Eh, that's so AMAZING! Your whole report has me so happy and feeling ridiculously high! I was very sad, because Kaya was about...seven hours drive away from me but I just didn't have any money to go this time, but reading your report was wonderful!! :D :D Thanks for writing it out so detailed!!

Ooh, I have a question because I am fail. Here:
"Hizaki...? お久しぶり..."
What does the Japanese text there mean? :D *innocent grin*

"Hizaki...? Ohisashiburi (long time no see) XD"

Aw man, you should've borrowed some money to go see him D: D: D: It was worth it, promise! And I'm glad you at least felt the happiness and glee we all felt that time. :)

Ahaha, make the cosplayers happy. XD He's sweet... ^^

I'm sure that I would have, but I'm actually right in the middle of a move across the nation. D: It was absolutely impossible. ><; Terrible, terrible....
>> Now apparently Versailles' making plans for a world tour.... that I refuse to miss.

He is too sweet, it's scary @____@

Oh, that's really too bad!! Talk about wrong timing D: Did you see him last year at PMX?

...Versailles' world domination. Yes. Definitely shouldn't miss it!

It's not scary at all, it's what makes him absolutely Kaya!! :D

No, that's the terrible thing. I actually haven't even known him for that long. *feels bad* But people like him grow on you fast, ne? He's like all of my dreams combined in one, I can hardly believe it. ^^;;

I'm already working my mom into letting me go. 8D It will be tricky, but I must succeed.

XD;

I haven't really known him that long either. I had emails about him since 2005 but didn't delve into his music yet because I was busy fangirling *cough*aboutsomethingelse*cough*

*pats* What's important now is you know about him! And totally agreeing with you on that one. He grows on you super fast. And his smile is utterly wonderful.

You have to go! You must! Even if it means endless tirades with you and your mom XD <---did that from July to September, until my mom finally gave up. LOL

I have only known about JRock since July of 2008! o_o And Versailles and Kaya only since March of this year. ><;;; It's so sad.... But then, I'm only sixteen. I often forget that I'm much younger than most fans.

Haha, that's how I feel exactly. I'm a bit sad that I've missed out, but at least it's all up there for me to see now. :P

You know what I'm really thankful for??... that I was able to find Versailles while Jasmine was there. Four months later and I never would have known him really. I will be endlessly thankful about that.

Ooh, I think that she's pretty nearly convinced!! :D I've beat it into her head that trannys are good people. :P So she's over their appearance, and she likes their music...
It's just my dad that's a problem. ><;;; Reasoning will never work on him, so we'll have to be sneaky. :P

OMG I envy you who are young D:

Yeah, if you're the type that's content with just downloading, then at least almost all of the good stuff can be found in YT or in comms. XD Aww, Jasmine T___T I cried so hard when I found out he's gone. It's not like finding out hide's dead since he was dead a long time ago. This one's like, happened within our jrock/visual kei lifetime. Damn.

Oh good!! Then it's easier to be sneaky with your mom on your side!

In my case, dad's the one feeding my addictions and mom's always the one that's vainly trying to pry me off the fandom. Haha!

w_a_prince December 11 2009, 10:13:41 UTC
Oh, and buying too. :P I just mean that at least we can still see what he's done with his career up til this point. ^__^ Even though I dn't see it happen I can be caught up and I know he'll welcome me as a fan.

Yes, like with Kami...that's just what he is to me. Part of Kami's story is that he then died.
I can't get over this with Jasmine, though... It's been four months, and I still cry at least once a week. So many things are hard for me to understand or think about because of it. It's just...terrible, terrible and awful. And now I'm so terrified of what could happen to others that I love.

