Yep, time to say goodbye to this blog. Why, you ask? Simple. It's kinda moving. Kinda. It's moving to my new blog Big Bowl of Stuff. Except my new blog won't just be limited to Japanese music, but anything I'm interested in. Admittedly a lot of what I'm interested is Japanese music, but my new blog will also have posts on cosplay, anime/manga, movies, whatever. So yeah, so goodbye to this blog, but hello to my new one!!

Neglect
Appropriate title don't you think? I'm so sorry that I haven't posted in weeks!! Things have gotten busy. Unfortunately due to exams and stuff, I can't continue with the Winter 2010 concert review. Unless someone desperately wants me to, which I doubt. Anyway, this post will just be updates.
Update number 1:
The GazettE have a new single coming out on the 21st of July. The only details they've given out is the name, which is 'NEXT SCENE' and that they'll start a tour to promote this single called 'TOUR10 NAMELESS LIBERTY SIX BULLETS'. Annoyingly, it will take place in Japan. I can't go. DAMMIT.
Update number 2:
Morning Musume have a new single coming out on the 9th of June, called 'Seishun Collection' a preview has been running around on YouTube for a while, but I haven't got round to listening to it yet, so I'm unable to comment on it.
Update number 3:
Morning Musume Alo Hello 4 will be coming out on the 16th of June. For those of you who don't know, it'll be footage of their 4th holiday in Hawaii. They're always fun to watch, and there tends to be a lot of swimsuits involved. Although it does break my heart to know that Koharu isn't in it. Fortunately LinLin can supply hyperness to the DVD, hopefully it shall be just as epic as the third one (Which I do recommend you watch.) Also, I do believe a PB will be coming out with the DVD.
Update number 4:
A new four member H!P group will perform in Shanghai. Can you guess who? Probably not. LinLin and JunJun were the first two (Which is awesome, because they NEVER get the attention they deserve in Morning Musume, especially LinLin). Those two then chose Miyabi from Berryz Koubou to put into the unit (Which makes the unit even more awesome) and then the three of them picked their fourth and final member to be in the unit....*insert drum roll here* Koharu Kusumi, ex-Morning Musume member. This unit sounded awesome before, but when I heard Koharu was the 4th member this was my reaction...
*ahem* ANYWAY!
Update number 5:
Gackt will be releasing a new single on the 16th of June (What is it with the 16th of June?) Unfortunately, we've yet to know ANYTHING about this single. we don't even know a title yet.
Update number 6:
SuG will be releasing a new single on the 30th of June (June really is a popular month...) it'll be called Koakuma Sparkling. Now, I actually have pictures for this! They've released pictures of them in the outfits I can only assume that they'll be wearing in the PV.
(I have no idea why Yuji's name came out different either, the font seemed to have gone weird. Stupid computers.)
Anyway, that's enough updates for now, there's already six, and these are the only ones that have been brought to my attention, or the ones that I can be bothered posting about. (Lol, I fail)
Until next time.

H!P Winter 2010 Concert, Part 3
Finally updated!! I'm sorry, school gets in the way too much. Like I've mentioned previously, because YouTube is evil, I can't see the whole concert, but oh well. The next song was by Guardians 4, called Going On! Now I must admit that I hadn't actually listened to Guardians 4 before, so I didn't know what to expect. But my GOD they're AWESOME! Their voices work perfectly together! (At least I think so) They knew which girls would work best together for Guardians 4. Plus Risako sounds better than usual. So it's very awesome.
As the lights go on you can see that they're wearing the yellow version of their outfits. Yellow, red, green or blue is awesome, they all suit all the girls fine anyway. Well, apart from Aika, but that's because the idiots fecked with her hair.
I'm still not too fond of Risako's fringe, but it does suit the outfit very well.
See? They screwed up Aika's hair. Although, if you ask me, she should've kept her hairstyle from Egao YES Nude:
See what I mean? Her previous hairstyle was so much cuter...
Yurina's looking beautiful, like usual.
