freesia

I can't believe this. Girugamesh's music has made a huge part of my teenage years less depressed. What will I do without them? ;_____; *cries in corner*

My first try on Kasumi Arimura hairstyle

1. UNDYING - This song didn't really give me a deep impression until reading the lyrics which Ruki wrote. At first listen, it sounded like the GazettE were trying hard to be heavy and dark but in a good way. Then I had the impression they were trying to put lots of dark and anger elements in one song - the screams, melodic choruses, piano breakdown which gave the song an eerie sadness feeling. At first line of the lyrics, I realized that this song is a sequel to OMINOUS from their album DOGMA. What Ruki wrote was really heavy, deep, angry, and dark. The line which gave me the most impact was "許されぬ願いに夢を見た", which I can only roughly translate as "Saw my impermissible wish in a dream", because I often dreamt of dreams that I wasn't able to accomplish myself. 2. MALUM - The meaning of this song matches quite well with the music. It's full of anger and hate because the first person character in the lyrics wanted revenge to someone who killed a girl (probably lover) close to him (or maybe her). However, despite of all the hate, Ruki wrote well in the last lines, saying that killing someone back was just emptiness no matter where you went and the reason to live also became was to revenge. This actually reminds me of the morality topic which was raised by several authors in Japan these years, which was about if imprisonment and death penalty was really enough for paying back the death of victims of murderers. (off-topic: Japanese author 東野圭吾 (Higashino Keigo)'s book "虚ろな十字架(Uturonajuuzika)" nailed the topic's contradiction well in his book.) 3. VACANT - This song, as with the lyrics, is less heavy than the other songs in the single. I interpreted that the lyrics of the song was about the emptiness left from a broken relationship. The melody and Ruki's voice flows well throughout the whole song, and the guitar solo gave a sad atmosphere....but that's it. I guess it's a safe song to put into the single as B side. Overall: It's actually been some time since I really tried to delve into Ruki's lyrics and I'm glad I did. It just added lots of meaning and fun while listening to the music. But then, I'm personally getting a bit tired of their dark music campaign which has gone to a bit elitist feel and I really miss the old, fun Gazetto times. Music and lyrics-wise, the is a decent single.

It seems like their tour is not going on smoothly. First Argentina then recently, the band missed their plane because the inspection station was too slow. Fortunately, they managed to get there on time.

He stands up when he thinks I'm going to give him food.

the GazettE is currently hiring roadies, only men.

I reckon they would find a better vocalist than Fukagawa. Even if they do, it's not the same Envy anymore.

This is my newly adopted bunny called Momoda. It's just a coincidence that I got him near Easter. Anyway, here's Momoda wishing everybun on MH a hoppy Easter Day!

Damn! Why not come to Hong Kong as well?! ;____;

I'm relieved to hear no one was seriously injured. They should consider buying lottery.

Ladybaby got the connections.

Ryo is so multi-talented as always!!! XD :wub:

good

Even though Trombe without an avatar seems more official and serious when he posts news, I still think it would be cool if he/she puts an avatar!

"Dame na Watashi ini Koishite Kudasai" was so much fun to watch! Shohei Miura is my new favorite actor now. I cried on episode 7 at the scene when Mogami cried when Shibata dumped him for Shunin...
