¯ Dir en Grey - Zomboid (Zeroshiki Mix)
¯ Dir en Grey - Zomboid (Zeroshiki Mix)
*drums her fingers against the desk* The world is changing... (hey, isn't that a quote from LotR btw?) Earlier, a century ago and such, one of the main canons of beauty was having pale skin. And I agree with that, pale complexion is cool. But now when I look at the people now it's just x_X; Everyone has an obsession about being tanned. All those girls whose skin is just yellow from using too much of solariums, self-tanners and other nasty things are just UGLY. Don't they realize it? Blahh.
I don't have anything against dark-skinned people. I do however think that those I've mentioned above are stupid XP
But maybe it's just me being old-fashioned...
Haha *plays with the chain of her pocket watch*, the thing is, I'm EXTREMELY old-fashioned (and proud of it) XDDD At least lately I'm like this. I'm on some kind of period-look kick ne~ Don't really know why >_>
Anyway. I wanted to watch those new episodes (OAVS?) of Wolf's Rain. But my sister watched them and advised me not to. Everyone dies and Darcia-sama comes out as a bastard/evil. Wth? No thank you, I don't want to ruin my impression of him. The other characters can do whatever they want to (dying included) but not my Darcia-sama T-T
So maybe I'll just watch the first one. I've been told that he has a cool gun and kills one of the main characters with it XD'
Bah I've been so awful this week... skipped so many classes... But today I just *had to*. The first reason was that last Friday I was very bored at school so on the first brake I decided to umh, evacuate myself. And what did I find out later? That the classes I thought I skipped had been cancelled. So I did everything perfectly legal. Ugh! So tell me, how could I just stay on today's classes?! It was destined for me to be absent XD And the sun was shining so nicely... ^^;
One more thing: my French teacher (not from school) rules. She's one of those fewwwww RL people I've come to respect/admire *nods*. It's always good to find someone whom I can look up to especially when I'm suffering from a superiority complex^^;
... A perfect example of it would be this, which is a cameo featuring MYSELF *dies of vanity*~

¯ ムック - 九日～四畳半ver.～
I think I've gotten myself a new hobby. But it's not very ambitious ne^^; It's downloading rare ムック files from winmx and slsk! Haha XD'
No, I don't mean music and PVs. I mean voice messages, photo shoots, interviews and such. I love to hunt them >3
So let me present a list (I'm being a horrible geek here, I know) of those things I already have (it's not ALL I have though) and find them interesting and deserving a comment/review:
Um, it's a bit long^^;
- 現代奇想音図鑑(コメントみたいなMUCCのYUKKEのまっぴらごめんだあのコーナーで す。).mp3 [Gendai Kisou Oto Zukan (KOMENTO mitaina YUKKE no MAPPIRAGOMENDA no Corner desu)] - Niii! XD Ok, this one is insane. But extremely cute. Generally mucc emitting silly sounds and being cute and Yukke going 'niiiii'. They play some sort of games. There's Hamarimono no Corner and Usutsuko no Corner later. And I don't really get most of it T_T;
- ポケショック専科 ムック＃01.mp3 - Aghu, those are the guys from the Hot Wave interviews! God, that woman reporter scares me o_O And there's this old guy whose voice I don't like (the one from Nightmare interview). They're horrible and so false -_-. The interviewed Jrockers say something and they go 'ah haha, how interesting' when it is clear that they think the opposite. Bah. Buuut fortunately mukku make it up for them (they talk all the time). They're extremely genki, shouting, laughing and being silly as usual. Damn cute ^^
- Beatshuffle Rap (Yukke).mp3 - Yes, that's exactly what the file name says. The thing starts with Tatsurou saying 'wan tsuu surii' and then there's Yukke as the main voice trying to rap, Tatsurou does the beats and such and Satochi does the backup vocals. I don't hear any Miya though (which is quite predictable). It's INSANE. I thought I'd die laughing. Yukke is too cute for words. And it ends very sweetly because everyone starts to laugh XD
- エクストリームZ-POPコメント.mp3 - Hm I don't really know what to write about it. Just MUCC talking while there's some noise in the background^^;
- 紲 (talk + live).mp3 - It starts with a guy from the audience randomly shouting 'KAWAII!' and then there's an 'Eh?' that sounds like Tatsurou. This REALLY reminds me of an almost identical situation with Kyo in one Diru live file. Maybe it's the same guy... Their voices are similar x_X; Anyway, then there's Yoru live.
