AWESOME BLOG POST ABOUT VK RITE HERE. That would be a Japanese person echoing everything I've ever read on Japanese websites.
ALSO
FUCK AKIBADO. FUCK IT. AFTER A FUCKING YEAR OF AGONIZING AND PLEADING WITH THEM ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ITEM SHOWS UP? WHAT THE FUCK.
I also loved the email they sent after raeping my deposit for fees, which claimed they ask for them periodically. UHM NO YOU DIDN'T. IF YOU'D ASKED, I WOULD HAVE PAID THEM RIGHT AWAY. FUCK YOURSELVES. BUT YAY I CAN GET MY SHIT FINALLY OMFG.
I've also not heard anything from SMJ, even though I sent them a deposit like a year ago. I never got an email to confirm they got it. I should probably go check the bank statement/paypal to see if it even went through.
And FUCK EBAY AND YAHOO!JAPAN'S AGREEMENT. WHY DO THE JAPANESE GET THEIR SHIT BEFORE THE REST OF US????? I JUST WANT TO BUY SHIT FROM JAPAN WITHOUT FEE RAEP OKAY. Gah, and there's a copy of Un*Balance by itself on Yahoo for a reasonable price. FUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK.
EDIT
Gods, I've just written a bio for L'Arc that clocks in at nearly 1,500 words. And that was after leaving a fuckton of detail out. Long career is long. But yay, new material for
shiro no hai. (Needs editing before being posted that I can't be arsed to do right now, though.)
AND HOLY SHIT. Blogger has a feature similar to checkers on livedoor. NOW IF ONLY I COULD REMEMBER ALL THE URLS I HAD IN THAT LIST. Actually, I think I still have some of them in the links from kaxxii.com, thankfully. Some of them are defunct, too, like YASU ROCK and JUN's blog BECAUSE HE FELL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH.
