Ekkusu no Studio phase 4.1.
Happy 44th birthday, dearest Yoshiki ♥!!
The last time i updated my skin was on Yochan's 43rd birthday, and a year had passed. I'm glad that his surgery went fine and i hope he's recovering well. Don't neglect your therapy, Yochan, and hope to see you next year in China ^^
God bless your abundantly!!

following obachan's theme *but mine isn't about stingray food vendor* today i'm rather annoyed with certain someone from my class. surely everyone knows precisely what is the job of a class rep, which is fundamentally to make sure the class got the correct information and arrange functions/meetings that's essential for class work. those 2 are the basics, besides miscellaneous printing of notes or handouts that lecturers give. when a class rep couldn't even do the earlier basic tasks properly, it really gets on my nerves, especially since i've become a victim more than once.
first was last wednesday. class was cancelled, and i didn't know anything about it until the moment i step into the classroom and found it...empty. reason why i didn't know? announcement was made on previous thursday's class AFTER i left, andcertain someone didn't inform those who weren;t there, perhaps believing that my other friends would've told me about it. merry who left earlier than me and sniffy who didn't even come didn't know anything about it.
fine. i let that go without much fussing.
then it was today, project week day. we're supposed to buy different specified fabrics and cut them for the whole class and today we're supposed to gather to compile them all up. guess what? that certain someone didn't even inform the whole class. who told sniffy about what fabric she gotta bring? hidayah. who told sniffy when we're supposed to meet? none.
fine. so it's again the 'friends are responsible' argument, perhaps. i would have let that go without much fussing either if not because of.....
that certain someone didn't even fulfill the obligations of bringing his own fabric to school. so what, the bunch of us who came with our fabrics are supposed to be the 'weird' ones, the 'too-hardworking' ones? while they are the 'normal' ones? i'm significantly pissed by the fact that we were told to do things and yet the person who told us to do things didn't even do the thing himself. it's like, what the hell??
fine. so i refused to give them any fabric just now, even though i was there when they came and i brought my 2 fabrics along. so i was behaving childishly by going out of the school immediately before they could ask for my fabric. so i was being very immature by refusing to give them the suede that i brought in chinatown while i gave the others freely. so what?
come tuesday, i'll only bring my corduroy and suede from arab street. those who came today and who was at our little exchange-fabric meeting received the chinatown suede, which i won't be charging to the class fund because it was kinda defect. they can use it as a sample or comparison to the better-quality suede from arab st. too bad for the rest who didn't even come.
so i'm in a very mean mood today. so what? v.v
anyway~~~~ my tagboard is gone, too long not used, perhaps... i don't feel like reinstalling it back v,v oh i'll look into it, perhaps.. meanwhile, since i didn't enable the 'comment' function either, any comments please direct it to http://natael.blogspot.com tagboard xDDDDDD *numpang tagboard, baachan! xDDD*
oh by the way THIS IS MY 100TH POST!!!!!!!!!!! BANZAIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =DDDDDDDDDD this account had been there all along, even while i was still at blogdrive. but i've just started using it last year, starting with ekkusu no studio phase 1. this is the 2nd year, so any new layout that i'll be making this year will be under phase 2.
and i'm just thinking of making a new layout~ lets see~
11:57 pm
alright, so i've become a couch potato in front of computer these days, always here in front of the computer but yet never blogged, never checked the forums, never did anything, and i don't know why, i just lost every motivation to do anything at all
and so come the one person who can ALWAYS make me blog, no natter what time is it (my bro's gonna sleep in 2 minutes and i gotta finish everything by then) and he just blogged~!!!!!!!!!!! dear yoshki just blogged 3 days ago, and he talked about things that made me gasped and wowed and whatever
okay lets's talk about the main things: diru, shinya, sugizo, gackt and toshi.
what about them?
they're among my most favourite artists in the jrock industry.
yeah right, haha, like i will talk about THAT now!
yochan just blogged about THEM!!!!!!!!! my hadn is trembling now (in my attempt to write decently as fast as possible) and my train of thoughts are like so messy 9yochan's blogs always tend to have that kind of effect on me)
f
sirst thing first: diru went to yochan's house sometime ago before their concert. in fact the night before the performance they were drinking away at yochan's house! and celebrated dear shinya's birthday NYAAAAAAAHHHH *pinches shinya's cheek*
then, sugizo also met yochan i thin o.O i didn't really remember the blog's content, goodness me, and i just read it a minute ago1!!
and gackt went to yochan's place too!!! wow!~~~ yochan got a lot of visitors despite him living in LA huh? XDDDDDDDDD gackt went to have dinner with yochan at yochan's house, and then afterwards yochan asked him to go out and eat AGAIN, and they ate japanese food..........in LA........... it's like weird???!?!! but, well, there they are, my fave musicians, both a bit weird xD but nevertheless totally adorable! i can't wait for them to make music together!
yochan talked about how painful it was to record Without You, what with tears kept falling down his face and wetting the jeyboards, making the tuts slippery, i know it yochan, i CAN HEAR YOUR CRYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i've blogged about this before, and i've even shared this in the forum, but you really can hear yochan's crying if you listen REAL LOUD and REAL HARD at Without You!!
anyway, the talk brought another topic: TOSHI!!! guess what........................ they';ve talked@!!!!! yochan and toshi-kun had finally talked again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when i read that i was like *gasped* and re traced the sentence again and re-read it a few times and i was like 'thank goodness' and i'm feeling very happy, very very happy indeed....... i can have real sweet dreams later on =) it's one of the best news i've read in a long while about yochan, i'm very happy indeed!!!!!
and, he sounded unlike usual, yochan, in the new blog, he soudned...... confused... i don't knwow hat ha[[ened, but surely something had hhapppened and something is troubling him, expecially about toshi, but i do hope it's not something saddening or painful....... he didn't talk much about it, but i really do hope that he's alright....
oh well..
uyou know...
read yochan's blog yourself!!!!!!!!!!!

