12:16 am - Shikkoku no Symphonie and More
I really should update more often, cuz now I have a lot to write about, and it's tireing to write so much *lazy* ^^;
This time I have to write about 5 live events and an all night party with The Piass to write about... ^^;
Ganbarimasu! >_<;
2/8
Scuber Dive ~ Shibuya ga Taihen ~
LIVE HOUSES: O-East, O-West, O-Crest and O-Nest
This EVENT was a all day event with over 50 bands playing at 4 live houses, and you got to go between the live houses and choose which bands you wanted to see, so I saw 13 bands:
Ghost, deathgaze, Jessica, The Pumpkin Head, Pablo Honey, Akogi no Occhan, Vidoll, Shoujo Lolita 23ku, Tokyo Mikael, Phantasmagoria, Sulfuric Acid, Julia Doll and Jinkaku Radio.
So now some short comments on the bands I remember:
Ghost: I liked them, they were cool on stage and had nice songs, the singer was cool! ^_^
Deathgaze: Eto... not my style, the songs were like ALL sung only in deathvoice, and that gets kinda boring after like half a minute! ^^;
Vidoll: Poor Jyui... his little sister had died the same day as this live show, so of course he couldn't be there. Instead the other members were wearing animal-suits, and Rame, who cannot sing at all, sang the songs... ^^;
Tokyo Mikael: I have seen them 2 times before, and they were cute before, but now they have become a lot cooler, their style is much more visual and they look alot better now! Their songs are nice, I mean not breathtaking, but it's nice to listen too and I enjoy seeing them live! ^_^
Jinkaku Radio: They are just so very... cosy! I like them! They are cool and have really nice songs! ^_^
Sulfuric Acid: Masaki... hehehehee.... *_* That's the singer, and I tell you this, he is hot! LOL! The way he moves on stage and his facial expressions are very nice too look at... haha! LOL! But personally I feel that when he looks at you and smile he is kinda scary, it is a devilish smile... akuma no egao! But anyway, never mind the singer, the songs are really nice and cathcy, and they preform the songs well! ^_^
PHANTASMAGORIA: Last but DEFINITLY NOT least I am gonna write a little about MagoMago's live! ^_^
Phantasmagoria are the main reason for us going to this event... obvioulsy because they were soooo the best band! ^_~
I reaaaally love Mago (that is short for Phantasmagoria)! Their songs are really good, and they are sooooo good on stage! Me and Pauliina were lucky cuz we got to stand in the 3rd row in front of Kisaki, our favourite! *_*
At the last Mago consert we were at we got to take photos with one of the band members (because we had bought the UnderCode Bible, and when you do that you get to take a photo with any bandmember from any undercode band) so of course we took photos with Kisaki, and now when we were right in front of him he looked at us and like "Oh cool, the weird little gaijins again! Moahhaha I get new fans every day, I rule!" and smiled! XD
5/8
Kagrra, Tour Final
LIVE HOUSE: Shibuya AX
WHAT A FUCKING DISAPOINTMENT!!!!! ;_;
Sorry to say but what the fuuuuck happened to my sweet Kagrra, boys???
Well they became major and decided to drop the visual kei style and look boring... and with it loose their energy on stage!!!! T_T
I have seen Kagrra since they were a small Indie band, the first time I saw Kagrra they still played at small live houses, and we saw them at Takadanobaba AREA in a 3-man live show. Since then we have seen them at bigger live houses/halls as well, but they always had this energy on stage and looked like they had a lot of fun. But this time they really looked like "Oh how tireing, this is just work, a live show is just a work I need to get done with" I didn't see the same passion in them as I have before in older live shows. Last time I saw them I was standing on the second floor of a big live hall, so you would think that would be more boring than seeing them in a standing live closer to the stage, but no. Then they still had a lot of enegry and you could feel it all the way up to the second floor, this time I didn't feel it at all. I mean this was supposed to be a tour final, and all tour finals I have been to have been very cool and the bandmebers has always had extra enegry to make it a really stunning final, but to me it seems that Kagrra hardly even tried that much. And then about them dropping the visual kei style, which they talked about some, thought I didn't understand everything very well. Anyway, I HATE when bands do that, for me that style is supposed to be something you WANT to do, it is supposed to be you, not something you just wear to get fans and then when you have the fans you drop the style because you never really liked it. I tottaly hate when bands does this.
I just say this, Thank God for people like MANA and Kisaki who really lives for this style!!!
6/8
LIVE HOUSE: Shinjuku HOLIDAY
BANDS: 1. Vie Vie
2. Brand 0
3. Hagakure
4. Maya
5. ISOLATION
6. Alively Sanctuary
7. Cannival Method
8. Clutch
9. Edokko (?)
10. The Piass
Since Pauliina worked with Hagakure when they came to Sweden, Kaya from Hagakure invited Pauliina and me to this live.
I was happy because The Piass were playing, they are cool old men! XD But I was really happily surprised when I found out that the band Alively Sanctuary's vocalist was JACK from the old band Sugartrip which I absolutely loved! It was soooo nice seeing Jack again, he is a psycho-cute as always! ^___^ V
Anyway, comments on the bands I remember:
Brand 0: This time they played some songs that were actually okay, and not only heavy and screaming, since I know Noa, the vocalist, actually can sing properly, since I saw him in one of his old bands Amethyst, it was good to see him actually use his voice! ^_~
Hagakure: Eto... I know Kaya was nice and invited us and all, but really this is not my style of music... ^^; *coughs*
The new guitarist was good at least though.
ISOLATION: LOL is is like a weird little session band thingy. With Masaki, Sulfuric Acid's singer, playing the guitar! Even when he plays the guitar he moves around like a little sexy snake on stage! LOL, it was fun to watch, but the music were to heavy for my taste. Only heavy deathvoice/growling songs gets boring as I said before. ^^;
Alively Sanctuary: Jack Jack Jack!!! Wiiiih! *_* Gotta see them more times, he is so wonderfully psycho and fun to watch! I didn't like the songs as much as his old band Sugartrip though, but on the other hand I only got to hear maybe 4 songs or so, and it was thw first time, so maybe they have other good songs, or maybe I was too busy looking at the little psycho to really reaaally listen to the songs properly... ^_^;
The Piass: *headbang* *headbang* *headband* ^_~
ALL NIGHT PARTY with The Piass
After this live show we went to an all night party in Shinjuku.
Kaya from Hagakure told us to come to this party, so we did of course! ^_^
At this party first the other fans that also were invited and us got to sit at some tables in the place that the Piass had rented, and the Piass and other bandmembers (like from Brand 0, and of course Kaya from Hagakure and a lot opf other band guys) sat at some other tables and we got to eat food, and drink a loooot of booze, it was a nomihoudai, drink as much as you want place. And after a while we could go and talk to the band members and just party and stuff. It was a lot of fun. I got to talk a lot to Takayuki and Ryuiji from The Piass, they were fun guys! ^_^ First when I started to talk to Takayuki he was like "Oh, you speak Japanese very well, I didn't think you could speak it at all!" LOL Japanese people always react like that, it's cute though. Anyway, Takayuki knew we were from Sweden already cuz Kaya, who are like best friends with Takayuki, had already told him about us! =P Ryuiji was the most fun to talk to. I teached him and his friend how to say 'Cheers' in Swedish, Skål! LOL not the best pronounciation, but at least they tried hard to say it! XD Ryuiji keep pouring me drinks all the time though which was evil, I got a little hangover the next day! @_@; But lucky for me the Japanese drinks are a looot weaker than swedish drinks, so I at least didn't get too drunk, like some of the poor little japanese girls! Tihi! ^_^; I talked to some of the other bandmebers as well, like this little guy from Brand 0 with red hair, who kept insisting that Sweden and Norway was the same country, and I was like "Baka!! it's not the same" but he kept joking with me that it was the whole evening, what I little rascal! =P Then he told me his name and wanted me to remember it to the next time I see Brand 0 live and he wanted me to call his name during the live, but too bad for him, I forgot it already!!! XD Moahaha!
11-13 /8
Shikkoku no Symphonie
LIVE HALL: Saitama Kaikan - Small Hall
This 3-day Visual Kei festival is really nice.
Every day like 13 or 14 bands play, so it's 3 days of watching bands from 11:30-20:00!!!
I am just gonna write about the bands I remember each day:
FIRST DAY:
Jeniva: They very really nice, old style visual kei, like a little like Malice Mizer style, which is very rare nowaday! I was happy to see this band and that some new young bands still like this style. ^_^ They had a really nice song which was only the vocal and the keyboard, it was beautiful! ^_^
Danger Gang: Oh my gosh this was soo cool!!! An entire Visual Kei band with only female members!!!! *_*
I think it was so cool too see, they had cool songs and were really good on stage! ^_^ I am definitly going to see them again!!! I talked to some of the members and they are are really cute,cool and nice girls! ^_^
Jinkaku Radio: Yey! They are so nice to watch live! This time I stood like in the 3rd row when I saw them and when the singer started to throw out a ragdoll that he always does during one specific song I got to throw it back on stage which was fun, because I hadn't done that the other 2 times I have seen them. They just have such nice and cosy songs, it's kinda a feel-good band, and the singer is funny! ^_^
Doremidan: They were the last band, but they were LATE! They had gotten stuck in traffic, and when they finally arrived we had waited like 40 minutes for them to start, and they only got to play 2 and a half songs before the staff of Shikkoku closed the curtains in the middle of their 3rd song so they didn't even got to finish! ^^;
Poor guys they must have felt bad, and poor us fans who only got to see 2 and a half songs! ^^;
SECOND DAY:
Duralumin: Oh yeah, extremly catchy! ^_^ They had this kinda 50's rock feeling over their visual music, and I liked it!
It was a really fun band to see live!!! Hope I get to see them at some other event! ^_^
Sulfuric Acid: This time I went to the front row to see Masaki's devil smile close-up, and oh yeah they were good, but I think Masaki seemed a little bit nervous, maybe he is not used to playing at such big live halls as Saitama Kaikan! ;)
beau: They are as crazy and fun to watch as always! They have changed their stage outfits and make-up quite a lot since I saw them a long time ago, and now they look cooler! This time they played my favourite song (I have noooo fucking idea what the song name is but whatever) and I had a lot of fun seeing them again! ^_^ beau also played the last day of Shikkoku no Symphonie.
Himitsu Kessha Kodomo A: Probably the most weird Undercode band ever, and I liked them. Weird is good! XD
LAST DAY:
Shinkoujukyou gakudan NoGoD: Yey they were tottaly cool, looking like Psycho clowns, and having catchy songs and a really good stage preformace with a lot of fun odori/furitsuke to do! ^_^
Phantasmagoria: Ki-saaamaaa Kakkoiiiii! LOL Seriously, they were great as always, and also this time I got a good place to stand, in the second row in front of Kisaki! ^_^ By far the best band playing at Shikkoku, they were like so over the top good that no other band could even compare to them!
Vidoll: I am not a fan of this band, I mean they are good and talented and all, and does very good live shows, but I never really gotten to found of their songs and stuff. But Jyui is an amazing vocalist no doubt about it! ^_^
14/8
No Charge LIVE
LIVE HOUSE: Ikebukuro CYBER
I am too tired to bother now: It was a Free live so we went, with like 9-10 bands which never heard of before, but none of the bands were really that good, so I won't bother too comment on them!!! =P
Waaaah okay! Now I am going to bed!!! Oyasuminasai!!! x_X;

