Disclaimer: This is all Laurelgand and Moonsong's fault. If not for them I'd never be writing this stuff on this page. Blame them and especially Laurelgand for the corpse tea. version 39: I used to be a huge Star Trek fan and I guess I still am, sometimes. Depends on my mood XD. Featuring the USS Enterprise from the original series. Title from the "no-win scenario" which each Starfleet Academy cadet must go through prior to completing training.
From http://www.x-japan.de. Toshi's September 1997 announcement of leaving X Japan.
It is true, that I told Yoshiki that I wanted to leave the band in April. The decision was not easy. I have been thinking about it for some years. The reason is...I have been playing with X Japan for many years, and I devoted myself to it, but I also wanted to express my feelings and thoughts by using my own words, so I started my solo works. I have been doing both things. All the members agreed that we should do the X Japan things first, and do each solo work in our spare time.
But I graduary came to feel uncomfortable to perfectly devote myself to X Japan. I tried to make the balance as Toshi of X Japan and Toshi as solo, but... Of course I did my best in X Japan; you can't play in X Japan easily, you can't face X Japan easily; X Japan and it's music are too great and they require your perfect devotion. I tried hard, but I couldn't.
I thought that it was not good to continue like that. I think every memeber had the same feeling. I had a chance to talk with Yoshiki after the Tokyo Dome concert last year. He told me what he was planning to do with X Japan in the future. I was embarassed. I was not sure whether I could go with him. He was so enthusiastic, and I thought that I would not be able to play his music, X Japan's art, with this unbalanced mind.
I asked myself what I really wanted to do. If I play with X Japan, I have to devote myself to it, otherwise it would not be fair to the other members and the fans. I have been thinking of many many things since them. And I finally decided that I should leave the band if I can't devote myself on X Japan only, I wanted to be true to myself. So I told Yoshiki that I wanted to leave the band in April.
I want you to listen to this song now. I think this is the ultimate love song of Yoshiki.
Forever Love Acoustic
X Japan disbanded, but I still think X Japan is the greatest band in the world. This is true. I think that to let X Japan remain the most wonderful is to make it last forever in my mind. I know you have many many things to say. Most people must think 'why?'. But I have been playing in X Japan with Yoshiki for 17 years. Yoshiki said 'It was my life.' It was my life too. X Japan will remain forever in me. X Japan has made me what I am now. I believe the things that X Japan gave me will give me a lot of things in the future, too. I'm sorry to have made you feel pain, but the things you have got from X Japan will surely have a great meaning in your future and help you. There still remains the songs. The songs of X Japan and the members will surely help you as they did before. They will support you and me. I'm proud of X Japan and you. It's painful now, but this pain and sorrow will surely find the way and lead you to happiness.
X Japan is forever.
The last number; this is my favorite song of X Japan.

From now until the end of August, I am giving up all forms of entertainment that involve money. As in, no more ordering online. No more Ebay. No more new books. No more fansubs. No more eating out. No more movies. No more going places on weekends. And I'm not going to AX anymore. No more ANYTHING that involves BUYING things except for groceries, gas, and paying bills.
Why, you ask? THIS is why.
I'm serious about this...I know I can do it. I've gotta do it...it's the only way I can afford that. There's no use ogling it on the online catalogue or making trips to Mars every weekend to play it if I know I'll never own it. So there.

 You were meant to be in B'z! You're confident, easygoing, and know you're amazingly talented, but you don't have to flaunt it for everyone to realize it. Things just naturally seem to go your way, and you have no problem with sharing your successes with your friends...or your fans.

I merely gazed out

 You are Pieces. You're an emotional person who tends to always be lost in thought. Friends look to you for sympathy, but you're not always the best person to give it. And.. you're a bit of a sociopath. Who likes knives. "Which L'Arc~en~Ciel song am I?" test by mifyuu *scratches head* I don't know about the emotional part...but I like the song, so...and the knife part sure is interesting. *evil grin* I saw the Pieces PV once and haven't worked up the nerve to see it again. It's just one of those things...it's one of their best, though.
At 1939 hours, going where no one has gone before Surprisingly this layout only took me about half an hour to complete, which is a record for me. I rather like it too. Heh...though the blog has been black for a while now. I can't help it; the space theme demands it! Spock: fascinating... I admit I've been a closet Star Trek fan for almost 8 years now. I used to read the books like mad. It was an obsession in junior high that I hope I've grown out of, because going back and reading, many of those books are just not very well written. But there are a couple that still catch my eye, like Strangers from the Sky, Uhura's Song, Dreams of the Raven, Black Sun, Crossroad, Shadows on the Sun, and Doctor's Orders, as well as the novelization of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. The movie disappointed me, probably because I saw it after I read the book, which is far superior to the film in every way. I finished my English essay on Ovid and the Metamorphoses this afternoon at about 3 and went to campus to turn it in. Technically it's not due until tomorrow at 12, but I usually wake up at 11:30 or so on Mondays, and no way in hell was I going to get up earlier and run to campus and try to find parking just to turn in an essay. In any case, it made me finish early, which is a feat for me, considering how I like to procrastinate on essays. It's a nice feeling, finishing early. Perhaps I should do it more often. ...nah. XD It is now almost 2:30 in the morning so I should be trying to sleep. *wanders off*

IMAGE SONG LYRICS!
The beautifully disturbing lyrics to this song struck me and I had to put it up. Perhaps the "sea" is the darkness within all of us. Lyrics and translation from monophobia.
SUISOU
kumo no ito hari-tsuketeru
spider webs entangled
yane-ura ni toji-kometeru
shut up in the attic
okashikute hakisou nanda
it's bizarre and I feel sick
boku wa tada nagameta
I merely gazed out
nemurinagara kioku no boku
as I sleep the self of my memories
tsuki-akari no shita
beneath the moonlight,
