JAPANESE SYMPHONY

And so I return to you, my dear multipliers, WITH... a brief history of my time away

2010-01-08T18:27:00.000-08:00

Mood: Tired

Song: Oh Star by Paramore

My time away from everyone has been quite relaxing but boring. From November to December, I've been working at Lillian Vernon as what they call a Volt Employee but, it was a seasonal position and was bound to end soon enough.

I met this woman while working there, she was a 40 year old, Vietnamese beauty named Dung Dang. In only a month, we bonded fast and became boyfriend and girlfriend for just that short period of time until the day came when I'd be laid-off. I was gratefully the last one out of those who weren't productive to get booted for the season.

Getting on the computer became a big issue so, that created my hiatus since my idiot stepdad likes to tinker with the internet connection, thinking he knows what he's doing when in fact, he's just messing things up even more. That stupid computer, *yawn* it's so slow and it's old. I'm surprised it still works.

From then on, I've been on my cellphone, inside of Virgin Mobile's network. I treat my cellphone like it's a baby and am never without it. But, while in the network, I've made a family there as well. But, it was no accident for the one person that I was surprisingly destined to meet, a twin, but of asian ethnicity. My little sister, Yui. This was all around the first to second week of December. The funny thing is, we never thought of how much we look alike until after christmas in which, I could say that the both of us finding one another mysteriously was a great enough christmas gift. But then, on the 26th, my world turned and I met someone who shared all of my interests, even as a vampire. Her name? That really isn't for me to give out but, there's a story behind everything from when we met. We were happy to've found eachother but, fell in love a little too fast. Things went awry as she met my sister, who was so untrusting of her and caused us to break away from one another. We then made a promise to never fall in love but, that had already been broken from the start when we'd first met.

We were perfect for each other in all ways possible. Me, being the kind of person to never give up and to fight for love, I mended the scars until my dear love told me that I'd get hurt if we were to fall in love and made a future together. I didn't care to get hurt, as I've been hurt millions of times, even with a shattered heart.

And so we made up, and things went well until she'd gotten sick. It had only been two days since she was away at the doctors, and someone'd given me inside information about my dearest. I had to do something fast so, I told her whats been spoken of while she was away. It caused less pain but, we went from being intimate friends to just friends. I've told her millions of times that I wouldn't ever give up on her for any reason, no matter what is was. So, as the days went by, I checked up on her, made sure she was okay and all the nice wonderful things that I tend to act on.

As the pain healed and patience played its part, she got better. And well, that brings us to two nights ago when she returned to good health. We were so happy to see each other again but, sadly, we rebuild our intimacy. She is barely around anymore but, I still continue to contact her, keeping her up to date and shower her with my charm, my poetry, and songs like I always have been, sharing our affectionate nature.

And now, I return to you, my multiply family. I missed you all soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.

My dearest Keka, Ash, Chan Chan, Hannah, Sara, Jessica, Cass, Arya, Sach chan, and well, just about every last one of you, I miss.

So thats my big story, there is more but, I'll leave it all our for now. Its quite romantic, yes. But, I don't know if I should speak of it... ... ... ... ... ... ... just teasing and kidding. I might tell you the romantic part of the story.

To you in Grey, my dear...

2009-12-03T16:29:00.000-08:00

This here is the title to my report that I haven't started yet, on the ever-so greatest, actually the most awesome, sadistic, sorrowful band of all... yes, you guess it... Dir en Grey.

In short, I will write about how great of an impact Diru has on their listeners and newcomers, basically, I'm writing a full story, I guess you could say. But also, on Tohru, our incrediblly awesome vocalist, and how their music draws us in and affects it has on us, mainly, our emotions and such.

I'm sure you get the picture. I have done this kind of thing, rarely but, I'm a writer after all. This is my cure for the Writers Block I have.

But of course, I dedicate this upcoming report to my MP family. Be wary of my next post with the exact title, translated from their band name, "To you in Grey, my dear..."

