~~> IMPORTANT NOTE!!!

EDIT OF FEB 2010 :

THIS BLOG IS SO DAMN SPAMMED BY STUPID ADS/COMMENTS SINCE A LITTLE WHILE THAT I'M CONSIDERING ABANDONNING IT. �Really, i have no f***ing clue why this is happening, but we can definitely say that this stupid server is everything but protected. Ever since these three ads appeared on the blogs last year anyway, it only got worst as day passed by.

EXAMPLES :�

--> I can't log in to this blog�using Firefox. it NEVER worked.�and i'm a daily firefox user so that's a PROBLEM.

--> Then, it perpetually freezes when typing posts and is hella annoying�for editing stuff and all (i'm not even sure this edit will be POSTED PROPERLY T_T).

--> the general system of the blog sucks anyway.

I'm LEAVING this blog ALONE from today, the 18th of February 2008. I'll let it get spammed forever. *sigh* I might start a new blog elsewhere, on a GOOD server/and a well known community so that i can avoid�so much spam.�

For those who wanna follow me, there's my DA anyway, and Myspace too.

Bye bye little Kokonut blog.

I liked you, and they're forcing me to leave you T__T *sigh again*

Morning Musume - Kimagure Princess

2009-10-20T00:45:46Z

So... What to think of this new single, huh ? I must admit i'm partially liking and partially... What to say... Surprised ? Well, it's hard to describe. The song is good, but the PV just doesn't match. I don't grasp the mix with the oriental/hindi way of singing, the cowboy�hats and big, loose, white outfits, the russian insipred dance moves; all of that on a very ORANGE set. I just don't understand !

And it sincerely looks a bit cheap... It all looks a bit rushed to me actually. While it could have been really good ! that's why i'm disappointed i guess, cause it's like "yeah, it's cool", but nothing more for my part. I'd rather listen to the song alone actually. I mean, i know these girls since a long while now and i wouldn't have been able to tell it was risa singing when she was (i mean out of the "normally" sung parts) cause they have such high pitched voice in this song ! Only Eri's voice stays somehow recognizable, Maybe Reina's as well but as for the others...

Ah, and yeah, Koharu leaves MM in December. Don't ask me what i think, you all know i don't like Koharu. (Sorry baby XD)

Anyway, a little rate to end this ? ... Well, Kimagure Princess gets a 6/10.

KAT-TUN Love ♥

2009-09-03T00:53:26Z

Just because I love this guy, here�s a Tat-chan gif.

OMG CUTENESS ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ I can�t believe I�m going �OMG ♥KAWAIIIIII~� at fucking 20 years old�XD Damn, I�m not 14 anymore, why does this feeling come back when I see Tatsuya ? XD I just can�t help it, he�s so cute. ;__; And Damn, he�s 5 years older than me. T_T Lol

AND THEN� Here comes �Scaredy Cat� Nakamaru, just because it�s worth seeing this once if your life if you haven�t, then definitely worth seeing it for the hundredth time again if you already did. XD

About Momusu�s new look(s)�

2009-09-02T23:49:05Z

It�s definitely not just a new thing made for �Nanchatte Renai�, it seems that the girls definitely adopted a more mature look and way of being recently. Which is VERY logical when you consider things around a bit� I mean, they�re now the oldest members of the H!P (How crazy is that really ? -_-; And yeah, for info, still not getting over the massive firing of last year� T_T), they have to have some kind of a more� �Adult� image I guess. Which I absolutely do not complain about, you actually can�t imagine how happy I was when I first saw the PV for �Nanchatte Renai�, I was like �FINALLY !! it has HAPPENED !! AN OUTFIT I WOULDN�T FEEL STUPID WEARING !!!� XD

Well, I�m exaggerating I know, I in fact secretly fancied loads of outfits in the H!P that definitely don�t look that normal but that�s NOT the topic here. (lol) Anyway, I was just saying that for once, everything was perfect in terms of photography in the video, nothing looked out of place and well� This is just good. About the song itself, I don�t have much of anything to say about it, I just like it a lot, it sounds really good, yet, there�s just a little something missing to make it a real good single. I can�t put my finger on it, but a little something�s missing yeah� Although, nothing too important as I actually bought a first press single of �Nanchatte Renai� XD (sharing the HQ scans a bit later, maybe just on Myspace btw, don�t know yet)

To talk about the girls becoming more mature again, I was wondering if a part of the fanbase wouldn�t leave because of this if this becomes too serious. Of course, I can�t plan what Tsunku actually plans for his girls (<-- doesn�t this sound terribly wrong ? XD) but I�m pretty sure it�ll all keep on more or less like that, the pessimistic side of the lyrics aside (or maybe�? lol). BUT, it�s undeniable, if Morning Musume lose their little childish sparkle, it�ll all fall apart so� Let�s just wait and see, as I always say~ :3

