eminem's curtain call
CURTAIN CALLは俺の大好きなEMIN∃Mの新アルバムだ。EMIN∃M初のベスト・ヒット・コレックション・アルバムだ。でも今日、この新アルバム自体じゃなくて、トラック16:WHEN I'M GONEについていろいろ感想を書き込みたいと思う。
初めてこの曲を聞いた時に、涙を零しそうになった。まだ聞いた事がない曲を聞いて涙を零しそうになったのは人生初めてとだ。やっぱEMIN∃Mはすごいとあらためて感じた。
このアルバムはEMIN∃Mの最後のアルバムになるかもしれない。何故かと言うと、EMINEMは芸能界を止めて、もっと家族の側にいたいと言ったから。一人娘(HAILEY)の為に元妻(KIM)と再婚もしたよ。やっぱ最後は愛の勝ちか。。。。でも。。。引退するなEMIN∃M! FACK YOUR WIFE FACK YOUR KID FACK YOUR FAMILY!って言ったじゃんか"SHIT ON YOU"って曲で??!!ファンを選べこの野郎!っふふふふ。。。すいません冗談でござる!_| ̄|O さらばありがとうエミネム。頑張って下さいね。いつまでも応援するよ!!
ウワァァ━━━━━。゚(゚´Д`゚)゚。━━━━━ン!!!
"When I'm Gone"
[Introduction]
Yeah...
It's my life...
My own words I guess...
[Verse 1]
Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you to spite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
"Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane
"Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself
I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around on that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby...
[Chorus]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain
Just smile back...
[Verse 2]
I keep having this dream, I'm pushin' Hailie on the swing
She keeps screaming, she don't want me to sing
"You're making Mommy cry, why? Why is Mommy crying?"
Baby, Daddy ain't leaving no more, "Daddy you're lying
"You always say that, you always say this is the last time
"But you ain't leaving no more, Daddy you're mine"
She's piling boxes in front of the door trying to block it
"Daddy please, Daddy don't leave, Daddy - no stop it!"
Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket
It's got a picture, "this'll keep you safe Daddy, take it withcha'"
I look up, it's just me standing in the mirror
These fuckin' walls must be talking, cuz man I can hear 'em
They're saying "You've got one more chance to do right" - and it's tonight
Now go out there and show that you love 'em before it's too late
And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door
It's turns to a stage, they're gone, and this spotlight is on
And I'm singing...
[Chorus]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain
Just smile back...
[Verse 3]
Sixty thousand people, all jumping out their seat
The curtain closes, they're throwing roses at my feet
I take a bow and thank you all for coming out
They're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd
I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing
"Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding,"
But baby we're in Sweden, how did you get to Sweden?
"I followed you Daddy, you told me that you weren't leavin'
"You lied to me Dad, and now you make Mommy sad
"And I bought you this coin, it says 'Number One Dad'
"That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin
"I get the point - fine, me and Mommy are going"
But baby wait, "it's too late Dad, you made the choice
"Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us"
That's what they want, they want you Marshall, they keep.. screamin' your name
It's no wonder you can't go to sleep, just take another pill
Yeah, I bet you you will. You rap about it, yeah, word, k-keep it real
I hear applause, all this time I couldn't see
How could it be, that the curtain is closing on me
I turn around, find a gun on the ground, cock it
Put it to my brain and scream "die Shady" and pop it
The sky darkens, my life flashes, the plane that I was supposed to be on crashes and burns to ashes
That's when I wake up, alarm clock's ringin', there's birds singin'
It's Spring and Hailie's outside swinging, I walk right up to Kim and kiss her
Tell her I miss her, Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister
Almost as if to say..
[Chorus/Outro]
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain
Just smile back
And when I'm gone, just carry on, don't mourn
Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice
Just know that I'm looking down on you smiling
And I didn't feel a thing, So baby don't feel my pain
Just smile back...
[Curtains closing and sounds of footsteps]
apa aku buat hari ini
apa yg aku buat hari ini? hari ini hari ketiga final exam (4th year). pukul 9 a.m. ada 応用物理(Applied Physics) pastu pkl 10:05 a.m. ada 流体工学(Fluid Enggineering) sampai la pkl 11:05 a.m. hmm... ntah la, 応用物理 mcam nak kantoi plak, tapi 流体工学 mcam nak dapat 100% plak. paper seterusnya hari isnin nih so aku ada 3 hari cuti.
