Amuro's album'll be released next week! But I've heard it already anyways, via unorthodox means. I'd like to say that the album rocks. I enjoyed half of the 12 tracks in it. Might get it once the overseas version is out. Here's the PV of the first track, Hide&Seek.
My first shot at drawing mechas. I realised 4B pencils are best for sketching....anyway...it looks like as though eva 01 has tooth decay or something. loooooool. XD
...NGE rooooccckkksssss!>D

Hisashi head profile sketch:
Hisashi+Glasses = <3 That was a sketch of Jiro in my previous post.
I've just watched NANA2 today. Argh! Why did they replace Aoi with Yui Ichikawa!?!? She can't act for nuts! But I'm happy Shin's played by an actual 15 year old kid. Mika acted better this time round...and Yuna's so pretty! XD Hiroki really REALLY fit Nobu's image...ahhh....sweet gullible Nobu!! >__< I love the scene where Nana accidentally broke one of the strawberry cup and breaks the other one on purpose later. Was teh ultimate sadness!!

now playing: 惡の華 - ラリー - BUCK TICK
random head profile sketches:
Not only do I suck at colouring...I suck at shading too. Oh dear...
I've heard the whole album and sadly there aren't as many gems as I thought there would be. Maybe after listening to Utsukushii namae I had really high expectations from the band. I'd listen to this album only for a limited number of tracks. Another worthy mention would be niji no kanata he, which can also be found in single utsukushii namae. The Back Horn's vocalist has a rather raw voice so I guess it takes more time to appreciate their stuff.
Namie Amuro - PLAY (unreleased)
I'm looking forward to this one, especially the rock number! Namie rooooocks.
Singles
Gackt - Returner~闇の終焉~ (unreleased)
Listened to the A-side, not too bad except that the tune of the intro and outro is the same as mind forest from album crescent (2003, if I'm not wrong.)...the only difference is that he made this one a few pitch higher. There wasn't any overly nasally voice this time, which is a good thing. Gackt always does those perfect vibratos for every line, he doesn't do it excessively, and I find it admirable. He also has a wide vocal range too, and that makes him one hell of an artiste. ...Just...no more nasty nasally voice please.
BUCK-TICK - RENDEZVOUS~ランデヴー~
I just heard this single this morning and was going like....the hell?!? Yeah, I didn't like it at first. But after listening to it numerous times, I found the A-side extremely likable. Gives me the warm fuzzy feeling. I love Atsushi's vocals in this one. I've never been an avid fan of BUCK TICK's, probably because some of their stuff are too hard for my casual listening. But B-T's definitely in my top 10 list of my favorite bands. Other songs worth listening would be "Dress", "Aku no hana" and "boku no Vanilla".
BUCK-TICK's site for their fest 07' has been updated with 2 additions to the performing guests list - rally and abingdon boys school. Both are kick arse bands. BALZAC and J are gonna be there too. WOWOW had better cover this live because obviously everyone is highly anticipating it. Rally's most probably gonna cover B-T's aku no hana, and I'm worrying for teru cuz his vocals are not gonna fit in nicely because the song isn't composed by our dear Takuro*coughs*. Other than that I'm sure Radio Caroline's ウエノコウジ、THE MAD CAPSULE MARKETS' motokatsu and Hisashi will all do their job nicely. (:

now playing: Flavor of Life - 宇多田ヒカル
If you're a J-junkie, you should know about this band called SKIN. Yoshiki, Sugizo, Gackt and Miyavi are in it. Seriously I have no idea why the hell Miyavi is in it. I find him extremely detestable. Obviously he's overrated. I don't care if some obsessive enthusiastic fan runs me over. I just can't see why girls go gaga over him. Bleh. Plus he's a newbie in the entertainment industry too. By the way I don't see any bassist there. WHY!? I don't know if the line up is complete...making anyone up there a bassist is a bad idea. They should include J!!! Yummilicious! Yo-sama made the right choice putting Sugizo in it. He's teh walkin' pRon. I think there are plans to revive X Japan too. But X Japan wouldn't be X Japan without Hide-sama...right?
Was reading uncle tete's blog when I saw the post on nine inch nails live. It'd be funny to see a whole horde of artistes going for a NIN live. Sashi, Himuro-san and Daita went among others. Don't know why but I find it extremely amusing... those people you normally see on stage are actually at the audience stand. ちょっと変だよ。。。(´Д`) でも迚も可愛ね?