Yami to boshi to hon no tabitito. i got this anime in my harddisk for as long as i remember and i think i knew where it came from. i watched the 1st episode long time ago, without knowing what is it about, without having heard anything about it from anyone ever. so you can say that i'm completely clueless to the story, popularity, or even genre of the anime, and i still clicked it open and read it, all in full faith of the person who put it in my harddisk. Labels: manga anime
first episode, was filled with aniticipation of a story which lasted until the end of the episode (read: no story at all!). all i watched were a lot of weird characters wandering about in a strange plot of a train filled with spies and a time bomb. although some of the characters, 2 of which i thought are the female leads, were downright cool and good-looking, i considered the 1st episode to be weird and it doesn't worth my time to watch the 2nd episode.
just now, i was trying to clean up my harddisk in order to make space for some other projects i'm getting, and so i gave it another shot and watch the 2nd episode. after all, the art is good and if there is a good story behind it, i'll be much happier than when i watch Onegai Twins. this time, apart from a continuation fo the strange plot with weird characters, there were also hentai scenes which doesn't serve any specific purpose to the development of the story, and STILL no specific base story i could follow.
it's weird. 2 episodes of anime means about 40 minutes of full story time, in which most other anime would already established their main characters, main problems and the direction at which it will be going. not so for yami to boshi to hon no tabitito.
i'm feeling generous though, not to mention too much time in my hands (it's the start of term break and i don't feel like starting to do my projects yet) so i watched the 3rd episode. i get the base story, more or less, but the story doesn't progress at all. instead it jumped to another completely different story.
so basically for all 3episodes, all i get was a a fushigi-yuugi-kind of story in which people go into books and relive the story in the book, but this time there are a library full of books which they can choose, enter and go as they wish, a couple of good-looking characters which seems to have nothing to do except looking for a missing girl, a weird animal like cardcaptor sakura's little tiger which is not cute at all, and a lot of pointless breast-abuse-related scenes.
THEN, wanting to know if i should save the series or just dump them striaght into my trash bin, i searched for its reviews. man, who the hell put the anime in my harddisk? i'm not a hentai-watcher!! >.<

i was watching ouran's 22nd episode while eating pastry, those crispy and flaky ones that produces loads of crumbs. and man have i had a hard time trying not to splatter those crumbs around. the hilarity of ouran really intensify after some time not reading/watching it, so i was honestly giggling and laughing throughout the whole episode. they're like so freakin cute and funny! and this is the episode in which tamaki explains the logic behind mori senpai + hani senpai pairings, which is one of the MOST hilarious chapter i've read throughout ouran. even in the manga i was already laughing out loud, coz tamaki's explanation does, not only, make sense, but it explains the whole thing, crystal clear! wonder how hatori-san manage to create her character like that, or able to come up with such explanation, she's a genius! Labels: manga anime
anyway, i'm flying off to jakarta in about 3 hours' time, and now i'm still trying to contact my brother (he isn't picking up his bloody phone!) and trying to get to the airport as soon as possible. will be going back with merry, hopefully we'll get some shopping done before cny yea mer? ^^ ah yea, i'm not sure if the internet connection in jakarta is good or still snail-like as usual, but probably i won't be updating until i'm back in sg.
wishing everyone an early chinese new year and belated valentine's day!!