D'espairsRay vs Dir en grey

2009-11-30T13:09:00.000-08:00

I noticed how both of these bands have made a name for themselves in America. Diru may have existed long before Despa and toured more in the US but after last years Taste Of Chaos Tour '08, Despa has risen high on the music chart for rock pop and metal categories. It took just that tour in my hometown, Norfolk, Virginia for them to become one of the best Jrock bands in the US period alongside the Jpop queen, Utada Hikaru. Despa's music seems to be making more sales as Diru's spot remains empty at the moment. Im just loving REEDEMER and havent stopped listening to the entire CD thanks to HotTopic reminding me that Despa and Diru are still the greatest. I ran across REDEEMER today and with the biggest smile, half the money from last weeks paycheck was spent on it. 20 bucks total plus tax. Diru's Dozing Green hasn't been available for a while but Despa continues to take over the store shelves as I roam the likes of fye, Wherehouse Music, and Hot Topic altogether. Sadly no other Jrock or Vkei looks available.

Bad News For All Us Power Ranger Fans

2009-10-17T07:00:00.000-07:00

This is from Fox News:
"LIGHTS OUT FOR 'POWER RANGERS'
THE plug has been pulled on the once-mighty "Power Rangers."

After 17 years, Disney has stopped producing new episodes of the show that was a pop-culture touchstone of the '90s.

Apparently, the five color-coded superheroes - Green Ranger, Red Ranger, Blue Ranger, etc. - are still selling a lot of toys, but have become pass� as a TV show.

There was no official word from Disney, which owns the show. But the cast and crew were informed that the show has been dropped, according to reports in the local papers in New Zealand, where the series has been produced since 2003.

The show will likely still be on the air for some time - in repeats. But no new ones will be made.

The series, about superheroes who can don and doff their costumes instantaneously to fight the bad guys, was based on a Japanese series.

It began as "The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" on Saturday mornings on Fox in 1993 and moved to ABC and Disney's kids cable channels in 2003.

The show, while hardly controversial, did have its detractors.

Some local stations dropped it from their Saturday morning lineups in 2006 when the FCC said the rock-'em-sock-'em series did not comply with government requirements to air a certain number of hours of educational programming each week."

Korean movies that never get old or boring...

2009-08-22T09:35:00.000-07:00

The Host. I love this movie soooo so much. I've had this movie since it came out on DVD. One of the funniest, yet, the most ridiculous movies ever.

Those of you who haven't seen it should. So, here's a full plot of the movie, and I mean, I'm going to give you a full plot.

The film opens with an American military pathologist commanding a reluctant Korean assistant to violate protocol by dumping over 100 bottles of formaldehyde down the drain, which leads to the Han River. A few years later, two men are standing and fishing in Han River when one discovers a mutant amphibian which is never shown. He releases the palm-sized creature when it bites him. Four more years later, a man commits suicide by jumping off a bridge into Han River, but not before noticing that there's "something dark, underwater."

In the present day, Park Gang-du (Song Kang-ho) is a seemingly slow-witted man (his father claims he had been that way since a hit on the head many years earlier) who runs a snack-bar with his father, Hee-bong (Byeon Hee-bong). Hyun-seo (Ko Ah-seong) is a schoolgirl and Gang-du's daughter. Gang-du's sister, Nam-joo (Bae Doona), is a national medalist archer who has an unfortunate tendency to hesitate, and his brother Nam-il (Park Hae-il) is an alcoholic former activist who has not done much since graduating from university.

Gang-du is delivering a meal to some patrons, and sees a crowd gathering along Han River. He joins them as they stand near the side of the river and point at something under the Wonhyo Bridge. It is the creature, now grown. It drops into the water, and moves towards shore. Gang-du throws a can of beer into the water near it, and the creature grabs for the can. The other people nearby then begin to playfully toss other pieces of food to it, but the creature disappears from view. A few moments later, the creature appears on shore behind them, and begins to attack and devour people. Gang-du and an American man try to fight the creature, and successfully hit it with a street sign. The creature then bites off the American's arm. As Gang-du runs away, he sees Hyun-seo emerge from the snack bar and grabs her hand without stopping. He then stumbles and unwittingly grabs a different girl. A short distance away, he looks back and sees the creature pull Hyun-seo into the river. Gang-du then sees the monster dragging her on the opposite bank before disappearing into the water.

As the family mourns the young girl in a shelter set up for victims of the attack, government representatives in yellow bio-hazard suits arrive and demand to know who has had direct contact with the creature. Gang-du admits that he has, and the family is forced to the hospital, where Gang-du is quarantined. The Korean government announces that the creature is not only a direct danger, but also the host of a deadly, unknown virus that they claim killed the American whose arm had been bitten off. Gang-du receives a phone call from Hyun-seo, who is not dead, but trapped in a sewer. She is cut off as her cellphone battery runs out. Gang-du tries to explain to others, but his explanation sounds more insane than sane to the people at the hospital. Hee-bong believes his son, and uses up his life savings so that they can escape from the hospital and rescue Hyun-seo. They are then able to obtain a truck, two non-yellow hazmat suits, weapons, and a map of the sewer system around the Han River.

