It is nostalgic how tightknit the communities were :')
I miss how it was. The trading and discussions (i remember people scanning magazine pages <3

i havent been active on lj for years, and i was mostly active on malice mizer groups *hides*

I havent been up to date with the news so thank you for the bandmember update, and the links, it's nice to see that they're still around :)

ahhh i don't think i ever got a notice about your reply, i'm sorry!!!

[_yoki_]

the communities on LJ were ridiculously close-knit! i remember the kagrra, comm being even more so.

it's my pleasure! i'm glad even if one person is out there! :3

Hi, Yoki, I used to be on here under various blog names, but always user "Jali"... maybe you don't remember me ^^;

Wow, I didn't think this place was alive anymore... this is like hearing an echo through time.... What a time we are living in. I don't even have a single account on LJ anymore... I'm titimylove on tumblr now, if you wanna chat <3

God, it's so strange to hear these names, and know the boys are active. It makes me happy, tho. I'll keep an eye out for Izumi's new band, and I definitely want to see what Nao's been up to!

It's funny... I arrived here because I was searching for lyrics for my next tattoo! It'll be my 2nd Kagrra tat.

Anyway, take care, be healthy <3

oh my stars

[_yoki_]

of course i remember you!! jali!!!!!

it's definitely alive, but i don't think it's very easy to say that it's "active." i've been trying to post journal/diary-type entries on my page again, and i feel safe doing so partly because LJ's fallen off in the sense of activity.

i abandoned tumblr, unfortunately, after the porn purge. i lost my original account there and had to make a new one after i moved overseas, but i don't remember what it is anymore.... i use line and discord though, if either of those work for you?

yeah, please do so! it makes my heart ridiculously happy to see the active and interacting with one another. i just wish shinpei would make one, haha!

ohh, that'll be gorgeous! i have 2 kagrra, tattoos myself ^^

be safe and healthy, jali! <3 i hope to hear from you again soon!

Thank you so much

OMG, what can I say? Thank you! Thank you so much for bringing us information. My soul has been thirsty for anything about Akiya, Izumi and Shin for years and years and now I know what's going on, how they are, a little bit about their lives... It may seem stupid, but it is so important to me! I felt so happy reading this... I can't explain. Thank you so much, really!

OMG Really? Shin's news is real? I was amused when I saw the name SHIN - sound engineering on Gazetto's cover. I am happy that he could do things he is mastered at, but I feel a little sad that I can not hear his koto again. I have been finding news about him for many years since that days, but my Japanese is very bad to understand anything. Thank you to bring good news.

No one here would remember me because my membership here was so brief. I joined, they disbanded, and then he died and I was so devastated that I quit coming here almost immediately after. I remember crying at all the tribute posts about Isshi when the news broke.

I always had this weird sense of guilt because it all happened almost immediately after I called myself a fan I had this weird feeling like I somehow caused it even though I knew it wasn't possible, just a very sad coincidence.

Anyway, despite how brief my membership was here I remember loving it so much because everyone was so kind and close, almost like a happy family :) Hope everyone is doing well.
