...is a well made (well narrated and shot) film about Mother Earth and how she functions...the balance of everything. I love the bright and vivid colours and how the film is narrated. Some may think it's yet another polemic environmentalist's piece of crap. I beg to disagree, though, as I viewed just as a nice, simple and relaxed tale of out Earth...well...so far what I watched of it :D. Damn internet is slowing things up and I have to watch yet another 1hr 20 minutes lol.

How to lose friends and alieniate people...

... is a brilliant comedy! Gotta watch it - full stop!

Free music:

If you like listen to music for free online, I can recommend Spotify!
It's easy to use and very similar to iTunes. If you can put up with 1 or 2 adverts in between our set of songs (no worries! NOT in the middle of a song!), then just get started!

I found some interesting stuff, including the earlier mentioned Captain Future Soundtrack and David Bowie and Nat King Cole singing in Japanese!!

Unfortunately it is not easy to find exotic stuff like music by Eri Sugai (Japan's advanced answer to Enya) or old school Japanese Techno like that by Sons of Nintendo (no link available), of whom I happen to have a few genius tracks on my old dusty MD. But I guess there won't be any platform where you could find those!

English speaking artists singing in Japanese!!!

The first one is Mr David Bowie singing "Girls" in Japanese:

hi!
is this version hard to get for you?
i bought this song at iTunes store.

-------------------------------------------
I kind of agree with Tanutanu saying that he/she was bursting into laughter...but then again, I do have a lot of respect for him and other to actually do a song in Japanese!!
-------------------------------------------

The next artist is Nat King Cole with "L-O-V-E" - I personally love that one!!

Here are the lyrics in "Romaji":

L to kaitara look at me
O to tsuzukete ok
V wa yasashii moji very good
E to musubeba ai no ji love
love wa sekai no kotoba
love wa futari no takara
aishiaeba ashita mo akarui
love love you love I love you

Childhood Memories: Captain Future

One of my fondest childhood memories is that of watching a Japanese Anime series named "Captain Future". Not only were the stories brilliant, but what absolutely was remarkable about the German version of the series is the soundtrack composed by Christian Bruhn.

If you happen to know the series...forget the Japanese soundtrack or the English soundtrack! They just cannot compete with the German, and surprisingly much cooler soundtrack :D