The family search the sewers to no avail. They return to their snack stand at the banks of the Han river to rest for the night. They wake to find the creature watching them. Hee-bong fires on the creature, causing it to attack them and overturn the snack stand. As the creature tries to get at them inside, Hee-bong fires a shot that causes the creature to flee. Hee-bong, Gang-du & Nam-il give chase, firing wildly. Hee-bong is eventually killed by the creature, and Gang-du is captured by soldiers; Nam-il and Nam-joo escape but are separated.

In the hospital, Gang-du overhears that there is no virus: the government is merely perpetuating a charade to save face. The American scientist who lets out the secret claims that Gang-du is infected in the brain. A team of doctors perform a frontal lobotomy on Gang-du. Afterwards, a nurse mocks the seemingly brain-damaged and unresponsive Gang-du. He suddenly takes her hostage with a syringe full of his "infected" blood, his "slow-wittedness" apparently cured by the lobotomy, and escapes to find that he is not in a hospital, but the back of a military truck on the Han River shores. He drives to Wonhyo Bridge in an ambulance.

Hyun-seo has been trapped in a deep sewer pit since she was spit out by the creature. The creature periodically drops off victims into the pit, to store for later. Hyun-seo finds all the others dead or dying except for a young street urchin named Se-ju. Nam-il goes to a college friend for help, and traces Hyun-seo's phone call. He is betrayed for reward money, but cleverly escapes. Before losing consciousness under a bridge, he sends a text message with Hyun-seo's location to Nam-joo. Nam-Joo goes to the bridge, but comes across the creature. She is near enough that she has a shot, but just as she has the creature in her sights, she hesitates. The creature runs past her and she is knocked unconscious. Hyun-seo tries to climb out of the sewer by a rope fashioned from her and other victims' clothes, but the creature snatches her and places her back on her feet. The camera cuts to black as the creature pounces on her and Se-ju.

Gang-du discovers the feeding pit only in time to see the creature dashing away with a child's arm dangling from its mouth. He chases it on land as it dives into the river. Nam-il wakes to see a homeless man who has been tending to him, and with the man's help and liquor, he makes several Molotov cocktails and together they take a taxi to the Wonhyo Bridge. Nam-joo also awakes. She sees the creature and Gang-du run past her and follows them. The three siblings are led to the riverbank, where the creature attacks demonstrators protesting the government's use of Agent Yellow - a chemical weapon highly harmful to humans - against the creature (and non-existent virus). Police press back the demonstrators, trying to hold them back. The crowd finally disperses as the creature comes near to the shoreline. All three siblings meet up briefly on top of the bridge, but Gang-Du leaps from the bridge to chase the creature.

Agent Yellow is released and incapacitates the creature temporarily. Pushing through the poisonous fumes, Gang-du pulls out the two seemingly lifeless children from the creature's mouth. Hyun-Seo had grabbed the other child and had avoided being fully swallowed by grabbing onto a large tooth but the three siblings discover she has died. The creature revives and tries to return to the river. Enraged, Gang-du grabs a street sign and begins to battle the creature. Nam-il also begins to throw Molotov cocktails at it that he had prepared previously. The creature, apparently terrified of fire, continues to flee. The homeless man whom Nam-il met appears and douses the creature in gasoline, but Nam-il accidentally drops his last bottle as he attempts to throw. Nam-joo picks up one of the lit fragments with her arrow and shoots it into the creature's eye, causing it to burst into flames, screaming in agony. The creature makes a last attempt to flee towards the protection of the river, but Gang-du finally impales it with a street sign.

As Nam-joo and Nam-il cradle their dead niece, Gang-du manages to revive Se-ju. In the epilogue, we see Gang-du and Se-ju living as a family in the rebuilt and cozy-looking snack bar, sometime in the winter. One night Gang-du believed he saw something move outside. He gets his rifle but then sets it down, believing it was his imagination. A televised US Senate press release - claiming that the Korean "disease crisis" was caused by "misinformation" - is drowned out by their conversation. The child asks him to turn it off, as he finds it boring, and they eat dinner.

I have nearly killed this movie just watching it over and over and over and over and over again.

