Appropriate question, after seeing VAMPS. ;)

However, there will always and forever only be one answer to this question:

LESTAT DE LIONCOURT

Weekend Roundup

Friday was Cy's last night before her trip home, so we ate sushi and watched one of the Thin Man movies - Nick and Nora are my favorite couple ever! - while I bleached her hair and dyed her bangs pink.

Saturday morning I got up at 5:30 am to see Cy off. and then went back to sleep until about 8:30, when I woke up and cleaned the entire apartment, picked up the book I'd requested at the library closest to the apartment, and headed off to pick up Subsy!

We went back to the house and went for lunch, and then hung out, and watched 'Antique Bakery' and then we headed off to the VAMPS show, which is detailed in my previous post. Then we squeed about Hyde and went to sleep since it was pretty late.

On Sunday we went to Fisherman's Wharf, lamenting the fact that we hadnt' had the foresight to go on Saturday when Hyde went, but doubted that we would have recognized him with his new hair, especially in sunglasses. Then we went to J-town, did an hour of karaoke where we butchered many a VAMPS song, and went for Yakiniku. The yakiniku restaurant was sooo natsukashii. Neither of us had been since we were in Japan. It was so delicious, and so much fun, but it also made me miss Japan so badly it hurt.

Then we headed back home, watched random music videos etc on Youtube, and finally went to bed.

Subsy leaves today - it makes me sad. It was so great to see her, I had so much fun. Seeing Vamps of course, but also just hanging out and chatting about all sorts of things like crazy stories and people, and reminiscing about college and Japan, and boys in bands and vampire angst magnets and characters and rping and how Hyde and Gackt are going to have the ultimate Vampire War with Hyde + the US and Europe and Gackt + all of Asia, and Hyde and Kaz being incestuous vampire brothers born in Heian times.

It's so nice to see a friend after such a long time like that and have it feel the same as always, like no time has passed.

Aki is the biggest HYDE fanboy in the world

Interview about Hyde with Aki from SID.

Aki is the guy with the red scarf here, for people who don't know what he looks like. <3


( In which we learn that Aki is the world's biggest Hyde fanboy. Also, he took Hyde to get his nipples pierced. )

Music Lover's Special thoughts

For Music Lovers, MAX and SPEED went back to Okinawa for a special.

MAX got to meet various people they had crushes on 15 years before.

- Okay, so Reina had a crush on the 30 yr old guy who was a fellow catalog model at her agency. (Even though she had a boyfriend! Who used to pick her up after photo shoots on his motor bike!Hahaha) That's understandable. But how sketchy is it that the guy (who was 30 at the time!!) took her to see fireworks and held her hand a little and used to drive by the bus stop wondering if she was waiting, after photoshoots?? So sketchy!! (Although I loved Reina's cry of 'I was so shameless!! :O' after hearing she held hands with him. <3 Reina.)

- So...the famous singer who went to Actor's is...some Okinawa!famous singer...who is basically like the Okinawan Piko? AKA A Super flaming semi transvestite? Who says 'atashi'. LOL He didn't look like that in the '15 years ago' picture. I wonder if they were suprised when he came out?
But he knew Mina since she was 8! And 8 yr old Mina used to look after Hiroko, because she was even tinier. XD

- Oh, I like their silver and white outfits! The Medley was okay. I mean, they sounded great and looked good, but I'm tired of hearing the same old songs! Even though Seventies gave me goosebumps! Aww, memories! Oh man has it really been 10 years since Ginga no Chikai came out?? And it was cool to hear Mina sing an Aki!Era song.

- Nana had a crush on their karate teacher when she was 14. (No wonder, he was buff!!) (It's funny they never mention Namie, even though she was in karate with them.) Haha "It's smells like my Sensei!" I love how Nana keeps clutching at Reina's waist and arms and hiding behind her. And Lina clutching onto Mina. They're still just as physical as always! <3
Aww, Nana's thankful because he was strict about manners and being polite to your superiors. And who was the one who wouldn't listen to him?? Li-chan, of course! She used to wear flashy clothes, and he used to tell her to take out her piercings ('YOu're not a cow!') and stop wearing midriffs! <3 Li-chan!


- Yay for SPEED eating delicious Okinawa beef!! I loved Taka's "Nee, Eri-chan. Eri-chan. Eri-chan. There's one more piece. <3" XDD Taka-chan's dad's favorite Tempura place!! And apparently in Okinawa they just eat tempura on the go, like a snack...and have all kinds of interesting things you can't find in Tokyo, like weiners and umibudo...sea grapes? And it's cheap!! Only 60 yen!! Wow!

- Oh hey, the announcer/host is that guy from Yoru mo Hit Parade!!! That's why his voice sounds so familiar!!

- Aww Chinen-sensei the karate teacher wrote them a letter! Mina and Nana-san were sharp and understood what he was teaching them, Reina didn't stand out but she was ambitious! Li-chan...never listed when he scolded her about her lifestyle and was cheeky and precocious! (But also sweet and loved by her underclassmen.) <3 Li-chan....hahahaha
Aww, he always buys their CD and singles!! He wants them to remember they are the pride of Okinawa and to be good role models for Okinawan kids wanting to be stars! SO adorable! They are all teary eyed!


- Oh god, the pictures of them at 15! Hahaahahaha How so dorky, MAX??

- Rough Cut Diamond. I see why they chose this song now, because it fits in with all the old standards, but also have energy and seems like they're giving it everything they've got. And it takes on a new meaning hearing Li-chan say that the first line is supposed to be about MAX, which makes it "We won't hestitate anymore. We won't let it go again.", especially with Minako singing it solo in the beginning of the song. But I just realized the TV size version means Li-chan and Nana-san's solos get cut. Something's never change, I guess.

Aww, I've missed this MAX. So many hearts in my eyes. <3
