I have to tell you guys something: I am so, so disappointed that this album was not called Platinum 9 DISCO. Do you have any idea how many John Travolta jokes were wasted? SIIIGH. (I realize that I spend most of my time in this here blog complaining about everything. I…should probably rectify that.)

Anyway. Read more »

WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS SERIOUS BUSINESS. CHIAKII ACTUALLY SITS HER ASS DOWN AND TALKS ABOUT HER FEELINGS. JUST A WARNING.

Well, 2008 is winding down. We’re getting ready for 2009. I can’t think of anything important that will be happening to me personally in 2009. I might get my learners’ permit or something. (I’m sure that’s such a good idea. Set Chiakii loose on the roads of San Francisco.)

However! Some blogs are choosing to honor the artists that they felt brought the awesome this year. Some are writing long, heartfelt posts about how 2008 did/didn’t live up to their expectations. Everyone will look back at pengie’s predictions for 2008 and see whether or not they came true.

But I’m not those blogs! Instead, I’m going to wrap up 2008 in dialogue format and be rude about all the releases I secretly loved. Because I am a bitch.

I actually did something like this in 2007. I called it “2007 in a Nutshell” (because I’m so creative). I didn’t finish it in time. Pity, too. There were quite a few gems in there.

So, Soap Bubble brings you…2008 in a Nutshell!

* Note: I really don’t remember half of what happened this year. And frankly, I don’t care about half of the stuff that did. Just warning you, in case something epic happened in August that skipped over. Read more »

SO. Ongaku Gatas was formed and they released a single called “Narihajimeta Koi no BELL”. Then they released a single called “Yattarouze!”, a fairly mediocre album called “1st GOODSAL” and now Manoeri’s graduating.

I could care less. Read more »
