Today's my birthday, and it's been a nice, lazy day!
The best kind of day lol.

When your bank calls because you spend too much money on Japanese music to make sure it's you spending all that money... You realize you should probably cut back on the music haha

The BLESSCODE CDs were actually given to me by a friend who follows them, which was really nice!
Ensoku's Ensoku no Daiyogen
Cradle's Tropical Strawberry and Killer Tune--buying one CD at Hiroshima Tower Records meant it came with a bag and a cheki (1 per CD). 
 
I also bought some cheki from Oneness yesterday:

Ya, I hear you on that. I always have to wait till specific days too because of work.

I HATE IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS! It's always at the start of the week, meaning you have to wait until the weekend to go shopping for some new ones TT

@anakuro, ya thanks for your insight! On my website I just changed it to "kurai". Best to keep it that way probably. I'll edit this post the chance I can get onto my computer.
Man, this is why I don't share any translations or translate often. Japanese is beautiful yet complex.
BTW I have all the lyrics up on my site except for "Dokusou orchestra". Will have that up soon too!!

Ya, it could be "kurai" as in 'dark' and not "cry". I was uncertain about this too :/ kinda think it might be a play on words and may have a double meaning. But with the title of that event being "kurasugiru" they could just be meaning 'dark'.

Here are the lyrics to ザアザア-xaa xaa- song, "コワイクライ (kowai kurai)".
I'm also working on the lyrics to the rest of the mini album. 
You can find those here at my lyrics website.
 
コワイクライ
作詞: 一葵
作曲: 零夜
 
コワイクライ
 
コワイコワイ　寂しくて
クライクライ　悲しくて
コワイコワイ　今すぐに
クライクライ　その身体　さあ
 
コワイコワイ　愛しくて
クライクライ　嬉しくて
コワイコワイ　君だけは
クライクライ　僕のもの
 
二人だけの部屋
混じり気のない
さよなら孤独よ
ずっと幸せ
 
少し痛いけど
楽にしててね
すぐに終わるから
待っててね
 
君を誰にも触れさせない
きっと嬉しくて泣いてるんだね
君をこのまま縛っておきたい
愛してるコワイクライ
 
コワイコワイ　どこ行った
クライクライ　見えないよ
コワイコワイ　独りきり
クライクライ　捜すんだ
 
君の居ない部屋
混ざることない
さよなら嫌だよ
苦しくなった
 
もう許さないよ
なにがしたいの
楽になれるんだ
そうだよ
 
君を何処にも行かせない
外は嫌なこと溢れてるから
必要なの僕と君だけって
分かるでしょコワイクライ
分かるでしょコワイクライに
 
一つ　手を縛る
二つ　脚を縛る
三つ　目を塞ぐ
これで　僕のもの
 
やっと見つけた君のこと
叫んでるのは愛の証だね
痛みはすぐに消えていくけどね
悲しみは消えないんだ
 
コワイクライ
 
君を誰にも触れさせない
きっと嬉しくて泣いてるんだね
君をこのまま縛っておきたい
愛してるコワイクライ
 
コワイクライ　分かってよ
コワイクライ　この想い
コワイクライ　愛してる
コワイクライ　ずっと一緒だよ
 
コワイクライ

Since I am visiting more often, I have decided to put a face to the name.  This is me and my daughter ~ whom is a fan of AvelCain.
 

Getting back into the visual kei scene after a hiatus was nice. Really made me realize how much of a role visual kei plays in my life.

If there was one good, unsolicited piece of advice that I could give you, it's to not let the news affect your emotional well-being.
 
Negativity is a powerful emotion capable of altering your thoughts and feelings without you even realizing it. The news has been centered around reporting tragedies and drama for a long time. I think there's two reasons for this. One is that a lot of people don't want to read about good things that happen to others because it makes them jealous. The other is that tragedies naturally make for better news stories. Coming to this realization won't make the media change their business practices any time soon. I came to this realization as well a few years ago and discovered that all focusing on the media too much made me depressed and angry. I hated how the media focused on negativity but failed to realize how much I focused on the media focusing on negativity. I couldn't walk into a store without my eyes glancing across the newspaper, and then getting saddened at something bad that happened somewhere, and then hating myself for letting this negativity get into my life. I was getting nowhere fast and I wasn't happy.
 
Then one day I decided to try ignoring it for a week. Sure, it doesn't change the reality of what's being reported on but that doesn't mean that I need to know about it, right? And I have to say my mood improved for that one week but I had no idea what was going on around me and that's no good either. That's when I decided to pick a middle ground: I would stay aware of what happens around me but the minute I felt my mood going sour I would stop reading/thinking about it and do something else. After all, reading about people dying in a plane crash is sad but that doesn't mean I need a psychological breakdown of the perpetrator moments before death, you know?
 
I would try that and see if it helps.

Oh, cool~ The guy with purple hair looks cool lol

I... don't like how I look but... here we go...
 
 
Also, now you guys to see what Keru looks like.

It's okay about your age. I'm older here too than I feel like  may be the average lol So you're not alone.
Enjoy your time here! 

Thank you (:

Here's the kanji and romaji for the album. Lyrics

Thanks for the review! Will check out their new album! Heard only but good things about vistlip!

I've been really lazy recently. Don't have the motivation to do much like I used to. 
I just feel crappy. The year has been crummy, and I'm failing one of my college classes. 
But I can pull through, and worst case scenario I have to retake the class.
 
I need to look down deep within and find that motivation to keep going...
To work hard no matter what. I can do it! 

Thank you for taking the time to do this~ really like the lyrics. Gonna check out this CD now hehe

Yuuta? Oh, wow! That's awesome!

Been meaning to check out this single... I was a big fan of theirs when they first started out all the way through their AVEX-label era... then when they joined Timely Records, I wasn't a fan of what they were releasing. Maybe I'll fall in love with them again.

Just ordered these... Hopefully they'll ship this week or next week!
Excited! Been wanting to check out The♡Valentine.