Same for Naki. (Naki = Well known nickname for Saki Nakajima)
Seriously, what the FUCK have they done with her hair!?
Ahh, Risako hair, much better. XD
Yurina hair!! SO MUCH BETTER. XD Anyway, I should continue with the actual song and video, not just concentrating on their hair.
Yurina's legs are looking pretty gorgeous.
Yurina's height, once again conquering all.
Naki puts her heart and soul into singing this song. But seriously though, because I don't really listen to C-ute, I've never really heard her voice properly before. And I really do love it.
I really do love this song. And the dance is petty awesome too. Just overall epicness.
Yurina's legs really are awesome. XD
Both the wotas and the H!P girls seem to love this song, and I can't blame them.
Risako's voice really is more epic than usual.
But yeah, anyway, the whole thing is awesome, but there's only so many pictures I want to put in each post so I'll move on to Aa!'s song FIRST KISS!
Ok, so when I go through a video on here, I always watch the whole thing straight through first. I gotta say, If you didn't know or didn't like Airi Suzuki before, MY GOD you will love her now. I'm at a loss. When did she get so sexy!? Not that I'm complaining...
The 3 girls, Akari Soho, Airi Suzuki and Miyabi Natsuyaki (They're in that order form left to right on the stage) start the song off by body rolling and the camera shows the girls' legs. OH HELL YES.
Hasn't been 25 seconds and this song and dance is already unbelievably sexy. Oh and also, AIRI LEGS!! *noesbleed*
Airi's hair is still very epic, and her voice is sounding a lot more mature, which is awesome.
I had no idea who Akari Saho was before this concert, and I already adore her. She's cute and her voice is amazing.
Still prefer's Miyabi's short, straighter hair, but her hat is looking awesome.
AIRI LEGS. Again. XD Actually, all of thier legs are looking delicious. =D
Airi's voice has never been so epic.
Anyone else LOVING how short the skirts are. Especially Airi.
From what I can see, they have pictures of themselves on their tops.
Akari's hat is pretty cute.
Airi's voice isn't the only one that's matured. Miyabi's singing is wonderful as well. Unfortunately I can't comment on Akari's voice improving as I've never heard it before. But I will say that all 3 girls' voices are amazing, they sound mature and superb.
Airi hits possibly the highest note I've ever heard. (Excluding opera)
Miyabi finishes the song beautifully.
Out of the two songs I've just written about I must say that I adore FIRST KISS! about 573057204 times more. I absolutely love Aa! I hope they release a new single soon. Anywya, I have the two songs just below. I recommend both of them, just FIRST KISS! more...XD

Poll Results Are In! 1st Poll!
Some of you may have voted on the poll on the left hand side. I hope you did, I managed to receive a total of seven different voters XD Although, if you take into account you were allowed up to three, that's 19 in total. The poll was who's your favourite Berryz member! I'm going to go in reverse order, because that makes sense. Also, I give fanservice/epic videos or pictures of each member, but the amount of votes decides how much you get.
JOINT 3RD:
All with two votes each, the joint third/last place people are Yurina Kumai, Miyabi Natsuyaki, Maasa Sudo and Chinami Tokunaga!
Yurina:
I really like her voice, plus this video shows off her great height XD
Miyabi:
She's so cute X3
Maasa:
Just beautiful :)
Chinami:
Although this video appears to be reasonably old, it still captures Chinami very well. Also, anyone else noticed that Momoko managed to sneak on the video? XD Oh well...
2ND:
Receiving 3 votes, Risako Sugaya comes in second!!
Full of fanservice XD
I realise that they're both duets, but Sayumi seems to bring our Risako's talent more. Maybe because Sayumi's singing talents are somewhat lacking...
AND JOINT 1ST *EPIC DRUMROLL*:
Recieving four votes each, Momoko Tsugunaga and Saki Shimizu WIN!!
Momoko:
FECKING ADORABLE.
