Outside the norm

My friend who I saw again on Friday evening at the concert gave me a Christmas gift. It's absolutely amazing and just 'wow' worthy.

She, white_stellar, did the cging herself and printed the images onto photo paper. She's amazingly talented.

I feel so loved!!!!

Check these out:






Thank you Darling! You are most wonderful~

X JAPAN HAS REUNITED!!!!!!!!!!! KYAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

They broke up ten years ago and one of their members died of a suspected suicide. And finally after ten years...they've gotten back together. They did the end theme song played during the credits of SAW I.V.

I'm Going To Die of Happiness!!!!!!

ra ra ra....

karada yakitsukusare hone ga nakunaru made yakitsukusu
sayonara

English:

Child that will be born adults with no sense of guilt fallen
I who has no name why am I here I don't even understand, but
I don't know that I only have a few months to live...

I want to love I want to be born inside this mother's body, staring
since the time I waited for conciousness two months on I sensed something fast
yet I could do nothing that cord of ours will be...

I, incomplete, my body pierced through with hooked pain
mother's screaming voice, ringing in my ears, will not cease white coated adults scooped me up
in eyes overflowing with coldheartedness bloody, without a right hand, I am reflected
just as I was, in black vinyl I am wrapped, engulfed
while my conciousness is gradually fading, I consider quietly
if I, caged, am loved as I am, that is good it cannot be forgiven

it's better that I, unloveable, died as I am
in quiet I shall sleep without giving my first cry
just once, I want to feel a mother's love
maybe this is love thank you
a door that never opens was closing tight
but I am surely your future, and so...
la la la...

my body burned, consumed until my bones become nothing burned, destroyed
goodbye

*sigh* I'm such a fangirl. The GazettE is like my favorite visual kei band right now.

What is visual kei?

According to wikipedia:
Visual kei (ヴィジュアル系, vijuaru kei?, lit. "visual style") refers to a movement among Japanese musicians,[1] that is characterized by the use of eccentric, sometimes flamboyant looks. This usually involves striking make-up, unusual hair styles and elaborate costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics.

According to me:
It's making an artistic expression with your appearance in addition to your music. Visual kei music artists make great efforts in their appearance.

Anyways...it's a huge genre in japanese rock. It started with X Japan and became a huge in Japan. Dir En Grey used to be Visual Kei before they left that behind. And it carried over into western countries too. For example, Marilyn Manson.

My favorite is The GazettE. They're all absolutely gorgeous and their music is fabulous. The reason I like japanese rock is that it's different, unique and the lyrics are much more beautiful than many of the English songs I hear now.

I'll introduce the band members. *The photos are fairy large sized. I haven't figured out how to shrink them*

The GazettE is an all male band.

I've been a huge fan since I was introduced to their music last summer. I've collected about 28 magazines in which they had photos. Each were like $15-30 since they were imported. I have all their singles and albums. It's hard to go into details as to why I love them. I just do.

I haven't updated in a while now. It's summer and I've graduated. My last time ever going to my Highschool was Awards Night on the 29th. Afterwhich I went out to White Spot with two of my friends.
It still seems surreal that I'm done Highschool and going on to University.

What have I been up to lately? Well we got a new patio set so I've spending a lot of time outside. I got tanned which I almost didn't think could happen to me since I've always been pale.
I've been watching Animes. Samurai Champloo is the latest thing for me. It's so funny and the fight scenes are amazing and fast paced. I also love how it's not so conservative about sexual issues especially those revolving around homosexuality and prostitution.
