Edit: Okay so, is it more or less incriminating that my girlfriend very much resembles the Kaela you see in the image below? I’m wondering if it was coincidence—I certainly didn’t set out after Amy with the intention of finding someone like Kaela-san, but… I cannot deny that the similarities aren’t pretty glaring! Damn! Or… kind of awesome? I wonder if I’ll be getting a stern talking to in the near future… Love you, Amy! *nervous chuckle*

I am not entirely sure what is going on here but I am sure that it is most definitely awesome. I ♥ Kaela Kimura (Adwin, this is just the beginning of my site-shrine).

Click the jump for the lyrics (most of which I don’t know how to read/understand). Been liking this darling since grade 10 or so, ever since the “Happiness!!!” video (which was pretty viral if you were part of the “In” in “Internet”). Certifiably and scientifically proven to be the cutest girl online and otherwise.Baby, I need you too.
Baby, I like you too.

この先は 枝わかれさ
未来は 可能性だ
この先の 未体験ゾーン
不安は You don’t say that.

この先が 今よりマシな

You took the jump! I bought the Blu-Ray, all-region enabled copy of her “Go! 5! Kaeland” concert:

To celebrate her fifth anniversary since debut, J-pop darling Kimura Kaela held the Go! 5! Kaeland concert at the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse on July 11, 2009. Some 22,000 excited fans attended the special outdoor concert. Kaela performed 26 songs that night, from her debut single Level 42 to songs off her latest album HOCUS POCUS, fully displaying her chameleon music styles and lovable stage charisma. Via YesAsia

Needless to say, I am rightfully “stoked”. In fact, I’m getting “stoked” even as I type this!