How could you not love her! XD This continues to the next video as well:
Anyone else love the fact that LinLin just randomly invaded the video at the end? XD
Saki Shimizu:
EPIC DANCE SOLO OF DOOM. XD
I love her voice, plus you get a nice look at her legs XD
WARNING: Video contains a bit of SakixMiyabi and SakixChinami XD
So anyway, there's your poll results and your fanservice XD The next poll is 'Who is your favourite GazettE member?' If you don't know who they are, feel free to look at the pictures below and pick you like the look of the best XD
The order (from left to right, for both pictures):
Aoi, Reita, Ruki, Kai, Uruha
The poll is on the right of the page, PLEASE VOTE!! :)

The Obligatory (Yet Late) Post
Yesterday, was the 12th of April, and a couple things took place. Yesterday, twas indeed, my birthday, and Airi Suzuki's birthday AND Hitomi Yoshizawa. I warn you now, this post contains: picspam, Airi, Hitomi, Dir en Grey, Alice Nine and Gackt...in that order! :D (Well picspam will be consistent throughout...)
First of all, Airi! Yesterday was her 16th! This case is a bit like Risako...I wonder if this changes anyone's opinion of her? To be honest she's just too cute, the kind of person you'd love to hug, but feel terrible if you thought of her any other way, you know what I mean? Just look at her!
Airi's on the left.
Airi's in the middle. (And looking absolutely gorgeous in this picture)
Seriously, she's adorable. She says her charm point is her ears, and I totally agree.
So let's celebrate this amazing girl's 16 birthday!! You, yes YOU can even say happy birthday to her!!
http://www.c-ute.jp/cho/airi.html
I feel like I've become part of something now, it's strange. XD You have a time limit though. The site/fan messaging thing is only open till the 18th of April! So hurry up! XD
ONTO HITOMI YOSHIZAWA (A.K.A Yossie. I'll be referring to her like this)
What can I say, she's very VERY awesome. She was and always will be THE tomboy in Morning Musume, and her voice is addictive. She's gorgeous too. She's just full of win. I wish she never left Morning Musume...
Yossie in leather is always good. :D
She's beautiful and awesome, Yossie, does in fact epically win. I really do love Yossie. I feel so sorry for her. I previously said I wish she never left Morning Musume, and I really do, but I'm pretty sure she left because of her younger brother. Her younger brother died in a car crash when he was 16, January 11th 2007. She left Morning Musume May 6th 2007. Yeah, this is starting to get depressing, so I'll move on to the Dir en Grey, Alice Nine and Gackt part of this post!
Like I wrote before, not only was it Yossie's and Airi's birthday yesterday, but it was also mine! Although I got more than 3 CDs, the rest of the presents aren't to do with Japanese music. (A good amount of it was still Japanese though. For I am an otaku. :D) Anyway, I know that these CDs have been out for a little while, but there are still all awesome.
Dir en Grey - Vulgar
I LOVE this album. I recommend this to anyone who loves Visual Kei. Or just Japanese rock, this album is pure AWESOME. I can't pick a favourite track. I love the tracks 1, 2, 3, 4 and 13.
Alice Nine - Vandalize
This album is also awesome. I love the tracks 3, 5, and 8. Admittedly this is my least favourite out of the 3 that I got, but it's still worth buying.
Gackt - Re:Born
I ADORE this album. (Album complete with two covers XD) I can't stop listening to it. This album has had quite a few bad reviews, which I just cannot understand. I can't pick a favourite, because they are all outstanding and his voice is purely amazing. I love it. It's now my favourite album of all time. IT'S EPIC.
Now that I've stopped Gackt fangirling, I shall say goodbye! I'm sorry about my fail updating. I know I should be posting about stuff, but I have crap to do. Why doesn't school recognise a holiday, as an actual holiday? I hate homework. Oh well. I promise that the next post will be centred around D'espairsRay and their now newish single. After that I will continue with the Winter concert. Oh and the poll on the left will fit into a post somewhere...
Also, another plea from me, because I'm that pathetic (but don't care :P) Can you please comment? Not just because I like comments (Even though I do) But I would love to know what you like about my blog, what you don't, what you want me posting about, what you don't, and so on so forth. SO PLEASE COMMENT :)
