I love this song!!! This is the first song from Riku's newest band that I've heard. I loved Riku in Phantasmagoria and both he and Kisaki are together again in 凛!! I'm soo happy. They really do make good music together. Anyways... there is alot of English in this song but it's woth it. Riku does such a good job with the english words that I don't care how much english is in it. The beat is perfect, the lyrics go well with the music... and I haven't found the translation of them yet. I'd do it myself... if I knew more Japanese that is.
The video is quite interesting with mostly special FX but it seems to work well with the song.
Well that's all for today... I'm not feeling that well.
Support the artists because they aren't as popular as foreign fans seem to believe they are. Believe me I was one of them...
If you can't buy the songs yet then listen to them on a youtube playlist by creating a FREE youtube account.
Thanks for reading...

Gazette- Vortex
The song "Vortex" by Gazette is an amazing song.
There is English laced throught this song, and most of it is swearing... but it adds to the depth that this song is able to portray. I sort of get the music video but not really. Like... the song is basically about a person that can't stay with this other person because of what he/she does. Including muder, and just being "garbage" in general.
Anyways the whole video is set in a room covered with those huge sound stereo systems. There are two of them... one of them is red and black, while the other is white and black. In the red room is where Gazette plays and such. The white one is occupied by this crazy guy in a straight-jacket. I figure that this guy is supposed to personify the individual whos actions Ruki sings about.
Anyways... I love this song. The whole intesity that is has aswell as the lyrics itself and the use of the English language to get the point across.
As usual... support the singers because their lives are much tougher than they show their fans. And I still haven't found that link... I'll get it to you guys asap.
kk then,

Hey everyone!
Hey everyone,
as you might've guessed... I love Visual Kei/ Scene Music.
I'm going to pick a song from one of my favorite artists and just blab about them each day. I will be putting the original title (kanji included) and the romanji and the translated version aswell. I will also do this for the artists if I'm able to find them.
Today's song is:
優しい嘘 (Yasashii Uso --> Gentle Lies) --> Acid Black Cherry
I must say that this song is wonderful. The lead singer looks downright hot in the music video. I don't quite understand the video but it has two puppets controled by a girl and then the girl's father comes and she drops them. They seem to be alive tho because the male puppet wants to touch hands with the female one but isn't able to... All I do know is that this song is very powerful even though I don't know the meaning of the lyrics.
Anyways.. Good song and I hope that you get to listen to it.
As always... support the artists and buy the songs.
I know that there will be some of you that can't afford them for various reasons... the same with me. But I also know that Youtube has playlists that you can make once you get a FREE account. So enjoy the music that way before you can afford it. There are also ways to download the songs but I've stopped doing that when I found out how tough the life of a Scene artist is in Japan.
I honestly didn't realize before I read an article about it. I can't find the link right now... but i'll find it and post it with the next song recommendation.
Thanks for reading and I hope that everyone is able to afford the cd's at a future point in their lives if not right now.
またね、(matane --> see you later)
