Lost for Words . Daisuke


Oh well...why do i always come here for the bad news?

I am feeling a bit like Fumika from Shigofumi... i know that it's gone by some months now since this occurrence, but i only got my November Cure now...i was browsing through it...trying to figure out why were they making such a beautiful report about Daisuke...when i see images of a funeral on the last page...my heart fell to the ground...it couldn't be...but it is...it's true...ffffffffff-
Why the fuck...trying, with my poor Japanese, reading that was...
It is even more depressing that i was supposed to go see Kagerou in france some years ago...and i never got the chance...i remember when they disbanded....i was sad...specially because it was shortly after Lareine...and...oh well...their last show at the Olympia...i remember so well. Yet... i never went...though i passed by the Olympia so many times...i was in hope of...oh well, nevermind...i feel selfish.

The fact now is that all that came to my mind was the lyrics for Zetsubou ni Sayonara and the PV passing by my head like i was the one dying, and i was inside the dark tunnel.
It's weird the feeling...then i felt like listening to Onanist...but i don't have it anymore on this pc...since all my stuff got stolen the other day.
Oh well...rest in peace...it's all i can i say in all the despair of goodbye. I am still chocked...my day kinda was killed now...and bah...seems like they now have a vocal on their heaven bad... Hide - Kami - Jasmine - Daisuke...
I honestly hope noone else dies... i always take ages to get noticed stuff happened...i am such a klutz...Jasmine...you also deserved a report like that, but i understand in memory of your family, you didn't. But oh well...
Another God has left the building.

I'll be over it, eventually.

Ps. Be well people.

Pps. I really liked Daisuke and Kagerou...they were one of my first Jrock bands and one that pulled me into Jrock...so yeah... i even have a poster on my wall...so...bah. I am honestly sad.

Ppps. Zetsubou ni Sayonara.

Pppps. Sayonaranodaikirai...

Ppppps. Joey.

Life. stuff and more stuff



Hello dear readers!
Genki?
Seems like forever since i updated this blog.
I keep receiving my Cure magazine every month, but i have been so occupied with my cosplays and my current like that i barely have time for anything.

I think i should dedicate this post to myself.
After all i write so much about my style and musical taste, but i barely talk about me.
I had a personal blog, called Pandemonium in Paradise City, but the server where i had it hosted closed...my last layout was from rozen maiden's suiseiseki, i did it with lost of love...i was sad when i found it the blog died.
So i have nowhere else to express my feelings.

I am going to do a small quiz about myself that i created personally about all the tricks and things of my life:

What's your name?

My real name is Ainim Dom Jane Love McWarrington
My second name is Madalena Cláudia Contreiras Cantante Amor Ramires

The Origin of your Nick?

My name Manon comes from the changing of letters in Ainim Dom, i am called that since i am little, it's not just a stupid name for the anime community like sakura or yuki...
Blutsanguen means bloody blood from German and Latin words, came from a long long long ago joking night with work friends.
No Bara: Manon No Bara means Manon's Roses in Japanese.

Where were you born?

I was born in Benbridge upon Galway, Ireland in the 3rd of May 89.

Where do you live now?

Lisbon, Portugal

Why do you have two names?

When i came to Portugal in 94 they wouldn't accept my name in the registry so i had to use all my families Portuguese names and forget my Irish family names. I still have the Love though that became "Amor".

Where is your family from?

Both my mum and dad are Portuguese, my grandparents lived in Ireland, and my parents worked there til they had to return with baby me.

What happened?

We lost our house to the terrorists from North Ireland. We lived in the suburbs of Belfast in a christian quarter, because my mum was Jew. But since my dad carried a rosary they thought we were christian and burnt our house to the ground. So we had to return to where my grandparents were, Lisbon.

What is your religion then?

My mum is a Jew, about to convert to Christianity. Both me and my dad are Celtic wiccan pagan.

What are your favorite hobbies?

Sewing, photography, cosplay, web designing, music and studying dead languages or difficult ones with different alphabets!

Love life?

