#27 lyric: Carnival

This must be the long awaited lyric that I've been wanting to post since last month but I haven't got the mood to. (・・;) I think although I've made myself wrote this, it's still not that up to my satisfaction. There are many other styles that I wanna explore too, but I haven't got myself in the mood to pen down the way I wanted it to. (x_x) I wonder when will I get to write something like Soft Ballet since I'm into their style recently. But all I can do is to have the feel of listening to their songs than coming out with anything off my head. (T_T) It just seems something is missing in me and I can't explain it. I don't know what's wrong with myself for now. But at least I have pushed myself to come up with something this time for the start for this year so this is still considered good isn't it? (^_^);

Because I wanted to try on other styles, I've been listening to other favourite bands of mine besides Kagrra and Buck-Tick. Just last month it's the Gazette although it was difficult for me initially, because their songs are always so dark and deep. It's the second time I'm trying Gazette style which will always take me a real long time to write them! Ruki style is just too hard for me to follow I wonder what is he made of lol. But anyway, since mine is lyric-focused, I wrote it ridiculously long. And as for the song that got me to it was my long-time favourite that I used to blog about it 6 years ago! That was how the inspiration came to me back then to name my blog with the word. But I don't know what exactly about it am I blogging about at that moment. (≧ω≦) lol. As for now, I just think this song needs to get more attention cos it's one of the best heavy rock song from the Gazette imo. I simply love that theme. (*゚∀゚*)


[Inspired by the Gazette Suicide Circus]

Carnival ( カーニバル) 
Bleeding rose, as fragile as my heart
Raining tears of desolation, I can't turn back to where I've lost

In the dark clouded sky, where nightmare comes alive
Did I live enough to be destroyed and threatened?

What do the shadows mean if they can't be hidden
The chill of goodbyes that is killing me softly
paralyzing my thoughts into pain

"Madness is enough to make me shiver along 
that the reflection of myself don't seem to exist
A weakness I can't spell out 
luring me to the dead-end of my dreams
Will you be coming for me if I was abandoned?"

From the time I was kept awake -
*Merciless won't fade away
even at the bottom of desperation
I'm in need of a heartbreak to scream along in this carnival
before Cain gets into me

Just bury my heart to where you belong
before it is announced dead before it is lost

Why do people still wish if their prayers didn't get answered
The state of disappointment that is killing me gently
paralyzing my thoughts repeatedly into pain

"The disorder that makes me shiver along 
bringing about the suspicion of my existence 
A weakness I didn't want to admit
luring me to the dead-end without you 
Can I stay asleep until I was abandoned?" 

From the time I can't turn back - 
*Merciless won't fade away
even at the bottom of desperation
I'm in need of a heartbreak to scream along in this carnival
before Cain gets into me
~~~~~
Can you see that I was trying hard? 

I wanted to scream as much as I can, 

even without you. --Yuuka

Kagrra, PSC Live Year 2005

It's the 13th anniversary for the Gazette!! And so happens that I'm left with this live to post about Kagrra, so I decided to watch this today. And cos I can watch the Gazette's performance at the same time. haha. Somehow this just reminds me again, that a year has passed, that I haven't been back to listen to the Gazette for a really long time! lol.





The video quality back then is really bad cos they look so blur on screen. But I have to capture this one of isshi~ ↑ (^o^)


The PSC bands that were performing at that time. Seems kinda lesser than the one in 2009.


One thing nice is that fans can write their wishes and hang them on the trees there. That's pretty nice to do before entering the concert hall and enjoy the show. I wonder if the band members do read them at all. =D 

Kagrra, is the first band performing for the day! So this time I won't capture the same butterfly pic of the word Kagrra, at the start, but my isshi-sama! ♪~(´ε` )


He'd probably looked too cool like this. xD

Tracklist:
01. 皐月 Satsuki ♥
02. 誓ノ月 Chikai no Tsuki
03. 愁 Urei


It's great to see that their pv is shown on the screen!


I noticed isshi is really simple this time! He didn't wear any rings. So this feels kinda strange. Cos I'm an accessories person too. lol. 


