I wanted to write this earlier, but I was waiting for some pro-shot photos from the event. It’s now three days later and we still don’t have any, so I’m not going to wait any longer. I didn’t make notes of the parties so I’m doing everything from memory. I’ve undoubtedly forgot things, and maybe misremembered some others, but I’ve done my best ( Read more... )

Firstly, I must say how impressed I was with how THE BALUE HEARTS embraced being in a live house.

Otherwise, I’d just forget what I could remember now later too. Then it turned into writing out the ( Read more... )

I saw the first MOON SAGA show on Friday. I'm not going to do an in-depth review or synopsis for many reasons, but I'll give a brief overview...

Obviously, there are many, many spoilers.

This weekend the Gakuen tour rolled into Chiba for three consecutive days and as I live in Chiba, it would have been rude not to go to all three, right?

I've already done a big in-depth report on the tour here so I won't do that again. This is just news and notes ( Read more... )

Quick review as I'm on my phone...
