A certain Friday...
...that is today. It's both Jin's and Gackt's birthday which means it should be finally recognized as International Pervert's Day. And no matter what I think of Gackt's current job, or what has become of Bakanishi lately, I'm still gonna celebrate!
My best friend is coming over, we're gonna have a sinful pancake-banana-chocolate-whipped cream birthday cake and rewatch the best moments of all these PVs, fanvideos, concerts, movies and dramas... 'Vanilla' live will be there too, as the very first hint of fanservice we have ever got in our lives.
If that Pancake-Tower-Of-Sin turns out any good visually, I'll make sure to post a pic.

元気ロケッツ have finally released their first album. I was jumping up to the ceiling when I found it, but after listening... I must admit I was expecting something more.
No, it's not bad. It's 元気ロケッツ after all, the optimistic future electro pop band with a vocalist who is said to be the first child born in outer space in the future. Lumi-chan sings quite well for someone who doesn't exist at all (she was created by merging the voices of different vocalists and given a CG appearance in their PVs).
It's just... There are actually only four new tracks. The rest is singles, their couplings, some instrumentals to make you think you got an album that's 13 tracks long, and two new remixes. Oh, and a Japanese version of Star Line. Naturally, I don't like all four new tracks. One of them is IMHO a waste of time and effort, with just a piano and some poor strings as background, probably playing the role of a 'ballad'. But honestly, johnny's can produce better ballads, this one is anime-character-song level :/. As for the remaining three, they are good. Not stunning, not taking your breath away, but good.
A result? It is a great piece to download, but I wouldn't pay for it.