- Beatshuffle guest on demand 200312030.asf - MUCC talking about their plans, Rojiura etc. Yukke does most of the talking and has a cute hat^^. Tatsurou plays with his hair. Miya sits motionless through the whole thing. I don't think he blinks o-o
- *insert member name*'s Comment.mp3 - 4 Comment thingies in which they advertise... um... 4-10-2-4-10-3 is what I understand^^;
Yukke is like 'Kin~kon~kan~kon~~ konnichiwa!' Omgsosocuteagh XD
- Miya telephone talk [14112003].asf - Uh, it's quite boring^^; It's a video file showing a... poster while Miya is being interviewed. It should be an audio file.
- Kyömu ft MUCC - Ware, Arubeki Basho (Dist Version).mpg - It's WEIRD. It seems to me like it's an amateurish remix. Well, the remix part consists only of adding a very loud guitar that makes Warearu almost inaudible. The guitar sounds amatourish and sometimes is just plain annoying because it misses some tunes but after a while I got used to it. Hell, it's even catchy! But there's no doubt I prefer the original.
- Ware, Arubeki Basho [Nyuu Arubamu Message + PV].mpg - Before the PV there's a cute message where MUCC are trying to say 'nyuu arubamu' (new album). It's funny.
- Kyousoukyoku (2nd version).mp3 - I prefer the original version. But if my ears are not misleading me (and I doubt they do), there is English! There's 'I love you, oh' and '*something*my love'. XD~
- Cali Gari - ZY Magazine #02 [Live with MUCC].mov - A short live clip. Maybe I'm wrong but are they cosplaying MUCC there? It certainly seems like it^^
- 仰げば尊し 【新宿 Liquid Room】.mp3 (also called 'Aogeba Toutoshi Live') - Um... It's one of those live things in which I can't comprehend what song they play...
- BARKS about BOOWY Respect.avi - They talk in a place that to me seems to be a tent x_X; Anyway, it's very dark inside, Yukke has a cute hat and Tatsurou and Satochi introduce themselves in an interesting way.
- Bouzenjishitsu & Daikirai (live).mp3 - It starts with some radio guy talking a lot and very fast so I didn't get most of it. Mukku no this, mukku no that. Then there's Bouzenjishitsu and Daikirai live. Ende.
- Shofu (cover by Kagerou).mp3 - The title is self-explanatory.
But I also have things like Zy photoshoots (Do 10 and 12 exist? I've never seen them...) and their specials/talks, zi_backstage, StylishWave New Children, HotWave, PrideVisions, Karaoke with Psycho le Cemu, Jee Jee Trap, J BEET, Expert Rush (aka IDIOTS), ERII, A type, Orugooru live, Daikirai studio live, CD voice messages/comments, live versions of songs~~~ And others. Quite a lot of them. But those are things that are very common among users... I'm interested in those things I've seen like once and never again. So um..
My wishlist :3
- 20 made beat shuffle 2003 02 21.avi - I'm not sure if this is not the same as the Beatshuffle Guest on Demand or the one below. But the dates are different...
- beatshuffle mucc 20040220.asf - It's still incomplete, waahhh T_T; These few seconds I have show a sort of studio with a table and MUCC sitting with headphones on. They say their hellos and that's all I have *is determined to hunt down the damn thing asap*. Bah.
- 大嫌いコメント(達郎 & ミヤ).mp3 - I WANT this. I NEED this *__* I don't really know why I want it so much but I just do.

Haha. A lot of it ne. That's because there's so many files like that~! They make me feel so greedy ~_~
If anyone has something from the above (they're hard to find and/or elusive) please pretty please onegai shimasu trade with me and you'll have my eternal gratitude. I'm as katamari on both programs (XD) .
Hm, I do believe it's the first time I post a shameless wishlist on my blog. So please bear with me as this probably won't happen again~
Oh wow. A test result. It's been a long time since I posted one here. Is it just me, or are test results less and less popular on blogs nowadays? Now that everyone has a lj they seem to prefer memes...
...A very important thing to notice, I know -_-;

Please forgive me the silliness of this entry. I think I'm a bit drugged right now x_X; I'm on a coffee-high (as usual XD') plus lately I fell in love with black chocolate (90%!). It's fantastic. And it's very healthy/nutritious so I can eat as much as I want~~!
Ahem. I wrote about Engrish a few entries ago (Because I love Engrish. Isn't its very idea just fascinating? We're witnessing a development of a new language! In a few years there will be schools of Engrish maybe *_* Wahh I want to be an Engrish teacher~) and I will do it again now XP.
