"After Cloudia" for the Soul

Aug 10, 2010 13:17

Emotional meltdown last night; had long, 2am conversation with my actual sister. So I was emotionally and phyiscally drained, slept till eleven (God, I hate that) and am now suffering dead-brain. I believe I told aerysa that there was a difference between stupid-braid and dead-brain. Stupid-brain is much more of a delirium, like what happens when you ( Read more... )

Ah the bedroom voice.~ <3 I love Kamijo's bedroom voice. I love Kamijo's facial expression when doing said bedroom voice in the video. They actually played After Cloudia when I saw them in London which surprised me. I love the song, but I never thought it was one of.. you know.. 'those' songs. If you know what I mean. I hope you do, because I can't think of a better way to describe it. I guess it's just not one of those 'epic, well known' songs & therefore not on demand to play during this recent tour? IDK. @_@; I definitely wasn't expecting it, at any rate ( ... )

Everyone loves that voice. His face is kind of a bedroom face too. Like, a shy, relaxed, and blissful/bashful kind of look. Depending on how you look at it. It was almost as awesome as the smile in my dream. Almost ( ... )

I experienced the same devastating feeling when they skipped out on the UK when they toured Europe in 2008. Especially as they did fan meetings/signing sessions then, too. I would have travelled to Sweden if only I had a passport at the time. ...Oh well. No signing session, & the opportunity to touch Kamijo's flesh never presented itself.. he simply stood before me with a gaze that pierced my soul, like the tantalising bastard that he is. But I at least have one of their personalised guitar picks & the right to say "I touched Hizaki's wood (of his guitar)." Which more than makes up for Kamijo's inconsiderate behavior ( ... )

Right well, you got your second chance, so I'm expecting mine. You should write Kamijo an angry letter. "You're too sexy for your own damn good and you're so inconsiderate of the effect you have on me!!!" Or something like that. I don't know if that would help, or if it would stroke his ego ( ... )

I'm sure you'll get that second chance. A lot of people state side got pretty angry about it, right? They won't be able to avoid it forever. I've been considering sending him angry letters about certain things for the past few years. Pretty much every time something goes wrong for me involving Versailles I go ahead & blame him. Even though I know it's usually not his fault ( ... )

A lot of people were angry. I was sad, but I think I understand what happened, so then I was okay with it. I'm pretty sure they chose to tour Latin America this year instead of North America. I don't think that Latin America gets a lot of tours, plus Versailles had never been there before, and as they had already been here, they made a choice. I think they're trying to make sure everyone got to see them at least once, I respect that. Just expect them to visit soon. Must say, I think Kamijo would be flattered to see the effect he has on you, haha ( ... )

Oh, while I remember... Watched the History of the Other Side performance of "Beast of Desire". You only like it because Kamijo keeps touching himself, right? And because of the way he was playing with Teru's face! I'm on to you....

Was a good performance, but it was kind of trippy too. They did a good job of combining the footage from different nights, but it was obvious that their clothes and the venue kept changing throughout the video, haha :) Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I watched it.

At first I had no idea why England was skipped back in 2008. But after reading something from Teru's blog recently, I started to think maybe it was because they had concerns about how they would be received here. Teru said that they were all anxious about playing in the 'country of rock'. I'm so pleased that their fears were cast aside as soon as they started playing & experienced our reaction. I don't know about North America though, since technically they never toured there. Perhaps they're still feeling butthurt about the incident that occured the last time they were there. >_ ( ... )

Right, there's logic to it all. But it's just hard for the rest of us to be patient, especially aftering hearing everybody's stories about the tour. Even so, it's got me twice as excited for what can happen once they do get here... And... incident? What incident ( ... )

Ohh, the incident where they were forced to add Philharmonic Quintet to the end of their name after a clash with the American band Versailles. D: Suck ( ... )

Oh, that thing. I don't think they'd still be dwelling on that. The whole reason they tacked on "Philharmonic Quintet" is so that they could tour here without trouble. What's the point of making the effort if they're just going to stay sour. I really think they just chose Latin America over us. And I tried looking for some music by this American Versailles. Nothing. So I don't really know who they are ( ... )

rosen_schwert August 14 2010, 19:18:39 UTC
I don't think so either. I was just coming up with random alternatives for the sake of it. >_> I never even bothered with looking the music by the American Versailles. I was too busy feeling sorry for poor Hizaki to care ( ... )

Haha, they'll get here eventually. Not worried about it. Just anxious. I just wanna know now so I can make preps for my costume. I already have a vision; it will be epic! :)

That makes sense. It would be awful to release a single after he's made official and for him to have made no contribution. I know, I want a new PV too. It's been ages. Actually, I've always wanted them to do a PV for "Princess" because it's my favorite, and now that it's on a full-length album, my hopes have been restored. Got my fingers crossed; I want to be that princess!

It's too late! You've scarred my innocent mind! Waaaaahhhh! But it's okay, I guess. It's not your fault, it's Kamijo's fault for manhandling Teru. :( Meanie!

It's okay, you're forgiven. Still want to see a picture though. As for the contacts, vampire, zombie; they're both the living dead (but... are vampires dead?) Anyway, it's more important that you had fun anyway...

I was anxious. too. D: And so very ill prepared even though I had ages to sort everything out. The costume I wore was dark blue with black lace details. For no reason whatsoever. Anything it could relate to is a total coincidence.

Apparently there's three versions to it. Regular, & two limited edition types. Which is better than the 12 I was originally expecting. Probably means that there will be a PV with one of them, too.~ I wanted a PV for Princess, too. It's one of my absolute favourites, as well. It sucked that they released 6 different versions of that but not a single PV. >:\ *sulk*

Nuuu, don't blame Kamijo! Blame the French vibes that are seriously not good for that man! Or Hizaki's guitar for dying completely so Kamijo had the job of amusing the crowd for 15 minutes while the issue was fixed.

Gaaah! D': And I wasn't lying when I said all the photos are atrocious. It would be reeaaallllly inconsiderate of me to post any of them online. >__>

AT least you got to go. Costume is such a small part of the festivities. Only thing I can't think of are shoes. You can never see Hizaki's feet, so you never know what's going on under there... He probably has sneakers, lol Hmm... Maybe I should just wear boots for the hell of it. But could I stand to wear them all night long?! The agony!

Really? And where are you getting this information? Actually, nevermind! If they do do a PV for "Princess", Hizaki better not be said princess and I will audition! Yep yep! Hahahaha, not that I'd really be any good, but just because :)

It's all his fault! That douchy pimp-lord! Noooooooooo! And I can't blame the French. It will sound racist for one reason or another. And I can't blame the guitar because it's a piece of machinery; those have glitches all the time. I just blame Kamijo! *wails~* :( AND Teru for not defending himself!!! (maybe I could get that role for "Princess" - Don't you just love my melodramatic skills?!)

Fiiinnee. I give up.

From what I've seen I'm pretty sure Hizaki wears regular flat shoes with the long dresses. Whereas the rest wear chimney stacks & tower above that dainty princess. I wore boots all night. The agony did at least disappear while they played. But when they left me it came back so bad I could hardly stand up. Luckily I was still intoxicated by breathing air tainted (in a good way) by Versailles so I managed to endure it better than I normally would. Otherwise I might have cried ( ... )
