Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Test

This is a widely well known personality tool since developed in the 1940s. The test is very easy, it just require you to select the 4 different types of letter and there you have your type. Mine is ISTJ (Dominant Introverted Sensing) and I agree 99% with it. If you know which type people belong to, you might find it easier to communicate and understand them in work or personal life. What your type, have you find out?

Favourite Song for Million Star Season 2

It has been a few months since the end of the singing contest show Million Star Season 2. My favourite song for the season will be 流浪记 by 梁文音. Although it's really a pity that she did not win the contest but she has introduced many good songs to me.

This song has indeed touch me deeply maybe because I have the same feelings before. I was struggling my thoughts of being a failure in the society, I do believe I'm good but maybe due to not knowing how to lie or put on a false appearance which lead to failure in life or was it due to people's perception and acceptance of the society and environment. Anyway, I really love the lyrics as below:

我不想因为现实把头低下
我以为我并不差　能学会虚假
怎样才能够看穿面具里的谎话
别让我的真心散的像沙
如果有一天我变得更复杂
还能不能唱出歌声里的Puyuma

Ito Yuna & Celine Dion

It's quite a surprise to see a Japanese artist singing a duet with Celine Dion. One singing in English, the other one in Japanese. Both of them do really have a very good and powerful vocal and thus it's a very enjoyable song. I have always admire Ito Yuna and I hope she will have more solid releases in the future.

First Young American Enka Singer

Jero ( ジェロ), the first black american enka singer to make his name in Japan. The future is going to be very exciting for him since this is only his first single and it's selling very well in Japan.

One More Time One More Chance

Recently, I was watching the latest Japan annual NHK Red White musical show. In the show, there was a tribute to Zard, who passed away last year. I start to think what song I want to listen again after all this years. The first that come to my mind is this song. One More Time One More Chance by Yamazaki Masayoshi 山崎まさよし. I believe everyone have regrets along the way and forgot how to treasure our loved ones until they have left us. When we want to find them again, where will they be? Will we have another time and chance? This song accompany with acoustic guitar will touch your inner emotions, praise must be given to the singer performance too.

Lyrics:

これ以上何を失えば 心は許されるの
Kore ijou nani wo ushinaeba kokoro wa yurusareru no

どれ程の痛みならば もういちど君に会える
Dore hodo no itami naraba mou ichido kimi ni aeru

One more time 季節よ うつろわないで
One more time kisetsu yo utsurowanaide

One more time ふざけあった 時間よ
One more time fuzake atta jikan yo

くいちがう時はいつも 僕が先に折れたね
Kuichigau toki wa itsumo boku ga saki ni oreta ne

わがままな性格が なおさら愛しくさせた
Wagamama na seikaku ga naosara itoshiku saseta

One more chance 記憶に足を取られて
One more chance kioku ni ashi wo torarete

One more chance 次の場所を選べない
One more chance tsugi no basho wo erabenai


いつでも捜しているよ どっかに君の姿を
Itsu demo sagashite iru yo dokka ni kimi no sugata wo

向いのホーム 路地裏の窓
Mukai no hoomu rojiura no mado

こんなとこにいるはずもないのに
Konna toko ni iru hazu mo nai no ni

願いがもしも叶うなら 今すぐ君のもとへ
Negai ga moshimo kanau nara ima sugu kimi no moto e

できないことは もうなにもない
Dekinai koto wa mou nanimo nai

すべてかけて抱きしめてみせるよ
Subete kakete dakishimete miseru yo


寂しさ紛らすだけなら
Sabishisa magirasu dake nara

誰でもいいはずなのに
Dare demo ii hazu na no ni

星が落ちそうな夜だから
Hoshi ga ochisou na yoru dakara

自分をいつわれない
Jibun wo itsuwarenai

One more time 季節よ うつろわないで
One more time kisetsu yo utsurowanaide

One more time ふざけあった時間よ
One more time fuzake atta jikan yo


いつでも捜しているよ どっかに君の姿を
Itsu demo sagashite iru yo dokka ni kimi no sugata wo

交差点でも 夢の中でも
Kousaten demo yume no naka demo

こんなとこにいるはずもないのに
Konna toko ni iru hazu mo nai no ni

奇跡がもしも起こるなら 今すぐ君に見せたい
Kiseki ga moshimo okoru nara ima sugu kimi ni misetai

新しい朝 これからの僕
Atarashii asa kore kara no boku

言えなかった｢好き｣という言葉も
Ienakatta suki to iu kotoba mo


夏の想い出がまわる　
Natsu no omoide ga mawaru
ふいに消えた鼓動
Fui ni kieta kodou

いつでも捜しているよ どっかに君の姿を
Itsu demo sagashite iru yo dokka ni kimi no sugata wo

明け方の街 桜木町で
Akegata no machi sakuragichou de

こんなとこに来るはずもないのに
Konna toko ni kuru hazu mo nai no ni

願いがもしも叶うなら 今すぐ君のもとへ
Negai ga moshimo kanau nara ima sugu kimi no moto e

できないことはもう何もない
Dekinai koto wa mou nanimo nai

すべてかけて抱きしめてみせるよ
Subete kakete dakishimete miseru yo


いつでも捜しているよ
Itsu demo sagashite iru yo

どっかに君の破片を
Dokka ni kimi no kakera wo

旅先の店 新聞の隅
Tabisaki no mise shinbun no sumi

こんなとこにあるはずもないのに
Konna toko ni aru hazu mo nai no ni

奇跡がもしも起こるなら 今すぐ君に見せたい
Kiseki ga moshimo okoru nara ima sugu kimi ni misetai

新しい朝 これからの僕
Atarashii asa kore kara no boku

言えなかった｢好き｣という言葉も
Ienakatta suki to iu kotoba mo


いつでも捜してしまう どっかに君の笑顔を
Itsu demo sagashite shimau dokka ni kimi no egao wo

急行待ちの 踏切あたり
Kyuukou machi no fumikiri atari

こんなとこにいるはずもないのに
Konna toko ni iru hazu mo nai no ni

命が繰り返すならば 何度も君のもとへ
Inochi ga kurikaesu naraba nandomo kimi no moto e

欲しいものなど もう何もない
Hoshii mono nado mou nanimo nai

君のほかに大切なものなど
Kimi no hoka ni taisetsu na mono nado
