曾经在深夜的时候想过，如果复出以后会变得没以前那么精彩， 甚至会变得令我讨厌。。。那我宁愿你们根本不复出。就让我保有那段对于你们最美好的回忆。
这样的我很自私。
每个人有权利选择自己要走的路，即使不认同，也无需鄙视，更无需什么讨厌不讨厌。
这是理智的我在思考。
那是我3月之前时不时在脑海里面飘过的， 自我挣扎的思绪。
3月过后，我庆幸我还有机会和他们一起拥抱同一个梦想。身体里面某样东西又被触动了。就和10多年前一样。
即使toshi的声音已经回不来了，yoshiki的速度感不复从前，很多鼓点打不到。。。。和92-97年的时候相比，逊色了。不过，这就是时间的伟大，不但真实的在他们每个人身上走过，也在我身上流过，见证了这10多年来我们大家一起走过的每一段路。那是一种很亲切，很无憾的心情。再完美的技术也代替不了的感觉。
官方终于证实世界巡回演唱会延期。
那是意料中的事了。
毕竟我是个蛮资深的fan，而我的长处就是我有用不完的耐心来等待。
早前接受访问，提到世界巡回不是为了证明X-Japan有多厉害， 只是为了和一群散落在各地的fans拥抱一个梦想。。。。就如此而已。我真的蛮感动。
延期。。。。也说不上失望与否。基本上，健康最重要。
拥抱同一个梦想。。。。我还想再来几次。

乐团风真的吹起来吗？
seraph竟然打入本年度channel U的非常superband 16强？
我完全没有察觉。。。。。是睡过头了吗。。。我说我自己？
原来改了名字 - 翼旋风。member 也有了小变动，不过haoyang, jieguang都还在。
那天现场看了他们的表演。。。和2-3年前在asian civilization museum的户外演出，简直是大跃进啰!掌声鼓励！
还有在本地动漫界也算是个人物的kunio，他那团 - ethereal也打进16强！可喜可贺！乐团还改了个中文名 - 异世界。还是坚持走视觉风。高佬主唱到底能不能带领异世界一直往前冲不被中途淘汰。。。。我也没谱叻！
翼旋风， 异世界 - 先不说玩得好不好，不过亲切感就先让我投一票了。
有个坊间流言，本来今年非常superband 要分开乐器和非乐器组合，不过非乐器组合参加人数不够，到头来还是全参杂在一起。乐团对非乐团性质的团体赛。。。感觉怪怪滴。乐团风还是那么弱吗？ 可是到最后进入16强，又好像以乐团居多， 奇怪现象？
明天晚上开始，非常superband 16强进行每星期1次的PK赛，会一直淘汰到剩下4组。观众投选。。。。往往赛果很出人意表！ 是说，上届也是乐团性质的迷路兵赢了。
星期1晚上，应该不会那么忧郁了。
这个是16强在上次IMM的表演。 翼旋风最后出场。。。。和前身seraph是不是天渊之别？

2-3年前ACM户外演出片断 - seraph 玩了raphael的eternal wish （吉他过门，我就笑到再也直不起腰了！不过，看他们真的很努力，又觉得真是可爱的小弟弟！）