07:30 pm - Goth Party, LIVEs and Fireworks!
Okay so since my last entry I guess I have done 4 things worth writting about:
I went to a goth party, saw Phantasmagoria live, saw The Piass and other bands live and went to Asakusa to see fireworks!
22/7: All night GOTH PARTY - Shinjuku MARZ
I went there with Pauliina, Hideki, my 4 korean friends (Min Jong, Eun Jong, Omira and Ye Won) and Amiyu!
I had a great time, and danced a lot with my friends. And I was suprised because there was a BONDAGE show at the goth party so we got to see some kinky stuff on stage... hihihii... it was fun, I think it is... eto... interesting to watch!!! XD And it wasn't too kinky anyway! *coughs* LOL But my korean friends got kinda shocked, since they are a bit more conservative ya know, but still they watched the whole show!!! XD
Then me and Pauliina met out old friend Taroo there, which we didn't expect to do, so that was a pleseant surprise! ^_^
24/7: Phantasmagoria - Nihon Seinenkan HALL
I was like... really sick this day, had a fever and all, but I went anyway!!!
It was a seated live so it was okay, if it had been a standing live I would have like passed out or something! ^_^;
Anyway the live was really good, of course having a fever took some of the joy out of the experience, but still it was great seeing Phantasmagoria again! Out seats were on the 2nd floor, but that was okay cuz you could see everything on the stage really well! ^_^ Just when the live started we saw Vidoll walk into the live hall and sit down (of course they were seated on the 2nd floor as well, on the first row were all the guests were. And of course they and to come and see Kisaki's band or Kisaki would have whooped their asses I guess! XD Anyway, this consert is going to be a DVD so that's nice! But I probably won't have any money to buy it though... :P
29/7 Fireworks - Asakusa
Yey, I went to my first Japanese firework 'festival'! I was wearing my newly bought H.naoto yukata, since a normal yukata is way too cute for my taste I of course had to buy a visual style one! It is black with purple butterflyes and a lot of lace! ^_^ Anyway, I went to Asakusa with, Pauliina, Anna, Camilla, Emelina, Hideki, my korean friends, and Hideki's classmate! ^_^ We were told that there would be a lot of people there to watch the fireworks, and it was... apparently like 100,000 people!!!! ^_^; Just to see that many people at one place was an experience, and getting there and getting back from there when there were lines to get INTO the train stations only were something I never have experineced before... ^_^; But the japanese really know how to organize so everything went along smoothly! ^_^
The fireworks were amazing, it lasted for like more than an HOUR, and there were all kinds of fireworks, really pretty and cool ones!!!! ^_^
30/7 LIVE (PIASS event) - Shinjuku Club HOLIDAY
Bands: 1. Vardy 99
2. Akihabara Shounendan *dennou ROMEO
3. dio
4. LiZ
5. Hannya
6. Parfait
7. deuori
8. Brand 0
9. Clutch
10. appui
11. Phylia
12. PIASS
Okay as you can see there were like a million bands, so with my memory forget that I will comment on the all, I didn't even bother too look at all of them anyway, so many bands sounds just exactely the same anyway! ^^;
Akihabara Shounendan: They were cute, like not amazing or anything, but kinda cute.
Parfait: I liked these ones! They had nice songs, with a cathcy rhytm and they were good on stage. I probably will try to see them more times if possible! ^_^
Brand 0: My friend likes these ones so I watched their live, but I didn't really like their music, too loud and repetitive, but apparently they have other songs that actually sounds like SONGS also, Pauliina said cuz she had seen them before and then they played other types of songs! Well I guess I will see because next week they are playing at another live I am going to so hope they play better songs then! Anyway the drummer in this band acts EXACTELLY like a girl... I mean exactelly! After the live Pauliina talked to Noa (the singer) and the drummer were standing next to him looking just like a girl. I was stadning behind Pauliina and the drummer looked at me and smiled and then waved at me, and his body movements were just like a little japanese girls... it was like scary! XD
PIASS: Oh yeah! They are always cool, and you always have fun watching their live and headbanging! ^__^
What else can I say?! XD
Now I have SUMMER VACATION until the 21st of August, so this period I have a lot of lives to watch!
It's gonna be fun! ^___^

