So after that whole debacle of my previous entry, I decided I'll do one more Jrock reviewing entry to round out this mini-series (which will of course make a triumphant return as often as I feel like it).  Since I started looking back on Jrock and Visual Kei and remembering all of the things I absolutely hated about the fandom and the quality of ( Read more... )

I have no idea when I'll be posting this.  Hey.  But I need you to know when I'm starting it.

I've just finished eating my Thanksgiving dinner, I'm watching the Cowboys play the Dolphins on TV, and Christmas music has been playing at my friends' house all afternoon.  It is officially the holiday season.

And I am ready to be pissed off.

It's a joyful ( Read more... )

I just learned that there is a fat guy in Super Junior.  One of Super Junior's many unnecessary members is a fat guy.  But no time for that!  I got PVs to review.

As you'll recall in my last entry, I said I would take some time to look back on PVs from Visual Kei's past, as well as Visual Kei's present.  Basically, any Visual Kei PV that marks ( Read more... )

Wow, I've been very serious and traditional recently, huh?  Well you guys know that's only one side of me.  And it's been a really, really long time, but I feel the need to return to my roots.  Yeah, you asked for it, and you got it:

! A RANT !

I've gotten several requests to rant about Kpop.  Actually, I've talked a little about Kpop before, here ( Read more... )

Hey, so it's October now!!  I guess everybody is getting ready for fall.  You probably also are trying to figure out what you'll be for Halloween.  And while my colleague vegeta_eyes and I have previously given you plenty of advice on what costumes to avoid, I wonder what sorts of costumes are on trend this year?

It's been a really long time since I did a rant on Jrock, hasn't it?  I guess it's about time I did another one, especially since I've been sitting on this one for a while.  A really long while.  I think it was around two years ago in my very first request post that someone asked for my thoughts on this band, and though they probably don't even ( Read more... )

It's been a while since a commercial infuriated me enough to take to the internet and write a full-fledged rant on it, but it has happened again, ladies and gentlemen.

I know that commercials, especially American commercials, are all stupid and nonsensical, and some are that way on purpose: "Buy this shit and good things will happen to you!!".  ( Read more... )

Well, now that it's October, here I'm feeling the full effects of the autumn season.  I always get really nostalgic when the seasons change, and since Fall is tied with Spring as my favourite season, I thought it would be really fun to do an in-depth and informative exploration of some of the fascinating and specific kanji used in haiku to express ( Read more... )

Alright, stop.  Collaborate and listen.  tamamushi's back with a brand new edition!

It's the end of an era.  Finally, finally, finally I have a computer again.  Please expect many more updates coming soon in the future.  It's almost Christmas time, looking back I think I've posted maybe ten times this year.  That's pretty sad.  But luckily, I've ( Read more... )

Hey everybody!  I meant to update sooner, but I haven't been able to due to the guilt of possibly causing the death of a person I wrote about in my last entry.  Also because of the fact that I haven't had access to a computer on which to update with.  I know, I still don't have one, but it is looking like I will be getting one soon, so I'm keeping ( Read more... )
