Stop it...

I just saw the pamphlet scans for the GazettE's Hymn of Crucifixion. Oh. My. God.

Fuck you Uruha. Stop being so damn seksi!!!! *doki doki doki*

Okay, fan girl talking and it's nearly 4am.

The wonders of nail polish

I don't normally talk about the small things about my life here, but what I witnessed yesterday probed me to feel compelled to write this.

You know how when you're a child and you see something that you feel only grown ups do and feel like there's some sort of magic going on in such a way that you wished you were an adult? I'm sure this is what the girl who watched my nails being painted felt when she curiously stood right next to us right when the manicurist was applying the dark red polish on me. She had this look of wonder at that moment as if she wished that she too could take part in this ritual of making your nails look dangerously beautiful.

Then again, I was probably like that when I first discovered make up and ransacked my mother's wardrobe. It's as if you've unearthed some foreign treasure that holds secrets to the species called woman.

Looking at my glossy pinot noir and nicely shaped finger nails right now, I can't help but think...I've certainly come a long way from a plain teenager to a GazettE fan with newly pierced ears. Maybe it's time to search for more and new magic.

"見果てぬ地に向かう瞳は 何を映し出してゆくの?"

"Mihatenu chi ni mukau me wa
Nani wo utsushi dashite yuku no?"

"Eyes facing neverending lands
What do they reflect?"

Song of the Moment: 1582

Yes, this is Kame's song in his solo performance at the KAT-TUN Break the Records live. I have to admit that I'm still mesmerized by his song and beautiful dancing. Truly a piece of KAT-TUN masterpiece!

Please refer to my previous entry to watch his magnificence. I can't get his gorgeousness out of my head every time I hear this song.

Otherwise, I'll just let this video run through this post.

But you still have to watch his actual singing (if you haven't already). That's an order.

Kamenashi's Record Breaking

Oh my goodness...they truly went through the roof with my expectations! Other than the normal fire and laser effects used, a lot of water fountain and aerial performances have been used.

The most eye popping moment: Kamenashi's solo performance.
From his graceful flight to his self absorption of dancing in the fountain, it's probably the best solo dance I've seen in a long time. Who would have thought that Kame would look so seksi in a kimono??

Ossan Ossan Ore Nanbo

With the HiFi fixed (finally!) I'm watching the Miyavi live of the beginning of the Neo Visualizm tour in 2007. In the middle of Ossan Ossan Ore Nanbo, I almost dropped my lappy off my lap from laughter. Totally a man with many talents in the Japanese music industry, you can't help but fall in love with his charisma - he's serious about his music, but certainly knows how to pull the audience with his drunk like guitar dance while sticking his tongue out in mock cheekiness.



Now, I'm just hoping that he'll add me back on Facebook soon. ^^

And the other DVDs I've ordered should be arriving by EMS tomorrow. Can't wait! A preview of what I will be watching below!

First up...KAT-TUN! Break the Records Live (break break break). From the looks of it, I really hope that they've topped the performance - because I have really high expectations from these guys, after watching the Queen of Pirates concert, you're pampered to that sort of really high standards. Especially if all 440,000 seats (for shows held in 8 consecutive days) at Tokyo Dome are sold out on the day it went on sale!



And of course...GAZETTO! the GazettE's DIM Scene Tour Finale I'm so excited to hear full live versions of Distress and Coma, Without a Trace and A Moth Under the Skin. Oh, I can feel a nosebleed coming up...please excuse me...
