Returner ~ Yami no Shuuen~ by Gackt

Goodness. I'm in love with Gackt again. Not that I've abandoned my half completed Laruku shrine... But watch the video above. Singing about love in the midst of battle. Its seriously impressive, although it sounds strange when I put it in writing. Oh well. It does not matter whether or not you are a Gackt fan. The sheer depth of feeling conveyed is sufficient to convince you that Gackt is a genius. And that he looks hot. In a smothering, depressed hero kind of way. Lol. From his Furinkazan stint? Oh. New single is called Jesus. I wonder if the Japanese are rediscovering Christianity. hyde's music has been increasingly religious too. Still, Returner and Mizerable are my absolute favourites. For me, I like Gackt because of his ability to convert his soft-spoken voice into really haunting vocals. His voice is not powerful, well at least from the PVs and CDs, but it sticks in your head. The music is also amazing enough for the tune to just keep replaying. The visual feast that is his PV does not hurt either :) Guess its from his VKei roots...


Enough of Gackt! I've ripped an astonishing number of hyde's photos from the net. I can't help it! hyde is just so absolutely photogenic! In a way, he's a bit like a vampire... You know, the never aging part? He totally does not look like he's 40 next year! Haha. Well, he's exceedingly private, so the age is the result of speculating and math done by crazy fan girls like me. Lol. In a way, 40 is the minimum age. Any younger and... Well, lets just say he would not be able to would not be able to do certain things when he started out. Gackt too. Minimum is 35 next year. Another age-less vampire. I can understand why, after all, the entertainment industry is seriously hard on those without the glamour of youth. Which makes the Japanese entertainment industry kind on those who are old. Well, at least men. Like I said previously, men need maturity. I mean, there's Laruku, Gackt... a whole lot of singers in middle age... Even Mana! Goodness knows how old he is... A friend of mine commented that he looks a bit like the Thai transvestite prostitutes when he models as a female recently. I think its age influencing his face shape. I don't know. He still looks ok to me, but... I still admire him, but I think he should stop the cross-dressing modelling. He looks good as a guy. Should just stick with it. Mana fans, please don't kill me!


Ah! I found a blog that reviewed hyde's album, Faith. Here. I don't really agree with all the reviews, but its a rather accurate representation of my general review of the album. To me, Faith is something like 4 stars on the whole, with a few songs 3 stars. So the girl's reaction is a bit extreme. Still, its worth reading.


I want new stuff to listen...
