WTF, Ju-ken?!? I can't decide whether I want to unsee it or see more; context would be nice. I wish I could find a better-than-youtube version of Hoshimura Mai on Music Fighter; their cameras were annoying, and the bassist was way off to the side (was tall, it could have been his bass and his favorite hat; the light-colored strap bothered me, though). Music Station had a closer grouping and focused on each support member at least once, though if I'd thought about it, I'd have realized that was impossible. I did ask nicely, so hopefully someone somewhere has it; I'm surprised there weren't requests already since L'Arc~en~Ciel was there, and it looks like the only version of that floating around is a converted-from-youtube type (HQ youtube, admittedly).
A late opinion, but I still don't understand why Gackt is the end of the world, but Koda Kumi was just WTF; I did look back and note that none of end-of-the-world people commented on that at the time. It's just recording one song, anyway. I would assume that money was a factor, but the length of the acquaintance might have been part of the reason as well; every little bit helps, but I can't imagine that recording one song would be worth a substantial amount of money. I'm just happy he's playing drums along with producing. If I could write fic, I know what I'd be writing.
I wonder how badly my sister would kill me if I bought my hypothetical niece a bunch of hippie clothes (psychedelic patterned dresses! tie-died onesies!). I'm slightly disturbed by the amount of outfits with spandex leggings in the 3/6 month sizes; partly because spandex leggings and partly because I thought at that age, one wanted things with snaps to make accessing diapers easy. I would hope they are loose-fitting and easy on/off, but it still seems like it would be inconvenient.
I need to feed and medicate my poor cat; why is he sleeping in such a way that I can't get up instead of complaining about how he is STARVING TO DEATH and must be fed NOW?
