XD omg i know! it's really. weird. i liked his past singles covers better. like 'HELLO' & 'HORIZON'.

I heard COUNTDOWN today, pretty much just sounds like his '666' material.

boring pv imo. but the song is not bad..though it's nothing new.

i think the song still needs to grow on me, but it does sound like material on his '666' album like ~K+ said. :]

but i haven't seen the PV yet.

i'm currently DLing the 'COUNTDOWN' PV. it's taking forever. ><; but i've been listening to the song a couple times now and i'm starting to like it more and more. =]

and ZOMG:

AWAKE TOUR 2005 DVD
2005年12月14日（水）発売
KSBL 5815 5,040円（tax in）

heck yes. i'm totally buying this.

So soon!?!? AWAKE just came out a little while ago.

:thud

Omg the new version of 'evergreen' rocks, well, infact any version of 'evergreen' rocks. Though if he's performing a rock version of it I'd much prefer him to sing in Japanese instead, as his English is...

And I think I'm warming up to COUNTDOWN a little more now.

^ i agree. the new 'Evergreen' is wonderful! i love it. yeah, i did notice his english isn't as great as in the AWAKE album. :\ ah well.

i saw the CDTV & Music Fighter performances of 'COUNTDOWN' and they were really good! i would upload them, but school's draining so much energy from me right now.

happy belated birthday to tetsu! ^^ boy, school's taking a lot of free time away from me. i'm missing out on a lot of things. :[

and congrats to HYDE for debuting at number 1! =D

i can understand his english too (since i'm good at that type of thing) but i thought it wasn't as clearly pronounced such as his singing in 'AS ONE' or 'Ophelia'. :]

Funny thing is I understood all the english in "AS ONE".

^ I didn't understand all of the English in "AS ONE." .. Just some parts.

I agree that HYDE's English is quite understandable compared to other J-Artists. HYDE's had the experience of being in different countries (like in England for recording of Roentgen) .. :yes

really? i didn't need the booklet to figure out what he was saying in 'AS ONE'. but i guess everyone hears something different. ^^ i also thought his english was very well pronounced in 'Coming Closer'.

but yes. HYDE's english is better than other j-artists. i heard he has an English coach and his friend Anis helps out with lyrics. (he helped out in 666).
