I love how experimental this band is, even though they have had some ups and downs. Satoshi has always impressed me with his vocals and the band as a whole, even though they sound rather 'western' (<- might be a wrong term I'm using, sorry) at times, I am still always impressed by them. Really happy to have seen fans enjoying MONSTER and upcoming releases so much! Better keep updated with them, missing out on so much urg!

I went to my first double feature at the movie theater yesterday, and as already said I watched Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens and Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht. What an awesome experience. They both looked, and even more impotantly in enie Symphonie's case, sounded massive.
 
Also, they started off with a "trailer" for Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht. I thought they had put on the wrong film at first, but it was just a "trailer". Majestic, haunting music over some well-plased stills from the film. Worked extremely well and sent chills down my spine.
 
 
Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens - A most people know I consider this to be the best horror film ever made. It's the most haunting film ever made, and to me, the most scary film ever made. It doesn't surprise you with jump scares or anything, but Max Schreck is absolutely terrifying, intimidating and threatening as Count Orlok, and F.W. Murnau knew exactly how to create a creepy, mystic and thick atmosphere, and together these two elements (Max Schreck and the atmosphere), together with the nightmarish, cold and wicked visuals creates something extremely scary, at least to me. As with many horror films during the late silent era (last 15 yeas of it) it's very nightmarish and wicked becaue of how it is shot, and this is something of a lost art. I don't really know what to say. Majestic, mystic, dark, cold, creepy, evil, scary. That's the words I'll use to describe this film.
 
Th soundtrack, which is extremely important for the film, isn't the best soundtrack out there. But they've got one which manage to tell the story by itself, and together with the film it just strenghtens every single image throughout its 94 runtime.
 
Every single shot with Count Orlok in it is absolutely fantastic and could be used as the coolest oster ever. Most memorable and scary scenes ever. Being a silent film you'll have to talk alot with your body language, and I think Max Screck did this perfectly. Best thing ever!
 
This film is is the prime example of what a symphony of horror is. This film IS horror. Grim, eerie, dark, cold and terrifying.
 

 
 
Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht - Based on the same story as Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, and it pays obvious homage to the mentioned film, but it's still a very different film. Unlike in Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, Dracula here feels less terrifying, intimidating and threatening, and comes off as a hurt, lonely and haunted creature with a lot of sadness buried on the inside. Doomed to immortality with no such thing as love in his life. That's what I'd say the main differene is. This isn't so much a symphony of horror as Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, despite its very grim, cold and dark atmosphere. Klaus Kinski is amazing as Dracula, the soundtrack is MASSIVE and everything is great to be honest.
 
It's simply a more beautiful film than Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, but it lacks the pure horror and terror from it, and despite Klaus Kinski's brilliant performance and look, he isn't quite as good as Max Schreck, nor does he look as good. Or move around as good, but he didn't need to either. But I love his body language. The way he talks, the way he moves his arms, the way he runs. It's amazing.

This might be rather off-topic, but ostracism is more damaging than any other type of bullying. Whether this occurs in school, family-life, your workplace, on the internet. Personally I have experienced ostracism first-hand since I entered high-school which is almost ten years ago, and I haven't been able to rid myself of the phenomenon yet and still experience being ignored on a daily basis. I have suffered from depression for several years now and ostracism has been the main culprit. Doing something as small as ignoring someone's request of whether or not you would want to upload a release can increase this damage even more because it might be someone's final droplet that floods their bucket. You might not realize it as the offender in this case, but behind that request can stand a person who has been victim of ostracism all his or her life. To me it is painful, yes, whenever I politely ask for something and I simply don't receive an answer because someone out there finds themselves too important to reply to someone who is not their friend. You might be missing out on an opportunity. Someone who seeks for this release obviously has already one similar interest as you do: music, and most particularly that one band you have a release of. Who says you cannot be friends?
 
The damage is not dealt when you say, 'sorry, I'd rather not share this music with you (for whatever reason you have)', but it's dealt when you straight-on dismiss someone's voice. While most of society believes that bullying is more damaging, it truly is not. But being excluded, isolated, and feeling invisible to other people leads more often to depression, self-harm and suicidal tendencies than any other form of bullying. There is a high effort underway of bullying-plans on the educational-and workfloors but people have yet to recognize exclusion of others, especially done so by mutuals and peers. 
 
This might not open up people's eyes and most will simply continue on with their means of dealing with people who seem annoying by asking of a simple request, but at least it is out there to make people realize it. And I strongly believe that if this truth isn't realized, then there is absolutely something wrong with this side of society.

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood
Castlevania 3
Darkstalkers 3
I just noticed, kind of on a vampire binge

Playing FF13 again to remind myself of the events and to get in the mood to start FF Lightning Returns once it arrives. I love this trilogy and I've heard the third is the best of the three so I'm looking forward to it. Better try out SE's older FF games too soon, it's taking me ages to play through their most favoured games.

Here's some HD-ness with my nappy rained on hair hahaha

I hate photos. I always look like shit (I'm not photogenic), so when I'm ""good"" (it's rare), I'm happy. xD
My PP from twitter :
 

I need big glasses to obscure my tiny Asian eyes.
This is part of my "Prospect" series (2 of 2).

Too many attractive people here, and then.. there's me.

First time with selfie/make-up and showing myself on here, outcome = fail. xD (Super blurred too, sorry and hair isn't done at all >.<)

finally going to get some full on black tongue action, pun intended

I googled 'black tongue' on images, and omg.  Don't.  xD

Hey everyone, I've been a long time lurker around here but have finally decided to introduce myself.

On a side note this website is really awesome and hopefully we can all get along

Because I'm a fail and I don't know how to copy and paste the desktop itself to insert it here, I've found the pic itself:

Chosen because, for the most obvious reason, I love them to death, they look so fab. And secondly, and more importantly, when visitors come round, my mama is super embarrassed when they see the family computer desktop wallpaper. >xD She loves me so much haha. It's so funny because Yuuki's clothing and pose is probably the most sexual thing I'd go as far as to display on the computer lol. Mama's proud.

I can understand where the above (now previous page lol) is coming from, with the vocalists being mentioned, but I also don't think they sound girlie. I think it's because when I think of a male girlie voice, all I can think of are the crazy, rather high-pitched Oshare singers. Sure some others sound rather feminine (to be honest, I've always thought that of Shou and Mao, not just for having distinctive voices). And about Asagi's and Ryo's voices, I can only describe them as bloody beautiful, seriously. I guess, as we can see above with the replies, it's all about how we hear them ourselves. Rather interesting, we all determine and label certain words differently. 

Whoever denies Gackt's beauty must be born without eyes.
 
Contributing a smirk.
 

A spool of thread or a banana lol