The stupid remark of the day, September the 2nd, 2009

2009-09-02T23:47:53Z

(is there two flies on Shinya's glass or am i going crazy ?? O_o XD

And why the Hell does Kenzi wear an Uroboros Shirt ? -_-;)

Just saying� What�s with Shinya hanging out with weird people like Kenzi and K�zi ?? XD I mean, wow, -K�ZI- ! That weirdo from Malice Mizer, Eve of Destiny, whatever� (XD the funny thing is that I actually REALLY love that guy lol) Looks like Shinya becomes more and more� Natural somehow. XD

That�s all for my useless rambling about poor little Shinya that can party all he wants with weirdoes after all. Lol

What the HELL T_T

2009-08-31T23:35:34Z

Yesterday night, i had like... So MANY problems updating this blog, i couldn't post anything new and that's why it visibly stupidly ended up with an empty post with a single Kazuya pic in it with the title "1582"... As you can guess it was going tobe an article about Kame's solo, but now, i'm so upset with this blog i'll leave it to that for today. A kame pic, and GO F*CK OFF you stupid blog. T_T (yeah, i'm angry.)

Anyway, i barely have time to eat before i leave the house again... I didn't sleep well, my right leg is killing me... It could be a better day. *sigh*

About comics and illustrations �

2009-05-24T04:04:16Z

I say that all the time, but it�s been a LONG while I didn�t post anything here. I had lots of things to say actually, so I thought that�d be too long to actually say and so I ended up doing nothing for this blog since April XD Anyway anyway; as I said on my other blogs already today right now I�ll be talking about drawings a bit. �First of all, I got my Fanarts published on Tsukiyo (Dir en grey fansite), check the page here ! �http://www.tsukiyo.hu/index_en.php?page=en/extra/fanart :)

About the lil Diru comics I�ve been uploading these past months; well, i haven�t been working on new ones at all recently and I don�t really know when I�ll do it again honestly. I have tons of new and old projects I�m working on at the same time and it�s actually chaotic enough already for me not to have to think of what the next Diru comic would be about ! lol Even though I DO want and plan to do new ones. I just don�t know when ! >_<

This is also because, also, I�ve been working a whole lot on re-building old stories and comics I created when I was younger, ideas I found interesting and such. See my windows live blog for more explanations if you�re actually interested in what I do (lol) here :��http://semichanandcomics.spaces.live.com/

There�s all my Diru comics uploaded there and in original size, plus my Diru fanarts, other fanarts as well� And I�ll probably be uploading any new drawing I make from now on there I guess. Talking of new drawings, I decided drawing Anime charas I love/loved lately, as if they were my charas. So far three are made and one is colored only, here it is :

Let me know what you think of this here or on my Myspace, my windows live thingy, whatever� lol Anyway That�s all for this post, it�s getting late and I wanna sleep !

Bai-Bai for today~

Dir en grey in France at the Bataclan on the 11th of June !

2009-04-11T13:53:26Z

�

*Uncrosses fingers�.* The most horrible news of my week on one side cause I FUCKING CAN'T GO ! >_< On the other, I'm gonna say something pretty weird and unexpected by I also don't wanna go. And for several reasons. First being Killswitch Engage ! Whoop-dee-do, a coupling concert ! Or better, Dir en grey as a support act ! T_T You're KIDDING ME aren't you ?! And well, I can't go because with my best friends, we were planning on going to see D'espairsRay in July already, cause we sincerely though there was NO chance for any concert date from the guys this summer. And somehow this was a partly true thought. See, they're not headlining. And not that I wanna bitch around (and like it), but yeah, I kinda don't like this idea. So, it's settled, I won't go. And 11^th of June, it let's me less than half and a month to organize things and since I live like 600km away from Paris, don't really wanna pay a ridiculous amount of money to go there for half a concert (see, the tickets are JUST 30�� That's a really bad sign, I'm pretty sure the concert's gonna be a huge fail, if you had the fact KSE fans would be there too and that there's like 90% of chances we don't get along with them since us, Diru fans, already don't get along with other Diru fans.) And yeah, talking of fails, I know the Zenith was somewhat a fail (because kinda empty compared to the capacity of the hall�) But now I see that they come back with a completely unexpected band associations, for almost half the price of what their precedent tickets were, and in a small venue�. I star to think Dir en grey + France isn't a real Love story. I mean, organisation suck hard, and on both sides.

SO�.. Conclusion of this, it breaks my heart (*sob*), but I'm not going. And well, I'll go see D'espairsRay instead. Cause yeah, I never saw them first, and they're coming ALONE, warned us several months before coming and they're even gonna make a small M&G thing then. So YAY for DR, and BOO for Diru organizators. It sucks, but I'll have to wait some more to see Diru again. Hoping they don't disband in between :/ (GAH!!! What was that thought ?? ;__;)

Dir en grey releases a new DVD... I mean, Already ?

