My GLAY VOL. 1 BOX ARRIVED!! But I can't watch it until the 19th. ::cries::

Anyway, that's it. And I just realised I haven't studied properly for Biology, which is in five hours time. ::starts cramming::

Yo! Haven't updated in a while! XD Pretty busy with our individual journals as well as our O Levels and A levels (well, one of us anyways). ^_~

So far, GLAY have been pretty active =

NEW SINGLE HOWAITO ROODO/WHITE ROAD is going to be released on the 15/08.
GLAY EXPO 2004 - UNDULATION is going to be released on the 15/12.
GLAY DVD VOL. 1 BOX was released today. ^^ I preordered it and it should be arriving in the next few days... but I can't watch it until after 19th... not that anyone forbade me but I just can't.
GLAY held a concert around Niigata, but only approx. 8000 people turned up and the money that came in from the concert was donated to the earthquake victims that rocked Japan recently. They will hold a free concert for those who had purchased the tickets but could not make it that day. Sweet~~
GLAY are releasing a photobook (which I want so badly) soon. Haaa.
BLUE JEAN was released a few months ago. Quite good. Subete, Ai Datta was extremely beautiful. ^_^ Go and buy it now!!

Welp, that's it folks!! Keep the GLAY love!!

Waaaiii~ Have you heard? Takuro, our beloved leader of GLAY is already married! Yaaaayyyy!!!!!~ I'm so happy for him! Now all the members of GLAY are married!

It's reported that Takuro married a 26 year old Vivi model, Iwahori Seri. It happened last month ago on his 33rd birthday, on May 26th! Sneaky! ^_^

The rest of GLAY, Hisashi, Teru and Jiro commented saying that they are overjoyed in the marriage of Takuro who was the last GLAY member to get married.

The official fanclub magazine, HAPPY SWING, is scheduled to show a report of the marriage to the fans! (I want a copy, waaaa~)

That's it! I'm really happy for Takuro!! *throws flower petals and bounces around* Wheeeee~

Thanks a lot to my friends at livejournal for the info! ^_^

Today is a special day!!

It's TERU'S 33rd BIRTHDAY!!!!!
(Hey, that rhymes ^_^)

*celebrates* *throws confetti and bounces around*

wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!~

I hope that he would have a life full of happiness and joy!

*hops off* Byeeeee!!!!!!~

LOOKIN' FOR THE REAL ENEMIES!!!

FANTASTIC AND TOTALLY EXCELLENT! XD ^__^ *bounces* here's my review:

HighCommunications: Absolutely fantastic. Liked it when I heard it in the concert DVD, and now I love it. The drumming before the chorus...whoosh. It just oozes the "cool" feel. At least that's what I think.

The Frustrated: Wow... what's that line supposed to mean? "Lookin' for the real enemies" O_o is it an inside meaning or something? But overall this song is totally cool like HighCommunications. Love the guitars.

All I Want: I didn't really like this song at first, when I heard the concert version but now the album version has really improved my opinion on this song. ^__^

Beautiful Dreamer: Just beautiful. I'm sure everyone's heard this song. It rocks. Nuff said.

Blast: Okay, I wasn't prepared for the trumpets and jazz-like feel in the beginning. It has a 'rushed' feel then slows down to a reggae-ish beat which is THE BEST PART. In my opinion anyway. That bit is just beautiful, soulful and thoughtful moment. Then it goes on to that "yeah yeah yeah" bit we heard in the sample. Never expected Teru to do something like this, but it's refreshing.

Ano Natsu Kara Ichiban Tooi Basho: This song I underestimated so so so much. I expected it to be the typical May Fair ballad, but it's not. The melody the guitars play in the beginning is just so beautiful and with each chorus, Teru becomes more and more passionate. The bridge and verses really make the chorus shine. I wanted to cry in the car when I heard it, not because it was SAD (<-- not that I'd know) but because it sounded so DAMNED GOOD.

Mugen no Deja Vu Kara: This song is slow and acoustic, but I get the feeling Teru's trying to sound like Gackt here. ^^;; the chorus doesn't really mesh with the rest of the song but all in all it's great.

Toki no Shizuku: You know I love this song.

Billionare Champagne Miles Away: Absolutely fantastic. Rockadelic *made it up* and totally kicks ass. I'm sure most of you have heard it.

coyote, coloured darkness: I love the beat and drums here. So typical Hisashi nowadays. Think Shitto and GSFSS. I love that little verse at the beginning, I wished they'd repeated it more. But it's not a favourite for nothing. ^_^ Teru sings that little verse so sultrily.. *melts*

BUGS IN MY HEAD: It reminds me of Acid Head for some obscure reason. I love the bit where Teru sings "Black in Black Black in Black". Toshi's drumming is insane and Jiro's bass takes the limelight. //edit// it's actually Hisahsi's guitar that plays continously and takes the limelight.

Runaway Runaway: An improved version of the concert but the organs during the verses are sorely missed.

Street Life: A great ballad, which reminds many of Pure Soul. Love the part where it goes slow.

Nantou Fuu (????): Playful and really pretty song. Yuki's voice here really helps set the mood. At one point her voice actually sounds sweet, not the ear-piercing sweet but sweet sweet. //edit// in the song it appears to be pronounced as "MinamiTochi or Minamidochi". Something like that. ^^;; Such a sweet song!!!

If you do not intend buying The Frustrated, buy it now. It is worth your allowance because this is REAL music. If you are going to buy it, then good. Glay's comeback has started with a bang, and let's hope they'll stick together for a loong time. ^__^

I'll tell details of the DVD soon. Or just go to my live journal click and read it!!!