Is it me or Nao just like to make faces when he's performing on stage? (≧∇≦)


My handsome man..(〃▽〃) ♥



One thing not that pleasant is the lights shining from the stage are far too bright!! Especially when Urei is playing! Gosh hurts the eyes too much. I can't screencap anymore. lol.



Well anyway, because this is supposedly a Kagrra, post so I decided not to say more about the Gazette. Moreover, I don't know any of the 3 songs they performed in here! Totally new to me! Guess I'm not much of a Gazette fan really, plus their songs are really hardcore. Lots of head banging. Not my type so...


Happy Anniversary to the Gazette while I'm listening to Kagrra. songs! hahaha. xD

Animes I'm currently watching

Have to make myself watch anime during the weekends whenever I have the time to. I need to make myself listen to more Japanese to let me learn Japanese better. lol. And since I have people around me who could speak so well, at least I hope I can listen well despite them speaking at such a fast speed. (^_^;)

Currently watching:
✦ Nurarihyon no Mago ぬらりひょんの孫 → As recommended by isshi-sama.
✦ Tokyo Ghoul 東京喰種-トーキョーグール- → As recommended by Ruki-san
✦ Psycho-Pass サイコパス → As recommended by my friend.

I guess it's the first time that I will catch up the latest anime! Haha. I would definitely not doubt those that are recommended by my favourite vocalists. ^_^


And sure, we so happened to have the same liking in such anime genres: Horror, dark fantasy, supernatural, mystery... Somewhat such similar genres. I like the storyline from all the animes I watching recently. They're so enjoyable!  (●^口^●)


Tokyo Ghoul really another bloody anime that I ended up watching. After Another. xD Have just watched this 1st episode along with Psycho pass.


I have no idea what ghouls are out there for.. Are they just monsters eating humans? And they have some power too?  I didn't expect eating a hamburger would be something so difficult that Kaneki ended up vomiting any food he ate. Lol.


This red eye thing is certainly interesting~ I don't think it's scary at all. =p


As for Psycho pass, it's an anime about crime which is interesting too. I heard it's about intelligence. Not something that I would choose to watch all along but it's so cool. lol.


It also has bloody scene for the 1st episode. And I think it might be better for me to watch them during the day time too. Don't wanna get sudden scares like I used to have for Requiem from the Darkness. Lol~

Alrights, pretty much the first time that I'm planning to watch a few at the same time. Hope I won't mix up the stories.

There goes my Sunday. haha. (╥╯θ╰╥)

Lyric writing

Have been writing more and more lyrics since the start of this year!! \(^o^)/

Anyway I've turned to lyric writing and have stopped writing diary cos I've already got used to writing unhappy stuffs into my diary and I find it pointless to have a diary anymore. Might as well I'd write something more meaningful and deeply and it made me think more so I'm making good use of my brain. Lol.

Actually I've started way back in 2009 when I was kinda bored back then and since I was so into Ayu, I got inspired by her to do some writing. (^-^) But of course, those that I've wrote are mostly pop songs though there's a few dark ones inspired by the Gazette. Can't believe so, but I guess there's so much in me that made me wanna write sad/dark songs. Time really flies cos within those 2 years plus of writing I've actually wrote over 70 songs but frankly speaking, I'm not proud of all of them. Lol. I don't even think this amount was a lot either. (,_,)

In fact, I've wrote a lot more than that, but I've always find them not good enough and so I keep throwing some works away. I don't know is that a pity at all.  I've even wrote super short ones like just a paragraph for interludes and such are being included in this number of songs. And there's also some in which when I look at it now I feel like throwing them away. (>o<;) I just keep feeling something is lacking in each of them and somehow I felt that it was the immature me who wrote those kind of stuffs I don't want to see it nor be reminded of those times. Lol silly me. Aren't I wasting all my effort if I were to throw those away just cos I dislike now? At least, those reflect how I am like back then, and they're proof of the contrast between me, then and now, since diaries are all gone. Lol. Yeah, so I thought just let them be, maybe such pop-ish songs there'll be people who will like it and the lyrics are easier to translate anyway. And since is cos of Ayu-inspired, so shall let it just be that way even though I feel little irritated by myself... ( ̄^ ̄)