Everything about this movie makes you wonder WTF!! and just have a good laugh about it. The characters, especially Gang du, the main character, the dumbest of them all. He is just, how can I say. Stupid, but that's what makes him so funny.

I love the dad in this movie, he is the most funniest of them all eventhough he doesn't really do much, especially Nam il... and the sister, Nam joo, the slowest of them all. That makes up the most loser family of all.

Want to talk about a great director, Boon Joon Ho is one of the greatest for a horror/somewhat comedy type of film. I've seen his previous works and yet, with the same cast, and this one is the best ever.

Untitled Poem #1

2009-08-22T08:20:00.000-07:00

Wish I was never here, this life of mine, I don't care
Sit with my head down in the cradled position, knife firmly in my hand
Tears pouring like rain, blood kept still on my wrist
If I died I won't be missed.
Because I am hated, my life is ill-fated,
Constantly being ignored
I hate my life, I hate this soul, this body created and borrowed
So distant, yet I'd rather I was dead, even my family doesn't care
The one favorite I've chosen has been pulled away
This black void has emptied, sorrow has returned once again.

I've been feeling highly fatigued lately...

2009-08-21T08:50:00.000-07:00

Mood: fatigued Listening to: XodiacK - Kimi no koe

It is as if I'm going to pass out or something. I don't know. I've tried seeing if it was me being tired or something but, I look at my spinning mood ring and it's been black for a while and it's not me being tired at all. Yesterday, I'd been feeling like my heart is pushing hard to keep me stable. This all started after I finished up with making these fanmail runs to Hikaru Utada and feeling encouraged by everyone here.

Again, I don't know what it is. I have nearly $200 but, I'm saving it for something more, eventhough I still need to get checked up at a doctors office or clinic. I'm going to continue to fight this off no matter what. But, I may have some kind of illness that keeps making my heart feel so heavy all the time.

I have fought it for so long, I guess this is a sign, saying that my body is ready to give in... but whenever I'm ready.

If only there was some kind of way I could put myself in cryogenetic sleep, I'd do it. Maybe then, when I wake up years after, I'd feel better. I slept, waking up, feeling really weakened.

November 1st, 2008 Just thought I'd share an random entry from my journal

2009-08-20T04:57:00.000-07:00

Well, like wisely... so much for family. My oldest sister, Kelly, she's been here since September and well, I've gotten the thought that she is my ticket out of this hellhole, but apparently, her fiance's parents are supposed to be looking for a place for them in Philadelphia until they get their own place. Once that happens, I'm stuck here AGAIN for the "fifteen hundredth" time.

What is so wrong that I can't even take my own life? I've tried slicing my wrist open plenty of times and more, I even pushed down hard as hell to the point where's that I could feel the pain while doing so. I went fast and I went slow, but the outcome is always the same. No scar, no nothing, not even a single drop or sight of blood. I HATE living. Between writing this shit and thinking about it makes me want to burst out in tears.

Wendy thinks that she's going to keep me here likw a prisoner, she'd better think again. Kelly on the otherhand, I'd love the thought of her taking me in, so comes the time I get back onto my feet and well, basically get out in the world. I really don't like thinking about it because I love my niece, Callise to death and want to play every part of it. I don't want to miss a single event. It already came down to the fact that I baby herr but, I wouldn't say that. It's called being an uncle. In my case, one of the best.

I no longer want to be the outsider, but it's permanent. A permanent characteristic, personalized with pain, and sorrow, endlessly.

"Moments of dejection drops us into a pool of loneliness
The soul pulls back, and mourns alone. Nothing seems to hold against the drop,
and yet, everything counts for nothing.
We feel ourselves curiously depersonalized, very far away. Exiled.
No connection anywhere. The spirit of loneliness has taken over.
We have become mere numbers, isolated with an emotion,
symptomatic of victimization.
We are victims of a wrong way of life."

There is no simple word of defining me but there is a name.... Aria Of Sorrow. That's my name.

WHAT is TrUE HAPPINESS

2009-08-20T04:25:00.000-07:00

True happiness is a feeling
It spreads like a disease.
There was a time when I found it
But, I lost it with ease.

True happiness is an emotion
Sometimes it means nothing to me.
I have always been a loner
An emotion I sometimes don't need.

This poem. turned into negativety
To care less is what I do.
True happiness is nothing
It isn't even true.

Here's a thought on a piece of my research. How do you detect emotions?

2009-08-20T03:56:00.000-07:00

A couple of years ago, I did research on emotions eventhough I already knew so much about it but here is what I stumbled upon during that time...