2009-02-28T02:38:04Z

......Either i'm ironic, either i'm not. pick the one you prefer.

Ahem, anyway, this is gonna be a short, non-illustrated post cause it's absolutely late and that i definitely need to get some rest and relax. SO ! that "The rose trims again" DVD. i'm gonna bitch around for a bit CAUSE it's WAY too EXPENSIVE and WHY the HELL are american ALWAYS privileged ? -__- I mean damn, they got their damn tour a few month ago and now they get a DVD, and here in Europe we still don't know if they're ever gonna come back, WHILE they said "We're preparing our next US tour again"... Why yes, i'm jealous. I have the right to.

70� for the 3cd edition, 50� for the BASIC ONE. They gotta be kidding me. I thought there was like, an international economy disaster lately ? I thought so at least. Dir en grey forgot it, visibly.

So... Yes, this time i'm definitely not gonna buy this dvd. Unless i find it a VERY reasonnable price, which isn't going to happen, ever SO i can say i won't have it in my collection. Sorry, as much as i love this band, 50� for just ONE DVD, for a tour that was, moreover, everywhere but in europe, no thanks. Matter of fact, i barely took a look at the setlist. Just felt like a complete idiot thinking Dir en grey think we're all gonna put 70� in this dvd.

*sigh* Still, please, come back to Europe. lol

PrettyxCharmingxDancers - New blog !

2009-02-25T17:34:02Z

It's time for some lil auto-promo now ! I've just recently created a new blog, called "Pretty Charming Dancers", about my favorite neo-burlesque girl group, The Pussycat Dolls.

So, yeah, nothing to do with J-music nor the kind of stuff I tend to like usually like metal and rock; but well. I just love this group !

Why creating a blog about them ? Well, I'm not a hardcore PCD fan so it won't be anything like any fansite that are giving news, updates and all about the girls; I'm just commenting, talking, sharing pics, lyrics, videos. I created this blog mostly because I started subbing their videos a while ago and already share them on Emule, but I plan on uploading them for that blog and share them for direct downloads and such. More precisions on the blog itself ! :P

So here are some lil banners and stuff if someone ever feel like promoting this lil blog :)

Bigger banners :

"Visit the blog" banners :

�

Bigger/various :

Also, I added a Kimberly banner on this blog too ;)

That said, I'll go write another post on Myspace now XD

Bye bye for now~

Dir en grey in Europe/France next summer ?

2009-02-25T16:06:26Z

*crosses fingers* �I hope so at least. They're coming to Europe for a festival, that's for sure, if I'm right in Sweden (I read it a thousand times and I'm not even sure anymore, really�*sigh*) I so would like to see them again� so, I guess I just have to wait and see. And pray. XD

(Why yes, that IS a useless post.)

Oh, wait, better :

OR :

(i'm moking my own self, srsly XD)

Well...

2009-02-09T16:18:05Z

�

It's been a LONG while i haven't been doing anything in this blog and well..; Just wanted to say that i missed the PCD yesterday in Paris (;____;) that my camera died, and that it made me laugh to see i actually rated Red Soil better than Vinuska in my frist review of uroboros XD But, i wanted a somewhat honest review of it and my first impression of vinushka wasn't that good, and now it's just my fav along with Toguro. *sigh* That's all for this little useless post. I need to work on my new diru comics so much and that's what i'll go do right now !

Dir en grey scans - Toshiya for Bass Magazine

2009-01-14T16:19:28Z

:D *happy I got it* XD Well, being the Toshiya fan I am, I NEEDED to get my hands on this thing XD And I did, yay~ !! (XD) Was pretty expensive for a Magazine but way cheaper than all the ones I found in November that sold out fast actually XD So I had mine for at least half of the original price (thanks to Gabrielle ^^). :)

So� These scans have been a PAIN to host since they were all bigger than 3MB (one was actually 6.19MB, even in jpeg format XD) and that I definitely didn't wanna pay for an account on a random host site� So, sadly, yeah, I got to resize them a bit, and most of all, lessen the quality like� around 60% ;__; They're still huge� scans though, but not the quality I'd like them to be :( (especially the second page ;___;)

Huge is the right word I think, yeah XD you'll probably think it's too big for a scan and that it's totally useless, but I just love huge scans/pics and if you want them smaller resize them yourself XD

I just scanned the photos so far. I don't think I'll scan the other pages since people did it already, and also translated the interview so they don't need bigger scans. I tried having the small blue pic as big as possible cause I wasn't satisfied with the scan I found so I thought I shouldn't be the only one XD ah, and I scanned the cover a second time, just centred on Totchi's face though. So it's even bigger than the first XD Weirdly my scanner decided changing the colours quite much between these two scans so it looks a bit� odd in the end O_o

But enjoy anyway ! :D
