I need to learn the Anataboshi dance. Period. I also am dying to get my hands on those awesome tambourines. Kirarin Revolution needs to come to the US just so I can get those toys. And, Anataboshi is an amazing single. So catchy, I WANT.

New Obsessions
March 23, 2008
Lately, I’ve really gotten into Metronome and FLOPPY. I’ve listened to Metronome before after I discovered the song Isshukan on youtube, but I sorta got over them after I couldn’t find any of their songs online. Well, I did find a very limited number, so I put those on my ipod. So for the last few days I started listening the songs on m ipod again, mainly I AM PROGRAM, which amazing. The I thought it could hurt to look again online, and low and behold I found like all of their songs. So Happy! I love hello, zetsubousan, isshukan(of course), and random other songs. Then there’s FLOPPY, which also has Sharaku from Metronome as the vocalist. Yet another band discovered on youtube. I can not get enough of their song helter skelter, it is crazy addictive. So yeah, there’s my weekend of Metronome/FLOPPY obsession.
