SUGOI!!

[scottishlass]

I'm tired on my feet and we are still not finished with our living-room but at least we are seeing the light ... or maybe only I do :)

Thanks to someone really wonderful (you know who you are) I was able to watch the first half of SMAP Drink! Tour right now and I feel much much better. How come when I saw or listen to them, I always feel better afterwards? It was the same when I took a special selection of SMAP songs to therapy and listened to them while getting the IV, respectively the ray treatment. Right now I'm so hyped up, I could start all over again with the moving of furniture. My back and arms won't probably cooporate, but mentally I'm all psyched up! :)

Thank God it's almost Saturday !!

I always feel better as well, they just have a very grounding effect on me :)

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

It is strange isn't it? :D

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

it is, but I'm so happy that they are around and making me feel better :))

I've got some avi SMAP files, incliding two live concerts - of 2000 and "Birdman". Also - Takuya's solo collection: all well known songs, but + his solo from "La Festa". I haven't seen it before.

Need anything from it or you have it all already?

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

I have the Birdman from 1999 and I have Live S MAP, which is from 2000, right? So I think I have all those files :)
But thank you for thinking of me :)

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

OK. :)

So you've seen "La Festa"'s "HA" solo, too, already? Great! I really love this Takuya's solo, in video i liked it even more than on audio. He performs this song very well.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

I htink I have seen the concert performance on Youtube once. But if you would like to upload it for me, that would be nice :)

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

OK, I'll try to upload it for you this evening. At the same time I'll give a try how this service works at MU. ;)

In fact the whole file is big (about 640 mb), because there is not only "HA" there, but some number of other Takuya's solos of 1992-1999, and the quality of the pic is high enough - not the "YouTube quality" :) But I just don't know how to cut out one song from the whole video. I still didn't learn how to work with video files. It seems this will be the next step in my Inet education. :)

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Making or cutting a video is really easy with Windows as long as it is a avi, wmv or mpeg file. Look for Windows Movie Maker in your Tools. You can load the file in question into the programme and it splits it up in many small preview windows (depending on the cuts in the original video) and there you can put together the appropriate files and convert it again.

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

I have this programm, but don't know how to work with it. When I try to upload the file into the Movie Maker, it only stuck the programm - and finita! It doesn't work. :( Is it me, aho dono, who does something wrong, or this is some problem with the programm or file itself I don't know. :(

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yeah that unfortunately is one of the problems as it uses up so much memory. Best do it when you don't have any other programmes open. It hogs the memory of the computer really bad :-(

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

I'd made one more attempt to tame this Movie Maker programme, but failed again... Alas. :(

So finally I uploaded the whole file as it is, just cut it into 4 parts. Here it is. Enjoy.

Thank you :) Downloading now :)

These solos made me want to watch ALL SMAP concerts so badly :s *sigh* As soon as I have money again I will go on a shopping binge :)

Great that you are on channel SMAP now as well :)

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

/ As soon as I have money again I will go on a shopping binge

Me too. :) I find their concerts highly entertaining. They put me in a good mood.

Great that you are on channel SMAP now

Yeah, I'm very happy to find this place and so many folk that I knew there. In fact, I registered there in december, but I've lost the links, passwords and any other clue of it after that March collapse of my new PC.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

I find their concerts highly entertaining. They put me in a good mood.
Oh yes, absolutely ... and I would like to own all 17 or something concerts they have made over the years. So far I have 8 *lol*

Oh right, I wondered where you have been, because I know we registered at the same time last year. Well good you are back now :)

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

So far I have 8

I still have only 3 of them, but I'm waiting for the Pop Up next week from CD Japan.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Woohoo :) PopUp is good, though I think for me my all time favourite (because it was my first) will always be Smaple Bang! :)

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

Mine next purchase will be MIJ, I suppose.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

OH you'll love it ... they have a totally cute intro :) I only say one word: Thunderbirds (not the car but the Anderson' puppet sci-fi series).

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

I have to confess, I have no clue what these Thunderbirds are. :) I haven't seen these series.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

It was a scifi series from the 1960's for children in England. It had marionettes as protagonists with a certain style ... and you'll find this style again in the intro of MIJ :)
Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbirds_(TV_series))

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Thanks for info! Now, when I get the MIJ disc, I'll watch the show with more understanding.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

It is just the intro, but it is cute :) And quite long (and not subbed :s)

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

BTW, how did it work? It was my first try with MU uploading... Is it OK?

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

It worked beautifully. Everything went just smoothly.

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

Great! Glad to know it. Thanks.

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

I'm planning to make a post with the pics from every song in my LJ and put the links there, too.

This is a strange thing, indeed, with Kimura ans SMAP - getting something new of them I always feel the need to share it with others - to give other folk a chance to know about Takuya-kun and how wonderful he is.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yep me too .. but somehow my flist is much mre disinterested than yours :(

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

2/3 of MY f-list are exactly Kimura, SMAP, dorama or j-pop fans. ;)

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

You lucky woman ... my flist consisted mostly of costumers and Olrando Bloom fans. But since I have given up a fanfic archive for OB RPS, my flist is getting smaller and smaller. Now there are a lot of costumers/crafters and dorama fans on it. Only a handful SMAP fans though. I have yet to find a German SMAP fan the same age as me, most are far younger and move almost immediately on to KAT-TUN and NewS. :s

[rika-66.livejournal.com]

Well, I can understand...
The matter is that I started my LJ only in December 06, and it's purpose, in general was - to find people with thom I could speak about Takuya-kun. :) So from the first steps I was looking for friends exactly in comminities related with him.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yeah so you have a custom-nade flist so to say. Oh well, atm it is a good balance and I have been posting more crafty stuff than SMAP stuff recently anyway :)
