Le Ciel By Malice Mizer

Merry Christmas! Well, another year where we commercially celebrate the birth of Christ. Personally, I don't feel as guilty this year because I did not buy expensive gifts for myself. Nor anyone else for that matter. Cards and other handmade stuff. Tiring, but much more worth it. The sense of satisfaction from completing something is amazing.

On to frivolous things. I love Gackt's voice. I was wrong to think that Klaha was more suited and Gackt... Yeah. I was wrong. Its two totally different things. Watching videos, low quality ones at that, on Youtube is not an accurate representation of how Gackt sounds. In the CD, he sounds way better. The flamboyance of Malice is absolutely reliant on Gackt's vocals. I think Klaha's bass voice matched the funeral goth route they ventured into in the third stage. Well, Mana is a genius. I mean, the music is excellently produced with considerations for the voice type of the singer. Simply amazing for a guy who refuses to speak to the normal human public. The music of Malice Mizer is like nothing else. This is high praise coming from someone who lives in the world spawned by them. All the Visual Kei groups conbined cannot seem to produce music sufficiently haunting. The Malice Mizer genius, is very simply, their trademark.

How did I get the music? Borrowed the CDs from my PAE classmate Germaine. Its scary how the world is such a small place. Evidently, her sister is a huge Gackt fan. So she lent me a whole bunch of Gackt and Laruku CDs. Now that I've seen the originals, I'm convincede that if I ever have the good fortune to chance upon a windfall, I'll go get all the Gackt CDs available. The cover art and the song booklet and... The entire packaging is great! Its no longer just for the music, but everything. Especially how he addresses his fanclub. Its called DEARS. So yeah. A personal, intimate form of address. Boy does he know how to take advantage of his fans. Haha. Willing. Like I mentioned to Kaen, I'll gladly let him stab me with a knife. Lost cause.

I have a new phone! N6500s. The improved version of my Dad's previous phone. The nice, old, interface. Metal casing. Same weight as my previous phone. Able to take great photos. Sorts my music... Wonderful yeah? I actually wanted to get the W980. I mean, 8GB? And its Sony Ericsson. Nice music quality. The price tag was hefty, however. Something like 6 times the price of my current phone. No way am I paying that much. I'd feel guilty if my parents got it for me. This is as its not really essential to my living. I can survive with another phone, like my current baby. maybe I'll wait until its much cheaper...