with tiredness.
now i have the record. without my weekend 2 sessions of 10-hour-sleep, the most i can last is one week and a half before i've completely worn down and used up all my spare energy. in fact these past few days had been going in the direction that i'd not wanted, like chores that were not finished, or not even attempted due to my tiredness, or waking up really really late in the morning without realising it (i've set my alarm clock, mind you, i just didn't realise i had turned them off and went back to sleep) that caused me to be refused into the classroom yesterday and me having to take taxi to school today. i'm down, and now i'm need to recharge my power. like it or not, i'm so gonna have to take at least ONE session of 10-hour sleep.
oh sbass is here. yesterday he smsed just one word: "hana..." and i tought, "oh hellow bass, how're you??" without noticing that the number that he was using was his sg number. then came another hint: "i'm feeling very hot here in sg" and i thought, "eh?" but when i read that i was celebrating my sis's bday, so that didn't really registered in my mind. so the reply came about 12 hours later, in the form of: "O.O where are you now?????"
sheesh, see, i've become so super slow... i so need that sleep!!

the following is quoted off jkrowling.com, dated 6th february 2007
Charles Dickens put it better than i ever could:
'It would concern the reader little, perhaps, to know how sorrowfully the pen is laid down at the close of a two-years' imaginative task, or how an author feels as if he were dismissing some portion of himself into the shadowy world, when a crowd of the creatures of his brain are going from him for ever.'
To which i can only sigh, try seventeen years, Charles...
i always knew that Harry's story would end with the seventh book, but saying goodbye has been just as hard as i always knew it would be. even while i'm mourning, though, i feel an incredible sense ofachievement. i can hardly believe that i've finally written the ending i've been planning for so many years. i've never felt such a mixture of extreme emotions in my life, never dreamed i could feel simultaneously heartbroken and euphoric.
some of you have expressed a (much more muted!) micture of happiness and sadness at the prospect of the last book being published, and that has meant more than i can tell you. if it comes as any consolation, i think that there will be plentu to continue arguing and speculating about, even after 'Deathly Hallows'comes out. so if you're not yet ready to quit the message boards, do not despair...
I'm almosy scared to admit this, but on thing has stopped me collapsing in a piddle of misery on the floor. while each of the previous potter books has string claims in my affections, 'Deathly Hallows' is my favourite, and that is the most wonderful way to finish the series.
and here i thought i'm the only one weird person who feels sad everytime a great story or series is ending and dread reading the ending while at the same time can't wait to know what's the ending like. i know the feeling exactly. one one hand i'm really really eager for another book of adventure and fantasy, one that can make me sit down and be fully engrossed with the book for days at a time (whenever i re-read the harry potter series, i always start from book 1 or 3 and continue on til book 5). on another hand, it will be the LAST book!! i mean, oh goodness, rowling, there are so many questions to be answered i'm sure the last book won't be enough to cover them all!! and what's that about 'plenty to continue arguing and speculating about even after deathly hallows'?? so she's not planning to answer all those questions after all!!! *wails*
oh anyway... i'll be so so sorry when i'm reading the 7th book, and perhaps i'll dawdle and dragged the book around when i'm reaching the end chapters. the end chapters are always the very hardest to open and to start reading...

Amazon.com Inc. said on Friday first-day advance orders for "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the seventh and last installment of J.K. Rowling's successful book series, were 547 percent higher than for its predecessor, reports Reuters.
Thursday's pre-orders for "Deathly Hallows" exceeded the first two weeks of pre-orders for its predecessor, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," Seattle-based Amazon said. "Half-Blood Prince," released in July 2005, generated more than 1.5 million pre-orders on Amazon, the online retailer said.

