Paraph

If I could marry one fictional character, it would be Balthier from FFXII. I've had a crush on him longer than I've ever had a crush on a real person lol

Forever hooked on this song.

This group is a real treasure. Ryo's voice is unbelievable

Never forget this absolute gem. I think I might still have this video lying around an old external HD somewhere, lol.

Also just to add: It slays and they can do no wrong amen.

I will never not love this.
 
 

that inconsistent censorship tho

Uhm.... yeah. 
 
 

cd cover revealed and its fucking sick

According to https://neotokyo2099.com/2019/01/13/luna-sea-vocalist-kawamura-ryuichi-had-surgery-for-lung-cancer/  it seems the cancer cells were removed and that it's unlikely he will need further radiation treatment. Wishing him well.

ABOUT TIME THEY DROPPED A LIVE DVD.
 
YES.

Fuck China.
It is a beautiful country (geographically) and I would kinda like to see those mountains and rivers and historical buildings in person, but I am not setting foot there while it's a communist dictatorship.
Besides that, since Canada arrested the Huawei lady, I run the risk of being arrested/tortured/executed for being a spy.
 
Also, I don't really understand how this happened, but my mother, who grew up in China and had her family's property and assets confiscated during the Great Leap Forward and had to escape illegally to Hong Kong, is still extremely patriotic to China and Mao Zedong. Every time the news mentions the Huawei situation, she starts ranting about how Canada is stupid for arresting her, and China is justified in arresting those Canadians. I've explained "extradition treaty" to her 3 times but she doesn't understand. (She's also very happy Xi Jinping has become supreme leader or whatever, and thinks it's totally fine that Chinese citizens who criticize the government get jailed and worse)
 
By the way, go look up what's happening in Xinjiang province with the Uyghurs (and other minorities). Disgusting and abhorrent.
Fuck China.

I just got a new job, a job that I wanted, that I was so excited for, and was SO worried that I bombed the interview. Turns out, I ACED it, and they're super excited to have me on board! And I'm so excited to be working after being unemployed for almost three months. It has been a long couple months, but I am kind of glad my old job let me go, since I now have a job that I want, and wouldn't have really pursued it otherwise. 

The fact that Sugar's SWEETEST is included here made my day.

^^ Yeah, it was. That was a pretty special couple of days for me. Pretty amazing lineup looking back on it over 10 years later

I get in Vidoll moods pretty often and spend time going through their old stuff. Love that there's a sizeable group of people here who seem to do the same.
Most of the major stuff was a snoozefest and missed the mark for me, but it's far more tolerable than a lot of other major vk acts at the time where. Jui's voice saved it from being truly garbage.
Even though it was such a tiny set, I'm glad I got the chance to see them once before the disbanded. I held on to that candy Rame threw at us for YEARS. Finally had to throw it away after I could see discoloration through the wrapper lol

Just happened to find a pic of some of Shuuji's stash while recording the latest album.  Some interesting stuff in there~

Also, Vinett is love, Black Coffee by Parfait is a gem, and Pink Cherry by PANIC*ch is the bop you never thought you needed in your life.

 

so does it become a "reveal" or an "unboxing"?