Remember Blood Stain Child? The Japanese metal band I've mentioned. I listened to some of their other songs (other than Be in for Killing Myself) and I didn't really like them :/ They're NOT visual kei and their drummer is bald ~_~. But that's not the point. I finally came to the conclusion that they sing in English. But I couldn't catch anything more than 'you wanna die' XD' I can't find the lyrics anywhere. So~
I decided to write them myself. They're NOT the real lyrics, this I am sure of, because they're utterly stupid but this is just what *I* hear. It's funny. And it doesn't have much sense not to mention grammar. Haha here it goes:
Be in for Killing Myself
Die~~~~~!
Here's my last chance for the vengeance.
User worry for the death pan.
You wanna die with one left by,
by this worry is just a swap going away from the show.
Death is purify, last step over myself; death just is a matter of time.
You're gonna regress. Die~~~~!
Yourself: go out, go left, in yourself.
Search over regress - I'm such a dare.
Damn humor, bright the day. Here let's stay - try the bull.
I'm… away… to the extensive ceremony.
Damn you, try the day. Death's holler ride the horse.
How dare going search yourself?!
Damn you, try the day. Death's holler ride the horse.
How dare going search yourself?!
Here's my last chance for the vengeance.
User worry for the death pan.
You wanna die with one left by,
by this worry is just a swap going away from the show.
Die~~~~~!
User worry for the ass in yourself.
Set your war in the rest.
Out, search yourself… now!
*dies*. 'try the bull' XP. Insane, I know. But at least the syllables are alright.
Now go and listen to this song and you'll see I why I just could not help hearing these things.
... Also, now you see the reason why I never write poetry x-x
I had a weird dream today. I felt so stupid in it. I finished my Royal Castle Guide course then (Ha! I'm not writing anything about that but I haven't skipped any of the classes yet! The course is cool but a little boring. And the exam is to be soon x.x Eee I must start studying) and was to have my very first tour. My group consisted of two cute Japanese businessmen XD' Anyway, I remember telling them something about the history of the Castle and then we began walking around the rooms and I was telling them about the furniture and the function of the rooms. It went quite ok but then in one room (which I personally find ugly and tasteless), while talking, I leaned against the wall and that made me instantly fall asleep x_X; Don't know why. So I was still sleeping and the Japanese businessmen were too polite to wake me up and decided to wait. They sat somewhere and played cards. And then it got dark and the guard came in and asked them why they are still here because we're closing the place. So they were like 'Our guide fell asleep and we're waiting for her to wake up'. And the guard said 'Oh, that often happens' and left. After that, I finally woke up and felt so utterly stupid. I apologized and apologized to the businessmen but they were very kind and considerate and said they weren't angry with me. How sweet of them <3. So we decided to meet again the next day. But I was still so angry with myself~
The end.
In reality, I can't wait to become a guide :3 I think it's a very cool thing to be, especially when one is as young as I am~
Other thing I just couldn't prevent: another of my really bad jokes. But this one sucks extremely so I'm warning you.
Malice Mizer
How does Mana say 'you're funny, my vocalist' in short?
- KlaHAHAHAHA~
... No, wait, not Mana. Kozi. It's better like this.
Why are all my jokes so pathetic?! And more importantly, why the hell do I post them on my blog?! *shoots self* Ouchies.
- KlaHAHAHAHA~
... No, wait, not Mana. Kozi. It's better like this.
Oya oya. Long entry. No, I'm not trying to make it up for a week of nonblogging XD'*grabs some more chocolate*

Because I'm feeling a bit shallow right now, I shall devote this entry solely to fashion XP
First of all, go HERE immediately. Yes, go go, I command you.
I finally posted my collection of cameos. Ah haha. Because that's what I've been wasting my time on this (and previous) month. Making artificial cameos XP. And I finally decided that from all those I've made, 10 are presentable so I posted their pictures on my lj. Some examples:
Man, I'm so proud of all of them. I'm such a genius ^_^ Also, I didn't make anything from fabric-chan yet. My ideas sort of left me and I'm waiting for them to return^^;
I bought two artificial roses (just the flowers) however. They're both black :3 And they're so beautifully made - they really look like real ones (not that I've seen a live black rose^^;). The bigger one is about the size of my fist and has an elastic attached so I'll be using it to tie my hair. The smaller I attached to my hat. Naww don't laugh. It really doesn't look as cheesy as it sounds. Plus it's not a big hat (not the Akabaneish one). Mwah.
