Miyavi's Guitars

This page is also from Glare Vol.3, but show the details on Miyavi's guitars. Scan credits go to: reita_lover @ LJ.

It looks like he has some special attachment on the "Killer Custom". I keep thinking it's like the electrical pickup on an electric guitar, but I don't know. If anyone knows exactly what that thing is and what it does, please let me know!

Miyavi is really cool. REALLY cool. XD

--EDIT--

What a good guess! I learn more about guitars every day thanks to J-rockers. It IS a pickup as I said. On the scan, it say L.R. Baggs in the caption so I Googled the name. L.R. Baggs seems to specialize in these "attachable pickups". Here's their website if you want to look: click. Neat huh?

I like the Gibson Les Paul BFG the best. It's really pretty and has an interesting texture.

★SHINEE★

SM has developed a new boy band named SHINee (pronounced "shiny").

Their first "mini-album" is supposed to come out on May 22nd and is entitled "누난 너무 예뻐".

I'm actually quite looking forward to hearing their music. It's got a nice pop feel to it, the kind of music you can chill out to.

You can find all the information you want in their Soompi thread: click
There is also a LJ community: click

Here's the music video preview for "누난 너무 예뻐 (Replay)":

FT Island - Soyogi

FT Island has released a music video for their new song Soyogi. Soyogi is a Japanese language song.

I'm really proud of them! Their Japanese is pretty good (meaning I could recognize some words), the song has a smooth feel, the music video is classy. It's just GOOD and it's exactly what they need after the Malaysia incident. If anything can pull them back from that, it's quality material like this. I just hope their new album is this good.

Good luck boys! Gambatte~

Episode 3 of Absolute Boyfriend

I really liked this episode! Some advancements were made and stuff. There was THE cutest scene at the end.

Here is the part that contains the good part XD:




I guess it's a little bit over-scripted, but I still think it's good.

This show airs every Tuesday in Japan, so I will now be tortured while waiting for the next subbed episode to be uploaded. That's why I don't watch new dramas.

Absolute Boyfriend

I started watching a J-Drama today. It's called Absolute Boyfriend. I like it quite a bit. The concept is that this girl unwittingly signs up for a robotic boyfriend customized just for her. It's a romantic comedy (which is probably why I like it so much).

Here's the first episode:




I don't know if I want her to pick the robot or the vice president. LOL~ But come on, she paid a million dollars for that thing, you better end up with the robot.

ANOTHER Unproductive Day

Today was so unproductive that I makes me irritated.

I had plans to start out my day with Math after breakfast, so that's what I started working on. After about an hour, just as I was getting into a flow, Mom wanted to do a spelling test and then Spanish. By the time we finished that, it was 12PM so I went to eat lunch. Then I had to carry plants up from the basement after lunch (this is so mom can put them on the porch to "harden them off").

I tried to work on Math again once we finished that, but then she wanted to do test prep. I'm like, "Can we do it tomorrow?" and she's like, "No. Because tomorrow it will just be some other excuse." EXCUSE?! AS IF TRYING TO GET MY MATH DONE IS AN EXCUSE! Anyway, so that's what we did; test prep. Then, she can't remember where we left off in the book and sends me off to look for written work from the math section. I told her I didn't have one from this chapter, but she insisted I look anyway. I went through every folder and didn't find anything. It started to annoy me because in the time that it took to look for this paper, we could have already finished a chapter (not really, but you know what I mean). So I said this to her and she acted like >I< was the one getting and attitude. I wasn't okay? I just wanted to get some school done, which she seemed to have been against all day. It was irritating the hell out of me!

We finished the chapter (which took an hour) and then I worked on that hellish Math until 4PM when Oprah came on.

It was not a vew productive day for me, but I guess Mom felt accomplished. (<_<)

a.b.o.r.t.i.o.n.

Honestly...

I don't know if I an quite look at abortion the same way now. Which, I suppose, is a good thing.

I came across the MV for Dir En Grey's Mazohyst of Decadence. It's a 9 minute long MV that I'm glad I didn't watch before bed. It's really intense. Really gruesome.

But, because they were doing it to get a point across, I can understand. The video is below, but I wouldn't suggest watching it if you're already depressed or about to go to bed.



For not clouding reality and telling the honest truth, I have to respect Dir En Grey a bit more. Songs like The Agitated Screams of Maggots and Tsumi to Batsu will keep me from ever liking them too much though. What kind of things float around in Kyo's head, I would rather not know.

But this video... I know why they did it. And because of that, they do deserve a little bit of respect. I just hope they don't do what those songs talk about, if you know what I mean. If they did, that would warrant extreme hate, imprisonment, and punishment.

I need to pull myself out of this state with something cheerful now. (*_*)
