It's 25 degrees in she shadow and beaming sunshine in Saitama today.
Woke up from a call from SoftBank 40 minutes ago saying Malin's phone had arrived. Ah, so we will go and pick it up at AEON soon..
Fist looking a bit at ~Super Visual Battle Royal~ PS COMPANY Spring Super Athletics Meet.
Ahahaa, funny people. This time it's Screw, D=out, Vivid and Alice nine there playing around. Right now they are dancing ballet. It's just priceless. Even more priceless is that Kouki from D=out knows the routine perfectly.
Auuum. Talking about something else entirely we have been talking about getting down the wall between our and Livia and Daisy's balconies. We are out there often and talking to each other, and we always lean over the rail and it's really troublesome xD But we asked the manager if we could take it down somehow, and of course I expected her to say it was too troublesome and such. But, she was like "Sure, I'll come see if it's possible!"
And it was 8D yay. So now we have one big balcony instead of two haha. Of course we will put it back up when we move.
On top of taking the wall down we went to AEON and bought some stuff so we could clean it properly. It was soooo dirty eww. Took us around two hours xD
Haha sorry guys! I just had to upload it. XD
The difference XD our side is grey, the other is brown.
I bought two mini-flowers in the 100yen shop yesterday haha. They are really cute. Wonder how long they will survive. I'm having them outside at the balcony for some extra light. ^^
So, now it's as clean as it gets, and it's soooo big now, woho.
Oh, the Super Athletes are right now imitating "insane headbaning" in groups of four, trying to get as many points in a step counter as possible. Vivid got 129, D=out got 64, Alice Nine got 3 steps
and Screw got... 0.
I'm going to live a long time thanks to these guys, I can't stop laughing at them. XD
It's been around 21-22 degrees outside in the shadow today.
So, summer is definitely here soon, haha. Well, it's been like Swedish summer for a few weeks already but now it's getting really warm.
Mew, not so much news.
Me, Alex and maybe Daisy will go try get into DIAURA/Nil admirari/L&DS/SCREW/Lycaon/OZ/ZUCK in Takadanobaba AREA now on sunday. We don't have tickets though, so maybe it will sell out but I don't think so. We will give it a try if there's still tickets left Sunday.
Then on Monday it's time for Mejibray/OZ/NEGA. Oh, I've been looking forward to that for a looong time now! Finally it's soon here 8D
Just some.... random pictures. Feel free to tell me if there something you want me to take pictures of, or talk about. I'm pretty tried out on ideas all the time, that's why I don't post so much anymore. I mean, what would you guys want me to post? Pictures of food? Things we buy? Do you care? haha. I wouldn't mind suggestions. ^^
Wo, we went to IKEA... again. This time with Livia, Daisy, Kazuya and Alex. Me and Malin bought a small table that we've been talking about forever and a plant. Yay. I'm going to buy more flowers later :3
Haha, for some reason I get ridiculously happy by this sight. xD like Japan and Sweden are BFFs.
Table!
Took the opportunity to take some new pictures of our room too... if anyone is interested, haha. Our towels from concerts hanging on the bed... in lack of better place to hang around on.
The bookshelf-thingie we bought last time when mom was here ^^
OBAMABLOG! 8D This book is priceless. If you can, buy it!!
aaah Kenji completely normal. Don't take this picture and spread it around, I'll track you down.
Some of my cd's... very interesting, yeesss.
ねすみちゃん！
Oh yeah.. this reminds me I haven't written about the SCREW concert yet.. TAT sorry. It was awesome :p
purple plastic thingies they shot out over the audience.. me and Malin got a few.. haha. The pictures I got when I bought their album. Byou is next to para:noir on the edge, but not visible. bffyyy
Aaargh.
This is just going to be ramble about para:noir. This is para:noir.
Because I really feel like rambling.
If you don't care, feel free to come back another time.
So,
Dear Para:noir.
Why did you make me fall in love with you so much?
Because...
I think...
I don't know.
The first song I heard by them was this one.
I don't even remember when it was. Probably pretty soon after it was released a few years ago.
It was one of these songs I just randomly listen at when I feel like it, and I love it.. By now it really feels like an old friend.
Then as they released more songs I liked them, but I never actually followed them, or bought anything by them, except Nihilism. Just listened to youtube then and there. It's pretty uncommon for me to do it that way, I guess that's why I'm in this weird position right now. Because it feels like I don't have as much right to be upset about their disbanding as a more loyal fan.
Take DEPAIN for an example. I've followed them since they started, I've been buying their stuff, I saw them live first time two years ago and I've seen them twice (i think? haha) this year. I'm a loyal fan to them, so if they decided to disband right now I would feel like I had every right to be upset about it. I feel completely different about Para:noir.