LONDON: Book retailer Waterstone’s is hoping to set up a helpline for distressed fans of the popular Harry Potter series because two characters will be killed off in the final instalment, The Daily Telegraph reported yesterday.
"This could be a similar moment to when (pop band) Take That split up — there could be a lot of upset teenagers out there," said Debbie Williams, a buyer for the book chain.
"We are looking to set up a helpline for them."
Waterstone’s predicts that half a million copies will fly off the shelves when the seventh and final edition of author J.K. Rowling’s hugely successful Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, becomes available on July 21.
Rowling has said she is poised to kill off two characters in the final instalment and many fans fear that Harry, in his last year at Hogwarts school, will be one of them.
The Harry Potter books have sold 325 million copies worldwide and have been translated into 64 languages, as well as being converted into a successful film franchise starring Daniel Radcliffe.
The books have made Rowling an estimated US$1 billion (RM3.5 billion).
The fifth movie in the series is due for release about one week before the final book is released.
The previous book, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, broke UK records by shifting 2,009,574 copies on its first day of release. It’s been 10 years since Rowling published the first book, Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone.
Online retailer amazon.co.uk started taking pre-orders for Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows on Dec 22.
Head of books Christopher North said: "At one point, the orders were more than five times higher than those for the rest of the Top 20 selling books combined.
"Now that the publication date has been announced, we expect another surge of pre-orders. July 21 will be Harry Potter Day.
"It may be a long time before we see another book that commands as much anticipation, attention and demand as this final book." — AFP

WARNING!!! THOSE THAT HAVEN'T READ THE 6TH BOOK AND WOULDN'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IN THE 6TH BOOK, DO NOT READ the following!!!
so, the book that has topped the bestseller list only a few hours after announcement of its release, dated 6 months in advance, the book that will end more than 10 years of adventure filled with happiness, sadness and danger in the magic world, the book upon which the word 'phenomenon' is not even enough to use to describe its impact on the world, is finally gonna be released.
who will die? is Snape friend or foe? how happy will the happy-ending end, that Rowling was saying, be? will Dumbledore make another appearance? what's the fate of Fawkes now that Dumbledore had died? will Harry really leave school and start hunting Voldemort together with Ron and Hermione? what will be the state of the muggle world now that Dumbledore died and Voldemort has nobody else whom he fear of? is R.A.B. really Sirius's brother, Regulus? is Harry's power enough to tackle all the horcruxes and destroy them all when Dumbledore lost one of his arm battling one of them? will Harry or Ron or Hermione receive a permanent damage or injury? will anyone else be receive anymore permanent injury like Bill's werewolf scars? how will Harry find the rest of the horcruxes? how will Harry survive without someone upon whom he can depend to? was the lesson about Voldemort that Dumbledore gave Harry be enough for Harry to survive? what will the fate of Draco Malfoy be? is he gonna be a friend or foe? if Harry takes Hon and Hermione with him in his pursuit to find Voldemort, will Ginny insist to be taken along? will she be taken along due to her stubborness? will Neville and Luna be taken along too? how will they take part or be useful in the events in the 7th book? will the band that stormed the ministry of magic inbook 5 be reformed to track down voldemort? how will Ministry of Magic react to the death of Dumbledore, the death of someone so important and powerful that his death is like losing one of the very few pillars that support the peaceful regime of the magical world? will Lupin be supportive of Harry's decision of confronting danger (which i believe is quite certain)? will Lupin teach him more defense against the dark arts skills? will Lupin tell Harry more about his dad, or Sirius, or offer to be harry's god-father? what's the state of Peter Pettigrew in now? how will Pettigrew 'repays the kindness' that Harry bestowed upon him by preventing Sirius and Lupin from killing him (since Dumbledore said when a wizard saves another, it creates a bodn between them, one that Harry "will not regret of doing")? who is really Voldemort's right hand man? Snape! what about Snape?!??! what's the secret behind his past? why Dumbledore so willing to let him into the order while it is evident that he resents Harry and his dad? "don't call me coward!!!" why did he said so