Abis aje 流体工学, aku terus balik ke bilik, ambik kunci basikal, pastu pegi ke satu saloon nih nak check brapa dia charge untuk normal cut. mcam sial mahal gila, 4000 yen utk normal cut aje! shit aku sebenarnya nak cuba gunting rambut kat kedai ni plak tapi tengok harga, aah fuck it baik aku pegi silva hair, dapat save 1000 yen. dekat setengah jam diaorg balun kepala aku, baru la rambut aku jadi pendek balik. huhu best plak aku rasa rambut baru aku nih, ada image 春(haru - musim bunga) plak.
lepas aku bayar bill, stylist yg potong rambut aku mintak salam. heran gak aku tapi aku salam aje la. pastu mcam biasa la, dia ikut aku sampai keluar kedai, pastu tunggu depan kedai sampai la dia dah tak nampak aku sambil lambai bye bye ngan bow. ni memang cara kedai kat jepun express 'terima kasih'. aku tau la yg dia takde la ikhlas sangat buat benda2 tu tapi anyhow, it makes you feel like a 'king' for a moment there. org jepun memang pandai jaga hati pelanggan, walaupon tak semestinya ikhlas, bagi diaorg imej di mata pelanggan tu penting gila. lepas gunting rambut, aku pegi AEON nak cari seluar slack ngan baju kemeja baru sebab seluar slack aku skang dah tak muat siot betul. awal bulan 3 nih ada 留学生意見交換会( foreign student opinion exchange : meeting + party tapi kena pakai formal which means a full suit, neck tie and black shoes).
AEON nih kedai specialist on coats & suits for 'elegent' men and women; that's what they said on the pamphlet. aku pon angkat la sehelai seluar slack kaler dark navy blue pastu mintak dia potong kaki. 3800 yen. ok gak la harga. sementara tunggu dia siap jahit kaki seluar tu, aku pusing2 la kawasan kemeja lak. ntah mcam mana mata aku bole tersangkut kat satu baju kemeja kaler hitam nih, macho gila. reger 5120 yen. mak oih mahal nyer! alamak mcam mana nih?!! aku tengok balik wallet, duit cukup pulak dah siot betul kena la beli. so aku pon panggil la org kedai (makcik, umur maybe 40-an) mintak dia bawak saiz LL. tapi malang sekali takde dalam stok plak. fuuh selamat duit aku. but wait, this is not over yet, makcik tu cakap aku bole order baju tuh pastu datang ambik hari sabtu nih. adoih makcik asal la ko bagi cadangan tu, so terpaksa la aku order hehe. tapi ntah kenapa aku rasa makcik tu mcam gelabah sket bila cakap ngan aku, mcam tak biasa jumpa foreigner.
aku rasa dia nih one of those japanese who magically becomes nervous when they're with foreigners. dah banyak aku jumpa org kedai yg mcam nih. gelabah gila bila nampak pelanggan foreigner. bkn apa, diaorg takut yg foreigner tu tak reti cakap jepun. kalo customer tu tak paham bahasa jepun, mcam mana dia nak tunjukkan dia punya 'kesopanan' dan rasa 'hormat' dia terhadap customer tu? time aku bagi bill for the slacks, dia tanya la asal mana. aku cakap malaysia. dia pon buat2 kenal malaysia hehe. pastu puji aku terror bahasa jepun, hek alah tu saja nak cover dia tak tau kat mana malaysia la tu. pastu time aku keluar kedai AEON tu, mcam biasa la dia ikut sampai keluar kedai, bow dua tiga kali pastu tunggu kat depan pintu kedai tu sampai la dia tak nampak aku. aku kayuh basikal aku slow2 sket, biar dia tunggu lama sket hahaha. pastu bila dah jauh sket (dalam 30m kot) aku tengok belakang, fuuh still tunggu depan pintu tuu, siap bow sekali lagi kat aku. rasa bersalah plak hehe sorry makcik wuahahaa. tapi aku respect aa cara org jepun jaga hati pelanggan. aku rasa kalo kat mesia ada org buat mcam tu, suka hati la pelanggan nak pegi kedai dia.
