BUSY BUSY BUSY BUSY G!

So, this is the song Yohio mentioned a few months back ^^ Where he said G is helping him write new songs ^^
And his vocals are not bad at all ^^ The boy has talent ^^

Also, OMG O_O That's G?! Love the hair on him there XD

Meh. Yohio is boring as heck but I am glad he is doing something other than just showing off his body. Cause his songs otherwise are quite... yeah...

OK, I'm nitpicky. Don't kill me, but...

"If someday DON'T exist"
DON'T
DON'T
DON'T
*echo echo*

*screams in grammar nazi rage and falls into crying*

It's not right... it's not right... this is Sakura, Chiru... it was so pretty and graceful with beautiful lyrics...why?
Don't exist... D;

...

Well, beyond that small moment of shock... I decided to stop it before it got to the part we hadn't heard in G's preview. I want to leave it a surprise even if I'll be in suspense now that I know I could listen to it all the way through in the English version. I'm intrigued and excited to hear the duet. I wonder how their voices will mix.

GACKT's looking great for such a busy boy! So many things going on recently. It's like the twelve days of GACKT Christmas again. PV releases, news, duets, magazines... *whistles*
I'm also really proud of our boy, TAKUMI. ^^ Of course his first guest would be GACKT. :)

agreed. i think there was at least 2-3 small grammatical errors that bug me too. :/

Hmmm, but somehow I don't mind the "even although" part. It kind of sounds poetic in a way...

I think, the reason why the use of "don't" instead of "doesn't" bothered me more here than other typos I've heard is because it doesn't sound like a mistake as much.
People who natively speak English (at least in America) use it because they either genuinely don't know better or - more commonly - they're showing off attitude. It gives the feeling of trying to be cool/tough/sassy by not caring about the rules, so it kind of sounds abrasive.
The lyrics were gorgeous and pronounced correctly with no accent. It's a beautiful scene, I see pretty cherry blossoms, it's flowing smoothly like I'm being carried on a nice river~ and then "pop!" the bubble bursts and I'm left confused looking like this: D:
as the song goes on as prettily as before...

Random question! You said you're not a native English speaker, so, what is your native language?

As a Swede, and after YOHIO was part of the Eurovision outtakes, I'm not amused. But laughing. Oh the irony!

I have read somewhere on facebook, that YOHIO was actually badmouthing Gackt in Sweden, which made me upset, because Gackt appears to be doing a lot for him.
