以下 - 售票情况---狂贺！sold out。。。。。。鞠躬！是当天售票，当天断货。我功成身退。。。。笑，是说我只抢了那么1张，没什么影响的啦，不过也算尽了一份力啰！
以上。。。。发完疯，现在回去埋头苦干，赚钱！ 周末再把小树高唱芭辣之霸的tokyo diamond剪上来（感谢马甲P帮我把dvd的片断剪出来，对我这腐女来说，这简直是世纪末的难题来的！不可能任务！）。
As I was mentioning in my earlier post, my 特别推荐dorama for this summer season is ホタルノヒカリ. It’s a damn hilarious tale of a 干物女 or himono onna i.e. someone who is disinterested in love/marriage and basically just cannot wait to get home everyday after work to just laze around at home. She follows a strict schedule of knocking off at the specific minute, ie no OT no working late nite, no gallivanting with colleagues after work. She keeps her private life after work very much to herself and does not engage in the so-called normal social activities of typical OLs like dating or matchmaking (aka 春子in 派遣员的品格). For more on 干物女 and a test to see if you are one, pse go to 神秘人's blog。Wa……he formally major debut with Avex on 7/28! 正式出道了哦。。。是说他2003年从名古屋上京后就一直在livehouse打滚, 连续剧的网页说他是新人也有点那个啦。。。。。orz。了解了解，这是整个乐坛运作的规律。

当然我注意他是因为他真的能唱（当然样子符合我的审美观也是考虑范围之内的事），不过现场爆发力有待进步，舞台动作不够放。声线偏高，低音部分还需要练习，尤其是快歌低音部分明显中气不足，唱得有点吃力。不过只要遇到中高音部分+acoustic， 他就无敌了！
虽然在livehouse跑了很长的时间和在特摄剧里小有名堂，不过他开始被比较多人认识是接演了网舞的K5冰帝女皇的角色。那年和U部长那一段双部长2重唱。。。。真的是经典！那个时候真的觉得他们是2代里面最能唱的了。 2006年, 出了他的首张EP-Rough Diamond和办了8场one man 。 票票竟然SOLD OUT ~~~~！后来又乘胜追击出了single-Vampire 又再加办8场 one man - Glamour Attack Tour, 票也让大家抢破头- 卖光光。Vampire 初登oricon no.16。 当时 以一个indies的新人来说，他在indies界也算是话题人物之一。 （是说，vampire真的是很芭辣的东西来的。。。pv也拍得有点那个。。。不过我蛮喜欢这首的。现在已经成为live定番啰！）
2007年是他发马力冲刺的一年, 出了一张 ballad 单曲 「そばにいてc/wリアル」。 「リアル」被选为TBS「世界バリバリ☆バリュー」的片尾曲，「そばにいて」成了TBS「エンタメキャッチ」的开头曲。 有 TBS 帮忙宣传，单曲初登 Oricon no 16。 年头又开了8场one man， 也是sold out。 现在终于找到avex 这个大户主，听说公司砸了大笔钱帮忙宣传他过档后7/28推出的EP。。。。宣传巴士到处飞，还打着 "这个人是谁" 的超级爆笑标语！
加盟大的公司不是坏事。。。。曝光率增加也不是不好，不过还是希望他专注于音乐方面的东西多点。
他的歌有点芭辣。。。。不对，是很芭！很好玩。。。看看两首live定番warning和 higher就知道啦。
10/13 - 日比谷野音有场one man， 是他加盟avex后真正以歌手身份出席的活动。。。。怎样？很想看看和以前有没有什么不同呢。。。。。。是说我觉得他加盟avex后的首张single不比之前indies时代的东西强到哪里去。。。。。
Its located on the upper storey of a row of shop houses. If you follow the small staircase, you will be greeted by the red wall bearing the name of the eatery XIYAN – 喜宴。There is no fixed menu and each table just goes through a 12 course dinner whipped up by the chef. The menu changes daily and you need a min of 5-6 pax to make up one table. Our menu for the nite was:
Oh Boy!!!!!! Our first appetizer was a tomato dish. This genetically altered monster looking tomato the size of a huge persimmon is really GOOD! Even a meat lover like me took double-triple helpings. The tomatoes are extremely sweet and it goes extremely well with the wasabi & sesame sauce dribbled generously over it.