07:56 pm - KÖZI
So, sorry to be late, but here is my LIVE Report on KÖZI's LIVE I saw on Monday the 17th!
Arist: KÖZI
Date: 17/7 2006
LIVE HOUSE: Daikanyama UNIT
The show was amazing, KÖZI was amazing.... awww.... it's like he was so much more cool live than I remembered, I have only seen him LIVE in Eve of Destiny in Europe, so this was my first time seeing his SOLO live!
He played a lot of his new songs but also some from the Katharsis, so it was really amazing to see all the songs life for the first time, and KÖZI's voice is really good live!!! I just adore his new album Loki n' Roll, it's soooo.... rock-ish, some songs kinda remind me of hide and other of other styles, it's really cool and makes me happy when I listen to it! KÖZI of course has a really good stage image, and really knows what to do, of course since he had done this for a long time ne!!! He wore a black suit, with a white frilly shirt and a green tie! His Hair was all sprayed up, and the sides were pulled back so it kinda looked like a very thick mowhawk, visual style, it was cool! ^_^ Of course his make-up was cool as always! ^_^
Anyway, he was really funny and made some cute jokes, like one time he said: "So are all the people on the 3rd floor happy?!" but of course this was a small live house with maybe only 300-400 people so it only had 1 floor, but that was funny! To KÖZI it must be such a different to when he was playing with MALICE MIZER and had biiiig live halls and stuff, but he seems to enjoy these smaller live shows a lot too! ^_^
A little side-thing I just want to say which I found kinda funny: The Guitarist looked a lot like YU~KI, I mean he had the same typ of make-up, and a top hat and just looked a lot like a younger, more round-faced, version of Yu~ki! XD
Anyway, when the encore came KÖZI had taked of his jacket, and he had sweated so much that his white shirt were completely soaked so you could see his tattos through the fabric!!!! XD
Well anyway, I am so happy that I went to his live, and I hope he will have more while I am here, he really needs to have more lives in Japan!!!! *_*

