This is a low, but it won’t hurt you…

I hate that strange feeling I get when there are too many things that need to be done. I’m being indecisive about what to do first and then I end up doing nothing at all. Which is what is going to happen now. Bah.
I have a dozen layouts in my head, yet I’m not in the mood for Photoshop. I have a ton of lyrics to type up but I’m sick of Word (it’s been crashing a lot recently). I could also translate a few songs and interviews but then I’d have even more things to type up >_<

Someone just did something very cute for me… I’m flattered ;_;

Anyway, Kagerou will have 2 new maxis out on July 10! Can’t they just release a full album or something? Eh, don’t want this to sound like I’m complaining, I’m happy about these new releases. Oh yes, more Daisuke lyrics to obsess over, more rythms to bounce along to (o_O) and more vocal lines that make me go *_* (I’m using far too many emoticons, I know. I swear I’ll work on becoming a more coherent person who doesn’t need any of those as a replacement for her feelings.)
July 10… that’s still quite far away. And it messes up my preordering schedule (yes, I do have something like that).

The 2nd press of merry’s Haikarasan ga tooru is out May 23, pretty much like I expected (someone on the merry ML said it would be out May 16 but I thought/said that seemed quite early…). The bonus song’s called something like ‘Tokyo telephone (utau mono)’ and I hope that’s not going to be on Yougenkyou 2 because I want more new merry songs, not just one lousy new song every five months!

Hello. This is me whining (again).
I went to bed at 2.15 am last night and I woke up at 5.15 am. Exactly three hours later. And I couldn’t sleep in again >_< It was already too bright outside and too noisy and argh >_< So I finally go up at 7, all hyper, talking non-stop to my mother. Then I went to the library and got some books about Hitchcock and film making. I sat down in the park and flipped some of them through while the sun was shining down on me and it finally felt like spring. Yes.
When I came home I installed a webhosting script for scube *glomps* (you didn’t just see me glomping her, no no ^^;) It worked fine and I hope it works for her too ^^; Otherwise I’ll need to fix bugs which I’ll do quickly so scube can finally upload her site. Whee, I can hardly wait to see her site back *_*

On a very related note (^^;): The latest update of Kagrra’s official site is so pretty! They’re doing a wonderful job. (They’re neglecting the official Due’le site really badly, though, which is a shame.) Anyway, I checked the track list for Kirameki. Wow, the titles seem rather dark, very traditional again as well. Yume izuru chi is on there too, yay. I was kind of worried that I wouldn’t listen to Yume that often cause it’s just on the same-titled 2-track single and I don’t like constantly changing the CDs in my player but when it comes out on Kirameki there will be five other tracks I can listen too and not just one more song. (That basically results in my listening to the single about 5 times in a row per day (because I’m too lazy to change CDs and because both songs, especially Yume izuru chi, are so beautiful). My admiration for Akiya’s songwriting skills will never cease to increase.

Horrible news of the day: A student who wasn’t admitted to taking his finals because his results throughout the year had been too poor ran amok at a school here in Germany earlier today, killing 14 teachers, two girls (fellow students) and a policemen. He shot himself before the police could overpower/arrest him. The pictures on the news were terrifying, all those students crying and being in state of shock because they had seen their teachers being killed. The police said the dead bodies were found in various rooms of the school. Some students and teachers were able to save themselves by locking themselves in a room. It was so horrible, some of them had put a sheet of paper near the window reading ‘help’ and the tv people were filming them from outside, knowing those people in the class room could’ve been shot any minute…
And then there’s this sicko at inertia’s BBS ranting on how child pornography wasn’t ‘that bad’ o_O I hope people like him will die really really unpleasantly. I always feel the urge to hurt sickos like him really badly, because I just can’t get the utter stupidity of such people. The world would be a much better place without them.

Actually, they did list all the bands on the CD -_-;; I really need glasses.

I’m pretty sure that the headache I had yesterday was either caused by my tense neck or by my bad eyesight. The latter could be solved by wearing glasses. Could be solved – if I wasn’t so vain. Thus I shall suffer.

(And I don’t want to ‘accuse’ my blue nail polish. It’s so damn pretty.)

Enough girl talk here. I think I missed something: I was always wondering why Dir en grey aren’t featured in Shoxx at all. I always thought it had something to do with magazines being picky or something o_O Well, but there seems to be something more meaningful behind that cause `kane mentioned something about problems/tension between the band and Shoxx. I need to ask her about that cause I’ve never heard of that and I need to know what those problems were. Just curious.
I keep forgetting to put the CD-ROM that comes with each issue of Zy magazine into my CD player because they say those CD-ROMs are hybrid CDs and there are songs from indies bands on them… they do not list the bands featured, so I’m curious… I’ll check that now^^

Aaargh, my head hurts… I shouldn’t even be here >_< The screen is flickering in front of my eyes, I think my head's going to explode in about... 2 seconds >_<
(Maybe it’s due to that light-blue nail polish. Had to buy it. Looks like the one Kei is using. But there’s something in it that makes my head hurt, and badly at that.)

Got my Third Stage package today ^_^ Ooooooooh, Yuuya is sooo in love *_*
The k@mikaze maxi is good, very good. I don’t get people complaining about how all their songs sound the same cause to me they don’t. Not at all. Okay, they have those jumpy songs, straight rock songs and ballads, that’s a good variety I’d say. They’re probably not that interesting visually to most people… I don’t care, I’m in it for the music. Yes. Oh and how I love hidden tracks^^ Okay, this one wasn’t really a big surprise since I’ve read about it before but I wasn’t sure if the bonus track would be on the normal version of the CD too (or just the live house version). So yes, the bonus track is on it (Moriman no oka, sp?). It’s either a live version or a demo version recorded live which is cool cause it gives you a good impression of their live abilities.
And now on to the thing that won my heart: Kagrra’s Yume izuru chi single. Wow. Wow. That’s what I thought when I listened to the first few seconds of the title track. A drum loop. Yes, a funky drum machine^^ It’s only used during the first few seconds and in the last part though, so Izumi fans don’t have to worry ^^; Aah, it’s such a good song, a typical Akiya one. They’ve definitely developed their style into something even more unique. I love this band. The second track is rather traditional plus it has that special Kagrra feel to it, it’s neo-japanesque as they’ve said in their Shoxx interview on the single. Isshi sings in a traditional way (eh, I can’t describe it really cause I have no idea about traditional Japanese music -_-;), the song itself is really atmospheric and a bit darker than the title track. This single makes it even harder to wait for the new mini album… I hope the other members were more involved in the songwriting for the mini album than on this single (both tracks were written by Akiya) cause I love Shin’s songs and Nao&Izumi’s songs.
