*** TOMALICIOUS'S 1ST TOMA B-DAY PROJECT *** / what's on toma's playlist? ~_~


♥ toma-ism #38:

toma-kun...
i want to see you now, but i can't fly through the sky.
if i were to become a comet
i would shed an overflowing light
and whenever u were sad, looking up at the night sky
i'd shine even brighter, so that u would smile.

if i were to become a comet
i'd always be next to you.
[translated lyrics of Younha's "Comet" (houki boshi) song,
translated by LYRICS FOR ALL AGES]


my apologies, everyone!
certain things prevented me from posting yesterday!
so if u left, pls come back!
there IS a new post!

so let's pretend it's still friday.
so it's red text on a black bg again.

first things first,


TOMALICIOUS'S B-DAY PROJECT HAS STARTED RECENTLY!
FANS CAN START SENDING LETTERS/POSTCARDS TO REPRESENTATIVES OR SCATTIE, THEN THEY'LL ALL BE BINDED TOGETHER, AND SOMEONE WILL PERSONALLY GIVE IT TO TOMA WHEN THEY WATCH HIM IN THE GREASE PLAY!
YOU CAN GO TO EITHER OF THE LINKS BELOW FOR INFO/TO PARTICIPATE!

PLEASE DO PARTICIPATE IF U CAN,
IT WOULD BE NICE IF TOMA COULD GET LOTS OF LETTERS/POSTCARDS FROM FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD!!
(you don't have to be a member of Tomalicious to take part!)

REMEMBER THE DEADLINES ARE SEPT 12/SEPT 25, THOUGH.
THIS IS REALLY EXCITING...I'M SURE HE'D BE HAPPY TO GET SUCH A BIG PRESENT LIKE THIS!

btw, my current fav song is this old A-Mei song. it's so cool/soothing,
it can really calm me down!! I LOVE IT. it's also the perfect song 2 listen 2 as u drift off to sleep ne~
i think the title translates to something like "release" or "let go". watch the MV here:

of course, u know this is me @imeem...most of my fav songs R here. =)

but i haven't been there lately, cuz it's still summer and my computer often heats up when i'm there. haha~ i'll be there more starting in the fall, probably...

as usual,
i hope you'll like this post. =)
brought to you by
kate`*,
who wishes... she could be a comet.
mostly cuz she'd love 2 be able to fly freely in the sky like a bird.
but even faster! haha~ wait, actually, comets R in space.
i'd rather be a bird and fly in the sky, but on earth!

anyway...
bye bye for now!

[in the rain, sleet, or snow, toma keeps listening 2 his music. =) pic credit: www.fans.com.cn]

Yappari our toma-chan really LOVES MUSIC!! (me too!!) besides x-japan (he loves Hide!) and backstreet boys, toma also likes a lot of other singers/bands. michael jackson is another singer he really likes... it's cool that toma likes such a wide variety of music and he listens to a lot of american music too ne! but i guess it's no surprise, cuz american pop/rock/rap is pretty popular most places in the world anyway... but i'd like to think that if he listens to music in english more, it might help his english improve, right? haha...now if only he could also watch american tv shows with subtitles he'd learn even more!!

[a pic of toma's ipod, credit: mottomotto7@LJ. ah-- toma's really into skulls stuff! 0_o]

below R artists that he mentioned he liked/was listening to in his Tomagoto entries from 2007.
[*** go here to read Helen's tomagoto translations, toma talked about music he's listening to in some of the entries. http://community.livejournal.com/ikuta_toma/91327.html ***]

i've searched for their songs on imeem, and also posted a link to their wiki page, so u can check them out for yourselves and see why toma likes them. =) do u and toma like the same kinda music?? there's some overlap for me & toma, but i tend to not like the hard rock stuff.

yappari, many of them are (hard)rock bands. haha. toma loves rock 'n' roll!! he even knows how to play an electric guitar!! so cool, right? ;) i'd love 2 see him play a whole song on one! or just see him play the guitar, period! that would be cool eNOUGH, 2 see him rock out! *__* hey, conan o'brien, my fav late night talk show host, also plays some guitar! xD i've only seen him play a little of Smoke on the Water and Creep on it though...

[casual toma... just taking a walk, of course he's got his earphones on, his music with him. hehe~ doesn't he look so smart & cool in his glasses & white shirt?? ~_~ pic credit: tomalover@flickr.]

[he really loves elephant kayashima's song, Egao no Mirai e (something like: To future of smiling face)! this song is so great it almost makes him cry!! check out what he wrote about it & dload the song here (check the comments).

i think the song is about a father's love for his daughter or parents' love 4 their children in general?? that's what it seems like from the title, MV and the parts in eng....
