My Ayu CD Collection!! :D
I just felt like posting about my collection, which is on the up - growing as we speak :D They are in order of purchase:

$$ ayu-ro mix 3
$$ RAINBOW
$$ Memorial Address (w/DVD)
$$ A Song for XX
$$ LOVEppears
$$ ayu-mi-x
$$ moments

and, arriving to my collection in less than 2 weeks:

$$ vogue
$$ Far away
$$ SEASONS
$$ Free & Easy
$$ SURREAL
$$ Endless sorrow
$$ A
$$ UNITE!

and, my next purchase will be:

$$ INSPIRE
$$ Duty

yay, I love collecting Ayu CDs!! :D

Change in line up!
After a long time I've grown apart from some of the artists that I was planning to include on the site, and have moved onto new stuff. Therefore, Ken has been replaced by MISIA, w-inds have been replaced by B'z and Kiroro have moved into the line-up also, replacing morning musume. I'm not sure yet whether to replace speed with DAI, but I haven't heard much from DAI yet so I'll just have to wait and see.

So the current line-up is as follows:

+ hikaru
+ boa
+ ayumi
+ kumi
+ misia
+ takki
+ elt
+ speed
+ kiroro
+ chemistry
+ B'z

And the following artist's sections are up:
^ hikaru
^ boa
^ ayumi
^ kumi
^ elt

So patience is the key lol.

SCHEDULE!!!!
I decided that if I'm gunna get this site movin' I need a SCHEDULE hehe :D

Kumi's section set up--------13/7/04
commonplace romanised--------13/7/04

Long time no log!
Woa I haven't written in this blog for months!

Well....

The new layout is UP! And a new location - because the site is in frames. It's very very nice and very very incomplete. Please remember to check it out:

www.geocities.com/onestop_jpop

yep, that's right:

www.geocities.com/onestop_jpop

The things that are complete are:

--Utada Hikaru's section
--Hamasaki Ayumi's section
--BoA's section
--Every Little Thing's section: info, discography (singles only), lyrics (every best single 2 only)

So right now I'm working on ELT's section and then straight onto Kumi's

I'm romanising my own songs now and I've done a couple of translations too.

I have romanised Ayu's Memorial Address and translated 3 songs from it. I also romanised Every Best Single 2 by ELT and translated one song from it. I am currently romanising Ayu's RAINBOW, then it's Deep River (Hikki), A Song for XX (Ayu), commonplace (ELT), LOVEppears (Ayu) and LOVE&HONESTY by BoA.

Tadaima!!!
I'm back from Japan! Man it was so awesome! I'm still excited about the 6 CDs I came back with. This is a great development for the site also because I plan to use the lyrics booklets from those CDs to romanize those lyrics myself. Now I have heaps of time to work on the site and everything including translations and romanizations of my own because I'm on holidays until the end of January.

3.0 status --> 72 BoA Korean lyrics down, 11 to go!

'Next Step' --> BoA's wallpaper, Ayumi's section

'No Way to Say' --> Site may not be up for originally planned grand opening (Feb 1) :( I ask for 'forgiveness'

'Feelings Deep Inside' --> My 'Discovery' is that Ayumi's Memorial Address COMPLETELY ROCKS!! 'Feel the Same'?

Update on 3.0.tangerine.version
At the moment I have done 28 of BoA's Korean lyrics in the new layout... getting there slowly...

The release date of the new layout has been post-poned to probably the 1st of February 2004. Hope I can get it done, it's school holidays now so I think so.