10:47 pm - 東京が大好きだ！
A quick review of this week!
Monday: Pauliina, me and Hideki went to Roppongi to meet Hiroshi (Pauliinas penpal, whos house we have stayed in on previous visits to Japan), which is really not our type of place, with a lot of mainstream party places and a lot of "normal" foreingers go there. But anyway Hiroshi had a girl he liked that worked at a bar there so we went to that bar called Vanilla. Hiroshi treated us to the entreance fee and alcohol at the place.. hehe, so we got kinda drunk on a monday evening... lucky us school doesn't start until 1 o'clock! XD It nice even though it was a normal place cuz we got to play some dart... and by the way girls rule cuz we won ower both the boys! XD
Wednesday: Me and Pauliina met my friend Misaki and we went to Harajuku and ate some food, and the walked around in shops and the ate some icecream at Jonathans! It was nice! ^_^ Misaki like Sweden a lot and had a how to learn Swedish book with her, and a lot of funny notes in Swedish! XD Omoshiroi!
Thursday: 3 of the Korean girls in my class, Min Jong, Un Jong and Ye Won (I am sooo not sure about the spelling but that is what it kinda sounds like when you say the names at least!) cam to our apartment (mine and Pauliina's) and we had a lot of fun, and we showed them some Japanese visual kei videos and stuff. Then I told them about the gothic party next week and they said they wanted to join, even though they are normal girls, so that was really cute and they promissed to have Black clothes on! XD They are really nice and funny girls!!! And we only speak in Japanese to each other which is kinda funny, but they don't know English (or Swedish duh!) and I sure don't know Korean! ^_^;
Saturday: Me, Pauliina, Anna, Camilla and Emelina walked in the Yoyogi Park for like 3 hours, and it was really nice!
We saw some carp and orange koi fish and turtles in the small lakes, and the forest is breathtaking!!! I just love the Japanese forests, they are so big and cool and there are trees everywhere and aaah just really cool! ^_^
Earlier the same day there had been a big thunderstorm... you know Japanese thunderstorms are like so much more scarier than little silly swedish thunderstorms.... ^_^;
Sunday (today): Guess what I did?
Pin-pong!!!! I went to Harajuku!!! XD
Tomorrow it is Emelina's birthday and we we'll eat at a restaurant somewhere in Shinjuku in daytime (it's some japanese holiday tomorrow so no school even though it is monday) and in the evening me, Pauliina and Camilla will go and see KÖZI's Live show! Tanoshimi! ^_^

10:40 pm - The First Weekend
So now I have been in Tokyo a week! ^_^
Yesterday (Saturday) me and Pauliina went to Urawa Narciss to see BLOOD live, it was fun! ^_^
There were 6 bands playing (BLOOD was number 4), but the other bands were not very good, one band had a good singer but the songs were repetative and quite boring, and for example the first bands singer could only scream not sing at all... ^_^; But BLOOD were amazing, they are so talented and soooo underestimated in Japan, they have really good songs and preform them really well (which is most important, to be able to preform well live), and I think they should have more fans than they do, but I guess many are fans are young girls that doesn't really listen to the music but only want cute genki boys to look at or something. =P
Well anyway it was really nice to see them again, and it was nice talking to them (BLOOD) after the live too (since it was a small live they came out in the live hall after their preformace so they could talk to their fans, this is normal in lives with many bands/smaller lives)! ^_^ I got the gothic & lolita bible vol 21 as a present since it has an article with BLOOD and the photos they used are the one they took at the photoshoot in Sweden, so it was a nice omiyage! ^_^ It's really cool... there are photos from a little country like Sweden in the Gothic & Lolita Bible! At least I think so! ^_^
Today we went to Harajuku for a little while, since it was Sunday, had my photo taken a a couple of millon times by a lot of tourist that were like "Hmmm that looks weird, let's take a photo of IT!" XD
Stupid as I am I forgot to bring my own camera though... XD
After Harajuku I went to Shibuya with Hideki, Anna, Camilla and Emelina and meet Amiyu and his two Italian friends and we went to a Goth Club and danced for a while, it was nice, I love to dance so I enjoyed myself, but we were kinda tired so we left kind of early. Pauliina didn't go to the goth club cuz she went to another consert with some german friends of hers at Shinjuku Ruido! ^_^
So now I should go to bed soon since it is school tomorrow!
Oyasuminasai!

11:53 am - Tokyo
So now I am finally in Tokyo! ^_^
Me and Pauliina arrived on Sunday, and went to OIOne on the summer sale and I bought a new black gothic lolita skirt from Cornet and also a pair of Moi-même-Moité socks! ^_^ I won't do too much shopping the first month now, since I have plenty of time and I have been here before so I don't feel the need to stress, but I have to buy some new clothes at least! Hihi!
Yesterday was the first day of school, so we had a placement test, I was hoping to be in the same class as at least Pauliina but in the end I ended up alone in a little bit more advanced class, and ALL my other friends went to the same beginner's class, so Pauliina, Anna, Camilla and Emelina are all in the same class and I am alone in mine, and Hideki is of course in a more advanced class then any of us, but that we already knew he would be in, duh!
It's a bit boring to be in different classes, but the Korean girls in my class and one swedish guy seemed nice enough, but there were some really annoying guys in our class that acted like the were 3 years old or something, it was so irritating! >_<;
Actually there are surprisingly a lot of swedes in the school, in both my class and Pauliinas like more than half of the people are swedes, it feels kinda weird.. like... it this Japan, or Sweden?! :P
Anyway the apartment that me and Pauliina are sharing is really nice! ^_^
It is plenty big for the 2 of us, and it is fresh and really close to the subway station! ^_^
Today me and Pauliina went to register us, so we can get our Alien Registration Cards (which will be like our ID-cards while we live here), we will get the card on the 20th so before that we can't get a cellphone 'cuz you need to have an Alien Registration Card for that, which is kinda weird, but the Japanese as a lot of rules to prevent crime so this is just one other. hehe by the way, the name ALIEN registation card... it's like, YEAH of course since we are not from Japan we are from another planet! XD LOL
Well anyway, that was the first 3 days in Japan, which were calm since I just wanted to get into school life and such things, my first concert will be on Saturday, then I will really feel that I am in Japan!!! ^_~

01:21 am - 3 Days Left
Oh okay, so now I am off to Tokyo in 3 days...! O_O
I am really restless now, cuz I just can't wait to get going!
I have my suitcase packed and have cleaned the whole apartment, so I am ready to go now!
So the first week in Tokyo will be this:
Sunday: me and Pauliina arrive at the airport in the morning and go in to Shinjuku to meet Hideki (who's already there now) and get our keys for the apartment, then we go to the apartment freshen up and then the next stop is Harajuku, just to look a little at Omotesando and then meet my lovely friends Anna (_graveflower) and Camilla (PsychoDollfie)(they are also from Stockholm as me and are going to study at the same school in Tokyo). Then we're gonna check out the MaruiOne sale in Shinjuku!
On Monday: Our first school day, have to take a test to see which class we're gonna end up in, but I want all us that are friends to be in the same class!!! Hope it can be fixed!
Tuesday-Friday: Nothing especially planned, just getting used to school life and stuff.
Satuday: Me, Pauliina and Camilla are going to see BLOOD live at Narciss, it's gonna be fun, going to met some Japanese friends at the consert too! ^_^
Sunday: Pauliina wanted to see Brand 0, so I guess we're going to a consert this day too! ^_~
Well I'll start writing in this LJ a lot more often now after I'll arrive in Tokyo and will have more fun stuff to write about! Hihi! ^_^