Like one song from Vocaloid (Yamaha synth program music), clearly states: "Love is War".
It surely is... i remember my first "boyfriend" at the age of 6 when i was a kid, and joined school in Portugal for the first time. He was incredibly ugly...i still remember his face...it was so ugly it stained my memory...
At the age of 13 i liked a boy for 3 years...but i eventually forgot him for his own relief.
Then i had a date with an Italian/Brazilian, called Liam, over the internet...he had leukemia, and eventually came to die, after we broke up. I thought i knew what love was by then.
At the age of 18 i got my real first kiss, from a friend...that i eventually ended up in a crush with, but that created so much drama, that i ended up really hurting myself and everybody else around me and made me loose people, that i gladly recovered after.
My first boyfriend, at the age of 19, was his cousin, and my neighbor...it was 6 months long or so. He fell in love with my best-friend and it ended up in a lot of mess, and hatred, that i don't feel any longer, because people must be able to kick the ball and progress.
Almost one year later, i met, my future husband in World of Warcraft <3
And i finally met love too! I met my Joey, the most important person of my life.
The person that i want to get married with and bare kids with, and live happily forever with.
Grow in life and as a person by his side, is everywhere in my dreams. Threatening our relationship is pushing my dark side out!

What do you think about love?

Love is War!
Love is all kind of feelings, you can't even explain.
It's anger, it's sadness, it's depression, but it's also happiness, joy, memories, smiles, goosebumps and heartbeats. It's passion, it's romance, it's shades of gray and twists of color.
It's understanding, it's forgiving, it's shining in the rain, it's crying of joy, of mixed feelings, of missing.
It's the Portuguese word "saudade".
Its phone-calls...it's texts. It's the absence of words too.
It's tones of colors and smells. Letters in the rain!
It's the urge to use the mail and write letters (which i have never before).
It's close, and it's apart.
Love is many things, and i experience all this feelings everyday, by the side of my love.

Any friendships?

Not really.
I never had a dear friend after i lost Filipa, and sometimes i miss having someone close, that isn't your lover. But i can bear telling my problems to my lover, even if he is hell apart. I am living with it, and i am living well.
I have tones of people close to me, but i am only open with Leonor and Gil, and a few other, at times, not about all the things of my life. And i rarely talk about love life.
Yes it's kinda sad, i don't have many friends, but i kinda don't feel the urge to have them you know? I am not a friend whore, and i kinda don't need to have lots of people around me. Not anymore.

Enemies?

There are people who don't like me mainly due to my personality. I am very dual, i am a natural tsundere. I can be really sweet and i can be really manly.
I am often called the man of the relationship...and it doesn't matter if i try hard to look feminine or womanly, it never works.
There are people who i created instant empathy with for stupid reasons such as my work.
Or people who can't accept critics or opinions.
I am always accepting critics, specially in my work, so i don't understand how can people sometimes be so proud of themselves and eliminate everything that tricks them as wrong from their lives.
For example: I was recently removed from a forum that belongs to a person that doesn't like me and which i have nothing against since i don't know her, because she probably thinks i was there to spy on her, when i am honestly a fan of Rozen Maiden.
I don't like people that judge others based on first impressions. I can't dislike someone i don't know...and i find it stupid that people dislike me without knowing me.


How do you describe your personality?

I am a kind and sweet person, to those i think deserve it. I am mostly very manly. I talk loud, i badmouth everything, i sit with my legs open, i throw bad language and laughing attacks every 5 minutes, i spit to the ground and i bite my nails.
I am obsessed with my hair, my favorite place to be is the hairdresser, i love washing my hair, and taking care of it, because i love it, i love my hair, i love everything about it.
I use it straight, but it's actually very curly. I was very ginger when i was little, but the color eventually washed out with the so many cuts i had in the past. I dye my hair red and dark brown mostly, though i had purple, pink, orange and blue extensions.
I always try to do what i can't...i put it inside my head, that i want to try and do drawings, costumes or sing as good as many of the artists i love, but i never get there and end up frustrating.
I love games, i am a natural gamer. I have a PS2, PS3, DS and i am aiming for PSP (just to play KH Birth By Sleep).
I love anime and being able to cosplay my fav characters is a bliss.
I love reading, though recently i don't remember the last time i read, but i am sure it was: Blood Canticles by Anne Rice before all this vampire fever.
I am friendly, i mostly laugh in front of others, i rarely cry in front of others too (yeah, i had a time i did, a lot...but not anymore...and before the crying bursts i was also very dry in public...it was just an unhappy phase.)
I am not very confident about myself at times, which leads me to lie about myself, though i don't do that anymore, or rarely do.
If i am happy? maybe... i will totally reach it someday.
I love my life, i love my boyfriend, i love my parents! And i love my cat Thomas o'Malley too!

