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!!
(o^___^o)
love,
ekkusu

we're coming into the last week of 2008. and i still haven't managed to pick up my pencils and do something. but, well, my CPJ is making a progress, though. geographically, that is =P 2 days ago it was still packed inside my luggage. yesterday i took it upstairs. and today i put it on the table in my dad's room. i'm planning to start doing something soon. but seeing that my computer is just beside this particular table...hmmm, i'll need a lot of will and self-discipline to do that something =p

yay for cancelling to go to school today and started my pi-drama-thon instead xD i don't know whether to say this in a proud tone or ashamed one, but, well, i finished the whole entire series today. the whole 10 episodes of it. (i watched the first episode yesterday i think) so i've been sitting in front of my comp for about, err, roughly 10 hours? one episode doesn't reach 1 hour, but i also stop in the middle now and then to type in my comment (or just to fangirl by writing long "kyaaaaaa") in notepad. i won't CAD (copy-and-paste) from there coz it's too messy (and too embarrassing) but i'll summarise =D

after they went with the name Versailles The Philharmonic Quintet, it's becoming harder to separate them from other non-related Versailles stuff on the search engine. sometimes they would give me "Versailles", "Philharmonic", "orchestra", "classial" --> bleh....

firstly : i'm glad i've become more active in LJ. because, besides being able to continue my fangirling there without making the readers here irritated (ciehh, how many reader do i have actually? xD), it's also really filled with many people who share many wonderful things! like for example, right now i'm getting Shabake 2nd edition Uso Uso, and i'm about 80% done! =DDD and thank you god for HJSplit xDDD

so, this is the second day that i've started moving out bit by bit. the first one to go is, of course, my CD collection, which is divided into the important ones and the not-so-important ones.
8:28 pm
Saturday, 6 December 2008
just had a talk with minghui which was quite a rare opportunity. remember when we were moving out of burgundy and we were like, "since you're coming to my house, we will be able to talk more often instead of during tuition times, and i'll have someone to accompany me during my carrefour trips" and stuff. well, apparently none of them came true coz i was such an otaku, i mean i kept to my room practically 99% of the time, including when i'm eating breakfast/lunch/dinner/tea/whatever, and she's so busy with tuition and her kids and we just talked even lesser than when i was still at burgundy....

Phase 3.2 (2008)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/ekkusuphase32c.jpg
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
Phase 3.1 (2008)
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...
Phase 2.0 and 2.1 (2007)
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
Phase 1.2 (2006)
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
Phase 1.1 (2006)
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/?action=view¤t=yoshiki56trialwithrollovercopy.jpg
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.
More about the model: Yoshiki in the early X Japan era in early 90's when he still has long curly locks.
Etc: YOSHIKI IS MY HERO AND IDOL!
Phase 1.0 (2006)
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v457/arsenalx/th_yoshiki46copy.png
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).
Head company of Extasy Records, Extasy Japan and Extasy Records International (now defunct). http://myspace.com/yoshiki
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!