07:06 am - Studying in Tokyo
Wiiiih... I have decided that I will study Japanese for a whole year in Tokyo next year!
I will start school there in the beginning of July 2006, so in a little more than half a year I'll be off to Tokyo to LIVE for a whole year! ^_^
I am very excited, because as you guys know I have been to Tokyo several times before, but only on vacations, and this time I get to live there for a long while and can relax more and just get a feel of how it is to actually feel like you live there, not just being on a vacation. Because when I am there just for a vacation I have to do sooo many things in so short of time, so I have to stress, but now I can relax, and maybe even take the time to go to other cities in Japan, like Kyoto! ^_^
I hope I will learn a lot of Japanese, I should be able to learn a lot since I will be studying for a whole year. I wanna get better at Japanese... and be able to read more kanji! ^_^;

02:19 am - Moi dix Mois Europe LIVE TOUR
This is a bit late but, but I am lazy so whatever. I went to both of the conserts in Munich and Paris, of course! I mean I am obsessed with Mana-sama so of course I will go to both the show, I mean I go all the way to Tokyo to see him, then Europe doesn't seem that far away, now does it?! Well, conserning the conserts I am too lazy to write a Live Report so I will only say that I really enjoyed both of the conserts, maybe I liked the Munich one the best because I was right infront of Mana in the front row, but in Paris I also had a good place to stand in the front row of the second floor, so I saw everything clearly, and the people wasn't as crazy up there as on the floor infront of the stage! So I enjoyed both shows a lot! But nevertheless Moi dix Mois Live shows in Japan are much better, I prefer Japanese fans, some Europeian fans can be somewhat scary from time to time, neee?! ^_^;
((( Edit: The photos in this entry were too big and it looked weird so I deleted them. I might fix it later or I might not, since most people already have seen the photos by now anyway...^_~ )))

02:51 am - Reading Poetry in the middle of the Night
Niya minna-chaaaan... =P
Ohohoo, I am stressed and I HATE school!
I have too many things I need to do before Wednesday... like an essay and read a whole bunch of boring poetry, so I can analyse it... -_-;
I am really not the sort of person that enjoys reading poetry, I feel poetry is like unfinished songs, I want MUSIC to accompany the words! Of course there is some nice poetry, but most of the poems we are reading are just too old-fashioned for and is about subjects that I don't really care about.
Maybe because I am stupid and am too obsessed with Japan and can not be interested in other things?! Well whatever, it's just not my thing, nanoda!? o_O;
Anyway yesterday I was at Hideki's aunt's 80th birthday party. Heheeee since she is Japanese (well duuuh!) she had booked a small Japanese restaurang, and we all got to eat as much sushi, sashimi and other types of Japanese food, as we wanted! I ate A LOT, it was so good! ^_^
Then after the dinner I talked with a young girl who worked there, her name was Shoko and she had been in Sweden for 8 months, and we exchanged phonenumber so we could hang out sometimes! Yey a new Japanese friend! ^_^
Anyway today me and Hideki has been together for 2 years! Yey! *love-love* He is the best, always supporting me (even when I sometimes am being a stressed bitch)! Aishiteru ze baaaby! ;)