What do you hate the most?

Hypocrisy, stupid kinds of jealousy, cheese, nuts, milk, lies (though i compulsively lied in the past, i don't do it anymore).

Work and future?

I am a professional photographer, i do mostly free lancing though i did modeling and studio photo in the past. I love darkroom and i hate photo edit, i find it takes the natural beauty of things, though i have to use it mostly in my daily life though, i never exaggerate.
Photography is not just a work to me, it's my way of reminding the things i like the most, and my way of creating memories, happy or sad, it's not just a way of filling my DA gallery, or my work posters.
I am right now on college doing design, so i can expand my horizons a bit, because it's hard to find work nowadays, though i have that mostly assured by now.
I don't care if you like my work or not, or if you say it's shit...as long as my clients like it, and my family and boyfriend, and no, i don't find their opinions biased just because they love me.
Every time i great artist comments on my work, it's a bliss, and it happens frequently, and that's what keeps me moving an doing what i love. I don't care if people who are still studying and have all their heads messed upside down don't like my work, i have 3 courses passed with flying colors, you don't...! dot. And i don't care if your cameras are better than mine, if what's behind it is shit, there's nothing you can do about it.
Professional photographers or artists with sense of eye and art that comment on my work are welcome too, and i always answer to all of my comments and appreciation!

Sports?

I hate most of them!
Even if so i did horse back riding for like...6 years?
I played ice hockey too for the same time at the Irish and English female juniors team, but an accident made me quit, and also made me anemic....something that i hate.

Art?

I danced Irish tap for 10 years, but quit because the modality is rare in Portugal, unfortunately, you only find American tap, and i can't be assed to go to Ireland every other holiday to tap dance.
I danced ballet for 17 years too using the Royal Academy of Dance methods, and annual examinations til grade 7 and Intermediate.
I Photograph since i am 6 when i gained my first film camera. My first Photo shoot was in Prague, C.Republic, at the same age.
My first real paid Photo shoot was for the magazine B & W, where i gained my first course for my Auschwitz photo shoot.
My second real paid Photo Shoot was for the magazine Photo (french) in a contest about Venetian Masks where a clown picture own me my second photo course.

I am currently working on my personal website featuring my conditions and my work for future photo shoots!
And i am studying web design to be able to bring you the best of the interfaces.

This is the first time i am so open about my work, and i never ever try to sound hypocrite about it, hence none of this information is on my DA, because i want people to appreciate me for my work and not based in some titles or money i might have earned with my work.

I can't draw, or paint, though i tried...
And i am learning how to sew, because it relaxes me, and because i want to be able to do my own cosplays...I am not doing bad so far.

Travels?

Fortunately i know mostly every European country, and i had the opportunity to photograph every aspect of them. I am very lucky to have parents that die working to be able to give me the best of holidays.

Cosplay?

I consider my best one Crona from Soul Eater, not just because it fits me but because it was the first i did myself. The sword was a lot of work, but i loved doing it with the help of my awesome sauce dad! I also loved cosplaying Lust and making those nails was fun!
I am currently working on my Frederica Bernkastel from Umineko cosplay.

Music?

I am the vocalist of the Portuguese anime cover band "Tempura".
I am a recent addition and i hope to do well in the future.
I was in a choir since i was 6, and i also played the piano for 13 years.
Played the guitar for 3.
Studied opera and lyrical singing, but quit.
Now i am working my voice for pop/rock singing.

Music is my life, i love it, and i wouldn't be able to live without it.
I listen to JRock/Pop, and metal...but also some lame brit pop.
I am addicted to vocaloid and my favourite ones are Kaito and Miki. It's extremely important to develop those kind of softwares because they might evolve to medical systems to develop voice in deaf people who can't talk. It's my way of seeing vocaloid.

Fashion?

I love polka dots, and squares! And die (dice)
I like vans!
I love black, red and purple.
I love the Lolita style, but i love Gothic aristocrat the most, but the only time i get to dress like that is during winter. On summer i am just a street scene emo kid (lol sorry, most people will see me like that, though i try hard to style my hair visual kei style). On winter i am a cute masculine Gothic aristocrat! i love it! And don't take me wrong, i love being a woman, but i act male, involuntarily.

