Musiq Review: Genki Rockets - Heavenly Stars


Wonder if you guys noticed the songs that's been featured in my imeem here? Pretty catchy and lively isn't it?

Well, it's all from the same band namely "Genki Rockets". It's a japan base band made up of unamed musical artists. The face of the group is 18-year old Lumi, a fictional girl who was born in space on September 11, 2037 and has never been to Earth. Lumi's voice is synthesized by taking samples from several different female singers.

Genki Rockets is unique in that the band's music videos are almost entirely computer-generated, including the band's one and only lead fictional character, Lumi. The visual art style for the music videos are created by Japan's Glamoove, Inc, and was inspired by Norwegian band, A-ha's "Take on Me" music video.

Most the songs from this band are up-beat, happy and simple songs which is very addictive from time to time.

the lyrics for Heavenly Stars are as follows:
I hear your whispers
surrounded in silence, blue vibration
I hear the waves
singing in the distance, pure isolation
I smile into the distance
far away from you, we're in resolution
I'm dreaming, touching
breathing side by side, dive into the sky

Let's get away, fly away
I found the path to paradise
Shining spiral of gold
Take my hand, find our way out

Heavenly stars above
Just believe what's in your heart
No border between us
I can always feel you inside
Where ever we are

I see you, feel you, I am your creation
Everlasting affection
Life's an endless spiral going round
Yes! We are in love!

Let's get away, fly away
I found the path to paradise
Shining spiral of gold
Take my hand, find our way out

Heavenly stars above
Just believe what's in your heart
No border between us
I can always feel you inside
Where ever we are

Let's get away, fly away
I'm feeling raindrops on my face
Sun shines through the clouds, yeah
Rainbow all around us

I spread my wings, fly away
The wind sweeps me off my feet
Blowing me away
Trees whispering to me
I'm feeling free now

Lets get away, fly away
I found the path to paradise
Shining spiral of gold
Take my hand, find our way out

Heavenly stars above
Just believe what's in your heart
No border between us
Nothing can divide us
Where ever we are

Retro Review: The Cosby Show



This show had to be one of the BEST sitcom in TV history for me, I used to watch it while I was young together with Family Ties, The Wonder Years, Small Wonder & Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

You don't see Sitcom nowadays with such witty and funny antics without using sarcasm. Yeah, sitcoms like "That 70's Show" and "Grounded for Life" are pretty funny... BUT! It doesn't deliver much moral values or good examples like sitcoms before (80's-90's) one. And frankly speaking, I don't seem to look for these show after it ended.

The Cosby Show started airing in 1984 and running for eight seasons on the NBC network, until 1992. The show focused on the Huxtable family, an upper-middle class African-American family living in Brooklyn, New York on how they raise their child and how they settle family matters/conflicts with daily life issues.

Having aired for 201 episodes, The Cosby Show is the third-longest running U.S. comedy with a predominantly African-American cast, surpassed only by The Jefferons and Family Matters.

Fact:
Whitney Houston was considered for the role of Sondra Huxtable.
Raven Symone (aka known as Raven Boxter in That's so Raven) had her debut in this series starting season 6.

According to TV Guide, the show "was TV's biggest hit in the 1980s, and almost single-handedly revived the sitcom genre and NBC's ratings fortunes - Taken from Wiki.org.

My rating for this show...... 9/10!

A must watch for retro TV series.
