Summary: Okay. So. Everyone and their mother has probably already seen this single already, buuuut.... >>;; On the off-chance that someone hasn't yet downloaded it, I'm uploading it here. :D And in regards to the single: I'm so glad that it seems as if Gackt is coming back into activity. *O* Sure, he had the Jesus in November, but....... Ididn'treallylikeit. :D;;;; I'm head-over-heels for GHOST, though. *O* It's currently my cell phone ringtone. (My mom hates it. *laughs*) But "GHOST" (and "Blue Lagoon ~shinkai~") is totally up my alley: electronic rock with dark, heady lyrics. Seriously, guys. I can't be happier. ♥

Summary: ...with this release, too. *laughs* I guess I was in a classics sort of mood when I was uploading? Anyway, I just recently came across The Crüxshadows when my Twin, her boyfriend, and I went through the music section of Hot Topic. I was poking around the CDs, looking to see if any covers would catch my attention 'cause I thought that it was high time that I got back into English music and... the cover for Dreamcypher caught my eye. I didn't upload that album, but I give you the first release from The Crüxshadows that I came across. ♥ "Birthday" has an edge of morbidism to it, but I love it for the message that it gives--it's a strong, up-front message and it doesn't flinch away and I really, really like it.
