Addiction

Wowie. I just realised that I'm a fool thirteen times over. Why? Cause I got myself addicted to Gackt. I'm now desperately searching for his songs. Really sad if you realise that Singapore isn't exactly the best place to get alternative music. Yes, Gackt is considered 'Alternative Music'. Why? Simple, the medium is Japanese. Anything other than mainstream English and Chinese pop goes under alternative. Yuck. If anyone knows of any kind souls who have Gackt stuffies to share or sell, please do contact me. I'm going bersek.



On to Gackt-less stuff, but still regarding obsessions... Tetsu can SING!!! I have his song, Tightrope, and the vocals rocks! This is despite the poor recording quality of downloaded songs. If i can't find substantial Gackt albums, Tetsu's album is even more likely to be available only via the Internet. Unfortunately, I don't have so much spare dough. So I'll just have to withhold my cravings until I chance upon a pot of gold and go on a spending spree at CDJapan. What a sad life. Tetsu's voice is seriously great. I recommend going to YouTube to listen to his amazing voice. I have no idea why Hyde laughed at his voice! Its great! The quality is more of the mainstream kind, not as flexible as Hyde's, but its clear and has a distinct character. Overall? Go listen, and judge by yourself. I promise you an awesome audio experience. It doesn't hurt that Tetsu is adorable either :) Haha. The leader of Larcon is talented. Although he isn't able to connect with the audience as well as Hyde, he has substance.



Regarding Hyde, I had absolutely no idea that Cape of Storms is an English song. I thought it was in Japanese! With parts in English! Am I stupid or what?! I guess its because I was too taken with the tune. Beautiful, soothing. Almost haunting, not quite there, but not bad as a whole. The PV is dissappointing. I suppose it does fit in with the entire theme of spiritually lost and hopelessness, but still... Was expecting more.



It seems like Larcon is really amazing and absolutely talented. After all, they've been in the industry for 16 years. I suppose it takes lots of ability to have such staying power. American bands tend to fade out after a couple of years, even those who are really popular stop relaesing so many albums and are unable to suitably attract the younger audience. Haha. I love my Larcon!


Here's a gorgeous picture of the band's new look for Kiss. Notice Hyde's hair? Really suits him. Much better than the hairstyle he sported at the starting of Larcon. He really looks better with age. Hmm. I wonder what this suggests about me...