Ah come to think of it, those days, I've never told anyone that I've been doing such a thing. I didn't have the confidence all along to tell anyone that I can write well or even to show it. I don't know how others will find it, who will bother to read anyway? Maybe they'll feel that they're reading rubbish paragraphs and sentences that doesn't make sense. Maybe no one will like it at all.... ╥﹏╥

And so I thought I'll just leave the whole stack there, in pieces of papers not even written properly in a book. (¬_¬) And gradually I lack the enthusiasm to continue and it became a break from writing. So my brain has somewhat stopped working. >_<

That's really bad, cos at that period of time I do felt empty but yet I didn't think of writing at all. Now to realise this, writing is really my escape. The way I should do to make me feel better~! (⌒▽⌒)

Therefore I'm so glad somehow beginning of this year, well it must be cos of Isshi-sama whom gave me the strength or something, I decided to get back to writing and began to write like his style. I feel kinda proud of it and began to open this up to my friend [though just one so far] and let her see my works. She thinks that my recent works are hard to understand and translate, and that she likes my past works cos they're more direct and pop-ish. Lol. So I'd guess somehow lucky that I didn't throw my 'unsatisfied' past works away. At least there's someone who likes it! =D

But omg I'm more proud of my recent works better than the past~! I'd rather be reading at something deep that makes me think about what the writer is trying to express. And so I'll like to do that myself. Okay, too much Isshi-influence. xD But somehow isn't this consider as a more mature way of writing? ┐('~`;)┌ Rather than using simple words...

I'm really amazed at isshi's works I wonder what is his brain made of. (>o<) He could write so much about other stuffs like spirits, gods, demons rather those typical love songs he's truly someone very poetic and deep. His lyrics can be quite hard to understand and it's very hard for me to write something of his standard. =O But okay it's still my ultimate aim to be as good as him in Japanese in order to write something so deep. No sooner or later I think I'll be a Kanji freak like him too. Hahaha.


→ *Anyway, those that I've written are meant to be in Japanese but my Japanese is not of the standard yet I can't write directly in Japanese so I'm writing in English mostly, and so my intention is to get them all translated to Japanese. I've to depend on this friend of mine for the moment. And yeah, I've got 3 more to go till I reached my 100th mark!! ^_^ Since I've been writing for so long already [though I've taken a break before for 1 year plus] and been writing this much, I guess I will be releasing one song after I've reached my 100th mark. And I'll also be including the Japanese text~!! So there's like a lot of work to be done. Lol.



I need to get into the mood of writing these few days to reach the mark but somehow it's really something that can't be forced especially for lyrics. (x_x) I wanna write a happy song like Haru Urara so please Isshi-sama give me the inspiration once more~!!



While I'm still deciding on which song to get translated to Japanese. ☆*:.。. o(≧▽≦)o .。.:*☆


And I wanna write a letter to Isshi-sama too!


Ar~~~ sounds like a big personal project. Lol. And I hope most importantly, it'll reach to Isshi somehow, in some way...

at least I did something.

My favourite The Gazette classics

Suddenly been thinking and going back to listen to some Gazette songs.


While referring to the old list I still have:
01. Cassis - Top favourite of all time! ♥
02. LEECH
03. Silly god disco
04. 体温 Taion
05. 千鶴 Chizuru
06. Burial applicant
07. Filth in the beauty
08. Distress and coma
09. Without a trace
10. Derangement

Yeah, in the end, is listening to those classics over and over again. Lol. I guess that because we humans just tend to go for what we're familiar with, and I'm like that too. (^-^;)

I wonder am I attached to the past memories or the songs themselves. But not like the past is anything better than now. Lol. Well the melody always captures the heart and once it did, it's something you just can't forget anymore. (⌒ー⌒) I also need some time to digest the songs cos I will look at the lyrics while listening so as to understand and get the feeling from the song.