Nature?

I love...foxes...adoration!
I also love cats, specially tigers...adoration!
And orangutans...adoration!

My 3 top animals.

I also love turtles, penguins and zebra!
I love any kind of cat be it big or small.
I love dolphins.
I love butterflies.

I love Japanese gardens
And English style parks.

I love squirrels!
I love pandas!
I love iguanas and snakes!

I love love loveeee giraffe's eyelashes!
And lemur!
And meerkats!

And above all, i love the world where i live in, my world...the world of my things.

Why this name for the blog?

It's the name of a Lareine song i love.

--------------------------

This is me...then...
Enjoy it! If i remember anymore, i will edit my post!
Ja ne! minna sama ga.

Quintet



Howdy my readers.
I know i didn't write for a long time, but this blog always had a slow upload. I feel confortable writing when i want to.
The image you see above breaks my heart when it says quintet and dear Jasmine isn't there. It's been some months now, but yesterday i couldn't help but remember him.
I remember that at the time of his death i dedicated a deviation on my deviantArt to him. Simple purple flowers, really bright and colorful, but still very simple and quiet.
That's how i remember Jasmine. A bright but simple man. If you remember correctly his pictures without all the roses, velvets, nails, golden butterflies and extravagant hats, he was a very simple and delicate, but also charming man.
I read all the texts his band maters wrote to him, and the one that almost made me burst into tears, was Hizaki's one. And also Teru's, but the one with most impact was Hizaki's.
But still, i didn't cry...i might have been the only fan not to. I read blogs all around the net claiming how the fans cried until they couldn't more, when he died.
I didn't shed a tear, not a single one. I was the one who kept faithful to Jasmine's family, and also Jasmine's final wish. That noone would shed a tear for him, but remember him with a happy smile for the person he was, and the good moments he left behind to his fans all around the world.
And that's what i did, and yesterday, in the darkness of night, i remembered Jasmine, with a smile, i remembered him surrounded by those same purple flowers i dedicated to him, and everytime i pass by the farm where those flowers are, i remember Jasmine's delicate but strong parfum.
Because deep inside i believe that both Hide, Kami and Jasmine are playing in heaven the most sweet of melodies. Now they only need a lead singer, and perhaps a support guitar, because the godly melody is almost complete with the most epic of the guitar players, the most extraordinary of the drumers and the most exquisite of the bass players.
And now, after the storm, this is my most dedicated and sincere of thoughts, just because i had a dream about Jasmine. A dream, not  a dream, my eyes were open wide, but i spoke of Jasmine until i fell asleep. I spoke of Kami and how Mana got morbid after his death, i spoke of Hide too. But above all i spoke of Jasmine.
I spoke of how his band mates took him to see the starry sky, as his last wish. How he couldn't move on his last days to go see the fireworks by himself, and had to watch them from the roof balcony. How he on the day of his death, put on his make up, had his nails done, and dressed on his Hizaki Grace Project dress, the one that made him spread his wings as a wonderful musitian.
This made me realize how much of a delicate man he was. He chose to die on the same clothes that gave him life. He chose to have those clothes burnt with his remains.
And that to me, makes me think of how great a man he was. How great of heart he might have been, and still is.
Because real heroes never die.

And finally i can say, in my heart and mind, the purest of feelings that:

"God has left the building"

I am over it.

Thank you Jasmine.