"Americans detect a person's emotions by looking at his or her mouth, says a new study. Other cultures, like the Japanese focus more on the eyes."

Isn't that quite interesting or what?

I don't focus on the mouth, I focus on the eyes but, at the same time, I can read emotions through words too. Be it typed or spoken. Spoken words, I can sometimes look behind the sound of a persons voice, but that doesn't mean I'm focusing on the mouth. It's sound.

Here is a fun way to make up your own Japanese Name, but by the letters in your own name...

2009-08-19T08:15:00.000-07:00

A = ka, B = zu, C = mi, D = te, E = ku, F = lu = G = ji, H = ri, I = ki, J = zu, K = me, L = ta, M = rin, N = to, O = mo, P = no, Q = ke, R = shi, S = ari, T = chi,U = do, V = ru, W = mei, X = na, Y = fu, Z = zi

The ravens can be well relied upon for all kind of ideas and opinions, as they are not only realistic but also diplomatic. These people are always full of energy and remain active throughout the day. If you are a Crow individual, then you are born at the 'Time of Falling Leaves'. Crow people have certain distinctions and peculiarities of their own - like, the direction which suit you people the best is Southwest; and it is the West winds that brings you luck and your conventional totem animal is the grizzly bear. As far as your emotions are concerned, you are sensitive; justice is one of the most important factors for you people and you always try to be fair and just in all your dealings. Injustice and dishonesty are something that is not tolerated by the Ravens at any cost. You folks are basically friendly, good-natured individual and have a charming and an appealing approach; romantic, idealistic and diplomatic are the keywords, ich describes you best. What require attention are your determination, perseverance, inspiration and your impartiality. You feel likfe is all about harmonizing and thus the Crow people always try to bring harmony and balance in whatever they do.

[Recap of Last Chapter/Episode...]

[Inside the Main Office. We hear the sound of a door opening as Commander Takarai, troubled, leaps to his feet.]

Takarai: (surprised) Rangers! I'm so glad to see that you all have made it in one piece.

[Amami and Shinji walk Kamui to a seat, and help him sit down as the others seat themselves.]

Takarai: What happened to the Lieutenant?

Kamui: It's a long story. I was captured by one of Lord Tahmazians outlanders while Squad Zero was in training. (to Squad Zero) By the way guys and girls, what happened while I was gone?

Amami: Couldn't really figure it out but, it seemed like the entire facility had evacuated. There were no survivors to be located.

Shinji: And, we fought off an army of Outlanders inside the exercise area, Miko and I.

Amami: Meanwhile, we got into it with Zanuff and his sister, Zedekiah. By the way Lieutenant, are we still in training, by any chance?

Kamui: I don't know, just yet. You might have been monitored throughout surveillance. (pulls up sleeve, revealing watch) Let me check. (to watch) Testing Ground surveillance!

[A hologram is present upon the device with a lot of information and data. An image is present upon an LCD screen, nearest the Commanders desk, revealing previous events of earlier, showing everything that happened after the short abduction of Lieutenant Kamui and comes to a pause after the battle between the rangers and the villainous siblings with Zanuff and Amami shaking hands.]

Kamui: (facing Squad Zero) I must say, I'm quite impressed with all of you. You did a great job, despite the simulations. This is something -more- realistic. (to Miko) You are quite skilled but could use a tad bit of work on your skills as a kunoichi, -if- a highly trained lady ninja is your entitlement. (to Maki) Precious Maki, my precious, you could use some more training if you want to become a strong ranger. (to the Halseth Brothers) Need I say anything about the two of you? You two are by far inseparable. It seems that when the two of you are together, you are an unstoppable force. This is what I call team work, but, you -could- help out your new teammates a little.

Shinji: But of course we -are- brothers.

Amami: That is why Squad -Zero- is unbeatable.

Kamui: To make matters more simple, I believe you all have a job to do. Your training is over for now, but you have a long way to go. (to Amami) By the way, Amami, I have someone you'd like to meet. (to Miko) I'm sure Miko doesn't have a problem?

[Inside Lord Tahmazian's Lair. Inside, Lord Tahmazian walks to his throne room, as Zanuff and Zedekiah follow.]

Tahmazian: (outraged) I can't -believe- you let those idiots lives. And what's this? (turns to Zanuff and shakes hand, scoffing, making a mockery) Hey there, Red Ranger, wanna be friends? Let's shake hands. Pfft! (turns away and continues walking to throne room) What was that all about? I oughta kick you back to Mars.

