LUV PARADE @ Takadanobaba AREA, Day 3

[notafanboy]

There are plenty of inconveniences about being a Russian citizen. For me, who has been living abroad for nearly ten years and have to go to different countries for work, one of the things I absolutely hate, but have to go through on a regular basis, is getting visas. You know The Evil Red Empire and me its emissary, people must never let their

So now the controversial tweet make sense.

Beautiful. This is definitely the most soulful entry here. Thank you for the honesty. The last paragraph was just gut-wrenching.

I have seen D'espairsRay through your eyes for about 3 years now. You were, no, are an excellent raconteur. I look forward to the next stories.

[notafanboy]

lol what was so "controversial" about it?
I still stand by it. No one deserves an end like this, it's too cruel and sad.
Thank you for reading and your kind words. Unfortunately I think I am capable of writing only about things I care deeply about.

My comment was posted after all! For a while I thought LJ had a grudge against me.

As for the tweet, I'm sure I'm not the only one who was intrigued about that tweet.

Anyway, is it safe to ask about the direction of this blog now? Now don't go hinting of shutting it down ok?! I'm sure there are other bands that you care about (although not as deeply as D'espa of course). Like Alice Nine, Versailles or GACKT, for example (evil laugh). Save for the no-names,that should round up the bands you have expressed some form of aversion before methinks.

I have troubles with lj not displaying some of my entries and login lately too >_>;
lol That was not what I meant. I am not closing it or anything, definitely not deleting it. I want all D'espa live reports and interviews to stay open for everyone to read. I'd never do something so horrible to them as deleting it. Also I have a few friends I keep in touch through it, so why would I close it? But I just might start spamming it with photos of my cat instead of J-rock bands. At least as soon as I get a cat.
But I'm not sure if I want to see other bands live, at least at the moment. I don't want to feel resentful and it would certainly spoil the live for me.

Thank you as always for sharing. I actually know of the band A(p)ril lol since I thought their drummer looked really pretty, but I never followed since I really couldn't get into their music. I'm glad that the vocalist did his best though! It's always going to be tough being 'opening acts'.

Reading through what you wrote always makes me happy, because I really felt like through you, I felt like I was loving them too. I'm glad I was introduced to them through you, and that your reports on them was what introduced me to you. Either way, I suppose I can't really find enough words for 'thanks'.

I look forward to you writing about that trip you mentioned on twitter though -hug-

[notafanboy]

Thank you, my madness is obviously contagious >:P And thank you for the message you sent me the other day ;)
The Ap(r)il guy was funny and I thought his face resembled Toma Ikuta lol
I am so going! *crazy eyes*

[rabu_resu]

but after the five of them left everyone shouted: "D'espairsRay"
D'espairsRayというバンドがなくなっちゃったなんてまだ信じられない。
I guess I won't accept the fact that they really disbanded until the members form their new bands *sighs*

[notafanboy]

I have. Honestly considering what I heard about Hizumi's condition I cannot bring myself to want them to continue. And I would never want anyone to push him and make him struggle more. There is no doubt in my mind that D'espairsRay is very important to all of them and they care for each other. We probably will never know the whole truth, but I think it is an extremely complicated situation: health, their label and contracts, etc. etc.

[rabu_resu]

Everything just came so suddenly I guess :( and I just keep wondering what Hizumi is gonna do from now on. If only there is something we could do for him beside the prays.

Btw another FC trip! You're going aren't you?

[notafanboy]

I am worried about him too and it's so frustrating that I can do nothing to help, all I can do now is wish him the best.
What do you think?! Of course, I am. I guess they wanted to make-up for the trip that got canceled because of the earthquake.

[notafanboy]

You're welcome ;)
That's one thing that will never change!

[xselfishlovex]

Hm. LJ is tricky. It doesn't want work properly>>

Anyway, thank you for sharing! It is so touching.

[notafanboy]

You're welcome and thank you for reading.