Keep Rockin' with Kami and Hide






I know one month has gone by now, but i only got the drastic news today, unfortunatly, or more like, i wish i didn't get to know it.
As far as i remember, i created this blog exclusively for jrock/pop issues, so i felt i had to post this sad new here as well. I am still in shock, half laughing half crying in shock, it's 10:28 where i live, i didn't get any sleep tonight, so, the effect is like, the double over me.
Yes, at the 9th of August 09, Versailles announced Jasmine died, and he was previously away from the band, announcement made at the 6th.
I can't believe it still, it's so hard for me to take it in, when someone i admire dies.
I was never a huge fan of Versailles, i met Versailles when they started, most likely, because i was always a huge fan of Kamijo, since the times of Lareine (i am kinda old school xD). And, compared to Lareine, Versailles is technicaly much better, but they never had not even half of what Lareine meant to me. Lareine was the music that inspired me to get to know what i do today about JRock. Lareine to me is like a symbol. And Mayu took Lareine away from me, forever.
But, Versailles, was like, the following of Lareine, and as a gigantic Kamijo admirer, i kept following his footsteps.
Seems like i followed them to one point, and then i switch off the button from Versailles, though i have all the cure megazines with them, and all the records and stuff, i was never very into Versailles, because, it's not Lareine anymore.
Though i liked one song or another, specially the song Zombie, which is my favourite from them, it never played 173 times on my iPod, like Sakai no Hana, from Lareine.
Nevertheless, this pained over my shoulder as soon as i got the new.
I almost all the month with my boyfriend, because he came to visit me in Portugal, so i was quite absent from the internet world for that period of time.
Today i was doing a research on Versailles member pics, because i wanted to get on my pc, the scans from August cure megazine (i have the megazine but cba to scan it)
, and i saw tones of images saying Rest in Peace Jasmine You... with the date of his birth and death, and so one...and i was like wait wait wait...WHAT? This can just be a prank can't it?
I think i am a too good a person, but i was really really shocked... i can't even react. I kept browsing sites with the news of his death, and i am still out of words.
My parents came home from their works this morning, and i shooed them away from my room just now, because i can't be assed to stand them now.
Is this normal? or am i just too sentimental and idiot?
But i am sincerely shocked with this new.
Jasmine is dead... i will never see Versailles live...with him there, with his long colourful nails, his pirate hats, his curls, butterflies, gold and velvet... the most funny of the Versailles members is gone forever. Though gone, but not forgotten.
Because, as Neil Young used to say, the same saying Kurt Cobain used on his suicide letter "It's better to burn out, then to fade away".
So Jasmine, i hope you can read this wherever you are. I suppose you don't wish your fans to cry rivers for you. You want to see them happy that your suffering time is gone, that you are in a better place now.
But, you were my favourite Versailles member, besides perhaps Kamijo, because i met Kamijo much before i did meet you, though i didn't meet both of you in real life, but still... first time i saw your face, you were still on Hizaki Grace Project.
Geee... he was an exellent bassist, one of the best on the VK scene and...gone...
And now everybody is happily starting to come to life from shock with chit-chat like..."the substitution"...what substitution?...do you think someone can actually substitute Jasmine?
It's a new member, a new start, not someone who is going to substitute anyone...lame fangirls... they only think about gay guys with short pants.
I seriously have to go rest, then wake up and go eat 4 cheese raviolis and then calmly at night reflect upon this lesson of life, that was given to me today.

To you Jasmine, rest in peace mate, you will forever be inbetween all your fans and people that admired you, and befriended you.
And, as i read on the portuguese Versailles community...

I Hope you are Rockin' Heaven with Kami and Hide!
You guys can almost form a band of shining starts!

As for you all that read this, my best regards...

Sincerely...

Ainim

ZOMGGGGG

OMG!

Did i just ressurected my blog or what? Well unfortunatly the server of my portuguese blog went puff and ah uh...peanuts.
Well, why did i decided to come back? Don't ask me, i guess i was bored, it's 4 am i mean... noone goes and do an awesome banner like this one, at 4 am...uhuhuhu i am so good eh? My style improved like hell in two years.
It's mummy Merc's doing... she is a great mummy, and she teaches me a lot of photoshoping.

As for meself! I'm ok! PMSic! But ok! My holydays were the same old thing and I really found some J Rock albuns at Paris *nhyahhh*
I bought: Kagerou, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Merry, Moi Dix Mois, MUCC, Gazette, Ayabe and Nightmare!
I can say I'm a happy child after all.
Not that I have much to say, anyway...