Some other Gazette songs that I'm starting to like:

✿ 蜷局 Toguro
✿ Reila
✿ 泣ヶ原 Nakigahara
白き優鬱 Shiroki yuutsu
✿ 飼育れた春、変われぬ春 Shiikureta haru kawarenu haru
✿ PLEDGE
✿ Last Heaven


So I guess I didn't really listen to a lot of the Gazette songs afterall. Hahaha.(>_<) Now it's not easy to find recent/new the Gazette songs now especially at Youtube oh PSC for being so strict now. Especially for Last Heaven I think I've only heard it only once although I just fall in love with it for just once. Why can't such an awesome song be there forever~?

Alright, I shall get myself absorbed to those songs while they give me inspiration..

nope, I'm not listening to revive my memory. (>o<)

[OD] My Gazette poster + purchases

This is not exactly an outdated post. Lol. But anyway, I just realised something....


This is like the dumbest thing ever. I DID NOT KNOW THAT I HAVE THE GAZETTE POSTER WITH ME FOR YEARS! So I've been keeping this aside in my cupboard for years which is such a waste!! Lol~

I love this now, since they're all looking so cool. xD Ar...I remember I got this from my friend cos of the SHINee at the other side. That's the bad thing about 2-sided poster. I didn't even realised my favourite band is at the other side. lol. Wonder when will I ever ever get my hands on Kagrra, poster.. Is that even possible? Lol.. Maybe things just come by and surprise me. Just like this one. Hahaha. I do hope so!! (≧▽≦)


Bought 2 packs of facial masks and a blusher in which I'm wondering should I use it. I thought I should try it cos it does give me a better seemingly healthy look. I don't mind the shimmer, but the smell is a little too horrid! I love the colour and everything else except for the smell. Most importantly is that it doesn't give me any reaction right? But still, can't help but to think that the smell is also important, since I have a sensitive nose. lol. But what's the use of a product that is sweet smelling yet it doesn't have any effect right? Argh.. just why do I have to bear with the bad ones too. >_< Alright, I will still use it since I've bought it.


The Kit Kat that my friend gave me last Nov. It's the pumpkin flavour that's so hard to describe the taste!! Lol.  I really don't know how to say the taste of it. It's not very distinctive like sweet or salty...it's totally not chocolatey but it doesn't taste that bad. (>o<)  It doesn't have that sort of pumpkin taste too. It's just something that you wouldn't have guessed it unless u know it in the first place. [Does anyone know what I'm talking about? (x_x)]

Just why do these special flavours from Japan have to be in such small packet? I don't think that's ever enough to eat! Same for my green tea one! ♥


Matcha didn't taste all sweet or chocolatey either. But it's still got that nice matcha taste. I like it!! I'm just so fond of Kit Kat. Hahaa.


Ar....I guess these are the things I bought last Nov?


I love the eyeshadow but not the eyeliner as it's not smooth to brush it on. (-_-) The highlighter is not bad but I guess I'm not good at contouring cos I dun seem to get it right. lol. So I haven't been using bronzer but highlight yes! Anyway, it seems that some Daiso makeup are pretty good so they are worth the try. ^_^


Oh, this is the body butter that I've been using since I've won it last year. (⌒▽⌒) It's really thick! Not that easy to spread but the smell is really strong! I feel that it's still on me throughout the next day. Nice but anyways, I would still prefer lotion that is easier to apply though, cos body butter makes me feel a little too dry/sticky. So I will not buy it at all.. =p

I've a sudden urge to do shopping now. hahaha. (^。^)

My thanks to the Gazette + Kagrra, 憶 Omou - My top favourite always ♥

Today is the Gazette's 12th anniversary so I shall blog a little about them..

Anyway, I'm thankful to the Gazette, cos if not for them, I wouldn't have discovered about Kagrra,. And since then, my love for Jrock never stops. (^-^)



Recalling how it all started: My impression of Jrock has always been loud banging music which I dun think was any interesting. But somehow on one day, I was surfing crunchyroll back then in 2008, and got sort of curious when I saw the link to the Gazette's pv 紅蓮 Guren. Since I was bored, I thought I shall give a try to listen. In fact Guren seemed so-so to me, but I was kinda startled by the lyrics and the pv was creepy. But not too bad overall. So the next click was → Cassis. Omg, that was the best song ever! I was so touched by it~!! That was certainly the right click I've made. lol.

