I dreamed that I had to drive home by myself from northern to southern California. I wasn't sure how first until I realized I could use Google maps on my phone. I started driving but I ended up at a dead end and had to walk. I saw a pool with really dark blue water and this person was showing someone else a narwhal in there, which swam from one end of the pool to the other. I ended up at a potluck or something with a few relatives and there was a dog which wasn't trained and kept trying to bite people. I pet it and thought it was cute. Then a polar bear came and we recognized each other and I greeted it and touched its paw before it went to get food. I don't know why I dreamt about animals from the North Pole.

I hope the picture means that UNDYING will be dark and melodic.

No. Have you ever encountered anything you couldn't explain like the supernatural?

the GazettE - Psychedelic Heroine

No (don't really play many video games anymore). Have you ever ate snacks instead a proper meal due to laziness?

Darn I will be at school. Otherwise I would love to meet up with other visual kei fans.

Yes, but only once. I would like to go again. Do you play Magic the Gathering?

I wonder if the lives will be before or after the release of UNDYING.

How long do their lives usually last? I really want to go see them in San Francisco but I have class the next day.

My favorite tracks on DOGMA were DOGMA and OMINOUS too. I thought most of the other tracks were mediocre but those two were just amazing. They were so atmospheric! Nice to see we have something in common!

This. I was so hyped with OMINOUS but with the exception of the title track the album didn't deliver. I didn't hate it but it would have been so nice if they had kept the atmosphere of those two tracks for the rest of the album.

the Gazette - Regret, Filth in the Beauty, and Hyena Seriously debating whether or not to open these. I wouldn't listen to them otherwise, and I don't have any plans to sell them.

Do you like that labels rise up the prices of the CD's even if they don't really give us something extra? No, I don't think anyone would. Do you like that labels stop to sell digital because they want to sell the real CD only? I don't care, since I only buy CDs. If they stopped selling CDs I would stop buying though. Do you think that the price rising is because of the 8% tax? I'm not sure. I haven't really noticed any increases in price, but that's probably because I buy new releases only once or twice a year. Do you think that price rising really brings in more money? Maybe, but not necessarily for the artist. Would you stop buying if an artist/label stop their digital releases? No How much do you think that your favorite artist gets from album/CD sale? Or do you think that the label gets everything? I don't know enough to say.

1: Do you buy multiple versions of releases, or buy at all? (Judgement-Free-Zone) No, I only buy the version with the most songs. I don't buy live DVDs either, because I don't really want to spend time watching a performance or a PV because I can't really multitask if I do that. With that said, if there are different songs for different versions I would probably buy all of them. 2: Do you collect cheki or other non-music related items from bands? No, not sure how to get them overseas, although I might if I knew how. I do have a couple posters. If I went to one of their lives I would definitely pick up some merchandise. 3: Follow them on Ameblo, Twitter? No, only on Facebook. I don't have a Twitter account. 4: Would you follow them on the street? I might ask for an autograph or a photograph. 5: Dig through their trash? (Judgment-Free-Zone) No (I'm not sure what this means) 6: Does Visual Kei or other forms of your musical taste influence your style or personal life? Yes, it is the only thing I listen to and some of the songs make me look at society in a critical way since I don't really keep up with the news otherwise. 7: Desire to move or visit Japan influenced by music? Yes! I would at least want to watch a live in Japan even if I can't move there. 8: Do you read dirt-sheets of bands, like rumours, gossip, etc...? No, it has never crossed my mind and I wouldn't know where to look. 9: Ever fantasize about being friends with band members? No. 10: Do you want to be in a Visual Kei band (or any other kind of band)? No, I am happy just listening to it.

The first Chinese music that I listened to of my own accord were the theme songs for Red Cliff by Alan: 心・战 ~RED CLIFF~; Heart, War ~RED CLIFF~ and 赤壁 〜大江東去〜; Red Cliff: Great River Gone East And I only stumbled upon them after hearing the Japanese versions and realizing that the singer was Chinese. I also like Frances Yip's 上海灘 (Shanghai Bund). I heard it a few times as a kid and it stuck with me. It's funny that my ethnicity is Chinese but I have listened to almost no Chinese music.

Well this is kind of hypothetical for me since I've never been in a relationship before but infidelity and smoking/drugs/alcohol are a pretty big deal to me. Lying could also be a problem. Honestly I can't even imagine continuing in a relationship once there infidelity occurs.

Darn I was thinking about getting into their music and I really liked their look. That is a pretty stupid reason to disband though.

Fell asleep at my computer around 7 PM and woke up at 8:30. I pulled an all-nighter the day before and I have class at 9 AM and I thought I had unknowingly slept through the whole night since I felt really well-rested. I hadn't even started on an assignment I needed to turn in for that class, so I hurriedly did it and finished at 8:51. I thought it was still pretty dark outside and checked my computer and realized that it is 9 PM and not 9 AM. I feel like that person in the movies who makes a bad decision and wakes up to find that he/she has been given another chance. Seriously, it is such a crazy feeling. Needless to say, I won't be squandering this time before I go to sleep for real.

That kind of happened to me with engineering too, but I found a part of the field that I enjoyed so it wasn't all bad. At least you are almost done! Good luck!

My username actually comes from the name of this photo (not mine): 月の渚 I'm not that attached to it but I do like it. I use a couple of other Japanese usernames if this one is taken and those are usually not taken. I'm kind of paranoid that someone will somehow find out that these usernames are linked and track them back to me though (lol). I have heard horror stories of that happening before.