Sampai bilik, aku solat asar pastu bukak computer. sementara tunggu margrib (ada 30 minit lagi), aku ambik gamba aku pakai webcam, pastu letak dalam friendster. rambut baru feweet! mcam bezita pon ada jugak but i like it !!! what do you think? leave a comment at the bottom okeh?! or why don't you try my new chat board on the left side of this site? have a nice day!!
chi to hone
Chi to hone (血と骨 - blood and bones) , a japanese film directed by famous japanese director with korean blood: Yoichi Sai; is the best Kitano-Takeshi-starred movie ever made. well, at least to me. Kitano Takeshi is one of my favourite actor of all time. he started in the entertaiment business as a comedian. being very successfull in that, he chooses to do something different, that is to star in violent movies, mainly yakuza-themed. he also directed many violent award winning movies like BROTHER, SONATINE and HANABI.
back to chi to hone. this long film is about a Korean immigrant (to Japan), played by Kitano Takeshi, who cares about nothing but his own pleasure and gain. his destructive personality and violent temper decimate everything and everyone around him. this film is based on a novel about a true story that happed during the period of 1930-1980 (i guess) in Osaka japan.
Kim Shunpei (Kitano's character) is one of the most violent character i've ever seen in a movie. the fight scenes and the rape scenes were done soo perfectly it scared the hell out of me because it's soo real and close to reality. if you're a kitano fan, this is a must see movie. kitano's character was soo strong, you don't even want to care about other characters, which in my opinion is a bad and a good thing.
this is the best japanese film i've ever watched. it's a really good film i can't really explain why. when i was watching it, i feel very uncomfortable and i can't relax because of the shock and excitement it gives from time to time. but i won't recommend this to those who only like mainstream film with happy endings. but hell.... kitano is no doubt still the king in japanese movies. you have to watch this one.
a violent man has no reason to be violent. it's in their blood; it's in their bones. even when he's older and have to use a stick to help him walk, Kim is still a violent man whom we can't predict when he's going to go nuts. i think that's what the movie wants to tell the audiance. well, at least i took it that way. one more thing that i like about the movie is that the script does not attempt to explain or justify Kitano's character. It presents him without judgment. although Kim is an asshole to his family and the people around him, he is one of the most loyal and patriotic man to his homeland, north korea. before he died, he donates almost all of his fortune to the north korean goverment so that schools and hospitals can be built. this is a true story, and suddently i realized: sometimes men really did do things like this; like doesn't giving a fuck to anything else except to the things that he matters. there are men who likes fishing more than his own family. men who likes car more than his wife. men who spends all of his money for the sake of his own hobbies without thinking about other people who are in dire need for help.
the only thing that i don't like about this movie is it's sex scenes. some of it are totally unnecessary and sometimes are done too long. they could've pan the camera to the ceiling 5 seconds after they started fucking, but no, the director wanted to show the scenes in detail. i think he's just doing it for fun. yeah i guess it's fun to make famous people especially the females to undress and do sex scenes while telling them it's their job to make it look good. i wanna be a director one day.
AKE OME 2 !!!
