roughly takanori tweeted that he gotten 93 000 followers (he aims for 150 k by next year for his anniversary or something).

and when he reaches 100 000 followers, TAKUYA∞ will get an account as promised, and there's 彰 as witness...

let just hope TAKUYA∞ keeps his promise and doesn't go and protect his tweets :|

oh, don't forget to follow takanori if you haven't!

QUALIA |クオリア| radio-rip

In case you actually totally missed this, クオリア has actually been on air on 19 August 2010 on ROCK KIDS 802.

someone uploaded a pretty decent quality of the song here: youtube it's gone D: here's the mp3 of the song

since I don't have class yesterday, I spent some time trying to romanise クオリア UNofficial lyric.
take a note, that I never learn Japanese formally, so there will be errors and such. I used only online translator, dictionary and my ears to figure it out. BTW, the unofficial lyric, I got it from youtube.

I included some English translation for kanji here because I want to learn! some kanji don't have translation because I know the meaning. If you find any error or have input, please feel free to comment :D

now, let's wait for official lyric... and PV OHMAIGAWD! PV!

****************my thought about the song******************

First time I listened to the song, the impression that I get is pretty much meh ಠ_ಠ

1. my internet sucks, I had a hard time streaming the radio and all I get is LQ sounds with occasionally missing audio.
2. I was really really expecting for a rock song. A gundam song. probably like Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi. CHANGE is pretty awesome too.
3. however, piano part made me :)

after listening to better quality of the song (MULTIPLE TIME that I will get bored with the song before the single, or worst PV, is out ORZ) and have a look at the lyric (though, I can only get it a little, AH need a translation!) my thought of the song changed.

1. It's a nice ballad. and it's not ballady ballad. it's UVERballad! ♡
2. lyric is nice, as usual
3. PIANO ♡
4. TAKUYA's voice ♡
5. some parts are just so addicting...
6. I love the way takuya sings: kokoro~
7. the break part of the song is just so awesome. I have no idea what they used to make the sound (I'm hopeless regarding to music and instruments) but I love it! somewhat it sounds funny and makes me want to laugh XDDD oh that's my quale (singular for Qualia) XDDDD
8. you just can't hate or not liking an UVERsong esp if it's an A-side song :P most UVERsongs take time to grow in me anyway

this song gets my approval! LOL
however, I still can't imagine the song being a Gundam theme song (albeit, an ED song). need to watch the movie first. oh how I wish I can watch the movie when it's out (18 Sept 2010). I just rewatched a few last eps of Gundam S02.

oh this post has become kinda long... and I never post a lyric before. orz
