35 Years.

The Star Wars Saga turned 35 today. It seams like its been longer for some reason.

( one in 1977, one in 2007 )

I had quite the juxtaposition experience this weekend. It was both a horrible weekend, and a great weekend.

NHK did a special Visual Kei music show thing, about 7 bands which included the GazettE about September of last year? I think that's awesome, as, i'm sure most people tend to forget (or may not even fully know/realise), Visual Kei Jrock is quite far from mainstream entertainment, so Visual Kei bands are hard pressed to get a lot of the "A status" ( Read more... )

Kavki Boiz - Japanese Rock

The interesting thing about Miyavi is that - he tends to be written off has being less talented as he actually is. It also seams like some people flat out refuse to even acknowledge it - even after it's been proven to them that he does have skill.

For a while L'arc en Ciel and Gackt were the only jrock acts that i was really crazy over.  I've found and like other jrockers and bands, but none of them, other than Malice Mizer, were really big enought to be up there on that 'Mt.Olympus' with Laruku and Gackt.