Because, I only started to actually pay attention to them just a few months before they announced that they are disbanding. Then, when they announced it, it felt like... I missed my chance? Haha I don't know, I really don't.
Then I wanted to see them so bad before they would split up, and I did. I was right there, so close to them and the first song they played, which else but not The code number 13. LIKE, OF COURSE!
Then they go and release this one.
Ah, couldn't you release something really bad so it would be so hard to say goodbye? Okay, that's a horrible thing to say but I really feel that way.
I've completely and utterly fallen in love with amaryllis. I know it's not only me either.
Then... Then, then then they.. At the live, they played this song. I love it studio version too, but sometimes it's impossible to measure up to the same level as the live version.
I don't know if they have put some kind of spell on me, but this song... ah. This song. .______.
It just touches my heart and makes my insides all fuzzy.
Really..
One thing that really confuses me is that I no longer have a problem at all with his auto-tuned voice. Because I guess that's one of the main reasons I've never really fallen in love with them in the first place. But, ah. These last two songs really gets to me, and they won't let me go. Maybe because I heard nihilism live first, so I associate it with the live. The part that is at 03:40 and forward, when he screamed that live I almost fell down to the floor haha, it was so.. I don't really have words.
So...
They are disbanding soon, and I almost bought tickets to their final live before Alex reminded me that we're going to OZ/Mejibray/NEGA the same day. ARGH! I love the fact that I have this problem, don't get me wrong here, but gosh that's so heartbreaking for me at the same time. If it was someone else playing that day I would have said screw that one, but it's both OZ and Mejibray, so. It's okay. Nega is also good..
Uhuhuhu. The fact that I could go but can't is what's bothering me.. and the fact that I seem to love to torture myself.
Why else would I walk happily into the dead end, even though there's signs everywhere it's a dead end?
Meh, whatever. I know I'm thinking way too much into this, but I said I felt like rambling and I wasn't joking.
Soooo~
Have a nice day, goodnight! I'll torture myself a bit more with nihilism before sleeping, woho.
Oh, and yeah. School started today, yay. It was fun to be back after two weeks holiday.
Me and Alex were bored yesterday so we decided to go to Shinjuku to try and find the Like an Edison store there. It's a well known store selling only visual kei stuff. ^^ I've never been to the one in Shinjuku, so we didn't know how hard or easy it would be to actually find it. We just had the small map from Like a Edison's official site. Which looks like this.
Well, it's way easier than it looks. We walked out the west exit on Shinjuku JR station and then we followed a few maps on the streets. The thing is that you have to be very careful with the maps on the streets. It's easy when there's a station nearby because the tracks are really easy to go by. Because you see, here, they like to confuse you. XD ehm well not really, I guess.
But they keep changing the maps in the streets. Like yesterday, we looked at the map in the station and it worked well with this one. We walked for about five minutes and then we saw another map so we thought we should double check. That map was up-side-down compared to this one. Whaaaat xD fortunately I'm really used to the weird map system, you just have to be really careful when you follow the maps.
We found our way directly without any problems anyway. Wohoo! I really like Like an Edison. They don't only have CD's, but live merchandise, different books and booklets, a magazine archive and stuff like that.
We looked around for a while in there. I still haven't find the Depain and Mejibray stuff I want, aargghhh.. They seem to be completely sold out forever. I bought Para:noirs Nihilim anyway. It's soo awesome. I also bought the latest CURE magazine. It helps me keep track of lives and stuff, yay.
When we were done and got out of the store Alex spotted a store called Club Indies... I've never heard of it XD it's a really small cozy store with also just visual kei stuff.
After that we went to Shibuya just to walk around. It was around 19-20 degrees and the sun is soo warm!
Pretty flowers by Hachiko.
We were in Shibuya for a while, recharged our phones at SoftBank, walked around a bit but then we decided to go home because both of us was really hungry.. and we craved our favorite restaurant xD
Ate by the station~ there was a heart in my soup.. haha
The moon was so big O:
Today I haven't done much... need to study since school starts on monday.
Tomorrow me and Malin are going to Akasaka BLITZ to see SCREW. yaaaaay~
argh I'm going up to our room and get their CD.. I have barely had time to listen though it. Such a bad fan.
on Sunday I think we're going with some people to a family in the neighbourhood that will hold a hanami party. It's basically a party where you watch the flowers. ^^ apparently they have really old cherry blossom trees, so I'm looking forward. Livia is going to be home too! yaaaaay! <3