14/12
LIVE HOUSE: Shibuya O-West
BANDS:
1. KLACK
2. Doremidan
3. Rentre en Soi
4. Bis
5. Phantasmagoria
6. Alice Nine
I went there to see Phantasmagoria! Yey Ki-samaaaa~!
They were great, and it was a lot of fun since we were at their first unoffical live and most of their other fans hadn't seen them yet, we were the only ones that knew their parapara already, and the singer looked at us and looked like he was thinking "yey. good! Somebody is doing it right!" The singer was very cool, and good! Good choice Kisaki! I really like Phantasmagoria's style a lot, they are veeery cool and have really nice songs!!!! ^_^
The other bands:
Klack:... really really... horrible!!! They sounded like british punk music, and the singers voice was really bad... >_<
Doremidan: GREAT, of course, I like Doremidan, they are cute, and have cool music!
Rentre en Soi: They were also good, and the singer is cute, in a "small lolita girlish" kind of way!
Bis: a little bit to heavy for me, didn't really like them...
Alice Nine:... well they seemed nice... but I missed most of the live because I wanted to write the Anquete for Phantasmagoria, so I went outside the live hall to write it! hehe ^^;
15/12
LIVE HOUSE: Shibuya O-East
LIVE: Dis inferno Volume III
Moi dix Mois (MANAsamaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
This is what happened at this wonderful live:
1. Slayers played (Session Band with MANA on the drums)
2. Juka came out on the stage, cosplaying the lead actor from Fuyu no Sonata (Winter Sonata), which is a love drama series from Korea that is reaaally popular here in Japan. Then Juka started singing the opening song, but he had made an Japanese version of it, and sometimes he sang slowly and beautifuly trying to look serious and then he suddenly would break out growling, which was so fun because this song is supposoed to be a slow love song! Yey gooooo Juka, so funny!!!
3. Then some guys came out on the stage, for example the singer from Amadeus. Then MANAsama appeard in a white costume, looking like someone form the yakuza or something, and then he pulled out a little toy gun and shot all the people on the stage with it, and they fell down to the floor. Ohoho omoshiroiiii!!!
Go Yakuza-boss MANAsama!!!
4. Hiroshima Zombies played (Session band with MANA on the base)
5 Schwarz Stein played and they were so great!!! aaah I feel so happy that I got to see them again!
And KAYA looked very touched by playing in Schwarz Stein again, he looked so happy! Kawaii!!
6. Moi dix Mois played... they were amazing, the best... waaah, words cannot decribe it!!! I was so happy to see them again, I missed their live shows so much, I looove them!!! Of course the best live of this trip without a doubt!!! Moi dix Mois is my absolute favourite band, so of course I really loved it!
And I was in the 3rd row in between Juka and MANA so I saw everything really well... the 2 girls in front of me were like 20 cm shorter than me (because I was wearing my Moi-meme-Moitie shoes that day) so seeing MANA and everybody else on the stage was no problem for me! ^_~
7. After Moi dix Mois' live everybody that hade plaed today came out on the stage and they all played a Ending song together... hehe... this sonf was that old song by Frank Sinatra that goes " I love you baby, and if it's quite alright, I need you baby...." ect (but I forgot the title of the song ^^;) and a whole bunch of huuuuuge ballons came out and they threw them into the audience who threw them around the whole live house! this live was so much fun aaaaah!!! Wiiiiih!!! Waaaaiii!!! ^____^ V
16/12
Live House: Takadanobaba AREA
BANDS:
1. Hachimitsu
2. Kazoku
3. atmos*note
4. Gift (Gifuto)
5. KuRt
6. nine
7. Arucard
8. The Velvet
I went to see The Velvet, and they were great as always, and Reina really should wear more clothes as always...ohohooo... he might get a cold by just wearing a gasmask and string, and a little cloth-rag for a shirt... ;) But actually he had a little bit more "clothes" this time, he had a looong black featherboa wrapped around him! ;) On this live The Velvet had a lot of fans and Reina and everybody looked so happy!
Reina was so funny to, he made A LOT of jokes in the breaks between the songs!
The other bands Though I don't remember much because I was like sleeping most of the live until The Velvet Played because I had just gottena cold after the Moi dix Mois show):
Hachimitsu: They were cute
Kazoku: Don't remember... gomen!
atmos*note: cute.. I think they were cute... but I was sleeepy!!! ><;
Gift: They were defintily cute, I liked them!
KuRt: Th vocalist was TenTen from Hanamuke, but I liked hanamuke better than his new band, this was not my style at all.
nine: they are absolutely horrible, the singer can NOT sing at all, only scream! So URUSAI!
Arucard: are cute, Karro really liked them, I think they are okay!
17/12
Live House: Shinjuku Head Power
BANDS:
1. Spider lily
2. Aura
3. Black*Ribbon
4. Exist+trace
5. Chronotrigger
6. Kreuz Schwert
We went there to see Chronotrigger (and because we got to see this live for free 'cause our friend works at this club. hehe free is good, more money for shopping!)
Chronotrigger was really cool, they are not visual, they are a goth band, but I really liked them, the singer is a woman, but she acts very cool on the stage and her voice is very original, it can be a bit hard to tell if she's a girl or a boy when you just see her with all the make-up and when she is singing in such a androgyn way! I liked them a lot though!
The other bands:
Spider lily: hehe they stole my name those bitches! *LOL* Just kidding! No but they were al right, really cute, their music okay, they just neeed to practice a bit more as most neewbies should!
Aura: they were so loud, all songs were just a lot of shouting, not any good at all... >_<
Black*Ribbon: soooo WEIRD, horrible, NEVER see this band live.... o_O;
Exist+trace: very loud, not my style at all...
Kreuz Schwert: GREAT Guitarist, good at playing, great charisma... BUT the vocalist is HORRIBLE, bad voice and really werid way to move on stage, not charming at all.. o_o; They were total Lareine fans as al their songs were like Lareine songs (and some parts like Malice Mizer). Nice songs, but they sonded too much like Lareine, they shoudl get an own sound, and they REALLY shoudl fire the vocialist and find a NEW vocalist, because this one is HORRIBLE hooooorrible hoooooorriiiiible!!!!!!!!!

Live House: Shibuya Kokaido
BAND: Kagrra (oneman)
When the first song started big "flames" of smoke came flaring up on the stage, but they wouldn7t stop so after 1 song the whole 1st floor had a hard time breathing, and Isshi could not sing becaise his throath got sore from the smoke so they had to stop the live and everyboody when outside. Obviously something had gone wrong with the speacil effects. Anyway we were worrie that thye would cancel the show, but after like 40 minutes we were inside agaian and then after a while the live staretd again!
It was so much fun!!! We were on the 2nd floor in the 1st line and we were jumping around like crazy and Isshi and everybody in the band pointed and looked at us smiling! yey!
After the live 2 japanese fans came up to us and told us that our parapraa was very good, and thanked us for moving around so much looking happy because the othe rpoeple aroudn us were so boring, I think it was there 1st KAgrra livbe and they didn't know the music yet!

10:19 pm - Irohaaaa~~~!!
Yoshi!
Right now I am at a Internet Cafe in Akihabara!! We just came back from a really great live with Irohaaaa!!! yey!!!
Live House: Meguro Rock May Kan
Bands: 1. Iroha
2. PANIC*ch
The Iroha live was greaaaat as expected! ^_^ V
before the live I was talking to other Iroha fans I have meet at the other 2 lives I went to, and they are really nice and fun to talk with!!!
They played many songs because this was a 2 man LIVE so they had a lot of time!! Oooh they played Kinjirareta Asobi, I looove that song! But the soundsystem in Rock May Kan really suuuuck though, sometimes it was hard to hear what Shinnosuke was singing because the sound is a bit strange when you are standing close to the stage (which me an Pauliina of course were,on second row)! This live was really hot because they played many songs you jump around, so we where really overheated at the end of thelive! Atsui atsui yooo!!! ^_^;
Of course I came to see Iroha, to be honest I didn't even see PANIC*ch because I talked to Iroha fans and then also to Shinnosuke (Iroha's vocal) when PANIC*ch was playing! Hihihii!! I got to take a picture with me and Shinnosuke and I got his sign of course!! He was a nice guy!!! So funny, and his fans are so nice too, they like said to Shinnosuke that he muuust talk to me because I am going back to Sweden next week and can't see anymore Iroha live shows this year (;_;), so Shinnosuke was really nice and talked with me... of course he was happy that I knew some Japanese because he don't know any english (duuuh!)... then he asked me where Sweden was... oh my god, he was so stupid-funny, he didn't even know that Sweden was a country in Europe...!!! *LOL* When he realized that he asked if Sweden was near England, because apparenty he has a little sister who is there right now! Anyway then he asked when we are coming back to Japan the next time, but I don't know that yet of course so I said maybe next year in the summer or autumn!
Oh yeah and because we were talking about where Sweden were, and locations, on the sign to me he drawed a little map of Japan and wrote "Nihon" on the side! hehehe!
Oh yeah, Of course I can not forget to write about the 2 deadman live shows I went to on Saturday and Sunday!
LIVE house: Meguro Rock May Kan
The live shows were greaaaaaaat,of course... Mako has such a great voice, it is incredible!
You just stand there looking at him and just can't stop being amazed that his voice is prefect throghout the whole live!!
And the way he can change the way he sings in one song very quickly is also amazing! the way he moves and acts on tsage is also very cool, kakkoi!!! The guitarist his very good, the base player... looks like GACKT...＊LOL*
I don't have much time left now at the internet cafe so this live report will be a bit short, gomen ne!
Tomorro I will see Kisaki's new band Phantasmagoria again, and some other PS Company indies bands!
Wedenesday I see Moi dix Mois!!! waaaah MANAsamaaaa!!! dis!!!! ^_^ \m/