ok kami (aku ngan yusei la) sampai umah dalam pkl brapa ntah aku tak ingat, tapi bukak aje genkan (玄関 - pintu utama), hidung aku telah dapat mengesan bau2 enak datang daripada dapur. jenguk2 diaorg dah mula buat persediaan untuk makan malam. aku sebagai orang melayu yg sopan lagi beradab tertib ketimuran gemilang pon apa lagi, cakap la yg aku nak tolong. tapi buat kali ke brapa ntah la mak dia cakap tak payah la duduk aje la depan tv, lagipon dah nak siap dah. aku pon naik la atas, gi berak. aahh best. turun2 hidangan makan malam dah siap. gilak ah sumer nampak sedap ajo wooh bahagia sial !! banyak jugak jenis2 lauk malam nih. ada tempura, miso shiru, daikon, pastu abenda lagi ah nama aku lupa nak tanya. terror sial mak yusei masak. brapa kali ah aku tambah. lauk paling sedap malam tu nama dia aku lupa, dia pakai ikan saba (ikan jepun fav aku !!) yg dibalut ngan rumpai laut pastu di biarkan dalam sup miso selama satu hari suntuk. sedap gilo brapa ketul ntah aku makan. ahaa sebelum kami makan hidangan utama, mak dia keluarkan steamed shellfish (nama melayu lupa plak) yg separuh masak. uhh juicy gila, dah la besar. banyak gak aku makan, dalam 3-4 ketul kot. aa pastu malam tu buat pertama kali jugak aku makan karashi mentaiko (辛子明太子 - telur ikan kod yg diperam ngan cili ngan garam). sedap gila benda nih kalo makan ngan nasi.
pastu lepas makan, mak yusei ajak main babanuki untuk pilih sapa yg akan basuh pinggan mangkuk malam tu. aku pon cakap la tak payah main pon takpe, aku pon bole tolong basuh. lagi sekali mak dia tolak pelawaan aku untuk tolong. so kami main la, akhir sekali yg kena basuh pinggan malam tu: aku ngan hoshimi. aku sengaja aje bagi kalah supaya dapat jugak aku wat kerja dalam rumah nih. time basuh pinggan mangkuk, aku tanya la hoshimi mcam2. aku tanya pasal mcam mana life org yg baru masuk society kerja nih (hoshimi sama umur ngan aku, start kerja sebagai wartawan majalah remaja beberapa bulan lepas). dia cakap ok aje cuma letih sebab sibuk gila. tapi aku terkejut gak sebab dia kata dia tak minum arak & tak isap rokok. sebab aku terkejut adalah kerana majoriti org jepun yg bekerja nih kalo lepas kerja, memang jadi tradisi diaorg utk ajak rakan sekerja pegi izakaya utk minum2. dia cakap memang rakan kerja dia ajak gi izakaya, tapi dia cuma order jus oren aje la. time aku cakap kat ayah yusei yg muslim tak minum arak, dia terkejut plak; dia kata: "mcam mana diaorg nak hilangkan stress lepas kerja tanpa minum arak?". aku cakap aje la org mesia pon kuar gi makan jugak tapi tak minum arak pon bole hilangkan stress. pastu aku tanya plak hoshimi, percaya kat tuhan ak? "hmm.. tak kot" dia jawab. pastu dia sambung "org jepun generasi muda2 skang dah tak percaya pada agama. tapi time ada festival apa2, kami join jugak asalkan best dan seronok". hmm mcam tu ke? (aku dah tau sebenarnya, cuma saja nak borak). pastu aku pon citer aa pasal org mesia yg hampir sumer nya percaya kat tuhan; tak kira la muslim ke, buddist ke, christian ke sumer nya at least ada kepercayaan terhadap tuhan. dan walaupon kami org mesia ada kepercayaan dan budaya masing2, takde la nak gaduh2 sembelih adik awak tikam abang jiran sebelah. kami idup aman ajeh, aku pon suka ngan mesia sebab mcam2 jenis budaya bercampur aduk dan masing2 bole bawa identiti sendiri tanpa ancaman drpd org lain. tak mcam jepun yg hanya ada org jepun, malaysia is truly a multi-cultural country yg aman dan menampakkan potensi utk menjadi negara yg maju.
