It's been so long again since last time, ごめんね m(_ _ )m I'm busy as usual.
I hesitated which category to put this blog in. Blog or Dir en grey related? At least, I went with Dir en grey because most of this entry is about them.
I spotted this on LiveJournal Friday:
薫さん appeared on Geki Rock He looks とても かっこい Also, there was this rather long interview with him on the Geki Rock website: Follow This Link
I wish my Japanese was better and that I could read it. But I'm not worried too much about it, sinceOrchestrated Chaos would be posting the translation soon.
Also...I went to Dir en grey's home page and what did I see over at the new merchendise products? This:
ほんとすっげ And most unfortunately I can't get a copy for myself since I'm still stuck in damn Hungary and I can't be there on this tour
But! My penpal, Tadanori contacted me today, saying he recieved the Shankara book set and already forwarded them to me via EMS! It should arrive sometime next week!
Gorgeous preview image of 京さん (taken from LJ of course):
2.5 months till Nova Rock, till I see Dir en grey on stage. I'm trying my best to figure out what kind of presents I should get these five lovely people. I'm absolutely clueless. Perhaps something Hungarian? Or rather something handmade? A drawing? Drinks? What? どうしよう ＼(゜□゜)／
Also, I read an interview in an English language anime magazine "NEO" with Kaoru. He says the following: "'Yeah, they've added us the list now.' Kaoru states while giving us a cheeky yet menacing glance and hinting at a half smile. 'So many CD sleeves and PVs have been returned for being too explicit that now they have to check every single thing we create to make sure it's suitable...'"
Those bad censors should go on vacation
And now something that's not Dir en grey related, but I heard a message on the wind Thursday. Later it turned into a major scandal because of the media. 雅-miyavi- and Melody got married, and they're expecting a child! (^O^)
雅-miyavi- was planning to announce it on April 5, on his graduation event from PS Company. The gossip column beat him to it.
Apparently both him and Melody received lots of hate mail. Don't do that! Show your support, fandom! Let's be happy for him, for them, shall we?
I hope they will have a happy family together and also, I hope 雅-miyavi- will continue to be succesful after PSC.
頑張って! じゃ 終
(^з^)-☆Chu!!
P.S.: Japanese characters won't work properly on this PC so I was copy-pasting them from an online dictionary.
This time I present you with a short music video made by my friend モナ先輩. He recorded the footage with his PSP. The song you can hear is "Zetsubou Billy" by Maximum The Hormone (which was also the opening theme of Death Note's second season).
Please enjoy this video like we did the party!
Also, I make an appearance in this music video twice. Can you guess which person is me? Hint: Both times I'm on stage.
Today I went to the Japanese Day held at the Thalia Theater as a part of the Budapest Spring Festival 2009
.
There was a small introduction to kimono (how to wear and the types of kimono), after that Gayo Nakagaki gave a small performanca on koto.
I took a video with my cell phone, it's really small but I'll share:
Do you know this famous koto player, musician and composer?
He composed an opening for a car race for one
It was the first time I heard koto music live and I fell in love with it.
It's so beautiful and soothing. o(^▽^)o
Also, the Hungarian Kiyo-Kito Taiko drum ensemble played as the closing of the Japanese Day.
There's one Japanese member, Keiji-kun. He's the boyfriend of one of my friends, Hikaru-chan. She was there of course, and we watched the koto and the taiko performance together with great excitement.
I wanted to write a review of the party that was held on Friday but it really wasn't as good as I expected. The music went into an industrial direction, which I don't really like, so I mostly chatted away and fooled around with friends. I still managed to dance when a song I like came on but I've been to much better parties.
For the longest time I couldn't figure out what to wear (＞＜;) and then, as the night is approaching and I'm reading about American-Russian foreign policy issues after the Cold War (for a test on Monday) I had an idea!
I pulled all my skirts out and finally I decided on a purple/black Tokyo girl style (Tokyo is written on my shirt, that's why I call it that way + the plaid skirt). So it's all kinds of purple with black and a bunch of other happy colors. (*^o^*) It's nothing special, I go about my things dressed like this every day when the weather is nice enough. Oh well, it's at least more comfortable than the dark lolita style I went in last time. I had to watch out because the tulle of the underskirt all the time, not to hit anything or get stuck or something that could tear the material. Not exactly the best thing to wear at an underground club that is stuffed with roughtly 300 something people all dancing like crazy. Anyway...this time I get to go like myself and not a lolita or some Visual Kei imposter ( ´艸｀)
Sad thing is that none of my close friends are coming this time It's been a good while since I had to go alone (I believe last time this happened was last July). But! I'll meet up with a bunch of my buddies at the bus stop. Poor 206 passengers... Hahaha! I love to see the terror on people's faces when we get on the bus.
Look at me blabbering...I forgot to mention I bought some expensive mascara today! I just couldn't resist this damn thing although I'm not even running out of mascara as of yet
It has collagen in it and makes your lashes really long and really thick and 本当にカッコイ ヽ(;´ω｀)ノ
Look at my nails there! 2 years ago I never imagined growing them so nice and long, not to mention completely effortlessly. I used to bite my nails for years and one day I just stopped and quit it. I'm glad I did. Still need to paint those nails some color... purple or black? Thought question.
Oh well, I should stop this girly babbling and go take a shower before I continue studying the American-Russian foreign relations. m(．．)m
