gonna try them y'all are really loving it

@chemicalpictures はじめました means to have started doing something. so literally, 絶望、はじめました。 would be "i've started doing despair," or in better English, "i've begun to despair." but actually, it's more than that. when a Japanese person says he/she is 絶望, the immediate connotation is that he/she does not want to do anything, and never that they are motivated to do something. so putting 絶望 together with はじめました is self-reflexively ironic, and it's likely that it's meant to be read 'playfully' along those lines. and thanks for the vote for confidence lol... i'm actually teaching in the university haha ^^

ahaha, i see. yeah, some words can have very different meanings when changed subtly.

that would be correct if you translate it literally, except it sounds a bit awkward in english (one of the biggest struggles of translating japanese). i would put an "and" after despair to make it sound somewhat smoother. or maybe i might even translate it to "despair, and how do you do?". not sure if that was helpful. :/

*grabs handy-dandy razor blade* 死にましょう

just be on the lookout of his actions, and stay safe~!

Shit lol, I bet this will never happen. lol

sadly it's not the lyrics. here's a rough translation of what he wrote:
There are people who say they know the privately kept lyrics of girugametal's song "stupid", or those who know it by copying them down by ear, but in a sense, it would be nearly impossible to copy them exactly. I mean, I kept the lyrics sealed away because they were too stupid, but to think that I might reveal them someday...I'm scared of the flow of time.

i'll see if i can make it! >_<

there's a section under words & images for it! ^^

temari actually has new project!!!!

That kinda reminds me of old Malice Mizer... But to walk in the street like that - just no. lol 

was listening to them today, miss them too </3

^was about to mention that one.
here's two other similar ones (i mostly know their older songs only):
(couldn't find the original song on youtube so here's an acoustic ver.)

The song in the Video is Uverworld - Hitori Ja Nai Kara

All it's missing is some YAOI HANDS.

i don't know much about shibuya kei but Spiral Life are considered as shibuya kei. just an older duo group. would say they're more jazzy and they also have some shoegazy stuff.

As far as I know CDJ, YesAsia, and HMV don't offer online gift vouchers anymore. But I think Amazon does. Thanks so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it!
