No need to wait; a translation already exists, as well as Kanji and Romaji. I translated none of this, and all credit goes to the girl running the blog, just sharing the link http://ameblo.jp/mary-nine/entry-11207154958.html

Darn, all the other shows are too far away. :/ Well, they seem hopeful that they'll come back next year. Hopefully they'll try to do Atlanta again.

I love the top one. And an eel for a pet sounds so cool! If I wasn't that scared it would kill me, I would definitely want one of these:

Gah, this really sucks! I think Moran have a beautiful sound, and I was really looking forward to their return from hiatus. It sucks that Hitomi and Soan are the only members left. . . :[

We've only gotten snow once here when I was 5. It's usually so hot here.The weather for my city--> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresno,_California#Climate Lol, same. I'm over on the other coast though. xDThere's rain in the forecast for tomorrow, I'm so happy!

I wish we were getting snow. It'd be a relief since it's hellishly hot here.

What? They're just switching labels? Don't assume they're going to stop being visual, or wait are you one of those people who automatically assume bands turn "poppy" because they go through stuff like this?And any word on what label they're switching to? I was really into this band, hopefully the label change can bring back some more "Boudou generation" stuff. S/he isn't assuming. Their official comment states that the reason they're leaving UNDER CODE is because they no longer want to be visual :/.Their official comment also says that they'll announce the details of their graduation (future label if any, etc.) at their graduation live on September 28th. But since they're dropping visual kei, that rules out most of the labels we're familiar with. Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to sound presumptuous. I read a brief summary of what was happening on another site and it seemed like they wanted to leave the visual scene. I was just hoping to confirm it since I wasn't certain.Thanks inartistic ^^

Lots of D=OUT photos! xD I guess I'll share a few. Reika, Ibuki and Minase (D=OUT) Angel-Taka (Noiz) Masakazu and Tetsuya (M) Mashiro (PaRADEiS) (all pictures of M are usually cute xD) Mikage and giant banana (VII Sense) Cecir (E'm~Grief~)

It seems like they no longer want to be visual. . .? Well, good for them either way. ^^

Haha, it really does look sort of slutty. xD It's a disappointment. :/ They're capable of releasing better songs than this.

I'm happy for TV marathons of old shows that run until 7:30 in the morning.

Wow, everyone is really pretty! My picture is terrible quality, but it's me!

you're right, I live in Italy. In fact I use a shopping service for this! yeah, I love it XD thank you so much! @Kles: cool items, I like Royal Order so much! (though it makes me think at Lycaon's album! XD) Is all right to ask what sort of shopping service you use, and if it works for Amazon Japan as well?

thank you! I love Putumayo ;_; but I always buy clothes new-with tag from yahoo japan/mbok 'cause from official webshop are BLOODY expensive @_@ can't wait to wear it! XD But you live in Europe right? How do you get things off of Mbok? I thought they didn't do overseas shipping!

These were the best I could find of the Vivid members. And I couldn't find any of Ryoga. :-/ I hope that's okay. Shin Iv Reno Ko-ki

Ah, I'll fix it then.

I know what you mean, Atlanta is the closest for me too, but it's such a drive! I'm not even sure I'll be able to afford the D'espa concert at this point, but I'm really trying!

No one's written about Muse since 2007? Well, I'll admit that I love Muse. Hoodoo is my favourite.

I quite like Slipknot. The first two were the best, but I really don't like the two newer CDs. However, I adore Snuff.

The Captain Frog outfit and the Putamayo outfit are both so adorable. <3 The last thing I bought is new speakers for my laptop. My audio port died so I had to buy nifty Chinese speakers that attach to my USB port.

That Screw picture makes me laugh. xD Yukimi from Canzel

Yes, they are! I only just started listening to them recently, but I like their sound. Thank you for the welcome!

I haven't liked their past few releases as much, but I'm always interested to listen to the music they release, so I'm really excited for this!

Wow, that's cool that they've already started making a new PV. It'd be great if they've found new members, but I've noticed that a few bands don't have a drummer and yet still have drums in their songs. It seems a little silly to do it for both bass and drums, but maybe they'll do something similar?

Saw this on Shattered-Tranquility this morning; Dir En Grey are going to be co-headlining a tour across North America with Apocalyptica. Is anybody thinking about going?
