Long time no see everyone. I would be the words used to describe the past few months with the following title, but broken things are always repairable for the most part. Much like anything in life, one thing ends, another begins. Personally, I spent more energy and time on my other type of job more than anything else which brought me to an unfortunate end. Even though me and the other job does not see eye to eye, I do not resent them for their decision. In the end, felt like a bitter defeat, but looking up, it turned into something better than expected. I soon learned a lot of things that once were forgotten and found my place. It may look like it was abandonment which wasn’t my attention, but now I stand with both feet on the ground, on top of everything. Kept ya waiting, huh?
After a breif - or rather yet "extended"- away from the very essense of the internet, many new information posted. For one, I been heavily addicted to Golden Bombers. They are a band that is currently missing from the scene in my opinion. It's like someone took Psyco-Le-Cemu and smashed them with An Cafe and sprinkled with VK-like style. Bad description, but that's pretty much how I would decribe it.
Two things that finally posted is the hopefully firstof many hit of the J-rock concert season by Japan Nite, coming back in Los Angeles in March 26th at the Viper Room. I'm pretty sure there is another annoucement that was made that I'm not aware, but though my breif search, could not find it. Second, X Japan postpone their album to summer and exclusive deal with EMI Music and Yoshiki Radio that pops up once a month on XM Radio which starts next month. Of course their "Jade" single at March as well. Regarding about this announcement, I cannot help to think that this will expand the music scene from Japan into America.
Now, I wonder if the annoucement of their release date of their album will be the same day of when the concert dates arrive. Who knows. However, I am very excited about Yoshiki Radio. I'm very curious if this is his project channel or possbly PR, but whatever it takes to expand the J-rock scene, or Japanese music scene in general, I'm all for it.
What a great time to be in Japan. Sure it maybe colder than Los Angeles (sometimes I doubt that) but the action really heats up! Plenty of bands playing during the last two weeks. The GazettE was in Tokyo Dome. Luna Sea played their old name "Lunacy." 3 days until the year draws to a close (here in America), but that does not stop plenty of bands to bring in the New Year. One event I know I'll be waiting is the Do As Infinity concert! It'll be streamed on Nico Nico Douga for free. Catch is that it is a parcial stream, but better than nothing really. Two Do As Infinity concerts in one year? Oh why can't this band come over to America (again)!?
