What's Goin On, I'm Movin On

[mousapelli]

Strange request: Rec me some techno. I'm still digging through all the DDR Kiwi sent me, and now when i turn on the radio in the car, there's stuff i'm kind of into! Pretty much any language is okay with me (dude, it's techno).

you guys are dirty, dirty enablers. i love you all. And we probably shouldn't talk about how much i enjoyed watching KAT-TUN shove Jin into a high-speed batting cage and then cheerfully yell "Abunai, abunai yo~!!" at him.

I was really hoping to write some of this Take the House fic, like, you know, now, but i was distracted by how completely psychotically adorable Sakurada Dori (the new Tenimyu Ryoma) is.

You know what they need to do? they need an english-language j-idol magazine, like Junon or whatever. Like how there's an english version of Newtype? i want idol fanservice news too! Or at least commercials where boys DDR for my amusement...

ETA: I can't stop watching this ad. It's the single most effective DDR ad ever made, IMO. *wants*

Fischerspooner, Goldfrapp, Daft Punk, The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, Massive Attack and Sneaker Pimps. I think those are all I can definitely recommend, but there's probably a lot I've forgotten about. I suggest keeping an eye on the iTunes store, though, because sometimes they'll have a techno song up for one of the free downloads of the week. Ooh, and Junkie XL! He's the one who did that version of A Little Less Conversation, which I'm pretty sure was in one of the Oceans movies.

I just remembered the little music video story thingy that Daft Punk did with the first four tracks of one of their albums, so here are YouTube links:

One More Time wherein all starts out shiny and happy.

Aerodynamic wherein the band is kidnapped!

Digital Love wherein a potential hero is revealed.

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger wherein the kidnapping is made thorough.

do you just need a link to download or do you want the actual ad?

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

lol, what i meant was that I wanted japanese boys DDRing at me for longer than 30 seconds.

I haven't quite breached the line between me watching cute people doing DDR and actually trying it myself, haha.

[therhoda.livejournal.com]

but its fun, and the mario one has levels. Of course I would try harder if i could get KAT-TUN to dance as a bonus level.

But hey watching them do it is sooo fun. I have the high quality clip of that if you get tired of the evil that is youtube.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

yeah, if you have the high quality version, that'd be hot! so sexy. yay.

I didn't realize it was out in english. I will have to see about borrowing my brother's gamecube when he goes back to college *shifty*

[therhoda.livejournal.com]

here ya go on the DDR clip (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G2HPIV4C).

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

awesome, thank you! they really are just too pretty. mm.

[sheilapiglet.livejournal.com]

high speed batting cage?..when was this?..I want to watch!=)

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

darkeyedwolf just put up a pimp post for KAT-TUN like yesterday, and it's one of the clips in the links she has up entitled "the best of dumb Jin". It was a couple minutes into that collection.

[sheilapiglet.livejournal.com]

mmm...can't seem to find it..hehe..will u be able to post a link to it?..thanks!=)

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

the post is here (http://darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com/179856.html), and the file itself is here (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CA0KM9FX). :)

[sheilapiglet.livejournal.com]

wow..thanks!...she definately made a great long post with tons of kattun goodies..haha=)

[shabzilla.livejournal.com]

I'm kinda dewy eyed at the thought of an English version of Junon.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

i know, RIGHT?! I'm surprised there isn't at least one english language idol magazine! We should...i'm not sure exactly what. make whiny demands in our blogs!

oh wait, i have that covered :|

*loves on your icon*

[shabzilla.livejournal.com]

Hahaha I do the whiny demanding for fellow Jfans, if I start for the Jmags people may hurt me.

I love on it too! And arashiangel for translating the article to us as we sat about and fangirled and hikaruchi for making the icon. *____*!

E-Type--Life (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=B06CCE6C5CE11240)

Cotton-Eyed Joe (techno remix (http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=8365357).

Harajuku - Phantom of the Opera (Techno Remix) (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=EDD9A80D458BF074).

Hinoi Team--IKE IKE (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=23757E941AEBB47B).

Anything by Daft Punk comes to mind too(as does loads of super poppy jpop music like the Hinoi Team). If the Savefile link doesn't work, I'll YSI it to you. It's been acting weird the past couple of days.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

ooh, thanks! The links all worked just fine. the E-Type is really cool! Ramen mentioned Daft Punk too, so i guess i'll have to check it out.

[svz-insanity.livejournal.com]

Also, one last song!

Cascada--Every Time We Touch (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=D55B432205EA6060).

That's been stuck in my head for the past hour.

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

ahahah, i have the best story about that song.

my brother's roommate at college this year HATED it, and the girl right next door had her speakers right against the wall and would play it all the time. So after a while, my brother asked her to send it to him, and when she started it up, my brother would pump it out of his computer as well.

*cackles evilly*

[svz-insanity.livejournal.com]

:D I have Chinese opera and Scottish bagpipe music on my computer just for those special situations I really pity my future roommates in college.

[pixxers.livejournal.com]

That icon made me hurt myself. :D

[yabamena]

You can have the DDR, I'll take the boys. >__>

There you go - some of my favorites. :)

[mousapelli.livejournal.com]

ooh, thank you! I was listening to them when i went to write at the Starbucks this afternoon. I really liked all the Svenson, i hadn't heard of them before.

*dansu*

[pixxers.livejournal.com]

You're welcome; I'm glad you liked them. I remember when I first got into techno, I bugged the hell out of everyone looking for recs and shares, lol. I stumbled onto Svenson pretty recently and loaded up on all that I could find.

If you get low on muzak, just let a sister know - I have tons of good trance.

ramenaddict suggested all the good stuff, but I'll add this video because it's another kickass Daft Punk song AND it has some cool old school anime type stuff in it.

Also, I'm not sure if these are techincally techno but they are still good:

And this one, which is from DDR and it's about Samurais!
