Lyrics to MISS by Kevin Kaho Tsui

It’s been a long time since I’d last seen your face
Waking up I’m only huggin’ my pillow case
You tried your best to explain
Darling those lame excuses just ain’t working out

Ever since I left you, you look different to me
Accept the fact that you have changed well I guess it’s reality
Photos of you and him are the reasons my heart is aching
It’s not your fault of course coz I just can’t let go

I miss you by my side,
I miss you all the time,
I’m missing your kiss, your eyes and your smile ~

I wish God would let me jump into a time machine
Perhaps this time we’ll understand how it all began
I wanna see you more than ever words can’t explain
Some might say I can’t resist, some might I’m just insane

Ever since I left you, you look different to me
Accept the fact that you have changed well I guess it’s reality

I miss you by my side,
I miss you all the time,
I’m missing your kiss, your eyes and your smile ~

Well the letter has been sent,
Someday we’ll meet again.
Don’t say goodbye
Let’s give it a try ~

The FP Trailer

The FP Trailer

The trailer for The FP has been released. Look for Art Hsu as KC/DC in the trailer for the film. Here’s a synopsis of the film:

Accompanied by his brother JTRO, Beat-Beat Revelation champion BTRO must compete for the pride of their hometown, Frazier Park (The FP). His opponent: ruthless fighter and trash talker, L Dubba E. L Dub not only defeats BTRO, he sends him to an early grave. L Dub’s instant climb to power has forced The FP to fall into disarray. Crazed with anger, JTRO vows revenge. After a crash course in the ancient techniques of Beat-Beat from master BLT, JTRO challenges L Dubba E. Their battle to the finish, born of lust, power and revenge, will leave only one man standing.

Art Hsu’s gotten some good press for his role. Here’s a few of them:

Twitchfilm

Particular standouts include Art Hsu, who throws so much exuberant goofiness into his arcane slang-talk that it’s tough not to chuckle…

CHUD

…while Art Hsu stands out as the hilarious sidekick KCDC. Hsu is one of those rare actors that push genuine heart onto the screen and it still remain visible through all of the irony..

UGO

… KC/DC, played with high energy insanity by the miraculous Art Hsu. Everything this guy says is funny. I can’t wait for this movie to get its release, just so I can hear the YouTube mashups of KC/DC’s lines. When Art Hsu looks you in the eye and calls you a “knucklefluffing whatchamacallit” there’s no way you remain uninspired…

The film is already being billed as a cult classic. The FP just debuted at SXSW, but look for the film near you soon.

Lyrics to Thoughts by Michael Carreon

Verse 1
you and i have been drivin for miles now
it aint no thing we been friends for a awhile now
i love how we kick it and we do it all the time
and i love every minute livit like we both were dyin now
we both said that wed stay friends forever
and everyone asks me when well ever get together
and what i say back
is that its not like that

Chorus

Id rather be your friend
than your nothin at all
thats why i cant tell you
how i really feel
i dont wanna risk it all
my thoughts
will remain thoughts

Verse 2

I believe we can be the epitome
of two in love i believe in possibilities
and were just best friends but the chemistry says to me
that were in love and meant to be
and you might feel the same or the opposite
or you might feel a little or a lot of it
or you might be
waiting for me

Chorus

Verse 3

I seen you at the top and i seen you at the bottom
and it breaks my heart to hear you talk about your guys problems
so i keep my options open even though my thoughts are broken
and all these thoughts keep pokin my emotions i keep hopin
that one day ill ask you and you ll say “finally”
or maybe one day ill pass you and you wont say hi to me
or lie to me say bye to me or tell me that your vibin me
and all of these thoughts keep eatin whats inside of me
you sleep on my lap and i sleep on your bed and its no big deal to your mom and your dad
cause i stay on my side and you stay on yours
and they know were just friends they even let yo close the door
and the more that im with you the more that i wanna
go through all the drama and finally tell my momma
that i told her that i love her and i know that theres no other
after all they say that best friends make the best lovers

Lyrics to Ode To Nujabes by Funky DL

Verse One

Chilling in my bedroom it’s morning, I’ve not long woke up
Heard a ring, ring so I picked my telephone up
Who’s this? “Sebajun”, who? “Call me Nujabes”
“Looking for a rapper for my beats thinking you the best
Choice from the UK do you have email?”
“I’mma send a couple of my beats and some details”
“Want you here in Tokyo, get you in the studio”
“Got you on the airfare”, bank wire sent the doe
June 10th 1999 at the airport
First time to Japan so I had to clear my thoughts
Ready for a lyrical assault that’s when I get the
Beat from Nujabes for Don’t Even Try It
Plus four more, we record three in a day
Unstoppable plus the track People Don’t stray
Me and L Universe spitting on an unreleased
Part one done Nujabes San rest in peace

Chorus

Big up my man Nujabes
Big up my man Nujabes
Big up my man Nujabes [he make the beat knock]
Big up my man Nujabes