Winter Version

Good Afternoon! Have you noticed something different around Dress Code?
Sure you did! I've changed my layout for the winter version, since yesterday it was the 1st of December. It's getting really cold around here and I had this wonderful pics from Kamijo and snow so I decided to open my Photoshop 7.0 and do this snowy like banner to change for the Autumn/Orange one.
Sometimes it's really good to change. But when you are talking about banners it's really hard, cause you have to change the lay, the buttons, the links, the colours, the music and everything. This time the song is Fuyu Tokyo that means The Tokyo Winter. So it's adequate altought it was pretty cool playing Dress Code in my blog "Dress Code". This music is softer for a winter.
My portuguese blog will also be changing lay soon for a winter version, for this present one is too red for a winter. It's actually my face, but it's tooooooo red! It looks like Moulin Rouge there. I have to change the music too. Guess I'll place Billet playing for it's a bit softer for winter.
I'm so like seasons. Maybe it's because I'm Wiccan or something, and we have to be coordenated with the seasons.
There's gonna be a great hannuckah at my parents this year. And I'll have to attend because of granny, but actually I'll be celebrating the Yule at Paris with my friends Tala and Mathias.
This year we are gonna spend a lot of time there. It's gonna be cool, cause there is always a Virgin Megastore to empty XD. No kiddin'. My stay in Paris is equivalent to 40 albuns of different bands and places. I'm a crazy for music. That's why I created this place. Well guess I'll try to look for D'espairs Ray and Kagerou at Champs Elisées. Once I found there Moi Dix Mois so I don't think it's so impossible as that since Kagerou and D'espairs Ray have been in tour there.
Where is Portugal? I don't know, cause everybody seems to forget we exist. Well probably I would be the only one at the their show really! Dir en Grey were supposed to come here! What happened? THEY CANCELED THE SHOWWWWWWW! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
What a misfortune this country. Luckily when I'll end my singing licence I'll have to go to other country to study and happily I'll have more chances to see J Rock bands act in front of myself. I'm also wishing to go to the Liepzieg Gothic Treffen 2007. I'm trying to get tickets from a friend of mine which works at Napalm Mastersound. I don't know if I'll be able. But I hope so. Lets just wish Mana Sama will be there this year too.
If not... well maybe I'll go to Wacken Open Air 2007. That one I've been going for 3 years by now. If I don't go out of the country how can I see my fav bands? I can't so... I have to move. Download, Wacken Open, Summer Breeze, Gods of Metal, etc.etc.etc.
Today I got a frustration! I went to BD Mania and I found 2 volumes of Neon Genesis Evangelion that were missing in my colection. But...tadahhhhhh! I had no money for the both of them! So I had to buy vol.1 and leave vol.7 behind. I hope nobody buys that! For I can go there at monday and buy it. *prays really loud*.
That's it, my life sucks a lot, and I have nothing interesting to say really.

Big Kissu*

~Grand Pain~

Good afternoon. I know it took me a bit long to write back! Not that I've been really busy, but the portuguese blog server is not working today so I decided to make an AV and post something here on my english blog.
Does anyone have the GRAND PAIN PV? I desperatly need it! I even have the entire Chantons L'Amour and Scarlet Majesty Tour here in my pc and I DON'T HAVE GRAND PAIN!
If anyone have it or know somewhere I can get it. JUST TELL ME!
I've been listening recently to some D'espairs Ray! It's really cool. I downloaded [Coll:set] from Limewire yesterday and I'm looking forward for J Rock no Sekai to reupload the mini albuns and singles from them.

Appart from that! Some people are really jerks! I was playing habbo [silly brazilian community] and a guy tricked me with a virus he sent me through msn! My pc ran madddd! Lucky me I'm really cold blooded! I didn't despair! I looked like someone from Neon Genesis Evangelion while the pilots are fighting inside the Evas. Yelling commands to a friend of mine: Shut the power, restart!!!!!!!!!
Damn you see! Things were getting bit shocking here! But I did get rid of the virus and didn't lost my account at habbo - because I have a paid account! The virus gave the password to the guy but he did nothing to my account so I changed the password and I'm now running my Norton AntiVirus here.
Thank god I had informatics or I would scream like a cow seeing my pc burning fast.

Thats it! I had a 15 [0-20] in my Portuguese exam about the Lusiads. I think it went pretty well for the 0 i've studied!
I've been bad of feelings latelly. I hardly sleep. You see this friend of mine tried to comit suicide because of me [really complicated story] and none of his friends besides my best friend Tala came for help. He is taking care of him at his house and I wished I could be entirely by his side, but I have school, I study, I work, and Tala got fired so he has a lot more time.
I went to the Cradle of Filth show at Paradise Garage [downtown Lisbon], and the show was pretty cool! I loved the opening with Deathstars and all. It was amazing.