05:18 pm - Iroha!!! 3,2,1 hoo!
Waaaah!
We were sooo stressed yesterday because we didn't recive the ticket, that seri and sari (love them) won for us at a lottery, by mail yesterday. So we didn't have a ticket for the show, but seri and sari, wonderful as they are, called to the LIVE HOUSE and told the staff about us so when we got there we got to the LIVE SHOW anyway, even though we didn't have the ticket yet! I was so happy!
Mostly because IROHA was playing at this live and I totally looove them, I always feel so happy after having watched a Iroha live show.
Anyway I'll do a little short live report here:
LIVE HOUSE: Roppongi Y2K
BANDS:
1. Phantasmagoria (Kisaki's new band)
2. Marusa
3. Gilgamesh (Girugameshi)
4. Iroha
5. Vidoll (Vidoru)
I went there to see Iroha, of course!!! ^_^
They were sooo great! It was a really intense live, because they only had time to play 3 songs, but it was really fun! Shinnosuke was genki as always, and he recognized me from the Iroha live I was at in Takadanobaba AREA. hehe anyway this time he was leaning himself into the audience. The fans helg him up. including me (which isn't very hard because he is so small and weight like... 2 kg or something *LOL*) anyway when he pulled back he grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to the stage! Yey thanks Shinnosuke, I got a better view! ;)
Anyway it was a lot of fun and I am looking forward to seeing them again and that time not only Miyu and me but Karoliina also will see Irohaaa!! ^_^
The other bands:
Phantasmagoria: They were really cool! This was their first live, so nobody knew the music yet, but I liked them a lot! Phantasmagoria's music is thougher and have a faster beat than Kisaki Project, so I like Phantasmagoria better than Kisaki Project! Much cooler, go Kisaki!!! ^_^
Marusa: Hmmm they were cool and entertaining, but at this live it was the most boring band though.
Gilgamesh: They were much better than the other live I saw them in. Entertaining, but not great.
Vidoll: Well they are good, but I didn't really listen to them because they played right after Iroha so I had walked to the bar to get my Melon Soda drink after having jumped around to Iroha... ^^;
Hai hai... tomorrow we are going to see Omnyouza at Shibuya AX with Miyu's friend Daisuke! And on friday we might be going to the Ueno Zoo to see the Giant Panda they have there, hihi kawaii!!!

02:12 pm - KOZIsama again! ^_^
Oh long time no write! ;D
Now I have been to Alamode night (all night Gothic Lolita party) and KOZI's handshaking event!
Alamode night was a lot of fun as always. And Elise was with us, she meet her LJ-friend Amiyu there and he and his friends were a lot of fun to talk with! ^_^ We also met Taroo there and talk with him a lot, he is nice as always! His staff knew some english and she actually knew good french and talk to Elise, because she had lived in Quebec for a year or so, that was cool!
I danced a lot and after like 2 drinks Miyu also started to dance some, even though she is too shy to dance in the beginning, I had to draaaaag her out on the dancefloor! Haha, she's so cute, ne!!
Anyway after the all night gothic lolita party we got home to Kawasaki like 9 in the morning and then we just jumped into the shower, redid our make-up and then went back to the city to met my friend Andreas (old classmate from Stockholm's University) at Harajuku to show him all the cosplayers there. ANd of course he got to see wath happen when foringers like us also dress up in visual/gothic lolita clothes: a lot of people take our pictures! ^^;
But it was fun, one of the usual camera-men we always see were there and took a lot fo pictures of me, and I said I would be there next week to he had to give me copies of them!! Ohoho free pictures are good!!! ^___^
After Harajuku we went to the KOZI event at LIKE AN EDISON, we met Yumi on the way of course and went togheter!
The event was wonderful! KOZI was cool and funny as always, and we had really good seats in the front so we had a good view of KOZIsama!
Then after a interview we got to shake his hand and get his autograph!
I gave him some swedish gingerbread cookies and a letter, and then I told him that I had seen him live in Eve of Destiny a few times and he got intreseted and asked where, so I told him, and then he said my japanese was really good (ohohoo it is really not but atleast I am good at pronouncing Japanese...). The autograph he signed to everybody with their names, so he wrote RiRi e on mine (that means 'To Lily'), that was fun!!! ^__^
Yey KOZIsama!!!
Oh yeah I just bought a Moitie handbag and a Moitie dress, wahaaa!!! A little bit expensive neee but soooo cool!!! ^___^ I will wear the dress for Moi dix Mois LIVE show (and on other events too of course)!

