iPod Meme

Instructions: Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING.

The facts of my iPod: 6.58GB of songs, 1176 tracks.

My iTunes itself has more, I just haven’t transferred them over…anyway, lets start!

I think it’s more fun if you hear the songs that I get. They wont all be Japanese boybands…probably…
1 – How does the world see you?
Arashi – truth (Instrumental)

Haha. It had to be! Of course when people think of me, they think of Arashi! As for “truth” itself, it’s a song about obsession and mystery. The lyrics are dark…but this is the instrumental, which is a really fun piece of music! It’s dramatic, great to dance to and was the first karaoke song I did in Japan. So I think its a good choice. Besides, Aiba-kun’s backing vocals are really striking! <3
2 – Will I have a happy life?
An Cafe – Escapism (Shikisai ver.)

Oh God. I don’t listen to An Cafe, seriously, I don’t! (-_-;) Well….maybe just a little bit… I like this song though! It’s not too… Oshare-kei…is it? And that’s the only video I could find with the correct version of the song. Which is also embarrassing…oh well. Unfortunately the song obsesses over a lost love and the speaker sinks into a haze of sex and drugs… But if I had lots of sex and drugs, it would probably be a very happy life!

3 – What do my friends really think of me?
Super Junior – Wonder Boy

This just gets more humiliating, but at least they’re not Japanese this time! Korean (and one Chinese). I think this is fairly fitting. High energy, fun, not too serious but with a good message in its heart. And look at the 13 members dancing so nicely together in the video!

4 – Do people secretly lust after me?
Gackt – Redemption

Oh yes! I have some fierce Gackt-like admirer it seems. Unfortunately I might be dead though. But at least Gackt loves me! Or Vincent Valentine…this song is from his spin-off game. It’s especially cool if my secret admirer is vengeful and angst-filled. Then I can come back and give him…redemption!
5 – How can I make myself happy?
Big Bang – Haru Haru

Now that’s a strange one to interpret…The lyrics directly reflect the way I have respond to every relationship failure in my life. It’s not a good reaction and never makes me feel any better. I could probably make myself happy if I acted differently. Or, at least I could have done…but it’s in the past. ALTERNATIVELY, we can interpret this as “Listening to Big Bang is the way to make Siobhán happy!” and it certainly is
6 – What should I do with my life?
Gackt – Arittake no Ai de

That’s nice. The song is about wanting nothing but to comfort and protect the one you love. To wrap them up forever and keep them safe from all the bad things in the world. I can’t think of a better way to spend my life. And Gackt is soooo cute in the video!!! “Dame, dame…”!
7 – Will I ever have children?
Super Junior – Rokkugo!!!

As this is possibly the most childish song ever, I should think so! The title is the Korean word for “backwards” spelled backwards. Every line is a palindrome so most of the song is complete nonsense. The style of music is trot, which was popular in Korea in the 80s and is associated with parents these days. All in all, things look good for my kids. Watch the video, it’s hilarious! Heechul looks so good as a woman!
7 – What is some good advice for me?
Sugizo and The Spank Your Juice – Super Love

I should find my Super Love? I’m bloody trying you know! Or maybe I should dress in a pimped out white suit like Sugizo and rock out…yeah!
8 – How will I be remembered?
KAT-TUN – Lips

That’s fair enough, I’m a great kisser

9 – What is my signature dancing song?
Hey! Say! JUMP – Your Seed

Well, unless it had the words “Seishun” and “Amigo” in the title, this was never going to be right. But “Your Seed” is a good call! Look at the moves in the video!  The kung fu-ness is fantastic. Yeah, I can work this.

10 – What do I think is my current theme song?
Arashi – Ashita ni Mukatte

Ahahahaha! I can’t believe this came up! This was an Arashi song that I never listened to much before a couple of weeks ago. Since then I can’t get it out of my head, especially the “I’M SO FEEL!” chorus. Sure the best mis-use of the English language ever? This answer is spot on. Just listen to the first 40 seconds or so ^
11 – What does everyone think my current theme song is?
Miyavi – Kabuki Boys

Fair enough, if you read my last blog then you know I’m obsessed with kabuki. And I love Miyavi, especially this song. This is another good answer!
12 – What song will play at my funeral?
Lee Hyori – U-Go-Girl

Hah, ok, why not. That would be hilarious! Gives a new meaning to “you go girl” anyway. And I’d like to go out with a bang so the attitude and energy in the song would be great. Can you dress me in Hyori’s outfit and have backing dancers too? And Nassun doing the rap??? This will be the greatest funeral ever!!!
13 – What type of men / women do you like?
ON/OFF – Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi

This is so unbelievably true. The group are a Japanese boyband, specifically they’re hot twins.The song is the theme tune to season one of Vampire Knight. And you know me and vampires. Kaname-sama, Kiriyuu-kun, Idol-senpai, Akatsuki, Ichijo, Shiki…Kaien! Ichiru! Argh! Too many to choose from! I kind of like Rima and Ruka too so the men/women thing is spot on
14 – What is my day going to be like?
Rain – Love Story

Oh. That’s a bit depressing. Another song about missing a lost love. It starts at 1.25 on the video. But I do loooooooooove this song. And I do looooooooooove Rain oppa sooooooooo much! So probably I’ll spend the whole day watching “Full House”, the drama he did a few years ago. Ok, I hereby declare it “Rain Day”!