The next few appetizers were not that superb. Cold tofu pork floss – nothing to shout about really. Very similar to 冷奴,except this one had all the pork floss throw over it. I kinda prefer the Taiwanese version of 凉拌豆腐with century eggs included. The shishamo in my humble opinion was bad. The poor thing was neither plump nor tasty. Okra with red beancurd sauce turned our to be 腐乳四角豆！！！Well, very normal. I like my 腐乳thick and stinky, the watered down version here din really appeal to me.
The first main course of the nite was Oolong chicken. Its really a normal dish but I would say the chicken was marinated well and I could taste a hint of the fragrant tea in the skin. 
The glutinous rice with spareribs was the show stealer (below). The glutinous rice was well simmered and sucked in all the flavorings…..死ぬほど美味しかった！トマトは勿論美味かった、でも、肉が大好きな私にとって、やっぱり豚肉はもっと好きだ！スパーリーブ最高！！！！！！
I have this thing against fried fish so I din really touch the grouper (which looked suspiciously like the gurami fish some Indonesian restaurants serve). According to those at the table, the fish was fresh alright. But what I liked about this dish was the generous dose of pomelo and lime salad that came along with the fish. Very refreshing and good for someone like me who adores pomelo but can never get around to peeling the damn thing. I left the next dish untouched – crabs!
The serving of sorbet midway (pic below) was a darn considerate act on the part of the eatery. Hail all things sour! Banzai to Sorbet! The basil was not overpowering, instead I could taste the kalamansi added in. I wished we had more of the sorbet. I could just stop eating here and have it for dessert.
The soup which followed was typical Cantonese fare – 老火汤。Not too bad, but I have tasted better soup. The last dish of the day was fried spinach ( ouch!!!!!!!). You cannot really go wrong with fried veg.
Desert was lychee ice-cream in osmanthus wine. Oh…thot the ice cream tasted more vanilla than lychee. I wished it was more fruity. The wine was fragrant and light. To top it of, we all had one canned lychee each!!!(Muahahahahahah!) 
Quaint experience dining here really. Although not every dish was superb, they were usually above average. I really liked the basil sorbet and pomelo salad (冗談じゃないよ！). And the service staff were good, taking great pains to go through every single dish they served, explaining in detail the ingredients used and the cooking methods employed.
私にとって、もっとも神に近いバンド – X JAPAN!
最近忙到半死。。。。还好我家的太上皇出了个20000円的东西慰藉我那快干枯的心灵！
说到抢钱，太上皇出动，其他人都靠边站。你说J家厉害抢钱，看看我家太上皇，1994年两场巨蛋竟然出了3个版本DVD。内容差不多，还出了3个版本。。。而且推出当天竟然给他老人家抢滩成功，包了oricon前3名，莫非他已经修炼成精！压箱底的东西都能赚成这个样子。。。见鬼了！
1994年．。。。也不能算是巅峰期，不过我那时还是沦陷得很厉害。
Rose of pain 歌长10多分钟，是我很喜欢很喜欢的一首indies时代的东西。为什么觉得他们是最接近神的乐团， 这首东西是起因。。。。。搞摇滚他们当然出色，不过看rose of pain 里头的音乐性，就知道他们不只是一群局限metal的发烧友。Fugue in g minor是很多乐队玩过的东西，madeth’ll, mucc, nightmare。。。。。不过私心认为X Japan玩得最出色。Rose of pain根本已经和fugue in g minor混成一体，完全听不出个别乐曲。。。这是yoshiki高明的地方。当然曲子本身难度很高，弹奏技巧没有俩下子根本不能表演起来。体力和集中力也是一个问题。10多分钟，整首歌曲维持一个很高的tension，中间没有间断，体力和集中力稍微少一点也不行。
和orchestra一起表演。。。。。。10多年前太上皇们就玩过了。真正symphonic metal。。。最出色的还是他们。发觉和现下的vkei比较，原来X Japan表演时候都很正经, 没什么装饰。。。。因为是很有实力的团体，所以就变得没什么注重表演的形式了（最showy的可能要数toshi的发型了）。
为什么现在已经没什么兴趣追vkei的原因。。。。因为很多东西都本末倒置了。
