Boys Like Girls

Hey guys! this time, i wanna post about "Boys Like Girls"!! yeah! I really like this band, so i'm a fan of them. their songs are awesome, so they are ;)

Boys Like Girls is an American rock band from Massachusetts. Formed in 2005, the group gained mainstream recognition when it released its self-titled debut album. Boys Like Girls was the co-headliner with Good Charlotte for the Soundtrack of Your Summer Tour 2008 that toured across the United States. The group's second studio album Love Drunk, was released on September 8, 2009.

Stylistically, the band lists its musical influences as a variety of contemporary,emo pop, punk, and alternative rock bands, such as Jimmy Eat World, Blink-182, Secondhand Serenade, Relient K, The Academy Is..., Kelena, and Dashboard Confessional. While these tendencies are clearly audible in guitarwork and drumming, punk rock influences are far less obvious as far as vocal patterns and lyricism are concerned. Given Johnson's characteristic tenor vocal melodies—which are, due to sporadically placed falsettos, at times reminiscent of Tyson Ritter's (of The All-American Rejects fame)[citation needed]—the band's all-around sound is geared to late '90s alternative radio rock, along the lines of Vertical Horizon, Goo Goo Dolls, and Eve 6.

While the online community precipitately crowned Boys Like Girls "2006's Fall Out Boy" (in reference to the pop punk band's commercial success with 2005's From Under the Cork Tree),album sales were less convincing. Despite promotional front page features (such as Spin's "Artist of the Day" or the highly influential Absolutepunk.net's "Featured Band" and "Absolute Exclusive: Album Leak"), Boys Like Girls scanned a mere 1,472 units within its first week of sales, thus failing to chart the Billboard 200. However, continuous touring and promoting helped gaining the record a No. 179 entry into the chart in April 2007. It continued to gain popularity as the single, "The Great Escape", climbed the charts and eventually peaked at No. 55 in August 2007. After nearly falling off the Billboard 200, the re-release of the single "Hero/Heroine" jumped the album back up to No. 61 and was certified Gold shortly after.

Resep Onigiri

Onigiri adalah nama Jepang untuk makanan berupa nasi yang dipadatkan sewaktu masih hangat sehingga berbentuk segi tiga, bulat, atau seperti karung beras. Dikenal juga dengan nama lain Omusubi, istilah yang kabarnya dulu digunakan kalangan wanita di istana kaisar untuk menyebut Onigiri. Onigiri dimakan dengan tangan, tidak memakai sumpit.



Di Indonesia, Onigiri bisa dijumpai di bagian makanan Jepang toko swalayan terkemuka dan di restoran yang menyediakan makanan Jepang. Di negeri Tiongkok, Onigiri dikenal dengan nama fàntuán

Cara membuat :

1. Siapkan "nori (rumput laut kering)", bentuknya seperti kertas dan warnanya hitam serta rasanya asin, ukuran sesuai selera, nori umumnya hanya dijual di supermarket yang lengkap

2. Siapkan nasi yang siap dimakan, diusahakan masih hangat agar mudah di bentuk, onigiri paling pas dengan memakai beras "japonica" dari Jepang, sedangkan beras yang dimakan di negara-negara Asia Tenggara adalah beras jenis Indica. Nasi yang ditanak dari beras Japonica mudah melekat satu sama lainnya sehingga mudah dibentuk menjadi Onigiri. tidak ada nasi biasa juga bisa

3. Sebelum membuat Onigiri, kedua belah tangan harus dibasahkan dengan air matang agar nasi tidak melekat di tangan. Onigiri dibentuk oleh kedua telapak tangan yang diberi garam dapur, sedangkan garam yang menempel di permukaan telapak tangan diratakan penyebarannya dengan gerakan seperti mencuci tangan.

4. Siapkan isi Onigiri, Untuk ini bisa beragam sesuai selera:
- ikan, mau di bakar, di goreng, ditumis, direbus terserah yang penting dagingnya dan gak bertulang serta jangan masukkan tulang.

- ayam, mau di bakar, di goreng, ditumis, direbus terserah yang penting dagingnya dan gak bertulang serta jangan masukkan tulang.

- telur, mau digoreng atau direbus bisa

- sayur, kalau suka, jangan dgn kuahnya


Cara pembuatan:
- Dgn alat bantu
masukkan nasi kedalam cetakkan onigiri, 1/3 dari cetakkan
kemudian masukkan bahan atau isi onigiri
setelah itu masukkan nasi lagi kedalam cetakkan
cetak, setelah di cetak lapisi dgn nori(ukuran sesuai selera)

- Dgn tanpa alat bantu (bersyukurlah kalau nasinya gak panas/hangat)
tips: dianjurkan memakai plastik sarung tangan untuk menjamin ke higienisan onigiri dan kebaikan tanganmu dari panasnya nasi)

- Nasi taruh dikepalan tangan, taruh bahan/isi di tengah nasi, tutup lagi dengan nasi.
Kemudian bentuklah segitga (dianjurkan bola bagi yang belum mahir)
setelah nasi udah menutup isinya bungkus dengan nori (ukuran sesuai selera)

Melody - Realize (Tranlsation)

Do you know that I want it all
Don't forget the dream in my heart
continues to shine

I can go forward without losing my way
I'm getting closer to my wish
Someday I'll make the flower full of light bloom
I see the light
wake up, stand up
I'll try to go towards tomorrow once again

Here I am. When I closed my eyes,
I realized that I wasn't alone
My dry heart is stained with tears of happiness once again

I promise from now on
that while I feel the beating that
began to move in my heart

I will be determined to carry things out
I want to run like this, so
someday at the place where I used dream,
"a-ha-ha" I'm laughing
wake up, stand up
I get up and try over and over again

I can move forward without losing my way
I'm getting closer to my wish

Someday I'll make the flower full of light bloom


Yeah, actually, this lyric really gave me a motivation..
Hope you like it guys! :)
