Looks pretty cool! I especially like Ruki and Aoi's robes.

I do the same thing! I don't download that many, so it makes it more interesting when I am.

When I go to MH by clicking from Google the first time I am always redirected to a website that looks like spam. When I type the website's URL I don't get this problem. Does anyone else have this happen to them?

Got so much work done today I was pretty surprised. Still sleeping late as usual but at least today I didn't mess around as much. This feels very fulfilling.

v[NEU] - 壊れた夜、並べた嘘

Namie Amuro's toi et moi This was the first song I ever listened to (as opposed to heard) and it got me into Pokémon music and got me interested in Japan in general. I first listened to it in 2006 on a bootleg Pokémon CD I got in China. <iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wfI-QPTnIas" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> This was my first exposure to visual kei. I stumbled upon it while looking for theme songs of Japanese horror movies. <iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jYEPl2uIAwU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The first GazettE song I listened to. Out of about 60 or 70 songs in my theme song playlist, only a couple artists stood out to me. This was one of them. Hearing this song really changed my life. Edit: The 2nd and 3rd songs are Kagrra's 呪葬　(Jusou) and the GazettE's 千鶴 (Chizuru). Don't know how to embed videos.

I was procrastinating on this assignment because I thought it would be really difficult but after reading over it closely it turned out to be fairly simple.

the GazettE - 「これで良かったんです」 What do you want to be in the future?

That is good to hear!

Nice to know that Mitsu is continuing his career in music.

From listening to the songs in the original post, I like Dir en grey better. I like their outfits from that time better and the music of DIR EN GREY is too heavy for me. I don't really like all the screaming.

Thanks for posting the text of the article Zeus. Is it true that most of the fans (at least at lives )are females? Never been to one before so I am curious.

Ruki's English when he is speaking sounds so different from when he is singing.

I am curious as to what people think about "spoilers" (not sure if that is the right term) for music. If you are waiting for a CD and one or more songs can already be found online, would you listen to them? Do you listen to a CD beforehand to see if you want to shell out money for it? Also, if you buy your music digitally, do you listen to songs before buying them? Do you look at lyrics beforehand to get a taste of the song(s)? Or a PV if it is out? I'm curious because I listened to the album preview for DOGMA as well as OMINOUS several times and I think they kind of skewed what I thought of the songs once I finally got the CD. I will watch PVs because I usually don't buy versions with PVs included, but I won't listen to the song itself. I did that with DOGMA and it got me excited for the song without spoiling anything. It seems like there is a fine line between getting stoked for a new CD and listening to too much and diminishing the feeling of novelty when you finally get it. Personally, I don't think I will listen to entire songs in the future again. I think clips of the title track are okay, though.

the GazettE - MY DEVIL ON THE BED What would you like to wake up in?

Same. Would have been an interesting read, I think.

The name reminds me of the character from Soulcalibur. Some of my favorite BGM is from that series, so I am interested in this.

In the commentary, Ruki says that UGLY is a continuation of DOGMA, and Uruha says that UGLY does not tell the same story as DOGMA, but keeps its atmosphere. He also says that making the PV with Heresy fans is a memory that will stay with him.

Yes, because that way I don't need to water my plants. Have you ever had an eye infection before?

I'm not sure about the exact English term for her position, but I believe she is an executive of PSC who represents it when signing contracts, etc. If you can read Japanese, I found this interesting article where she suggests that she could have saved Kagrra's Isshi from committing suicide by convincing him to stay in PSC. She also says that she was the one who asked them to disband, saying that while they could sell out at Shibuya Public Hall, she couldn't see them performing at Budokan, and that the members thanked her for saying that because they had been thinking the same thing. http://www.musicman-net.com/relay/121-6.html You can probably use Google Translate on the page, too. The relevant section is at the beginning. About halfway through the interview she also says that she cut her hair short the day before the GazettE's tour finale at Yokohama Arena on January 11.

Yes. Do you know more than two languages?