10:15 pm - KÖZIsama
Helloooo~
Okay let's do a summary of the last 3 days!!
Ikimasuyo~!
26/11
LIVE HOUSE: Yokohama Arena Sound Hall
Bands:
1. CalorZe
2. Voyage
3. dystopia
4. Candy Spook Theather
5. gazelle
6. emmurée
7. Calmando Qual
I went there to see Calmando Qual, which was the band who presented the whole show, so there was a lot of commercial of them over the whole place! Hehe!
Anyway, there were not so many people there that went to see them so there was no problem fro me to stand in the front when they played! Yey!! They were very cool, Hibiki the coolest of them all of course, still as weird and "scary" as always on stage! ^_^ It's so funny because last time I saw them I talked to Hibiki after the live and when you talk to him after the live he is so shy and cute, but on stage he is a totally different person, that's so funny! *LOL*
Anyway they have some really good new songs on their new CD's Moral Pollution and Silence and they played them on this live, yey!!! ^_^
The other bands:
CalorZe: the singers clothes looked as if he was trying to look like a halloween-witch or something, not very nice anyway. The music was... well not very special, didn't really like them much. Oh yeah and they had totally copied the dis-drums from forbidden (Moi dix Mois), you know "ba-da-pa-da-pa-da-pa My dis".
Voyage: the Lolita-boy in the band was still cute. Some songs were okay, some were not so okay which a weird rhytm. It was the singers birthday apparently as the fans sang "Happy Birthday" to him!
dystopia: The singer sang the 1st song in an intersing way, playing with his voice, but after that song he just grovled the rest of the songs, not very good.
Candy Spook Theather: Intresting! Their "opening song" (the song that is played as the band go up on the stage) was "This Is Halloween" from Nightmare Before Christmas, which I of course liked because I looove that movie! Then they had really cool costumes and make-up. The base player looked like a zombie lolita, the singer had a striped costume, like a jack-cosplayer (jack is the main character from the movie) and had big Mickey Mouse gloves (haha another band except Tokyo Mikael actually have those gloves too!). The singer moved around on the stage in a really weird shakey way. He changed the way he moved too often though and he looked a bit nervous I guess. They had a fun song in which they sang "Tjabadabadapa" all the time. Well they were fun to watch, but they need a bit of training in doing lives and makeing music, but they are just a new band so they'll get better I think!
gazelle: the singer had covered his face which a scarf and I wondered if he did that because he was ugly or something, and when he dropped the scarf I saw that was exactelly why! He was so not handsome... but I thought that maybe he had a nice voice, but his voice was really flat and boring as well. The music was not very special either.
emmurée: hmmm, okay I guess. Not really my style, but not bad.
27/11
Live House: Club Asia P
Event: Alamode Muscial
It was an intersing event. There were many different shows. The first thing I saw was this guy I've seen it the Gothic & Lolita Bible a few times singing. He was nooot very good. ^^;
Then there was a little fashion show. Following that was a mime-artist, who was really good but the show was too long and a bit weird so you got bored.
Another fashion-show was preformed before a little theather-play was preformed. In this theather-play Riku (model in the Gothic & Lolita Bible) played the "hero" I guess, and there was a woman (Princess Pudding) who read the story out loud (she was very good at reading the text with feeling). The the bad guy in the play was Taroo who was a vampire who had abducted Riku's girl (I think this was the storyline, but I came in late and missed the begining of the play and I of course didn't understand all of what they said since it was in Japanese...) Anyway it was fun to watch.
After that Riku's band Dezart played live. They were... okay, but not great. Riku's voice is not bad but not great either, kind of a flat voice. The music was not very good either, they need better songs.
All their fans (which was about 10 people only) were just Riku's fangirls who only see the live shows because Riku is so daaarn cute, like a little girl, and not because they have good music! *hehe*
28/11
Live House: Shibuya O-East 1st Floor
Event: KOZI Fan Club Event Only
KOZIsamaaa~
Yey! It was fun! First KOZI and his childhood friend came out in stage. They started showing pictures of when KOZI was a little kid, and then when he got older and older, until he was like 20 years old. Being in some little band looking really funny with weird (ugly) make-up! Haha!!
Then there was a little contest where 5 girls (whoes ticket-number was drawn) got to come up to the stage and compete. I didn't really get the rules, but it was like if something ends with chi the pther have to say something that starts with chi, but I think there was some sort of cathegory they had to stick to, they all said reallt weird words thar I didn't understand though.
When a girl lost they got to say a message to KOZI, the first girl said "Please marry me!" that was funny, everybody laughed. ^_^ The other girls said things like "I love you" and "Keep up the good work".
Then KOZI and his friend played some songs, in ENGLISH, hehe, like "Imagen" (John Lennon) and "My Way" (Frank Sinatra)! But of course it was impossible to hear the word he was singing in english as his english is not very good... hehe... "Imagen" sounded kinda like this: "Imajeeen al ze peepooo".
It was really cute though!!! ^_^
Then it was a short break and then they showed videoclips from KOZI's First Live! That was really fun for me to watch because I didn't see his first live, I was in Sweden then *buhu*
Then they came back and played some more! Then it was finished... aah I want to see a full live with KOZIsama!!! He is so cool!!!
Okay that was it!!!
Now the next few days I won't see any live shows. Tomorrow I will go and sing karaoke with Lisa, and later meet Yuri and her friend for dinner! Tuesday I have nothing planed, I guess I will be cleaning Lisa's apartment, we have to do that someday, so of course I will help, and I have to pack my bag because on Wednesday (execept from getting tickets to KOZI's handshaking event at LIKE AN EDISON) I will move to Kawasaki. On Thursday Miyu arrives! Yey!! Tanoshimi!!! After Miyu arrived the scheduel will be full everyday I guess! *haha* ^___^

02:52 pm - Back in Tokyo
Now I am back in Tokyo!
I had a lot of fun in Osaka with Sari and Seri!!! The last day we took it easy, eating breakfast and icecream and then we went into the city and we took a ride on the big red Ferris Wheel that was on top of a building! It was really cool, you could see almost all of Osaka from the top, and because it was nighttime and dark all the lights on the buildings and billboards made it look really nice!!!
I have been Seri's and Sari's English teacher for this last 3 days also! They want to learn more English and tried really hard to learn a lot! Hihi! ^_^
A thing I forgot to mention about the Iroha live I went to that I think atleast Axel wants to know is that the singer of Kra was there, standing in the back of AREA watching Iroha because he is a friend of them!
I saw him standing there, looking really short, since he is really short, hehe, but I didn't say anything of course, that's kinda embarrasing!!! I wouldn't know what to say anyway!! ^_^;
Today I was at Shinjuku OneJuku with Lisa and I bought a short corsett (the type that is under your breast), and I am really happy because it is exactelly what I wanted and not too expensive (8,000 yen)!
Haha but actually the corsett I bought is for men, so the size fits me, the girls one are too short and too small... but anyway the Men's corsett I bought actucally has an nice waistline, which is good, but kind of strange since boys don't really have a waist... hehe! ^_^;
Tomorrow I will meet Yuri in Harajuku and then we will meet Lisa and some of Yuri's friends in Shibuya and go drinking somewhere! Hehe!
Friday I am seeing Calmando Quals LIVE SHOWS, Saturday is a Gothic & Lolita Event and Sunday I am going to KOZI Fan Club Event! Both Saturday and Sunday I will go the the events with Yumi Seri & Sari!!! ^_^