And because of that, I feel that the more I should listen to other bands' music. So the next moment I went to click on the next band, which is Kagrra,. The first song was 彩の讃歌 Irodori no Sanka. Not bad too but it didn't amazed me...so I thought, maybe this is the same as what I've listened to just now like for the Gazette, so I should click to the next song. And yes!!! THE RIGHT MOVE THAT I'VE NEVER REGRETTED EVER SINCE → 憶 Omou.  (⌒ー⌒)

I was absorbed so into that song~!!! It keeps replaying in my mind. It's so holy beautiful. I love the arrangement, the guitar, lyrics and scenery...Everything in this pv was just so beautiful!! ♥♥♥

The song that turned me into a Kagrra, fan. It's certainly amazing how this happened. (((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))


I went to screencap my red Isshi-sama. haha. Now that I love the colour red, this is too good for me. Way tooooooo gooood!




In fact it's kinda hard to screencap them although I managed to do it. This vid keeps blurring and moving and zooming in and out as the pv effect. Nice to watch but hard to get a clear look of isshi. But I supposed what I did is good enough!




I love this last scene too. Our 2 guitarists Shin and Akiya playing the guitar together which is such a good coordination. And the images of the moon appeared a few times in the pv. ^_^

I have never thought rock can be this beautiful..and have never gotten sick of this song. Probably no one would ever understand why am I so amazed at Omou and love it so much. I dun know about others, but this is the song that touched me. This is the music style that I love. I dun think I can find any other bands with such traditional Japanese in it that can amazed me so much.  Because I have such good impression of Jrock from the Gazette/Kagrra, I tried listening to other bands but they didn't give me the same feeling as what the 2 bands have gave me. So in the end, I'd rather support fully for something I truly like, and moved me in the first place.(^∇^)



Ar~ Probably I have been blogging about Kagrra, way too much this year. lol. But I dun wanna stop this love. They are indeed the best to me. If only Isshi is not dead.. If only Kagrra, could carry on as a band forever....But still,

Today is the day which I should be grateful~

at least they existed. =)

I got Kagrra, San album~!!!

So thrilled~!! And just filled with so much happiness!! (≧▽≦) Just when my previous post I was mentioning about the dream I had buying a Kagrra, album and I really got it the next day! In fact, I was kinda afraid it will not be on the shelf anymore since there was a half-price sale I thought someone might have grabbed it already. Ok, maybe it's fated to be in my hands. lol.

There are still 2 more singles left in the shelf but I reckon that I will get them cos it's too expensive to get singles at $20+ for only 3 songs. =( Do u know that Kagrra, albums are just so expensive? The original price of this San album is $62 I really wanna get it for so long already ever since I've seen it. But I feel like I'm gonna cry no matter what. If I'm gonna buy an album that expensive, I cry for my wallet money cos probably I'm gonna starve myself. But if there's a sale going on and someone grabs it before me? I'm gonna regret not getting it earlier!  (x_x)

Alrights, now I still cried. But is out of happiness~!! I've always wanted to own a second Kagrra, album to expand my collection cos to me that is what a fan should do! Okay, besides the fact that having love for a particular band/singer makes you really greedy for more. But I'm pretty sure this is the right choice. I'm really really feeling so blessed now. It may be a small matter but to me is really a BIG thing cos I treasure this a lot!

 (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) Can't stop crying... And the fact that Isshi has been in my mind so much more often that before.


Okay, now looking into my Kagrra, San album:



I like the CD design art. But the thing that stunned me was this↓


I totally didn't expect that there is not even single picture of the members at all!! It's all totally a lyrics booklet, with those water droplets as the design. Yeah I'm disappointed, but I can't be blamed for this right. Cos the previous Kagrra, Shu album I bought had the members pictures. I thought it will be the same! I watched the San photoshoot video and so I thought the photos will appear here. =( Why not even one? I wanna see their handsome cool faces!! (,_,)

Anyway, I shall do my review of this San album when I'm ready. I think I saw that there is this San interview with Kagrra, I have yet to read them all yet. I shall search for more Kagrra, interviews to read since I can know them better! Can't wait for all this fun. haha.


