Hey you, today we got most of our Dir en grey tickets, tomorrow the last ones for 23rd of April will arrive, we both are looking forward to the concerts.
5x Dir en grey and 5x D'espairs Ray (for Denise 3x) and we have very good numbers for D'espairs Ray as always, well most Dir en grey concerts we didn't have good numbers (but every time got good places on the stairs- so we can see very well), always with Dir en grey- guess it depends on how long you are a member to get the good numbers there, but finally it started, for the 22nd of April I have numbers 50 and 51 for us (I'm now a a knot member for more than one and half year), it's Zepp Tokyo- so it should be 2nd row, maybe 1st if all the guys before us wanted to stand in front of Kyo- we will see. Isn't it wonderful?
Well it will be hot and a harder time than usual, but at last we are in the front of Kaoru and Toshiya *laugh* maybe Kaoru will be happy, he is in no need to try to throw his picks across the whole hall (he is always trying to throw some of them in our directions and always not reaching us and throwing his arms in desperation ^^- very funny.) Guess he is happy to have some foreigner there, who came definitely for the music, dancing to the music and not screaming everybody's names ;) like most of the Japanese. Must be annoying after a while, especially for a guy like Kaoru who said- people got interested in us more than music, we were becoming idols- which isn't right- something like that. It is in the Kerrang from January.
Although most of the Dir en grey fans aren't as bad as the fans of D'espairs Ray, they are screaming, but they seemed to like the music too, so it is always a pleasure to got to Dir en grey in that way. Of course there are still some Miss Piggy Screamy Girlies, but most of the ladies are more punk and usually nice. All my good experiences with other fans had been with Dir en grey fans, they helped me with the wardrobe, after I lost my scarf returned it to me, spoken to me and all. Much nicer than D'espairs Ray and Moi dix Mois fan girlies. Especially the Dir en grey fans of Kyoto and Osaka are VERY friendly guys and much less screaming there. Maybe it is because Dir en grey has started in that area, I don't know, but could be the point and in Kansai there had been no Miss Piggy Screamy Girls at all.
I call them Miss Piggy because they have fake blond curls like Miss Piggy, wearing usually pink, ribboned, ruffled Lolita stuff or flower grandma stuff with pearl necklaces, matching pink heels with big ribbons or over black overknee prostitute style boots (Nuttenstiefel) with pink ribbons, matching glittery and ribboned handbags and make up, many of them had a nose plastic we call 'Piggy Nose' (Schweinchennase) because it looks very much like a pigs snout- it's very popular here, they think it is cute. They have ugly 5cm long, 2cm thick nail glitter scultpures as fake nails are always screaming like they are about to die, every quiet second they are calling some members name and hopping like soft plush dolls you are shaking in your hands during the concert. They are really annoying.
That's one part of people going to the concerts of Japanese bands, a big part unfortunately. With Mana they are usually wearing his fashion and screaming Mana-sama every minute, there are only some Miss Piggys, more traditional Gothic Lolitas. Sometimes I think with Moi dix Mois many girls are coming because of his fashion only-I will never understand why Japanese people are going to someone's live because he his involved to fashion, like the two models of H.Naotos Six and other models of his fashion. They used to be models, than getting a guitar and a microphone and everyone is running towards their concerts because they are the models of H.Naoto.
I will never understand what is so special of wearing someones clothes for advertisements or magazines. I enjoy model photography- yes I do, that's the reason why I love Germany's next top model- which unfortunately I can't see in Japan, due to Inawashiro I missed the start of it. I never watch shows, but I like this one, because of the shootings and interesting facts about fashion. I love fashion, writing and designing & fashion, costume history are my live, I can't live without, it makes me whole. But what is the point of models here in Japan?
They are so superficial, they are going to concerts because they think the guys are cute, they wanted them as a boyfriend to show him around to make other girls jealous, they are going to the concerts because of the costumes and tons of make-up in a guy's face, models can be the new rockstars if they are from H.Naoto.....
Of course Naoto is a clever guy, he is earning lots of money because of the hype about his models, I would do the same- who won't? Like I said many times to Denise, we two can become superstars here if we got the right promotion and clothes, no point about if we have talent or not. Horrible!
I will never ever understand why the people here are just go by looks and not by talent. And it doesn't matter if the look is fake- nearly everybody in TV, in magazines etc. has done an eye operation to make the eyes bigger, a nose plastic, wearing fake eyelashes and tons of make-up, with teeth bleaching, colored contact lenses, fake nails, fake hair, fake tits or push ups for hips and breasts... it is even worst than it appears to me in USA- we sometimes watch American channels here and many people there, who are doings shows, reading the news, acting in soap operas are looking normal, of course make-up, some push ups, guess some women has a breast plastic as well- I don't know, could be natural or fake. But that is ok, why shouldn't you take the advantages of make-up and clever clothes to look more beautiful, but it is only underlining yourself, you stay yourself and not becoming a fake plastic person like so many people here who are in spotlight.
It is awful like the people here are becoming a manga or anime character, a fake beeing helped by modern beauty surgery. I know in USA it is common to do botox and other stuff, but why not? I don't know if I would do it, but at least most persons used to stay themselves, are real beings and no by man drawn ideal person, who can and will never exist by nature.
