I'm totally obsessed with this song by Gackt!!
It's a really good song that seems to be showing a good message... maybe about how the world is...
Maybe, this is just my opinion, the video has something to do with the ugly realities of life... Like I'm thinking of the woman that keeps popping up throughout the whole video. Here it is... maybe you have a diff take on it. I'd like to hear it if you do. : D
Any ways... support Gackt. He was in Malice Mizere and I'm not sure what happened with the band... maybe someone could explain what happened.

I need to do some more homework and then i'm off to bed...
I found a new Visual Kei band... but it's from Mongolia!! I do like the visual effect that they are going for... and I do like the music (even though NEO is quite synthetic). I guess the dilemma is that the band is a branch off of J-Rock Visual Kei. Really it's that I don't have a lot of time to learn the Japanese or polish language. I don't want to be learning another language on top of that!
Woow... this rant seemed to help... I'm just going to enjoy the music and not learn the language until I've mastered either Polish or Japanese. I love that Visual Kei is branching of to different countries and languages.
Here's the PV of Visual Moon's song NEO.
Maybe there will be a Canadian Visual Kei band... hmmmm.
Anyone want to be apart of one???
lol
Leave a comment if so.

also if you're interested in learning Japanese I can start a blog for "students" and try to explain things as I learn them; I also have some helpful sites that I can reference from and give you the links for so that you can get more info from them.
I finally had some extra money!!!
"Had" being the operative word...
I used most of it on the Visual Kei CD produced by Blue Planet Japan. This is a combination CD where many bands come together and sing one song. Part of the funds from this CD will go to "Red Cross Japan" (I'm pretty sure that's the name of the organization) to help with the rebuilding of Japan after the March 11th tsunami. That's the biggest reason for picking this Cd as my first purchase.
My second reason would be because I listen to some of the bands that are participating in this collaboration of musical talent. I also found some new bands that I really like to listen now. Therefore, I figured that this is a first good purchase for me.
One thing to remember when buying something from CD Japan:
Make sure you have the right mailing address!!!!
It might be a given, but I moved for university and slightly forgot my address. I thought that it was right though!!! Oh well, I should be getting a refund (before taxes) when the first CD I purchased (with the wrong address) gets sent back to them. In the meantime... I'll have my CD that I bought again. I sure hopes that it works out like that anyways. I can keep you updated with the progress.
I'm soo excited about getting this CD! I'm able to start "expecting" it either this Friday or next Monday. I'll be checking my mail box everyday starting Friday!
Here's the live video of the full song for you guys if you want to check it out:
Some of the singers weren't there when they did this (Ricky - Rin; Riku - Dansei; JUN ? - Hero; etc) so there are some lyrics being sung by different vocalists during the actual song. The music video was online at one point, but it isn't there anymore.
Here's a clip of the music video for the first half of the song:
It's really cool!!
(If I haven't made myself clear enough... I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!) It'll also be interesting if I'll be able to play the video on my computer. Hmmmm hopefully Windows Media Player will suggest a free download so that I can watch Region 2 coded videos. Oh well I'll find out sometime after Friday!!!
KK I should be going to bed since it's now waayy after midnight.
お休み!!!!

P.S. here's the link if you would like to buy the CD:
This is another one of my favorite songs from 摩天楼オペラ. I'm actually studying Greek/ Roman Mythology right now, the reference is that Helios is the name of the Titan Sun God before Apollo took over that job. The actual lyrics are beautiful and seem to really go with the Greek Sun God theme. I usually have this song on repeat right now because it's just that amazing to me. Here's the music video so that you can see for yourself how good (or bad :( maybe) this song really is.