lepas basuh pinggan, kami duk depan tv ajeh sampai la pkl 1pagi. sebelum aku naik tido, yusei suruh aku ingat apa yg akan aku mimpi malam ni. mimpi yg kita lihat pada malam new year (1hb punya malam) ni org jepun panggil hatsu yume (初夢), kalo ko mimpi nampak gunung fuji, makna nya bagus la ko punya tahun. aku ingat mimpi aku malam tu. pelik betul mimpi aku. aku mimpi hoshimi masuk bilik aku tgh tido pastu dia ajak buat sex. wtf !!?? aku pon cakap la yg muslim nih haram berzina, tapi dia nak buat jugak siap bukak baju sumer sambil cakap yg dia dah lama nak wat sex ngan foreigner. so aku pon lempang la hoshimi sampai dia rebah pastu dia pon blah dr bilik aku. ntah mcam2 mana ah, sedar2 dah pukul 9 pagi. wooh nasib baik mimpi aje. yusei ajak aku turun makan sarapan pagi. mak dia tanya la apa hatsu yume aku. takkan la aku nak cakap "saya mimpi anak pompoan sulung makcik ajak saya buat sex tapi saya tolak", so aku tipu la dengan niat baik " saya mimpi saya jumpa ngan family saya kat mesia. mungkin sebab saya terlalu tersentuh dengan kebaikan family makcik selama 3 hari ini. terima kasih banyak2 sebab sudi ajak saya untuk sambut tahun baru bersama2. ini merupakan satu pengalaman yg amat berharga untuk saya". bla bla bla aku pon berterima kasih, puji2 sket pastu suruh diaorg jaga kesihatan; sumer nya itu perkara2 yg sepatutnya kita cakap kalo dah stay beberapa hari kat umah org jepun; mori (tutor aku) yg ajar sumer nih. nasib baik aku ingat sumer.
aku dah nak balik ke asrama dah petang tu, so sebelum aku blah, aku mintak la nak ambik gamba ngan ahli famili diaorg. tapi hoshimi takde plak sejak pagi lagi, mak dia ckap yg hoshimi dah keluar pegi mana ah sejak pkl 7pagi lagi. hmm.... semalam tu mimpi ke betul ah? anyways, yusei yg ambik gamba nih. sebelum blah, nenek yusei datang bawak apple ngan kacang, dia suruh aku bawak balik makan. sebelum blah tu biasak la, kena la ikut adat org jepun, so aku cakap la benda mcam mekasih, jaga kesihatan sumer dalam bahasa jepun yg sopan, bow, pastu blah. lambai bye bye sampai la tak nampak diaorg lagi. tu cara org jepun say goodbye kot. ayah yusei nak anta aku sampai ke train station so aku naik aa keter ayah dia. tengah jalan tu terserempak ngan satu couple pakcik makcik nih, keter diaorg terbabas masuk longkang. kami pon turun aa dr keter nak tengok kalo2 ada benda yg bole kami tolong. nasib baik takde yg cedera, cuma diaorg tak bole nak tarik kereta diaorg keluar dr longkang tu. kami tak leh tolong apa2 jugak so diaorg call la tow truck. kat iiyama nih salji turun lebat gila, time aku pegi tu salji dah sampai 2 meter. skang dah 4 meter. rumah yusei ada 3 tingkat. tingkat 1 ngan 2 dah tertimbus ngan salji dah. bukak tingkap nampak tembok salji aje. jalan pon penuh ngan salji, so memang licin la jalan tuh, senang aje kereta nak spin. kami naik keter balik, ayah yusei pon anta la aku sampai ke train station.
train aku dah sampai so aku mintak diri dulu la. aku baru sedar yg selama nih aku tak penah lak bersalam ngan ayah dia. aku pon pegi la dekat sket tapi sebelum sempat aku hulurkan tangan nak bersalam, ayah dia bow goodbye lak. lepas aku balas bow tuh baru la aku hulurkan tangan nak salam. ayah dia nampak mcam kekok plak nak bersalam tapi nasib baik dia salam gak. pkl 12.45 train aku berlepas. tut tuut mana ada train yg bunyi mcam tu dah. waa best sial 3 hari nih.
so, buat pertama kali nya aku sambut new year japanese style. perbezaan sambutan new year kat jepun ngan malaysia ialah: new year kat mesia meriah gila ngan bunga api sumer, tapi sambutan new year kat jepun lebih relax dan lebih tertumpu kepada spending time bersama2 famili makan makanan tradisional. aku rasa musim new year lah merupakan musim paling 'senyap dan slow' kat jepun. sumer org relax, dan cuba untuk enjoy cuti bersama famili dalam keadaan aman dan tak buat bising. yahoo abis gak post nih! nanti aku tulis pasal benda lain lak yg ada kaitan ngan life aku kat jepun nih. akhir sekali: ake ome everybody!
