LV&TK PV with Mariah Carey RMX
Brought to you by Watanabe service, this center differential will eliminate the front diff and send 100% of the power to your rear wheels! Better than welding your rear diffs? I don’t really know, but i usually don’t like welding stuff together that was meant to be spinning… Anywhoo, you can order them online on RHDjapan.com. However, I’m not sure how different the gearboxes are from the USDM counterparts =( . They also include a front axle “Drive shaft canceler,” which allows you to remove your front driveshafts and cover that gaping hole you left over with a shiny cover. Watanabe Service Check out link for pictures of the drift center diffs. The photos of the impreza below are courtesy of GP Sports, its FR conversion specs are still a mystery to me.
Nujabes
Pronounced [New-Jah-Bess], this amazing DJ out of Japan, not quite sure of his exact hometown so i’ll just be general and say he’s from the Great land of the rising sun–my sincerest apologies. So I promised to do a feature, ahem, more like a video feature of one of his works. Most of you who’ve heard of Nujabes probably discovered his timeless talent from watching Samurai Champloo–a fricken sick samurai anime might I add. His slick, simple beats hits you in a renewing and fresh way, like a rainstorm clearing out a city’s stagnant musk that’s been accumulating for months–pardon my lame analogy, it’s all i could think up of at the moment. But it does lead into my next point, which is listening to his songs during a rainy day is the most soothing thing you could ever do on a rainy day, lol. So please give it a listen, and enjoy!
Ryuichi Sakamoto
Let me tell you, his piano compositions are so emotional that it will almost make you weep right there on the spot. He puts so much power and emotion into every tone and note; allowing it to soothe your being as it charmingly radiates through the air, into your ears, and flows deep down into your soul. Sakamoto-san will definitely be, now and forever, my inspiration, idol, and healer. I wish I could post all of his performances but that will just clutter my blog and slow down the loading time. Without further ado, Ryuichi Sakamoto, “Koko.”
Please also check out “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” by Sakamoto-san.
Shing02
I never was into hip-hop/rap music until I heard some music produced by Shing02 and Nujabes. Their simple beats along with their repertoire of pure melody and vocals, create such an amazing, soulful, and unique sound that makes their songs so easy to listen to and lures your inner musician out like nothing else! It’s a blend of smooth jazz with contemporary hip-hop that’ll give you a relaxed and carefree feeling. Definitely worth listening too if you’re into that kind of stuff. Here’s a feature of Shing02’s, “Love you like Water.” I’ll do a feature on Nujabes sometime next week; so enjoy this for now. ; )
Justice
I love Justice! Went to go see them in March 2008 at the Ogden Theatre but didn’t make it to their concert at Red Rocks–heard their equipment was malfunctioning and so they had to stop short, so hopefully they’ll come back and melt our brains into madness!!! But I wanted to post this picture by my lucky friend who went to Red Rocks; up close and center!! Lighting is just perfect…drool…