Here some pics.

(sorry for the bad grafics =X)

And it was it! Dany is really really great! It's the 3rd time I go and see them.
Now I know Luckitty wanted to go >.< I didn't know so I hat to go alone =/ I had 2 tickets though!

Anyway this pics are illegal. I wasn't allowed to take pics but I had my cam hidden and I did it! I was caught but they did nothin', just told me to guard my cam, but I didn't and made many illegal movies with it. cccccccccccccccooooooooooolllllllllllll!
Oh and I broke the entrace. The line was really big and I just placed myself near the entrace and broke with the first guys that got in! So I went to the barssssss! muahahahahah!
OH And I only drank 2 beers [I'm behaving LYNA!]
That's it!
*Kissuuuuuuuuuu*
See u next post.

Kissuuuuuuuu

Chantons L'Amour?

Good night my friends...sorry for this enormous absence from myself, but I have a lot of things to do...You know I must have. I'm training to become a lyrical singer and it really demands a lot of my spare time (appart from school of course). I don't actually have much to post here today... I did this nice avatar so I thought, hey manon, why not doing a post today... to be serious, I did a hugeeee gif for my portuguese blog Pandemonium and it resulted really well. It's with this same pict of Kamijo in "Never Cage" suits. I love the golden butterfly on the back of his coat... I was only able to see her while I was watching the Cinderella Fantasy PV, because I had never noticed the butterfly.
OMG, I'm still so sad, luck me Kamijo still writes in his personal blog and fortunatly I always menage the translations for I can read it.

Well, Portugal... I miss someone to talk about stuff I like... I feel like I'm the only one liking JRock in the entire country. I know it's not true, but that's how I feel. My other friends who love are from Brazil, and they are so far away from me... although I love them though.
I wished Dany and Kelly were my neighbours and we could just see each others everyday and talk like hell about Mana (Dany just loves Mana Sama), and well the bands *you know what do I mean* I feel quite alone on that matter. People here only like brainwashing music like rap, hip hop and kizomba.

It makes me laugh, or at least used to, when our
school had a radio place, and they places such horrible songs playing on the audio system.
When I think about it I always bless my iPod for all the good moments.
Talking about that! I finally have the entire PVology of Lareine, or at least almost (still missing that damned GRAND PAIN who always loves to run away from me)
When I saw them playing in my iPod I couldn't believe it was true back then.
*Kamijo looks so cute in all of them* --> I think he is really expressive in what he does, even if it's just an act, I don't care what people say.
Usually the comment is this one:

--> Wether you like or not Lareine... Or you hate them, or you love them, there is never an intermediate level.
        --> If you like... it looks like Kamijo is singing for you and just for you.
        --> If you hate... you just wanna throw Kamijo through the window (go on I'll catch him)

I used to say I loved Kamijo 'cause he seemed like he was singing for my and just for me like whispering into my very same ears, his poetry.
When Dany watched the Saikai no Hana PV she said exactly the same:
         -->You were right! It looks like he is singing for you in particular, like is just you there.
I have to agree... That is what called my attention on Lareine in the first place.
2nd! I could not believe Kamijo was japanease! The only thing there that is visible japanease is exactly his nose. It's so small and cute @_@ *I'm crazy*

I don't know how he does that... but he changed my point of view about japanease people, cause I never really cared about them before, now I'm discovering a lotta new stuff about the subject. It's simply amazing! I WANNA LIVE THERE *_*
Like I could go dreaming forever... now Lareine is over... I gotta conscientialize it! I haven't done it still. It's hard for me to turn on the official site and Kamijo's blog.
I'm so sentimental my GOD and take this business so seriously... Lareine has been my favourite band for a couple of years by now and it's so but so sad what happened that I can't even describe. I don't know if Kamijo is reading any fan lettering around but well I don't know I just feel so unpoetic to write something to him. Seems almost pathetical! He is just what he is! And, I am Manon...see the pointless of all this situation =| YEY I'm sure you do. Nobody reads this anyway then... just unconscious babling!

Stay fine all of you...
My best regards...

Is it the End?