Oh lastly, I was flipping through my stuffs buried deep in my drawer xD  And I found this list of songs I wrote long ago in many messy pieces of paper [along with my favourite Ayu songs list]. The left column is my favourite Kagrra, songs while the right is the Gazette.


Ar, now I feel so dumb for forgetting that I once listened to Isshi's solo!! I even wrote there 'isshi solo very good!' for Usanmusyo and Sara. Lol!! Honestly I have no impression how these two songs sound like at all. Omg... I should have keep this piece of paper somewhere I can see easily and keep it updated!

I think it'll be better to have a notebook written all these stuffs. It feels kinda cool to write current favourite songs and few years later flipping back to see that probably your taste have changed. I realised this is what happens for my Ayu songs. Some of them I dislike in the past, I end up liking now after many listens, or probably taking a break from Ayu and then back to listening to it makes me feel different. So now I shall also do the same for the rest of the artistes I like. I think I needa redo this list and really write them properly cos also for the Gazette I realised I've forgotten how my favourite songs sound like. Lol!! This is so not what a fan like me should be doing →write them down and cast them aside. No no, I'm not doing that anymore!!  (^∇^)


And now I also need some time to digest all the songs again!! 

Tuesday, August 13, 2013

When are you considered as a fan?

Nowadays Kagrra, and Golden Bomber is always in my head. lol. In which I keep thinking would I ever be considered as their fan? Cos I really like them... but somehow I feel that what I'm doing may not be sufficient from what a fan should do. Anyways, because of this, I'm thinking of my own definition of a fan from what I've been through as an Ayu fan. [Right now I'm already a hardcore Ayu fan. (^_-)-☆ ]

Different levels of a fan:
1. Discovering stage → just got into the artiste and knowing their basics such as the members/genre/concept, and listening to all their songs.
2. Supporting stage → by buying at least one album as they are worth your support now! Your are sure that they are your favourites!!
3. Collection stage → expanding your album/singles/DVD collection and also buying other goodies such as posters/keychains/cards/stickers etc...
4. Hardcore fan stage → doing all of the above + have a good understanding of the artiste's history/life/family/likes etc + keeping up with their updates!

I remember when I first bought my Ayu album A BEST I was so stunned! Cos I feel that all the songs are so familiar in which I think I must have really listened to them before [but don't know when]. And so this made me developed an interest in Ayu's music and I began to source for more Ayu albums ever since. ヽ(ˆ0ˆ)ノ

So at a minimum, I would say that at level 2 buying at least one album would be what a fan really is! Because you bother to buy the album as a start, in which it'll make u love the artiste more, and so u will get to the collection stage. ♪───O(≧∇≦)O────♪

Being a hardcore fan really takes a lot of effort! That's why Ayu has been my main focus all along. And so for now, I can keep up with news of Ayu much better. [besides the fact that news of her is easily accessible than other Japanese artistes (*_*) ] I think having one main singer you like the most and focus all your time on it would be more than enough!!
When I was at the collection stage, I even went to remember the tracklist of her albums and so I definitely know which songs are in which album. And of cos what the songs are about based on what Ayu has expressed in her lyrics and pv. They are almost at my finger tips already. xD And now that I'm already too much into Ayu until that I'm so concerned about her. I'm really sort of worried for her love life. (~_~) Maybe I'm just doing too much? haha. But that's what hardcore fans are I guess. (^o^)

So for Kagrra, I've already own 1 of their albums and I'm trying to listen to all their songs and looking at their lyrics, but I'm thinking am I at level 2 and 4? Cos I'm also now into knowing more about Isshi and the other band members. [Wonder what are they doing right now?] Can't believe I'm a Kagrra, fan for 5 years already. O_O
Anyway as you know, Visual-kei albums are hard to get and are so expensive!! I think it's already a miracle to me to be able to get that Kagrra, Shu album. I really cherish it a lot! So, not that I don't wanna expand my Kagrra, collection but it's something quite hard to do now.  (´・_・`)

As for Golden bomber, I'm still discovering them so I'm sure I'm at level 1 although I'm looking at their twitter nowadays wondering what they've been doing. haha. I'm kinda sad being at level 1 for GB as I wanna get their album!! At least 1 please! But it's really hard to get Kinbaku's album cos I can't find them here. (T_T) I'm pretty sure that besides me liking them being so hilarious, their songs are really my type! Although it's only Kirisho doing all these music thing. lol.