What is worth lots of lines in gossip magazines in Europe and USA, if a woman is becoming a created dream creature of a man's beauty fantasy is every day stuff in Japan. The people here are worshipping a human type, which in other countries would be a person, who belonged in hospital to get regenerated. It is ill, they are inventing diet pills- which for sure won't be allowed in Europe because of health damages- for young women, who at height of 157cm or less or bit more have a weight of 45-48kg (a natural weight for a slim person) to get a weight of 35-38kg- a weight for which in Germany every doctor would ring the alarm bell and saying this person is anorexic (magersüchtig). They have creams which burn into your skin to get the hairs out of it, hormon creams to get bigger breasts, eye operations, diet pills adverstiments in almost every women magazine over 10 pages. And not a single word about the damages this stuff can do to your body.
This in a country where most of the people have underweight by nature and still they say it isn't slim enough. Maybe because diets are so popular in the western world. I don't know or maybe they have just in that case an ill mind. From a Japanese band I heard in one of our interviews long time ago, that many labels, managements are putting a weight line towards their musicians, they aren't allowed to get a normal weight, they have to stay at this ill weight size. If you look at Shinya or Die in the early years of Dir en grey, you can see where it end, anorexia, Die had a very nice butt in the beginning ^^- it completly disappeared because he became anorexic. Look at them now, they are all much more handsome and whoever is saying Kaoru is fat will be punished by me if I got a chance to do it. He is quite right, a very handsome man even if in my mind he isn't as beautiful as Toshiya ^^- but that is just personal taste ;)-Denise would say Kaour is more handsome than Toshiya ;). They are looking like men now! Especially Shinya. He is becoming quite handsome, but still much to thin in my opinion.
Yes you can see I can write lots about it, Denise and I often talk about this stuff because it is everywhere, in every magazine, in the papers of the convinis, in the train advertisments and videos, in every drug store.... and you can buy all this stuff without a doctors advise, you can even bleech your teeth yourself- you can pay the chemistry treatment free in every drug store, the same with the hair root burning creams, which definitely destroying your skin too- there had been a talk about it in Germany, Denise had known due to her mother- a nurse, they are forbidden in that strength in Germany, for a good reason. As well as you aren't allowed to buy teeth bleach and a dentist have to do it after talks with you and if he said no, than for a good reason you can't do it for yourself. The same for diet pills and all this stuff.
Sometimes I thought in Germany too many things are forbidden, but now I can truly understand why and I think it is a good thing too.
The same goes for smoking, you can't find any information about the dangers which came from smoking or drugs. The only thing they are doing is that the cigarette machines are locked after 23 o'clock until some time in the morning, because the children shouldn't be tempted to buy them at night. I heard it and were thinking what crazy stuff, I don't think many children are on the road in the middle of the night, so they can't be tempted because they are usually at home sleeping and the other thing is, they will buy the cigarettes in broad daylight if they want to. These machines standing everywhere, in public spaces and in small side roads, where only few people are walking by, so no one will watch.
They didn't have any information and warning about sects either, that's why so many new religions can easily rob the last penny of the pocket of a victim and they are to naive to notice the danger, which comes from some new religions like Soka Gakkai, I would say a Japanese Scientology, very powerful, too powerful, they have a political party in the government, most of the judges are SG, a cooperation with the biggest bank in Japan, strange deaths of all the people who wanted to say something against them in public.... they have banned BBC after they released a documentation about them- a rather negative one.
All German theologian publishers have forbidden them, SG wanted to publish their books in Germany, they didn't know what they were and searched for council from known theologians in USA and Japan, who knew about them like my teacher in Kyoto, and all advised against it and therefore they are forbidden to publish in Germany through all theologian publishers. So they are very dangerous and I am not a person who at the moment would dare to speak openly against them in Japan- guess they won't kill me, but maybe then I lost a chance of staying in Japan, so I am bit of careful, especially because maybe they know my name.
My teacher in Kyoto had been searched by Secret Services and his scripts as well because he is interested in SG and Aum Shinrikyo- the new religion, who is made responsible for the gas attack of Tokyo subways in 1993 or 1992 I don't know- the reason why there aren't waste baskets in Japan. So I guess all the students of him could be recorded by name as well, I don't know but until I have nothing to fear anymore to be thrown out of Japan I remain bit of silent about this. ^^
I didn't know all this stuff myself before I went to Kyoto- had been quite a shock- well that's why religious education is a must be, so the people can be warned about such stuff.
Of course most new religions are harmless, very nice, social societies, which are doing lots of good things to the homeless, people in need and are interested in culture and arts- in short the same stuff the churches in Germany do for the public, but there are some who are not.
And I better stop writing now, because otherwise it will far toooooooooooooooo long to read anymore *laugh* I didn't this expected to write all this- yes it is like Sean Connery said in 'Forrester gefunden', you just starting writing without much thinking and look what will flow out of your fingers on the paper.
Well maybe you enjoy this excursion to Japan, at the moment I am really thoughtful about many things here- guess that's why I have written this.
Love to you.