Okay, I'm a little annoyed and reading something upset me a bit more.

It's a real old issue but of course people who just discovered Glay would want to know. It's the ever famous "Teru Affair"

I admit I was hoping it wasn't true, but it is. So here's the story.
Teru got drunk and "accidentally" got this woman pregnant. IMO, (<-- in my opinion) he was being very responsible and he married her. Later, he went on to have a second child. Then he had a pretty much open affair with Ami after meeting her in some TV show. Later he divorced his wife and continued dating Ami. Then as we all (devastated) Teru fans found out, he married her in 2002.
That's the story.

Here's my rant.

So many people become disgusted with Teru that they totally disregard the band. How fair is that? How can you judge the band on Teru's actions? And affairs happen everyday. Are you going to scream and get worked up over every single one? Plus Teru's personal life has got NOTHING to do with Glay. So don't start dissing the band just because of one member!

I personally think he was being responsible. Many other guys esp. in my country are FORCED to marry, instead of doing it out of his freewill. And he could have been a bastard and just left her like that. But he didn't. Even when he didn't love her.

As for the second child; give me a break. I'm sick of hearing righteous talks. I was gullible and naive once too. Are you telling me that a married man with normal carnal desires isn't going to have sex with his wife, even if he didn't love her, even if she was desirable? Teru is a man, not a God. Think about it. Men can get turned on by anything wearing a skirt, what more being married?

As for the open affair, that was most definately wrong of him to do that but before that, we should consider other possible factors. His wife might not have loved him much either. Ever heard of Marriage of Conveniece? It was BOUND to fall apart. What's the point of clinging on to a sinking ship when you're going to hit water anyway? People who get married really young, those marriage often fall apart easier than others.

In conclusion, yes the affair was wrong. It's wrong period. But I will not forgive anyone if they say the reason they gave up on Glay is because "Teru had an affair with Ami! He's a bastard! Two-timer" HERE'S A WAKE UP CALL most men are like that. Teru's a PLAYER, get it? Live with it. He's still my favourite member. No matter what. Yes I was upset, but I realised how DUMB I was being, getting worked up over something past. Plus, it has nothing to do with me.
Teru's made a very big mistake. He got her pregnant. But look; he dated Ami for about three years before taking that step. He's being very careful now and he wants to make sure he doesn't make that same mistake again. Isn't that something good? And I'm sure he's a good father. WHy would he readily have children then?

I don't know who's wrong or who's right because everyone has their reasons, but please please don't judje GLAY on their personal lives.

Long time no see!!! ^^;; Ehehe.. anyways, a rundown on what I think of the latest Glay songs:

Runaway Runaway : A kickass guitar solo played by noneother that Hisashi. Very melodious, think You May Dream. It has that organ part feel in Sen No Naifu and the song is pretty standard (verse bridge chorus) a very sweet sounding song.

Beautiful Dreamer : So far, one of their best ever songs in this century. XD very fast paced with violins and with a very steady almost marching beat. Let's just say everyone went nuts over this song. Also, Teru sings each chorus with more and more passion. Very heart-felt song.

Street Life : Most people compare this to Pure Soul. It's got a very attractive opening and gives me the impression of a misty, dark street with bright streetlights shining down. Here Teru is uberly passionate again.

Toki no Shizuku : While not many people hold this song highly, I do. Perhaps it's because I made the mistake of listening to Siam Shade over and over until my eardrums were ready to burst. After doing so, listening to Toki no Shizuku was incredibly refreshing; get the picture? I love the way Teru sings the verses and bridge; those two parts have a wonderful "groove". The chorus is very touching as well. Although this song is seven minutes long, I listen to it again and again.

Soshite Kore Kara Mo : I believe this song deserves a special mention. The word to describe this song is very definitely "cute". All the way, you get a light-hearted feeling, relaxing and quite happy-go-lucky. I'm sure, however,there's a lot of deep meanings in this simple short song. Very nice when Teru goes "ho ho ho" and "lalalalala" at the end. Sweet!! I have not been able to listen to the Frustrated Samples, sadly. T_T. I will be getting B'z (thanks to Tash!!) and Judy and Mary and hide soon, so look out for more!!!

i'm feeling so confused... *sigh*

it's like, nobody likes me...

anyways, on a lighter note, it's shinya terachi's (Deg) birthday tomorrow. he's gonna be 26 and he's the youngest out of all the band members.

okay, ja ne.

saigo no kimi made kowashita boku wa sado?

By the way, Dir en grey is releasing a single on 19th March this year! It's called the The Final if i'm not mistaken!

Okays! Gots to go!

*glomps* Byeeeeeeeeee!!!~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HISASHI!!!!

Hey people..

Ne... shizuka yo.. so quiet.. hmm, I wonder how many people visit this blog. I assume not many. Haha..

Anyways, it's confirmed that Glay's album is The Frustrated and they are having an X-rated tour. Oops.. uh, I phrased that wrongly. They are having a GLAY X-RATED TOUR 2004. Yup. It's not X-rated, it's called X-rated.

Oohh.. I feel kinda sick. I should go offline now. But I need to keep this blog alive!!! *starts giving blog CPR* whew! This is hard work! Hmm.. I need someone who posts regularly, and about JRock! T_T. Tash isn't really into JRock and she's busy with her lj, fairy-chan rarely comes online (and she's a jrock newbie! Actually, so am I but I've been liking Glay for two years! Three in March) and Misty... I dunno about her. :P

Well, that's it!

I hate Chem!