with face full of pain? what truly is the secret behind this half-blood prince? will he come back to school? will he make contact with Harry or any members of the Order? after all he was a member of the Order, so he could enter Sirius's house, will he though? what's the way of communicating between members of the Orders that Harry didn't know? was it really using their Patronus? can Patronus talk or bear messages? how fast can a Patronus travel, in fact how do they travel at all? how to put message, extract message, or intercept messages sent by Patronus? how will the state of the school be now that Dumbledore is gone? how will Minnerva McGonnagal tackle the desperate situation the school is in? will anyone be still schooling? will the parents of the students, already afraid of their children's safety even when Dumbledore was still alive, let their children stay longer in school? how will the rest of the magical world cope with the situation now that 'the only one whom Voldemort fears' is dead? will delegates from Beauxbatons or Durmstrang be paying another visit to Hogwarts? is there anymore secret hidden inside the castle? does the Chamber of Secrets hide some other secrets? will Harry make use of his Parselmouth ability to his advantage? will he master the Parseltongue? will the relationship between Hagrid and the centaurs improve now that Dumbledore is gone and the world is turned to chaos, or will the centaurs roam free and mighty now that there's no more Dumbledore to, perhaps, keep them in check? how will Mr and Mrs Dursley and Dudley behave towards Harry on his very last holiday in Privet Drive? where will Harry make his home after leaving Privet Drive? will he pay a visit to Number 12 Grimmauld Place? will he live there? how will he react the next time Sirius's mom start howling and screaming and yelling? will Sirius's mom's potrait be useful in any way? will Harry find other useful information from the family tree, from the cupboard or anything else inside No 12 Grimmauld Place? will Winky be still drunk everyday? will Dobby still stay at hogwarts if Harry is no longer there? will the house elves be a good help to harry or no help at all? Fred and Feorge, how will they be helpful? what other new stuff will they come up with? will Harry properly master apparating and disapparating? will the Ministry of Magic be holding Harry to his previous 'crimes' like apparating and disapparating before he owns a license, or for using one of the forbidden curses, the Cruciatus Curse against Bellatrix once? will there be new characters appear? will the Order of the Phoenix be still working? will Molly still be overprotective os her kids and Harry and Hermione? now that they will all come-of-age and able to enter the Order, how does the Order give out missions? how do they come up with secret information? what exactly do they do? who will be the new leader of the Order? is the Order strong enough to tackle Voldemort and his band of Death Eaters? will there be more people entering the Order? what is 'the deathly hallows'? is that the place where a very important horcrux reside upon? how will Fleur and Bill's relationship grow? where and when and how will they get married? will Ron and Hermione's relationship blossom? argh scrap that, that's one question that i'm not interested in knowing the answer T_T both of them bored me to death in the 6th book. unfortunately Harry didn't help much by being equally obsessed with Ginny.
did i hit a hundred questions? surprising how much details i can remember about the questions i wanna ask after reading the 6th book. surprising how many questions i can come up with within 20 minutes of spontaneous typing o.O but of course, the questions are random, not in order of topic or even person, they just come up naturally to my head and i type them out.
some of the questions i've discussed before in my blog, like 'snape, friend or foe?' or 'is R.A.B. really sirius's brother?' and i still stand by my opinion. i'm still at the league who believes that snape is friend, not foe. and i'm afraid that he'll be one of the person whom rowling will kill in the 7th book... i mean, he'd killed dumbledore, how else will he atone for his sin?? but i don't wanna see snape die!!! he's one of my favourite character, though his killing dumbledore makes me feel bloody sorry, i'm in dilemma!! what is the story behind snape??? who is he?? he's one character who is still shrouded in mystery, it's intriguing! unlike other character who are mysterious but i don't wanna know more about, snape's history is very closely linked to the story of harry and his parents, that's why i wanna know very much more about him.
WHO IS SEVERUS SNAPE?
that is one question which i will fully explore and analyse once i'm done reading the deathly hallows.
meanwhile... it's 165 days before the release of final installment of harry potter, HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS!

