Christmas and New Year
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to all our friends here in Livejournal!
The pic is from HMV Japan - it's quite cute and somehow reminds us of the Hydeist website.
It is still like two weeks to go until this year comes to an end; but due to heavy workload, travel back to our family and restricted internet access during our holidays (although Mum got broadband now - but family comes first over Xmas and we intend to spend lots of time in the kitchen cooking for our kinship) here is
shochu66 Review of 2006
January: depression and frustration concerning our job and our whole live carried over from 2005
February: rien speciale - but we start plotting our visit to Japan to see Hyde Faith 2006
March: first third of the year is kind of a roller coaster for us, but the skies start clearing
April: Ne-san gets her promotion - she deserved it more than anyone else! The planning gets more and more detailed...
May: we are enthusiastically buying our Faith tickets via yahoo Japan (with the help of Crescent shop) - spending money was never such a pleasure than now...
June: starts with an unforgettable Kabuki perfomance in London. The next day we are on our way home for family reunion (1 week) and after straight to Japan and Hyde Faith 2006 (2 weeks) - our treasured Island Summer in Shikoku!

July: nothing spectacular but we are in high spirits after our Japan trip.
August: a lovely daytrip to the English countryside - walking along the River Arun from Arundel to Amberley
September: Little sister gets her promotion as well - we are financially better off now and news from the L'Anni~ver~sary Live reaching our shores...
Acquisition of the month: 2 Hyde rings made by Alex Streeter.
October: is spent with the preparation and planning of our Super Weekend
November: countdown to our weekend in Tokyo which brings the 15th L'Anni~ver~sary LIVE - and for us a dream comes true: short before our ..ieth Birthday we celebrate with L'Arc~en~Ciel in Tokyo Dome

December: shigoto, shigoto, shigoto. Lucky we have our Faith DVD to watch...
X-mas made ganbarimashou!!!
Altogether it was a good year - much better than the year before. We've seen and done things we would have never dared to dream of and thanks to the impact Hyde and his live performance had on us, we discovered a complete new side in us: "All we really need is euphoria"...
We had great times, a few drawbacks of course, and the outlook for 2007 is not too bleak - we will soon launch our project L'Arc~en~Ciel Tour 2007 - and if kamisama keep an eye on the two of us, we will be there!