Verse Two

June 23rd 2000 and I’m back on Japanese ground
Five more tracks, Not Yet Known, Slow Down
Plus a few more now I’m at the Guinness record store
Nujabes got more breaks than I ever saw
Said he ordered just a few of Jay-Z’s “Hard Knock”
But so much of mine and he so loved Starbucks
Then we both went on tour yellow in Tokyo,
Fukuoka, Wakayama and Sapporo
Club I to I in Osaka and Kyoto
Gifu, Mito, Nagoya it was so dope
Then he came to London and I showed him all my best breaks
Chilling in the restaurant eating up the best steak
Then I said goodbye at the terminal at Heathrow
He was enigmatic so incognito
He was my people chilling in the Far East
Part two done Nujabes San rest in peace

Chorus

Verse Three

August 14th, 15th / 2010 club unit
Hydeout, Nujabes tribute we doing it
Cise Star, Fat Jon, Pace Rock, Funk D
Emancipator, Substantial, Apani
Got to give a shout to my main man Takumi
Seiji, Segawa, the show really moved me
Moved us Nujabes loved and respected
So many people’s lives were affected by his music
One in a million
Worldwide fans grown men young children
Spread the word let the whole movement increase
Part three done Nujabes San rest in peace

Chorus

Officially Missing You by JohnnyPhlo x Schoolboy Duke

Lyrics to

[Verse 1]
Yea, I miss you, girl, officially
그냥 그렇다고, and I wonder if you missin’ me
운전 할 때 내 얼굴을 만져주던 손
심심한 내 오른손을 잡아주던 손
그 모든게 그리워
너의 흔적에 두리번 두리번거리다
가슴이 저려 술을 드리부어
나 지금 아파, 날 떠난 너는 나빠
떨어져 있을 뿐이지 내 맘은 아직 같아
I’ma open up, since we been broken up
너에게 불러주던 love songs, 다시는 못불러
cuz I end up chokin’ up, 니 생각에
억지로 웃어봐.. 주위사람 모두 이상하대
우리 사랑얘기, 이제는 내 가슴 속에 묻은 story
한번만 더 듣고 싶은 너의 웃음 소리
but all I hear is rain drops, wonder when the pain stops
thought i had the key to your heart, I guess you changed locks

[Chorus]
Oh can’t nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I’m officially

[Verse 2]
너무 힘들어, 안 아픈 척, 괜찮은 척, 밝은 척
웃기지도 않은 얘기에 일부로 막 웃어
다시 볼 자신이 없는 핸드폰 사진들
지울 수가 없어, 멀리하는 사진첩
머리엔 맴돌아도 다신 할 순 없는 말
널 사랑한단 말, 널 위해 산단 말
아무리 웃고 있어도 눈물이 난다
이별과 사랑이 있다면 넌 나의 반댓말
시간이 약이라면, maybe I need to overdose
친구들은 많은데 still feelin’ lonely though
수 많은 여자들 다 만나봤자 모해
별짓을 다 해봐도 너 하나 잊지 못해
겉으로는 이별에 쿨한 멋쟁이
사실은 보고싶다고 인정 못하는 겁쟁이
Wanna be with you, with you, baby girl
돌아와 I could still change your world

[Bridge]
나에겐 너 하나뿐인 걸
너때매 아파 하는걸
널 잊는 일 따위 하기 싫어
난 아직 널 사랑하는 걸
Right now 내게 돌아와
이제 날 위해 뒤를 돌아봐
I’m officially missing you

[Chorus]
Oh can’t nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I’m officially

——————————————————————

TRANSLATION

[Verse 1 – Translation]
Yea, I miss you, girl, officially
Just sayin.. and I wonder if you missin’ me
the hands that caressed my face while I was drivin’
the hands that held onto my right hand
I miss that, so I look around for traces of you
then I can’t take the pain so I start pourin’ down the liquor
I’m hurtin’ right now, you left me heartbroken
we’re just separated but my heart’s still the same
imma open up, since we been broken up
I can’t sing the love songs i sang to you
cuz I end up chokin up from the thoughts of you
i try to smile, but people tell me i got a broken smile
…our love story, the story I buried in my heart…
just once more, I wish I can hear you laugh
but all I hear is rain drops, wonder when the pain stops
thought I had the key to your heart I guess you changed locks

[Chorus]
Oh can’t nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I’m officially

[Verse 2 – Translation]
it’s hard to pretend… like it doesn’t hurt, like i’m okay, like I’m happy
i laugh hard at things that ain’t even funny
I can’t look at the pictures on my phone
so I can’t even erase’em, I stay away from the photo album
I still think of these things but I can’t tell you
that I love you, that I live for you
I try to smile but can’t stop the tears
We’re on opposite ends on this relationship
If time is the medicine, maybe I need to overdose
I got a lot of friends, still feelin’ lonely though
What’s the point of meeting all these different girls?
I tried everything but I can’t get you outta my head
On the surface, I look like I’m takin’ it well
but inside, I’m just a coward and can’t admit I miss you
Wanna be with you, with you, baby girl
Come back, I could still change your world

[Bridge – Translation]
You’re the only one for me
I’m hurtin cuz of you
Ain’t no reason to get over this
Cuz I’m still lovin’ you
Come back to me right now, look behind you
I’m officially missing you

[Chorus]
Oh can’t nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I’m officially