Is this the end? The end of Lareine? It can't be... after a lot of ends, is this definitive? I can't just believe Kamijo gave up so easealy! It makes me wanna hit him with a stick and *hug him* at the same time!

Here I have the translation of the blog message Kamijo left on his personal blog... isn't he at least start a new band like he did with New Sodmy! Whyyyyyy? First Malice Mizer in H.I.A.T.U.S., then Lareine disbands? My fav band of all times???????? Damned! The bands of my life always disbandddddddd! This is so f*uckin' terrible...
But I don't care! I'll keep listening to Lareine no matter what and keep bying the albuns that are still missing in my collection, and keep liking kamijo in the same why, supporting him whatever their decisions look like! And here's the blog entry...

Kamijo's Holiday Blog (translated by Ryan)

"This is a sudden announcement, but due to the absence of members, LAREINE is disbanding without intention to resume activity. Guitarist Mayu disappeared for seven months (Manon's note: beating Mayu with a stick so hard he would die*), so henceforth, Kamijo and Emiru see no reason for the continuation of LAREINE. However, because they say in conclusion, "In the absence of a guitarist, we cannot continue activity with satisfaction," this time they have decided to fully disband (manon's note: why fully! why not gettin' another guitar player and start again?*). The live on 10/31 at (not sure) will be the last, so the artist known as LAREINE will in 2007 have an open exhibition (a personal exhibition?) to completely end activity. The final live will not be a one-man show, and the members and staff express their regrets. However, understanding the circumstances now, please understand that the only decision so far is to go on with the live. It will be the last, but in the 3 and a half years since the revival (of LAREINE) and the 11 years since the initial formation (of LAREINE), thank you very much for your support of LAREINE to be this successful and long-lasting. (manon's note: I'm gonna cry*)

Emiru:
I apologize that I must report this to you all like this.
LAREINE once disbanded, the project called RIBBON passed, and LAREINE returned. I never imagined that the winds of change would blow this way, but I think we should honestly look to the future.
I don't know when I'll stand on a stage again, but when that time comes, but I think I'd wager my life that I will.
When I look back, ever since I broke out of my cocoon, I was reborn with LAREINE -- when Machi was there, it was the original (literally, "without one ingredient changed") LAREINE. First half a year of lives and recordings, then half a year of experiencing RIBBON, even with a little of LAREINE's arrangements, we left the world many songs. (that's probably the easiest way to translate that, lol)
Personally, I think they were a lot of very distinct, different musical projects.
Wow, someday again I'll return to that cocoon and want to make LAREINE's songs and do lives, and someday in the future, with a smile, I want to return to the talented world of LAREINE!
Last, I now thank you very much.

Kamijo:
At the time when Mayu wrote "LAST SONG FOR YOU," it was a premonition of misfortune. That song was supposed to be for Kazumi. The time of "Fierte" was the same. So I didn't publish the song that held such a truly pivotal element. It came true, though. An artist may do that for self-expression. But that prophet-like misfortune was also there, so we also had the responsibility of controlling the life of the people who listened to those lyrics.
To start with, this activity cessation is very close to a disbandment. LAREINE's activity is decidedly not just something brilliant. If it seemed brilliant, and you can certainly say so, there were also ugly thorns. But the flower petals that wholeheartedly extended a hand to hide that lining... No, the flower petals that protected those thorns were blown away by the wind. (Ryan's note: I love how poetic he is even in his disbandment message* - manon's note: I agree*) LAREINE does not need thorns that are more than LAREINE. Thus LAREINE has reached an eternal sleep.
Has the Romance reached everyone?
Could you see the would our thoughts sketched?
LAREINE was our everything.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you to each person who gave us the chance to transcend the limit of everything. (manon's note: Does this really mean full disbandement! Not in my head... nooooooooo*)

And is this what happened? Mayu just desappeared without trail and they don't have a drummer (I could be their drummer and guitar player @_@ *dreams*).
I just can't believe I'm going to the damned tomb without seeing Lareine liveeeeee!
Ahhhhh misfortune of myself! I just can't accemble this still in my head. My Kamijo... no motr Lareine songs? What about something solo... oh 'cmon say something! Your fans are in despair! At least he keeps writting in his personal blog, and that means he is not dead like they said in April.

And this is it... this kind of post make me sad... really sad... just like, I don't know.

My best regards...