Long time ago I came to a conclusion that this Kyo's outfit is the coolest thing on earth. I'm totally in love with this look. And I desire that jacket. Because I have white shirts with lace cuffs and jabots, I only need the jacket to complete it. It looks quite easy to make from a normal black one (sewing on those buttons and that sign). The problem is, I *have* a normal long jacket like this but it's made from artificial fabric :/ And I don't think that would look good. When I find a natural jacket like that, I'll immediately kyo (<-used as a verb) it :3
Eh. Also, I want this. Badly. And this, this and this. But they all cost like 50 000 yen... I have about 500 in my purse right now x_@; Ah, but I console myself that even if I did have the money, those things would probably be way too small for me ^_^

Saa ne. Procrastinating again. I have emails to write, comments to write, blog to write, yet I just waste my time on pointless surfing around. Anyway^^;
The more ムック の ZY photo shoot clips I download, the more I love them. Actually, I'm beginning to think I'd love the clips anyway, even if they featured just some random guys not Jrockers whose music I adore; they're so funny. I thought I'd die when Tatsurou and Yukke started doing the erm, Titanic scene XD~~
Speaking of them, I finally heard 季節が君だけを変える, a BOOWY cover. Yay. Aside from the fact that I'm totally in love with it now (Mein Gott, especially the ending *dies*!) and can be often found singing/screaming 'kiseeetsuuu gaaa kimi dake o kaeruu~' randomly (because it's so catchy), I am also happy because the song is an answer to my little musings.
You see, I generally don't have any big life problems or stuff I need to worry about so instead I can spend my time pondering insignificant things, like the relationship between ムック and Engrish (or rather the lack of thereof). ^_^;
Honestly, I don't really like Engrish in songs. I just don't think it's necessary because Japanese is such a beautiful language alone. Also, no matter how sad/angsty/serious the song is, Engrish just makes uh, less serious (in my opinion anyway). Take Diru for example. If there is a word that is totally incomprehensible and sounds like a tortured cat - it must be in Engrish. Usually I have a really hard time thinking what it means and I create my own interpretations. That is until I check the lyrics and am like 'what? that doesn't sound like that word at all o_x!'. Oh and then there's Klaha, the vowel-hungry man with an incredible ability to fit 2 or 3-syllable words into only one. I prefer him singing in Japanese and in Japanese exclusively^^;
I respect ムック very much for not using Engrish at all. Compared to the other artists they're even original with this. But I couldn't help wondering whether they will use it one day (because of going major and such). And if so, what would it sound like? No, actually I was very curious.
And here I am pleasantly surprised because Tatsurou's Engr(l?)ish proved to be very tolerable. And cute. Well yeah, he only said a few words, not even sentences, but it was enough ^^. 'Itsumo tenderness, dakedo loneliness' XD At one point there even was a 'baby' although I'm convincing myself that it was rather a 'maybe'. I would check that but I can't find the bloody lyrics anywhere (probably because the original song is very old...). I need the lyricssss T_T I want to know what that incomprehensible word is : 'Itsumo happiness, dakedo ???'. To me it sounds like 'loserless' or 'looseness' but it wouldn't make any sense...
何時もＨＡＰＰＩＮＥＳＳ!
Wow, this all developed into quite a rant O_o; I'm sorry for using so much kanji here. I can't help it though. It's all my wonderful Japanese WP-chan's fault. When it comes to my blog, if there is a word I want to use that can be written in kanji instead of romaji, I choose kanji (or kana). Unfortunately I do not intend to stop this. Besides, it all looks so pretty XP
Hm hm. Like I've mentioned a few times, sometimes I am slow with realizing things. Like only now I noticed how cute Merry's bassist - Tetsu is.
Umh I'm going to post a picture of him here (it's not one of the prettiest ones but the colors agree^^;) just to distract myself...
... mhhhmmmm... pretty... ... distraction, nee~ ....Wait, what was I saying? XD'

New layout ^_^ It's almost pink this time. I should have added some flowers though, I think, to make it all look more springish because I miss spring a little *looks through the window and sees darkness/snow/mud/ice -_-;*
... And how come Daisuke looks so good without makeup?? Aghhhh it's not fair and I'm jealous ;_;
I notice I have developed a habit of bowing to people. Uhhh that's from being influenced by Japanese culture too much^^;;;;;; For me it comes naturally to bow but people must find it strange here ne~ It may not seem so by judging from my blog, but I tend to be very formal when speaking to other people. And I like it. But sometimes I get this feeling that it's a bit out of place, especially in situations like, let's say, buying potatoes. People here are usually rude. Bahh how I don't like rude people ><
I bought quite a lot of wonderful black fabric today. Mmm it's so pretty. A little bit shiny though. But just a bit so I think it's acceptable (I detest wearing shiny fabrics^^;). Now, what will you become, my fabric-chan? Ooh, maybe that very very long dress of my dreams? With sleeves? It would be a bit difficult to make though... I'll go and try to think about it now :3