*siigh* this is really not a time to start getting into anime again, especially one that's been known to have addictive effect on me, but i just can't help it. my sis got some episodes in the harddrive and yesterday, after rebooting my computer due to the error on the audio mixer and reinstalling everything back, i opened one episode to test-try whether the whole sysem is fixed or not. i don't know how i could say that the manga is still better than the anime last time, but now i think that both are as good. somehow i begin to see why joyce, who's more anime-girl than manga-girl, can fall for the idiotic tamaki-dono. in the manga he doesn't look at all that impressive nor good-looking, bet it's because it's black and white. in the anime though, tamaki is positively gorgeous. his striking blue eyes can catch your eyes easily that you'll never know when you start liking him, but you will (those who watch the anime first before watching the manga will be much more prone to this 'attack') Labels: manga anime
i like the episodes regarding the hitachiin brothers. their hair in middle school is horrendous, but they're very cool in high school, even when they started wearing hair clips like haruhi does sometimes xD
but my most beloved is still kyoya the dark lord ^^ bought one handphone chain with kyoya's face on it some days ago, hee ^^
i don't know why i'm blogging about this, maybe because i'm just too bored and yet there aren't enough time to start getting bored, my workload is still piling up ever so high... time to hit the sewing machine *groans*...

Thursday 1 February 2007
on that day, i WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE, nor will the DAY BEFORE or the DAY AFTER!
reason?
THE LAST BOOK OF HARRY POTTER CALLED "HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS" WILL BE OUT ON SATURDAY, 21ST JULY 2007 00.01 BST IN THE UK AND USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can you imagine how excited i am?!?!??!! hint: look at the size and colour of the above announcement. i'm SUPER EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh man.... on one hand i can't wait to read the book, on the other hand i can't BEAR to read the end of harry potter!! such fabulous books and story, WHY MUST IT COME TO AN END, JOANNE KATHLEEN ROWLING????!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??? *SOBS!!!!!!!*
damn, what a great news to end the busy week, i'm happy ^_^ i hope she'll release more such books, rowling =)
there would be many things happening in the middle of the year, like release of Pirates of the Carribbean the third movie, SpiderMan 3, the release of this book, and i'm currently awaiting Yoshiki's announcement of the day of release of Violet UK debut album, which i strongly and utterly believe will be out THIS YEAR, somewhere near September 22nd. and, the middle of the year will be the time when i'm moving school building too. the new campus will be located even nearer to town, which means that if they aren't hiring more canteen vendors, i can have no problems of getting nice-r menus for lunch from the foodcourts in town.
it's just started, the new year, but seems like it won't be a boring year at all =D

featuring: Yoshiki
about: Yochan underwent a surgery to correct his spine, a problem that had persisted since 1995, when he finally started to feel numbness in his fingers. the surgery went fine, thank goodness. hopefully he will recover completely and it doesn't affect his piano playing. as for drums...don't forget your neck braces everytime you drums, yochan!
etc: read below xD i've made too many layouts featuring Yoshiki i don't wish to repeat myself =P
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/?action=view¤t=ekkusu3.jpg
Featuring: Versailles
Background: formed in 2007 by founding member Kamijo (ex Lareine) and Hizaki (ex Sulfuric Acid), they released their debut single Revenant Choir which tells a story about a clan.
Just as like Kamijo's past works, Versailles tells a story through their symphonic metal music and extravagantly elaborate costumes inspired from antique European era.
Members: Kamijo (vocals), Hizaki (guitar), Teru (guitar), Jasmine-You (bass), Yuki (drums)
etc: Versailles beautiful music managed to win my heart totally. saddened by the loss of Jasmine-YOU in 2009, but i hope the 4 of them will still make great music from now onwards. rest in peace, Jasmine-YOU, and watch out for the guys from up there...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/arsenal_x/ekkusu2.1copy.jpg
featuring: S.K.I.N.
Background: Formed in 2007, performed first during Anime Expo at the States in May.
Members: Yoshiki (drums, piano, guitar), Gackt (vocal, piano), Sugizo (guitar, violin), Miyavi (guitar, shamisen)
etc: ekkusu phase 2.0 was lost because i didn't save it in photobucket (because it refused to upload it properly).
and so, from now i'll start my skin from phase .1 instead of .0
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/ekkusunostudio1-3.jpg
Featuring: Hiruma Youichi
Model's background: manga character (Eyeshield 21)
More about the model: quarterback of Deimon Devilbats, The Commander From Hell;
the backbone and the brain behind Deimon High School's American Football Club, The Deimon Devilbats.
Icons: various facial expressions of Hiruma, the maniacal, elven-faced leader of Devilbats ^^
Etc: Eyeshield 21 is a sports manga about American Football and it's one of my current favourite.
My rating for them is:
hilarity 10/10
excitement: 9/10
intellectual level: 9/10
drawing: 7/10
characterisation: 9/10

Featuring: Hayashi Yoshiki
Model's background: leader, drummer, pianist, main composer of legendary band X Japan (1982-1997); leader, drummer, pianist,
guitarist, composer of band Violet UK, debut coming soon. Born in Tateyama, Chiba (Japan) in 20th November 1965 and currently living in Los Angeles, California (USA).

More about the model: the faint background picture of Yoshiki was taken in the recent years when he's already cut his hair short and
started the habit of wearing sunglasses.
Icons: pictures taken from Yoshiki's house in LA: his front door, piano in the middle room, dining room and swimming pool.
Etc: I can write essays on Yoshiki, but let's just keep it simple and straightforward: YOSHIKI IS MY HERO AND IDOL!
