good list of upbeat songs you will listen like forever.

Here are some songs I now listen on repeat, most of them are EDM sub-genres, the rest is pop:

1. Like This by Wonder Girls
2. Wolf by EXO
3. Ma Boy by Sistar
4. You and I by IU
5. Fantastic Baby by Big Bang

HOUSE: Ready For The Weekend (Club Mix) by Icona Pop

Beautiful, catchy and addictive. This duo released I Love It and became hit lately for commercials anthem and more. So make sure to hear this out, the original one is more lyrical, but this club mix is such a melodic and funky. It also has a featured version, yes it's The Cataracs.

INTERMEZZO: Planet Air Raksasa, GJ1214b


Seluruh permukaan GJ1214b oleh lautan sedalam 15.000 km. Seluruhnya. Seluruhnya. Seluruhnya. SELURUHNYAAAA. WOOWW. GJ1214b diliputi oleh atmosfer hidrogen permanen yang sangat tebal dan helium yang menlindungin planet ini dari sinar matahari, walaupun suhu disana cenderung ekstrem, sekitar 120-282 derajat celcius.

“Akan sangat sulit membayangkan ada kehidupan seperti di Bumi pada planet tersebut. GJ1214b sangat panas dan gelap, dan kemungkinan besar planet itu tidak memiliki dataran berbatu seperti di Bumi,” kata David Charbonneau dari Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics seperti dikutip dari Guardian, Kamis (17/12/2009).

“Namun dengan menggunakan Hubble, kita bisa melihat keadaan atmosfir planet itu. Kita bisa menduga apakah GJ1214b bisa dihuni atau tidak. Akan sangat menarik jika kita menemukan oksigen di atmosfir planet itu. Karena di Bumi, semua oksigen di atmosfir bersumber dari kehidupan,” tambahnya.

Charbonnea dan timnya menggunakan delapan teleskop untuk mendeteksi planet berair yang mengorbit pada jarak sekira dua juta kilometer dari matahari. Berdasarkan pengukuran awal, astronom menduga massa planet itu 6,6 kali lebih besar dari Bumi dengan komposisi sekira 75 persen air, 22 persen silikon dan 3 persen zat besi.

INTERMEZZO: Mengapa Cincin Pernikahan ditaruh di Jari Manis?

BeritaUnik.net – Kenapa Cincin pernikahan selalu ada di jari manis, kok bukan di jari lain…saya sebetulnya juga bingung tapi setelah baca suatu artikel, menarik juga untuk diperhatikan. Coba deh ikuti langkah berikut ini, kalian pasti takjub karena Tuhan benar-benar membuat keajaiban (ini berasal dari kutipan Cina):

1. Pertama, tunjukkan telapak tangan anda, jari tengah ditekuk ke dalam (lihat gambar).


2. Kemudian, 4 jari yang lain pertemukan ujungnya.

3. Permainan dimulai, 5 pasang jari tetapi hanya 1 pasang yang tidak terpisahkan.

4. Cobalah membuka ibu jari anda, ibu jari mewakili orang tua, ibu jari bisa dibuka karena semua manusia mengalami sakit dan mati. Dengan demikian orang tua kita akan meninggalkan kita suatu hari nanti.

5. Tutup kembali ibu jari anda, kemudian buka jari telunjuk anda, jari telunjuk mewakili kakak dan adik anda, mereka memiliki keluarga sendiri, sehingga mereka juga akan meninggalkan kita.

6. Sekarang tutup kembali jari telunjuk anda, buka jari kelingking, yang mewakili anak-anak. Cepat atau lambat anak-anak juga akan meninggalkan kita.

7. Selanjutnya, tutup jari kelingking anda, bukalah jari manis anda tempat dimana kita menaruh cincin perkawinan anda, anda akan heran karena jari tersebut tidak akan bisa dibuka. Karena jari manis mewakili suami dan istri, selama hidup anda dan pasangan anda akan terus melekat satu sama lain.

Pertanyaan saya, kenapa jari tengah harus ditekuk sedimikan rupa? Jelas jari manis tidak dapat dibuka. Jika jari tengah tidak ditekuk, maka jari manis dapat dibuka.. Ya sudahlah, intermezzo saja.

I DONT FALL IN LOVE, I MEAN IT

I admit that I'm into you
So into you
I wrote to the sky
Could this be love?
I'm fifteen and I shouted
Get the hell out of my heart
I kept walking on circle
This feeling settled by my shoulder
Being by my side all the time
I couldn't take it off
Yet I didn't want to at all

I find myself smiling
I let it sleep beside me
I kinda enjoy that
But boys around here are like
"Good morning, sweetheart"
I was once opened up
Making fun of them
Enjoying the show
But then I decided to toss the vacancy
I'm so sick with them talks
Things be like
"Good morning" all over
Things be like
"What are you doing?"
Over, over, and over again
All I can say, disgusting
I don't want to be with them
I don't want them to stick around
They do the same thing
Day by day
"Hey sweetie"
"What are you doing?"
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Have a nice dream"
I'm like...
Fuck off! Shut the fuck up!
I can't stand this kind of interruptions

But most girls are like
"How sweet of you"
Otherwise, I'm so-so
And I cried
"I don't want any guy to be around!"
I get injured everytime they try to be with me
I answered
But deep inside I mourned

I remember you
You're different
Even though we did the same thing all over
It's never been old
I miss you
You called my name every morning
Directly right to my face
You smiled at me every single day
We had jokes
Though in our darkest days
We fought for silly things
We got mad for envious emotions
I could show my true self
I could be myself
Only if I'm with you

I confess that I miss you
I confess that I can't control this
I confess I can't be with no one else
I reminisce those days
When you lighted up my nights
Asking things you exactly have understood
You sometimes showed up blushed
For I knew that it wasn't really it
Either did I
It was no problem
When it was you
I can handle you
I can handle whenever you ask
Whatever you want to talk about
I just...
I miss you
And no one sweet in this world
Could ever replace you
