Nothing important. / DISTRESS AND COMA release!

[chiisanahito]

Today
25 March 2009
is the release date for the GazettE's newest single
DISTRESS AND COMA

Wait for your copy!
Or go get one if you haven't so!

...I heard the tracks yesterday, actually. Ahaha.
Technically it's the 25th in Japan when I heard the single yesterday, so I'm not cheating or anything.

My thoughts on it?
Well, I can definitely say that the GazettE is taking on a new approach with this single.
They're trying out new things while maintaining the image of 'the GazettE'.
So some might not feel comfortable with this new direction, while others might feel refreshed.
Therefore I can't really give my reviews on the whole single or each song unless I've listened to them with the fullest concentration and feeling...-na kanji de.

But for the B-side (do they call it this nemore nowadays?),
HEADACHE MAN,
I dunno if I heard correctly but,
I think Kai used double-pedals...
You know like how Avenged Sevenfold's, All That Remains', and Shadows Fall's drums sound like?
The 'rapid-pedals' sound.
I just thought :
"Wow, Leader, you...are just amazing."
But correct me if I'm wrong, please.
Haha.

Listen to it and tell me what you think of DISTRESS AND COMA ♥

Taken with a Lomo Supersampler 35mm-film camera.
Taken at San Francisco during our winter break there.

Sent the film for developing yesterday, and 3 photos were damaged haha XD but the ones taken in San Francisco were fine =3

Hai, koko made.
Ja.

A Reason to Smile today :
ELLEGARDEN =D

I gotta say I'm not so excited about it but I definately like the songs... the problem with me is that I like to stay classic and basic XD so I always go for the old songs of the bands I like. But yeah it's good

love the picture

♥ kiss

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

old songs are still awesome really =D but i'm kind of glad that they tried new stuff, so people can't really label them as one genre only =3

i love the picture too lolz XD

chuu back~ ♥

[uru-k-22.livejournal.com]

of course it's great they try new stuff ^^ it just depends on the fans to choose what they like best (though I never considered myself a good fan >w<)

<3

he did, leader-sama did!
he sampled it via their Leech single.
i like it.
i'm always up for something new.
XD

i'm getting mine this fri/sat! *is very excited*
headache man was very Uruha-ish whilst Without a Trace was very Aoi-ish.

that's an awesome picture, for a moment i though it was M. Shadows of A7x hehehehe...weird that you mentioned them too!

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

HE DID RIGHT? Leader-sama? now i so want to see this song LIVE XD
he sampled it via their LEECH single...really? wow i din know that 8D
plus, actually for the past few months, listening to the likes of A7X, Shadows Fall, and All That Remains when riding in my friend's car, i thought of double pedals and wondered if any J-rocker already did that or would do it.
AND NOW IT'S COMING TRUEEE haha

hoping for your copy to arrive safely!
ah now that you mention it, Headache Man does sound Uruha-ish. un un.

coincidence? 8D and thanks 83

[saga-von-claus.livejournal.com]

he did he did *claps hands in glee*
i think he should go and pimp up his set, make it like the Rev of A7x or Joey of slipknot, double-bass-double-pedal. And leader-sama will blown people's minds even more.
=]
i love a7x! those dudes are old-school rock and roll.

i'm excited! *sings neko song*
i'm feeling all sappy and romantic lately - i couldn't stop listening to Calm Envy. The into reminds me of a spanish guitar - nylon stringed...*sighs*

he looks awfully a lot like Shads.

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

so now i've got to know about drums! the little that i know now is all from my friend, her boyfriend's a drummer =3
i'm not crazily into A7X but i know all their stuff are THE AWESOMENESS. i got to see them during Taste of Chaos last year actually! AND THEY'RE THE COOLESTTT!!

-- you and your neko-song will be the new otp now XD;
and i agree with the intro of Calm Envy *nods nods* although i have no idea how nylon-stringed guitars sound like =___=; yoroshiku ne, lei-sensei *bows*

he does eh...maybe that really is him, who knows? and i missed the biggest chance i haddd damnnn D8

[saga-von-claus.livejournal.com]

TOC, i used to go to that every year! *whines*
drums are hell a lot easier to understand - no, not really hehe. depends on what you're really into. guitars are just more universal in a sense.
a7x, i love them - gates' solos, shads voice, rev's drumming skills are the best! (okay, and vengeance's guitar-skils are gnarly too, and so does christ)

i know, my friends are kinda blaming me for it too - singing and dreaming about it, it seems...*starts singing*
ahhhh a nylon stringed guitar's sound is softer but sharp - the melody, it has certain 'twang' to it - ever heard of that chinese song Meteor Rain? the solo was brief but you can hear the nylon so well - very nice, whereas a steel stringed guitar it's simply sharp like the Cassis intro. =]
and in my opinion, though nylon is awesome, you gotta have a firm grip to it, cus it's very...slippery *for lack of a better term*. XD

oh man, if that indeed was shads - lucky! he's a friendly dude too!

EDIT: here, i found out i've got the solo in my sharing folder!

