I really enjoy Jay Chou's pieces. In fact back when I was still in high school, preparing for Form 3 PMR papers, I would just spam out the YouTube playlist of his pieces. Everything back then was a golden piece to my enjoyment, especially those with piano background and accompaniment like 不能说的秘密, 轨迹 and 安静. 

Damn those were the times. Those were the times when each of his pieces were SOOOOO GOOD. Even today, although they might not have as much of those sentimental elements anymore, they are still so so good. 

The first modern piece that I really really enjoyed was 大笨钟 Big Ben. Oh ohohohoh there's also 明明就,and 告白气球!! AHHHHHHH!!!! There's so many pieces that I didn't cover!!! Oh NOOOOOOOOO! 算什么男人 was one that I did, then there was 不该 and 等你下课 .... 


Ahh, I really really should listen and play more Jay Chou piano pieces...

For 说好不哭 Won't Cry, it reminded me of those good ol' days when Jay Chou was producing mass hits, and his voice is soo soo good at bringing back nostalgia. I mean, I grew up listening to Jay Chou's pieces as the source of musicality. It was his songs that inspired me to play piano again. Inspired me to live a better person as a result from watching his Secret movie, where in a line it was mentioned "多听音乐,当个普通的人". Well I don't mean to be normal as in SO normal and mediocre, but the essence was listening to his music had a positive change in me. I practiced his pieces, his songs, printed out his piano sheets and all... and hey, today, I'm making my own sheets of his songs!

It feels.... like I have come really far from where I started from.... And I ought to be happy with my progress and growth as a pianist. Now I'm not sure if you guys know, but I don't think I deserve the title pianist because I've met reall professional pianists and to call myself one would be to diminish their abilities. However in this case, I've improved, and am closer to being able to accept to call myself a "mini-pianist" hehehe

For this I am grateful for all of the support. I wish to have more time playing piano, honing my skills, playing more pieces that I enjoy, and also hope to be able to make some money out of it. In fact i think its because of my Jay Chou piano videos that kicked off my channel, and I'd like to carry on making his videos =)

Weathering With You

Ohhhh looks like its been quite a while since I last came here...?

Weathering With You has been catching the nation by the storm (or the haze if you'd prefer that way). And as a result we have something like this: 
HAZING WITH YOU!
Damn those corporate companies burning off their asses to cut costs. If only it were so much more literal, that wouldn't have resulted in this stupid haze.

BACK TO THE TOPIC: Weathering With You
I've finally watched the movie, and I gotta say I enjoyed it very much! I've had some friends who said "Mehhh Weathering With You was disappointing", "WWY was not as good as Kimi No Nawa" etc... I enjoyed both movies differently: Your Name/ Kimi No Nawa had more touching story plot, while WWY had more powerful OSTs. Zen Zen Zense was more pumped, but WWY has Grand Escape. You want sad sappy songs? There's Nandemonaiya in Your Name, and WWY has What Else Can Love Do and We'll Be Alright! Both Your Name and Weathering With You were awesome for their strengths. And all these were only possible thanks to Makoto Shinkai and RADWIMPS. They really fit and complement each other's crafts so well. Makoto Shinkai provided the foreground story of the movies, and RADWIMPS brought out the emotions from the scenes. And this is why anime song is simply the better genre compared to most modern genre. Fight me if you disagree. I'll wait. 

Oh let's not forget too: I didn't shed a tear when watching Your Name, but there were tears shed for Weathering With You heheheheh

Overall I'm so satisfied for having watched Weathering With You for only RM8, and it felt to be the best movie ticket I have ever bought with my own money. Really really a masterpiece to be enjoyed. Its truly truly a beautiful anime movie. 

Right, this time around I've prepared 3 videos already before this post came to be, and I'll insert ALL of them here in this post.
