A year. It goes by so slowly.. yet so incredibly fast.

I can not, no matter what, get my head around that it has already been a year since Vistlip's accident.

I can't believe it. Maybe because the six months after was the longest six months in my life.. and after they came back time has just.. went by like water in a furious river. I don't know.

I just don't get it. A year. It sounds like such a long time. It is..
and at the same time it's not at all.

Time is such a weird thing.

Rest in peace dear Asako Sakakibara.
I'm sure you know, but your boys are doing good.

Tomo, Rui, Tohya, Yuh and Umi.

Calm life in the forest.

It's been a very long while since I enjoyed being out here as much as I do right now.
I dunno why, maybe because I've been sick for a while and I've been able to relax.
And Nellie is here with me, that is also a big bonus.

She's so much fun, seriously. <3 I'll try to take some pictures tomorrow.


We've sent in all our papers to the school in Japan for a final check so that everything is right, by mail that is. In August we'll send them for real, then it will be an horrible three months of waiting. I just want all the paperwork done, it's so consuming for some reason, to have it hanging like this.


Umm.

Tomorrow I'll go back to Malmö to go to the Thursday course with Lizzy-chan. It's been like three weeks now, blah. She needs blow off steam xD big problem ahead: I was at the club this Sunday and the river that floats by the training grounds was overflown, creating a HUGE lake-like mass of water all over the grass field. What seemed like hundreds of birds were around, and..... well.. Lizzy loves water. And birds. That's what she's bred for after all. Well, I just hope she likes me and candy more. Maybe. Not. Haha, we'll see.

Finishing with some candy.

9GOATS BLACKOUT got a new look. <3 

Uta reminds me of someone so bad, but I can't figure it out.. 

Rest in peace Isshi

Freedom, for freedom
anyone is bound by the word
Society lets us be out of order
Freedom, for freedom 
There is neither the hatred nor the sorrow there

I'm in shock once again. When I read it I was like.. not that Isshi, right?
but... yes.

I've never listened much to Kagrra's music, but they have always been there. I've always had great respect for them and... they have always been there. I remember as if it was yesterday we watched PSC Carnival 2005 and were impressed by their grand performance. I'm really in shock.



Rest in peace dear Isshi. You were way to young to go.

phase faith

When I see the word Faith I always hear Reita say it in my head, with his really bad engrish.. "Miss Faith." oohohoo, points to whoever knows what I'm talking bout.

Anyway, its a band called Phase Faith. They have been giving me petas all the time as long as I can remember of my ameba-time xD and for some reason they have never interested me that much, but then I saw this and fell in love x3

and then I stalked their stuff on youtube like they've been stalking me for years XD

I mean, they are still a very small band and all that, but I see great potential in them. Faito! <3

I'm in the couch with one dog on each side.. xD they're adorable. When I was walking them earlier I met our neighbor with her son, he's about two years maybe. He think dogs are pretty scary.. they're so big and all and  he's not that used to dogs, but I told Lizzy to lie down so she wouldn't be as big and suddenly she became much more interesting xD I had to keep Nellie away though, she just wanted to go up to him and give him kisses xD What surprised me then, was that Nellie also laid down and calmed down really quickly, on her own. I didn't say anything! I have no idea if that was a coincidence or if she read the situation that well. O: or maybe she was just too lazy to stand up.. lol. Too cute anyway.

Happy day~

It's been a good day (:
Calm, slow and.. calm.
Now before working the remaining of the week, but I look forward. :D very much so.



MusicJapanPlus wrote about Alice Nine's Spring Circuit [Prelude to "GEMINI"] 2011/4/25 Akasaka BLITZ

"Good evening! We're Alice Nine!" Shou greeted the audience during the night's first MC. "I remember when we celebrated our fifth anniversary here in Akasaka BLITZ... and now we're soon going on to 7 years!" he reminisced briefly, seemingly surprised by how quickly timed had passed. "Will you follow us till the end? Are you ready for more?" he then shouted, the crowd of course responding with enthusiastic cheers.
:3
 Much to everyone's surprise, Alice Nine performed "GEMINI", a daring, thirteen minutes-long track divided in three distinct movements which all seem to run together fluidly. Though it was the very first time this song was performed in front of an audience, the fans seemed to react naturally to the music by swaying their bodies and waving their hands. As the song came to an end, someone in the audience shouted "Awesome!" and the whole venue burst into raucous cheers


They talked about that on the next niconico after that live XD Saga was like "idiot, who wrote such a long song *A*" and the others were like ".... it was you." hahaha~ Saga is a goofball. <3

Then Nao told the fans that his father was attending today's concert but he refused to tell them where he was sitting. "Ah! Over there!" he teased as he pointed a finger toward the back, causing the fans to turn around and look curiously. "Fools! Made you look!" When a man on the second floor waved his hand at the audience below, Nao jumped to his feet and shook his head frantically, "Liar! You're not my dad!" he laughed. "You don't look like me!"
XDD

At this point the live had been going on for nearly three hour, but both the fans and the band's energy seemed to be undying.


Shou dedicated the next song, "4U" to Alice Nine's fans, and toward the end of the song, he asked everyone to let their voices "be as one" as they sang in perfect unison. "Last song!" Shou warned, the soft melody of "the beautiful name" enveloping the entire venue. In the end, it truly felt as if the audience and the members truly made one as they sang loudly together for a last time. 
<33

I'm almost dying when I'm reading this. The memory of me standing just a few meters from them, seeing them, being there with them... it warms my heart. I know I will see them again, and it makes me so happy.

Be as one~

Happy birthday Shou~

Happy birthday! ♪～♪～

your words and your smiles mean the world to me.

..More than just that, isn’t it important to protect the place where those who are going through hard times will return to?

I think there are many different feelings.

But, I believe that each and every one of those emotions can be linked through Alice Nine, through our music.

I’ve gotten serious again, but anyway, I want to see everyone’s smiling faces again soon.

That’s all I had to say.

By playing unrelated recent songs, we wondered what exactly is Alice Nine? What do we ought to be as Alice Nine?

I think it was a tour that allowed all the members -including me- to find the answers to these questions by ourselves.

The tour isn’t over yet, and I could only find answers pertaining to me personally,

but until I encountered music, it only seemed as though my every day life was gray, boring,

but when I encountered with this scene’s music,  my values, my dreams, everything changed.

I want to give back to this scene, so I want to do everything for the sake of those who’re linked to us.

They’re not just pretty words, it’s a real feeling.

It’s something I ought to do with Alice Nine, as I’m a human who is doing music for this sake.

The people I encountered throught Alice Nine…

I was able to revalidate that I can continue writing lyrics and songs that will become “something” -even if only a little- for those who have been touched by our lives and music.

You probably hear this a lot, but  I realized, I grasped that this is where the part that’s my core is.

“Stargazer:” spells out this unblurred emotions, it’s about my current state of mind.

There might be people who will give it a quick listen and feel as if it’s a meaningless pop song,

but personally, I think it’s a rock anthem which contains our passion, a peaceful heat like a pale blue flame.

It seems that the PV’s preview is out, and I’ll be happy if even just one person will be touched by it ヽ(´ω｀)ノ Hm

Next year’s Budoukan doesn’t feel like a compilation or a  commemoration, and of course it’s not a banal show like “we tried to do it” either…

With those who have supported us until now as well as those who will in the future, the same old Alice Nine will fight until our spirits are linked together.

Please be sure to bring all your friends.

But, before this!

After tomorrow at ZEPP Sendai, our last one-man live for this year. We’ll be burning back to ashes, so that’s at your own discretion as well! I’ll do my best.