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

you did?! sweet!
oh i see...so wait, you learn music?
i have yet to explore a7x more actually! XD <-- is slow on music-stuff.

that's quite a clear explanation to me =3 so now you're officially my guitar information center, sort of =D haha well i tend to ask stuff a lot, so if you feel like smacking me in the head, feel free to do so, cuz i'll just ask even more XD

[saga-von-claus.livejournal.com]

i learn music...? from what..? *is somewhat lost*
i'm a guitar-man - or girl, yes.
ah yes yes yes, do explore 'em!
they're quite an awesome band, though their latest stuff is quite political-ish.
XD

ahh that's fine! i like talking about music...i'd go on and ramble about it.
and no, i will not SMACK you, you're not ALLOWED yet. hehehe.

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

ah no, i meant : did you learn music in school or take a music course or something. ngh words fail me at times.
guitar-girl, definitely!
will explore em from the earliest possible release!

i'm not allowed yet...i wonder when i'd be allowed to be smacked. *is scared now*

[saga-von-claus.livejournal.com]

oh no, i learned on my own. =D
cus my dad plays the guitar and i think i've mentioned that he heavily influenced me with rock and jrock.

a7x, they're good. used to be a bunch of addicts though but they've sobered up. which is good.

hahaahha. i meant that smacking in a good way. like gentle-smacking. *is somewhat creeped out by my own statement*

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

ah i see *nods nods*
i think you have...but then again my memory fails a lot, so >w>;

and i heard about them from my friends like that too. and all the more reason for me to explore em =3

yes you should be creeped out. and ashamed of yourself for scaring an innocent person like me. HAHAHAAA XD

[saga-von-claus.livejournal.com]

Nadia = FAIL...!
~chuuu

the rev is FAT though, he gained weight - unless he started working out without my knowledge...ahaha.
oh have you heard...? that one that's going around, and believe it or not i heard it from school yesterday...miyavi is MARRIED.

behehehe. my apologies *bows head*...gomen!

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

yeah i know i fail *sobs*

ah the rumors? yeah i read it from a few blogs. one of the blogs put a link to the said source, and i dunno if it's real or not...but well if he really is married, then i'll be relieved to know that :
a) Myavi is straight HAHAHA
b) what i wanted to see -- a J-rocker getting married -- is coming true!
yes really i want to see any of em gets married. and i should be prepared to have fangirls throw rocks at me for saying that XD;

and wait, you heard this from school? 8D

[saga-von-claus.livejournal.com]

XD
fail in a good way.

i think he'll clarify it on his april 5th live and his departure from PSC as well. if he's indeed then i'm happy for him, he's a cool dude though my relationship for his fashion is somewhat love-hate.
i believe a lot of fans bitched on his myspace. some people are just so - off.

YES. there's clique of girls who's into miyavi and they seem to talk to me randomly and for no reason at all just to have some miyavi-convo-update.
and they told me and i just said, 'ahhh, really? wow, that's a mature decision for him then!' and i walked away...ehehehe...i was hungry and wanted some caffeine at that time.

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

oh *phew* XD

i guess a lot of things will be clarified on April 5th then. reason for departure, any rumors heard of...i wanna be there XD and i have to agree on your thoughts on his fashion
they do? gotta check it out now!

whoa wow whattt 8D
your caffeine needs > random miyavi talk lolz XD

ehhh don't you have to go to school early to send in your term paper? and you're still up at this time why...? D8

[saga-von-claus.livejournal.com]

=]

i wanna be there too, just so i'll hear it directly from him.
he deserves to be happy, if it's true.
hahaha. love-hate isn't it?..ah well.

i think it was due to this one moment long time ago where i was with my friends and those girls were nearby and i mentioned how ore-sama's riffs were heavy but cool. and they might've heard it and they started updating me with all these miyavi-stuff..and i still dunno who they are! *is somewhat ashamed*

i do, have to be in school by 10am. i might be late cus my microsoft access if fucking up on me and i can't view my file and gyahhh...have to use the family PC then.
XD

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

hearing it directly would be awesome!

i was just about to ask who the girls were, and well nvm that now XD; but it's just normal not to know who they are after a while of talking with them...well to me, it's normal. i have that too *headdesk*
i know they're my classmates but i never know their names and what year they're in and stuff. BAHAHA.

ah so~ then i dun wanna interrupt you nemore! hope it'll turn out fine soon =3

[saga-von-claus.livejournal.com]

agreed.

hahaha, i always remind myself that if i ever bump into those girls, i'd at least have the decency to ask their names but i keep forgetting AND digressing...gyahhh,

actually, my love, i gave up half an hour ago already...waste of my time really. ehehe.

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

you...what? so is the term paper okay? D8

ah and i never asked the names of my classmates too durrr *fail*

[saga-von-claus.livejournal.com]

i've yet to find out later today after getting some sleep..which i'm about to do in a few minutes..

..i gotta clean my room.
XD

and it is kinda weird talking to them and once they're gone i'm all 'ahhehhhh i dun' even know them!'

okay, time for me to sleeppppp.

~chuuuu

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

[chiisanahito.livejournal.com]

ah a Lomo Supersampler is a type of film camera used in a branch of photography called lomography =3
basically, with the camera i'm using, instead of 1 scene in 1 photo, i can take 4 frames of sequence in 1 photo X3
old-school film camera rocks XD