Haha, no way!! XDD The idea of my dad supporiting my fandoms... :P it's hilarious. No, he just makes fun, while my mom supports me. XD If I showed my dad Versailles and asked if I could see them, he would probably say, "There is absolutely no way I'm letting you waste your youth and your money on some cheap tranny show."
><
....
and that's why I'm talking to my mom. XDD

Of course! I was thinking about all the other old releases like Malice Mizer and Schwarz Stein. >_<;; As long as you like their work, there's no need to worry about discovering them "late." I think that's what being a fan is. And I don't think they're the type that favors the fans who knew them longer ^_^

*pats* We're all sad about Jasmine, it really is terrible. And I wish they'd at least publish something other than "over-fatigue" as the cause of his death. :(

And now I'm so terrified of what could happen to others that I love. - Oh, that is one great fear of mine too. People who have the power to inspire shouldn't be the ones to go. But it happened, and the best thing we can do about it is to love and support his dream together with the band.

Hmm, maybe you could let your dad listen to their music first and then not show him pictures? XD That did it to my mom when I was pestering her to let me watch Kozi in Manila way back in 2002. XDDD

It didn't bother me so much that they didn't clarify more about his death until I realized that it's actually very uncommon that they keep it a secret. But that makes me wonder if Jasmine wanted it to be that way. We can tell from things that people wrote about him that he didn't want to get his friends worked up over the fact that he was sick, and so told them that he was alright. Maybe he just didn't want commotion over it, and he would rather it be a quieter thing. ._ ( ... )

Come to think of it, maybe Jasmine did want to keep it quiet. As you said, he didn't want to get the others worked up over his condition. >_<;; Still, as a fan I'd want to know at least what he died of. Over-fatigue just doesn't cut it >_<;; (Ok, shutting up now. At least he's in a better place and maybe dancing around with hide, Kami, Kazuki, and Shaisuke XD)

;___; I do hope that you can share your inspiration from them to others. That would be the greatest. *is slowly working on her goals too XD* You're lucky that fans abound in the US. Here in the Philippines, there's only a small fraction of the whole population that knows visual kei/JRock. And sometimes those who get to hear about them shudder away because of conservative values/religious reasons. <-- Don't even get me started on that. Oh, so your dad's not very fond of vampires? XDD; Just don't show him the Ascendead Master PV and movies XDDD

Yeah, my classmate and I saw Kozi but we didn't get to hang around much to see him perform because fourteen-year-old kids have no ( ... )

I don't remember them ever trying to actually pass it as fatigue, just that they said he was tired before when he was just sick. :/ Hmm, well I don't really mind not knowing. It won't change anything, and it really does make it easier to dwell on the good times ( ... )

Ah, you're from South America? Now I get why your father won't like some of the visual kei stuff XD Maybe you could show him some backstage clips where they don't have costumes on, or interviews in the Visual Kei DVD volumes. Any clip that shows off their dorky side XDD

Ohhhh Serenade makes me cry. The lyrics are so bittersweet. It also made me pick up my violin again. I'm actually relieved that they're not having someone to replace Jasmine yet.

LOL, haven't been checking his blog, but thank you for telling me that he's still active!! Yeyy! I thought the last live he did was with Moi dix Mois, where he was a special guest! @___@

w_a_prince December 17 2009, 00:18:31 UTC
Hmm, not South America, but the south of America. Xp Soo...Tennessee, Alabama...those places. XDD
You know, I think I'll show my dad their new PV! I was so glad when it came out, because it's really devoid of all the things he wouldn't be able to see! And...it's not music that he wouldn't like. ^__^ It's so beautiful. I kind of feel like giving them all hugs for releasing that right when I needed it. :P

I cannot even say how glad I am that they haven't replaced him. There are a million reasons why, but I am just so glad. ^__^

I hope he doesn't stop any time soon! XD Once of these days I should really spam up his inbox, demanding that he make more music or else... XP...

Do you mind if I add you as a friend? ^__^ It looks like this convo is dying down, but I would really love to keep talking to you!! :D It seems we got on well. ^__^

starberryfiesta December 17 2009, 11:57:57 UTC
Oh, all right! Sorry about that XD But you said you were moving right? Where to?

Serenade @ your dad = that's an awesome idea!! It's a ballad too, and ballads hit a spot on older people. You can also show him the lyrics' translations~

LOL, I should hope Kozi doesn't stop anytime soon too! Want to hear more of his work, I really love the effects he uses. Twisted carnie music = ♥

Not at all! *adds you* :) :) I'd love to talk to you more too :)