For Namie, I'm at level 3 now since I've got 2 Namie albums. I wouldn't say I know about Namie very well but I do know of her past cos I've once read the translation of a book that her mom wrote. It was really sad past for her. But I'm glad that Namie has achieved so much now. (^-^)


I would say that level 1 would be too low and it's more like casual listeners of a certain genre. So now my level 1 fandom would be Kyary pamyu pamyu, Fairies, the Gazette, XJapan, GUILD. I'm not that into them yet but I'm discovering them as much as I can. Although my time spent on them is quite little compared to my focus ones above. (≧▽≦)ゞ

Okay, I think that I'm discovering artistes that I begin to like almost every year. But they seem to stuck at level 1 for me. I generally like them but hard to develop any further. Because I have not got the urge to get at least one album from them! Besides that it takes a lot of effort, I don't usually got into an artiste so easily. It's not that easy to like someone or something isn't it? haha.

If I like them, I really like them~! Or else they will be level 1 for me. But I'm sure Kinbaku can be level 2 for me if I can get their album now cos I really wanted it! If I got the feeling of 'wanting' to buy the album, I'm pretty sure of myself I really have fallen for them and so I can declare myself as a fan once I bought their album. =)

Oh, that means for now, I still can't call myself a Golden Bomber fan. Oh well... I shall cry now. (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)

Ar~~~ My dearest Golden Bomber...

please wait for me~~

Kishidan Banpaku 2012 event on the 17 Sept!

I very happy to know of this news!! 3 of my favourite artistes are going to perform on the same event and on the same date!! ^_^


There are also many other artistes [rock bands especially since it's a rock and roll festival.] but I only know of this 3 whom I loved. Lol~!!! I've seen names like DJ Ozma, VAMPS and Momoiro Clover [from VOCE mag] but I've never heard of their music. Anyway, I dun intend to check them out. Usually most bands' music hardly amazes me. It's really hard for me to find a favourite band music and I dun wanna spend time searching for new ones and go crazy with since I've already found my love. I'll just stick to The GazettE and Golden Bomber~!!! hahaha.

I actually kinda excited to watch this show on video and hopefully we do get to see it! It's Ayu's first time performing and I'm so looking forward to it too. Wonder what songs will she choose to perform? I wanted Because of you cos it's the first rock song I loved so much from Ayu. Well, but Ayu dun really have a lot of rock songs so I really wonder wat songs can she sing. Preferably from RocknRoll Circus album like Microphone? I dun want any classic old songs like SURREAL which she perform most of the time in her concerts so I definitely wanna see Ayu perform those album/underrated songs on such a special festival. Anyway I really wanna see Ayu in the outfit she wore in her RnRC album on that stage~!!

Ok now shall sit and wait for the day to come. haha.

The Gazette [Suicide Circus]



I love their song once again with no doubt. But the title with the word Circus really makes me laugh a bit.  I guess my blog title suits this name very well. lol.. can u relate the word Circus with Rock?? Naming it after Ayu's RnRCircus and now with the Gazette's hit song for their new album TOXIC. hahaha. Both my favourites. So happy~~!

♪  [Tick - Tock] nobody can rewind time 
Don’t look away 
Suicide circus 


Heartless day 
Bottom of the abyss 
Suicide circus 
Why is it repeated ? 
Suicide circus ♪

They indeed have incorporated quite a lot of English in their songs again although Ruki's pronunciation still not that good but I still love it! His voice is ALL TIME awesome! And his outfit is so cool with the blings!  ♥♥ The whole circus theme is just cool isn't it?? haha. The gazette never fails to do amazing ROCK songs.

I'm very impressed now! for everything!!
