Raid wants me to go insane.

He has a post about what voices he would marry. Yes, only the voice.

The thought of marrying only a voice is truly a horrifying one to me. A disembodied voice could theoretically follow you wherever you went. You could not escape it. Furthermore, if you got into an argument with your vocal spouse - think of how insane you’d appear. Oh, you could try to tell the men in white that you are not crazy; that you are just married to a voice. That’ll get you far. In the end, you’d be locked in a room with padded walls, rocking back and forth as you argue with your spouse (who only you can talk to and hear) about who left the milk out on the kitchen table.

That being said, if I am going to go insane, I’d like to do it with the following:

- Orson Welles. I can’t be the only person who has wanted Orson Welles to narrate their life. My boring life would be poetic and interesting if Orson was dictating.

- Sou Matsumoto. Of Going Under Ground. His voice isn’t that strong and powerful type. It’s not sultry or sensuous. It is just pleasant on my ears. If I were to delve into insanity by being married to a voice that only I could hear, I wouldn’t mind it being his.

- Bonnie Pink. Again, not the best singing voice or anything. It’s not sexy or booming. It’s just that right flavor or pleasant that I’d be fine with for the rest of my days.

- Randy Savage. As in Macho Man Randy Savage. Come on, that’d be GREAT. If I want Orson Welles to make my life more poetic, I’d want Randy to make it absolutely insane. Because he’d take me to The Danger Zone, east of the Pacific Ocean, west of London, England, south of Mars, and north of Hell.

- Koharu Kusumi. If I am going to go out, I am going out IN STYLE.

I just realized that there’d be no backing out of this marriage. In a divorce, all the voice could take would be half of your brain. I’ve already lost so much of that watching Haromoni -I can’t afford to lose anymore.

2007: GAM
2008: C-ute

When it happens, you can all call it the Rakuten Eagles Curse.

* Morning Musume doesn’t count since The Manpower was A) not intended for the baseball team, B) did not have Rakuten Eagles in the title and C) would ruin my theory.

My guesses as to how:

1 - Chisato Okai pulls out a knife in the middle of a concert and finally cuts a solo line. In who is debatable.

2 - Erika Umeda gets caught in a scandal and rocks the foundation of the unit - haha, yah right.

3 - Japan gets sick of teenage girls - haha, yah right.

4 - Airi becomes a full-time member of Buono. What something that could seriously happen?

5 - Either Maimi or Mai is getting pregnant, or both - and potentially with the same baby daddy.

Leah Dizon saying “Lovu Paradoxu.” Seriously?

How the hell can you have a pink rainbow?

Sometimes I wonder about what’d it be like if I was truly the star of my own Truman Show. I think I’d rather not find out if that were the case. I’d be pretty embarrassed to know that millions upon millions of people were watching me dancing to Perfume and acting out BOTH of the parts to Paradise By The Dashboard Light.

Thankfully, I know that this can’t be the case, because the show had long been canceled. Unless my producers were the Haromoni producers. In that case, I hope you all enjoy the performance of Under Pressure that I’m about to do…

There is a LJ community dedicated to the sharing of Oregon Trail log that apparently was inspired by this TLS entry.

This is great on many levels.

- I can self-promote.

- I lol’d at Hello!Project being called a Japanese pop organization.

- This person is apparently a big Boston Red Sox fan, which is also right up my alley. Speaking of which, I am going to Opening Day at Fenway Park this year. I can’t wait.

- Having a Jacoby Ellsbury icon makes it even better as I glance at the Jacoby Ellsbury poster that is on my wall right now.

Fine song - doesn’t amaze me on the level of Electro World, but what does?
