This might be really old news, but as everyone (should) know(s?) BoA released her US debut album not too long ago, I had forgotten about it, or rather, I had no money to get it… but any way, it was apparently leaked onto Z-degrees.net which is an Asian Entertainment Forum (like music and stuff) and of course you need to validate it and stuff so I wait and I wait and I wait… of course it never came so I pressed resend again and again, but I can’t wait forever. So I type it into google

and I get a sharebee http://sharebee.com/63ba0f2b   which is awesome because it gives you choices of where to download from, I figure 111 downloads (I chose the share file or something like that)

and of course I heard that the Utada This is the One album was leaked (don’t worry I plan on buying both of the albums (but in CD form) regardless of whether I like them or not) so I looked and found a bunch of torrents. It was really annoying, since I took out the only torrent thing that worked for mac, luckily I found one that was download rather than torrent. it was RapidShare though-at least I thought it was, then it turned out to be uploading.com, it was quite confusing to say the least. No to mention incredibly slow downloading times, but it’ll be worth it… at least… I keep telling myself this. I got the Utada Album here. (the password is http://epshi.com ) It took forever to download, it was 30 minutes (or so it said) it was way longer than that, and I have pretty awesome internet speed.

At this point it’s been over an hour and I still haven’t gotten the validation from z-degrees, what a pain, I mean really. That’s why people hate those things, as if the forum itself wasn’t a pain. I mean, they’re all “donate to us” and it’s like … why??? There are ads EVERYWHERE!!!! You can get forums free, really, you can, so many ways, and still have options. but really? Why do you have ads everywhere? I doubt they use their own server, but I wouldn’t know, I need to be ‘validated’ before I can view the forum, how stupid is that? If you’re not gonna send me the damn validation then don’t expect me to reply, it’s a wonder how they have members. It said it would be within 10 minutes and now it’s over an hour with requesting the validation letter several times. Whatever!

I really like Anna Tsuchiya’s song Cocoon… sorry, I just had to put that in there. I’m listening to it now. It was so weird, I had never listened to it and then all of a sudden it comes on and it’s like “wow… Tsuchiya is awesome… but wait… what song is this?”

Anyway, I’ve got the BoA album playing now “I did it for love” it’s really catchy, an awesome dance club beat! The second one (Energetic) was a lot better than I thought it would be, I mean, Itunes gave it the crappiest preview ever of course I’m not the only one who complain about that. I liked the(Dress Off) 3rd one better than the 2nd (Energetic) , but the (I did it for love) 1st more. “GIRLS ON TOP”!!! I loved the Korean version to bits, so I have a major bias, I already love this song. Oh… I just realized that I might not have been listening to them in album order… haha :goes back to put title names in parenthesis next to the numbers. I’ve got “Look Who’s Talkin’” right now, I think the lyrics are a little silly, but I must say it’s a pretty good song. I was just reaing something about someone saying the American version sucks, but I think it’s actually really good and (if it gets the exposure that it deserves) it could become pretty popular (especially in clubs, hopefully it wont die there like Utada’s “Devil Inside” or whatever it was called) If anything I think the person was “Cross-Over-Phobic” I was like that, you  know, you don’t want it coming to America because America will “taint” it. I was like that with Artists, I was like that with Anime and Manga and I can’t say I care. If anything I like it coming to the states because that means it’ll only get easier to get some of their other stuff. You know? iTunes might start getting some more of that artist’s music up on their stupid thing. Anyway, it’s been almost an hour and the Utada thing is almost fully downloaded… had I known it would’ve taken this long I would’ve done this hours ago… except I wasn’t home… well damn now that doesn’t work now does it? Wow, it almost done!!! 5…4…A few seconds…. that’s not a number… YES!!! It’s downloaded!!!!

Okay, now that I’ve complained about the downloading time and realized that it doesn’t need a password, well, I decided to upload it… on sharebee. Yup. After all I can’t complain about it and then be like RAWR!! It was annoying, so I’m putting it on sharebee so it’s quicker to download incase there are others like me who enjoy having the albums before they can actually get to the store to buy the actual CDs. Yes, I enjoy the actual CDs, that way when your Computer decides to eat all your music you still have it Because that happened to me way too many times, you know, you’d finally get all the best songs you love… then the next day your computer would eat them all.. and really, who has time to burn 100+ on a bunch of CDs? I mean, isn’t that the point? to not have to waste extra money on the physical thing??? So really, that defeats the purpose. So I figure, if I just get the CD in the first place, I don’t have to worry about any of that… or what happens when you need a song and realized most of your burned CDs are unlabled, then you realized you got burned CDs mixed up with CDs that haven’t been burned yet. Maybe that’s why they call it a Burned CD. Burn!

Of course only 4 minutes left and it’s like “connection interupted” T_T I hate when that happens and now I have to wait a half an hour… okay… I might not get it up…at least not on sharebee… it’s not working T_T… I’m going to try sendspace… anything is better than rapidshare…

Alright, it’s up on SendSpace!!! Utada Hikaru’s “This is the One” Album