交涉人 - Rating 3.5/5
同时保护受害人和罪犯不是理想主义，是交涉人的责任。
死囚 [humpty dumpty, humpty dumpty…….]
交涉人 [humpty dumpty是鸡蛋。。。。一旦出现了裂痕，连国王的救兵也无法挽回。]
~~~~~~扭曲的人性
死囚 [你今天休假。]
交涉人 [你怎么知道？]
死囚 [我怎么知道。。。我怎么知道。。。。。]
交涉人 [。。。。。。。]
死囚 [你今天的口红颜色和平时不一样。]
~~~~~有些东西平常简单到我们都忽略了
交涉人 [你怎么看这次犯案人的扭曲心理。]
死囚 [ 他的心真的扭曲了吗? ]
交涉人 [ 犯人享受被害者临死前的痛苦挣扎， 还不算扭曲吗？]
死囚 [是犯人的心扭曲了，还是我们以扭曲的眼光看待他？]
~~~~~扭曲的眼光永远看不到事实的真相
交涉人 [犯人对9这个数字很执著。那是为了什么？]
死囚 [ 9 就是9，永远不会变成10。]
交涉人 [9就是9，永远不会变成10？]
死囚 [犯人是完美主义者。]
~~~~~不要太执著于事情的完美， 就算事先想好的9 忽然变成10，那又如何呢?何必为此乱阵脚。
本来对交涉人一点兴趣都没有。凉子妹对我来说是木美人，摆着看漂亮，演戏就很恐怖。 对Udan有好感是因为部长的关系，不过他后来接的戏不是跑龙套就是超级无敌上天下海的滥， 尤其是花样， 本来估计这部交涉人也不会好到哪里去。最多是演个警居新人，给上司泡咖啡那种。惊喜地。。。。。他竟然演死囚， 而且是贯穿全剧的无差别连环少年魔鬼杀人犯。一开始，他已经落网，老老实实的呆在监狱里。唯一的探访者就只有一个在逮捕他的事件中丧命的警员的女儿 – 警队里唯一的女性交涉人。
整部戏阴沉沉， 以白黑灰为主要色系。整部戏拍摄过程，Udan除了和米仓凉子见面， 和其他演员都是没有交流。。。。。。就是那种孤立黑暗囚房所塑造的感觉。
虽然是警匪片，不过动作场面很少，因为主力都放在和犯人交涉的谈判上。会话和交涉过程成了整部戏的精髓，往往在不经意的地方就隐藏了破案的关键。是一部比较静态的剧集， 看惯了近期胡闹到不行的速食日剧， 真的是个很好的转变。
交涉人 [你的抢上了几发子弹?7发。。。还是5发？]
犯人 [不管你的事！]
。。。
。。
交涉人 [是我错了，原来你上了6发子弹。]
~~~~~7发子弹 – 人质有7个人 , 5发子弹 – 人质中有5个男性 , 6发子弹 – 判断错误，其中一个人质和犯人是同党。交涉人有危险。
悬疑剧，我一向比较偏好， 尤其是静态悬疑剧。
（当然不提凉子妹那场脱衣秀和荒木宏文在最后一集客串的fan service。。。。这种fan service多多益善，不过基本上不会影响我对剧集的评价啦。。。。相信我哦！）

有人说很想silence of the lambs， 那是不对的。 silence如果是pateke phillipe, 那交涉人 就是baby G 了。虽然都是名牌，不过层次差太远了。
Lately, work has never been worse. But sure I will get over it and cruise along like I always did! Its tougher this round, but no reason I cant do it.

牙狼～GARO
Post is hideously outdated. Wrote it last last week, but was really not in the mood to blog much.
But oh well, since I wrote it, thot might as well just post it coz I think I would be doing injustice to the series if I din like RECOMMEND it.
============================================================
Oh man.....this is probably the best tokusatsu I have come across. Highly highly x 1000 recommended!
Excerpt taken from Wikipedia : "The series is considered by some to be a turning point in tokusatsu entertainment, as it was marketed towards adults and older teenagers, as opposed to younger children. The show contains graphic violence, nudity, and mature themes. It was marketed as a "Hyper Midnight Action Drama."
Laughs....how true. Plus the fight scenes are nicely done. I am not a big fan of hyper special effects. If I wanted to watch that, I would go to the cinema and catch an A-grade Hollywood action movie on digital format. For tokusatsu series, I like it when the heroes fight - fist by fist, 拳拳到肉!
The Garo world is a world of its own with many special rules. It is said that the human world is haunted by Horrors, a monster that is created out of the inner dark personality of human beings. Such ill feelings take shape and in turn possess the very human beings they were born from, causing havoc in the world. Makai Knights are a chosen breed whose task is to rid the world of Horrors (this does not equate to protecting the human race. There's a slight difference here).
Each region in the world has its own Makai Knight and every knight only takes care of its own area. It is against the rule to poke your fingers into another location (hehe, how true! sounds like the corporate world!). Each Makai Knight reports to a Shinkan, literally means the guardians of the passageway between Hell and the human world. Garo's Shikan of the east take the form of 3 damn irritating girls who take turns finishing up one sentence. The Shinkans are served by this angmoh looking butler who seems to be mute. Each Makai Knight has a Madogu, essentially a piece of accessory which has entered into a contract with the Makai Knight. Garo's madogu is a skull-shaped ring Zaruba, who has entered into a contract to be by Garo's side upon the death of Garo's father. Madogu's not only help the Makai Knights during their training, they also provide valuable insight and advise regarding the Horrors and act as a Horror detector of sorts. Besides the Madogu, each Makai Knight has different armours, weapons and abilities. The armour is made from Soul Metal (special element retrieved from Hell) and can withstand any kind of attack. But each time it is summoned, the Makai Knight can only wear it for 99.9s, anything longer the armour will in turn devour the Makai Knight, turning him towards the dark side. Only in one battle did Garo risk going beyond the 99.9s time limit and he went bersek, morphing into a werewolf like creature displaying extremely violent traits.
Although each episode focuses on a specific horror type - lust, greed, envy (sthy like seven sins), a lot of interlocking mysteries are thrown in along the way, leading to the final climax at the end of the series. Was Garo's father killed by another Makai Knight? Why did Garo kill Shizuka, Zero (Makai Knight of the West)'s lover? Why does the Shinkan of the East take the form of 3 young girls? Who is Kodama (nope, not the shinkansen for sure)? Why does the shinkan of the East seem so keen on setting the stage for Zero and Garo's showdown? Why did Kaoru's father paint pictures of Makai Knights in his story book? Why does Kaoru keep running into Horrors? All these seemingly unrelated pieces fall together ingeniously towards the end. And I just have to say, its such a refreshing change from the usual Super Sentai and Kamen Rider series (where bad is bad, good is good and never the twain shall meet!).
oops, I digressed. Back to Garo ~ the only gripe I have for Garo series - the female lead Kaoru suck big time. I mean, I am used to seeing female leads in tokusatsu series being very HOT!. This one is jialut. And the only reason I suspect why she was chosen was because she really looked professional in the last fighting scene (and thats her only real fighting scene). She really kicks ass. I dun wan that leg to land on my face, my face will crack! Hmm, the evil female horrors were quite hot though..........especially Meshia.
A lot of fighting scenes were filmed at premium outlet! Yes, I recognize those branded shops! Couldnt stop laughing about it. (Yes, a-poh.......we need to go back there again)
My fav scene from the series - Garo Vs Zero.
(this is also the first time Zero henshin-s. And yes, Zero is Ray Fujita and he goes by another name Takuto -vocalist of indie band Dustz. Din know he can kick so well!)
By the way, the current season of Super Sentai series - engine go-onger SUCK big time. Its totally crap la. Such a disappointment compared to the last Jyuuken Sentai series. Kamen Rider just gets better. After Den-o last season which was already good, the new Kamen Rider Kiva series is even better! Despite Seto Koji needing some help from the Looks dept (he looks damn gay at times) compared to Takeru, the current season of Kamen Rider is really good. Finally we have a superhero who is dark (one of his parents I think is a Fangaire?), stays in a haunted house, plays the violin and has a bat as his motif ~~ Cool!
Sentai series can go suck eggs this time. Kiva takes it all!
