Two shameless attention seekers announced their recording debuts yesterday. Comedian Razor Ramon HG (30), whose Hard Gay character made probably the biggest splash in the variety circuit last year, said he'll be releasing his first single on February 8. Not too surprisingly, it'll be a cover of Saijo Hideki's "Young Man", itself a cover of the Village People hit "YMCA". He also unveiled his latest catchphrase, "Wasshoi!" Somewhat less appealing is the idea of Horie Takafumi (33), CEO of IT company Livedoor, and his new band. Horiemon likes to use the expression "souteigai" (thinking outside the box) and so has provisionally used that as the name of the band. They are said to be working on a mini-album of 80s-style pop due for release in March. Unfazed by the failure of his attempts to buy a baseball franchise and a major TV network and get elected to the Diet, Horie has become a regular on the variety circuit and seems willing to do anything for publicity.
Ichiro (32) proved an able villian but was no match for Furuhata Ninzaburo. The Seattle Mariners superstar made his acting debut Wednesday, playing himself in the second segment of a 3-night special that pitted three major names against the popular detective, played by Tamura Masakazu (62). The show got a very impressive 27% audience rating in the Kanto area. Other stars in the special included Fujiwara Tatsuya and Matsushima Nanako. Tamura has said he'll be retiring from the role.

Lyrics: Everlasting (BoA)
The remaining snow on the roadside trees, are blown away in the light. Even if I'm filled with pride or looking down at myself, I can't stop the seasons from changing.
Just like pinky swearing, or saying phrases like "bye" or "see you". How can you forget these familiar gestures? Are we headed to different futures?
If this farewell is the beginning of a journey, I'll smile as much as I can for you. Even the fact that we met and the streets we've walked will remain in our hearts.
I'll never, ever forget, even if I open countless doors. It doesn't matter how far apart we are, Our locked hands will never separate.
I have to forget you even if I have to force myself or I won't be able to face the rest of my own journey. As the train starts to move away from the platform you become small.
When I was in pain, for my sake, you told me it would be all right through my tears. I will be stronger so that I won’t feel embarrassed, So promise me that our dreams will come true.
My silent tears are pouring out of my heart but I'll take a step forward without regrets. I'm sorry for your tenderness, until I see you once again

Lyrics of the day: HERO (Mr. Children) Words and Music : Sakurai Kazutoshi
Supposing that the world could be saved by one person giving their life in exchange, I would be the man who waits until someone else has volunteered
All those dear to me have made me a coward.
I don't expect to be like my idols whose actions an mannerisms I imitated as a child. But I'd like to be a hero, just for you, to reach a hand out to you, when you stumble or fall.
To make an awful movie more exciting they casually kill off people on screen. But they're wrong, what we want to see is a light full of hope.
they slightly smaller hand in my hand silently melts away the gloom in my heart.
The many spices that one needs to really taste life's full course are prepared for everyone. Sometimes they're bitter and you'll think the taste astringent, and then you'll eat your last desert with a smile. I want to be next to you.
Through the cruel passage of time, surely even I've become adult enough. I'm not sad, and it doesn't hurt just having kept going, and keeping going is enough to make me happy, is precious.
I always want to be a hero, just for you, there's nothing mysterious about it, at this point there's nothing to hide. But I want to be a hero, just for you. To reach a hand out to you, when you stumble or fall.

Hope everyone started 2006 off on the best foot. All the best of luck to you in this next year!

VST Lyrics of the day:Ayumi Hamasaki
The lovers, seemingly happy, hold hands and walk. It looks like everything is going perfectly, but only they know the truth.
At the first phone call, the hand with which I held the reciever trembled. At the second call a message was left on my machine. At the seventh call we decided to meet. It all began on that ordinary day.
The lovers, seemingly happy, hold hands and walk. It looks like everything is going perfectly, but. only they know the truth.
At the 10th call we went far away together. As we held hands and walked, I felt a little shy.
And the nights flew by. On the way home, in the car, we kissed.
I love the white, shining snow. Nevertheless, we were separated last year. This winter, we'll try together. Will we make it? Can I say? The Merry Christmas I couldn't say before.
How many times have we tried to take off the rings shining on our ring fingers?
The lovers, seemingly happy, hold hands and walk. It looks like everything is going perfectly, but no one knows the truth.
We hope everyone is having a happy holiday so far! Enjoy the update. We did!

14 days until Christmas! Happy Holidays from everyone at VST
Lyrics of the day: Istuka no Merry Christmas (B'z)
The lamps of December have begun to light up slowly And everyone without exception start liking the busily dancing city
I ran and made it to the store before it closed and bought the stool that you longed for Hugging it, inside the subway, I felt happiness all over me.
I felt that we're always going to be together with our hands in each other's While everything is sparkling brightly, I run after my dream freely
There will be a day when we share happiness or or unhappiness, or all of it Thinking about it, I had a smile on my face On that blurred colorful Merry Christmas once upon a time.
I sang all the way while walking along the path Closer to home, I started to walk faster When I opened the door I saw you busily preparing our dinner
Proudly I showed you your present And you are pleased from the heart Seeing your happy face, once again, I couldn't resist hugging you
I felt that we're always gonna be together with our hands in each other's While everything is sparkling brightly, I run after my dream freely It was the first time ever that I start to feel afraid about losing you I truly realized what loving someone really means On that Merry Christmas once upon a time
While watching lights illuminating our room "Let's never ever be parted" I said And soon afterwards, not knowing clearly why, I was suddenly in tears
Standing by myself now, all around me are people who walk by fast Everyone hugging presents with such happy faces.