Zedekiah: (cosigning) Yeah! I'd say. And besides, I'm no sucker to friendship.

Tahmazian: (entering throne room and sitting upon throne) Yeah, sure.

Monsoon (O.S.): Tahmazian, my lord. (approaches the throne) Your son has ceased his dose. What shall I do?

Tahmazian: Well, what do -you- think you should do, Monsoon.

Monsoon: Right! I'll bring him to you.

[Monsoon exits the throne room as Tahmazian sits despondently.]

Tahmazian: (thinking position, softly) I wonder why Taiga has ceased his dosage. And yet, I guess making an early attack was not such a good idea after all. But, you're not scot free, Zanuff.

[Taiga appears, standing beneath the entrance to the Throne Room. Looking back, he spots Monsoon who is seemingly breathing down the back of his neck, and backhands him. Monsoon scampers away, whimpering.]

Taiga: What is it, father?

Tahmazian: Monsoon tells me that you have ceased your dose. Why have you done such thing?

Taiga: I'm feeling better. I have no need for that wretched, foul tasting stuff you call medicine. (sniffs and breathes in the air freely) ah, but my, I can breathe again.

Zanuff (O.S.): Tahmazian has a -son-? He never told -me- that. And besides, he looks like a -girl-.

[Zanuff smiles out of laughter.]

Tahmazian: (looks at Zanuff, irritably) What's so funny, Zanuff?

Zanuff: (straightens face) Oh, nothing. Just thought of something.

Tahmazian: What was funny? I'm -all- up for your -jokes-. Entertain me.

[Zanuff prepares himself.]

Zanuff: Okay, you asked for it. (clears throat) Have you ever heard the story about an evil ruler who has a sick son who looks like a girl?

[Zanuff snickers as Zedekiah bursts with laughter.]

Zanuff: (oncoming laughter) Oh no, I think I've done it now.

Taiga: (looks at Zanuff with disappointment) Hey!

[Tahmazian's mouth drops open, exiting the thinking position, dramatically looking at Zanuff in shock.]

[A beautiful shot of planet Earth.]

[Somewhere on planet Earth. It is now in midday.]

Tahmazian (O.S.): Aaargghh!! Zanuff!

Zanuff (O.S.): (uncontrollable laughter) Oh no! I better get out of here!

[We hear the sounds of lasers being fired, apparently hitting Zanuff who is laughing painfully.]

Tahmazian (O.S.): Get -back- here you, imprudent -ignoramus-! I'm not -finished- with you -yet-.

[Cross-over to Deserted Area. Sunset. Across the sunset, Amami, Miko and Lieutenant Kamui are outside somewhere, walking.]

Miko: You know something! This is the first time I've actually been away from my husband.

Amami: Husband!?

Miko: We've been together for a good amount of years. No, he's not my husband. At least not yet anyway.

Kamui: Yu-to Halseth. He's one of Holy Alliance's cocksure cock-a-hoop's.

Amami: (laughs) Cocksure cock-a-hoop. I just learned a new word. That's pretty funny.

Kamui: (chuckles) It seems you have a bit of a sense of humor there. Yeah, he's quite the cocky one but, one of Holy Alliance's best, just like you and your brother. Trust me, you'll like him. Besides that, you kinda resemble him in a way, but differently, like he's your -

Yu-to (O.S.): Long lost brother? (to Miko) Hey there, babe.

Miko: (hugs Yu-to) Yu-to. It's been quite a while.

Kamui: Yu-to. Might I ask, what exactly brings you out here?

Yu-to: Nothing much. Just training my body as usual.

Amami: I'm Amami Halseth.

[Amami holds out his fist.]

Yu-to: (spikes fist) Yu-to Halseth.

Amami: I know.

Yu-to: So, there's another Halseth around. Like anime?

Amami: Addicted to it.

Yu-to: You spar?

Amami: All day.

Yu-to: We're related.

Amami: I can tell a Halseth from a Halseth and you, Yu-to, are a Halseth. I knew it from the start. (points at nose) Cat-scratch nose just like mine.

Yu-to: Wolf?

Amami: Tiger!

Yu-to: We are so related.

Kamui: OK! Enough with the comparison already! So you're related. We've got work to do.

[Crossover to Dark Alliance HQ with pink and black colors. Shinji and Maki are walking side-by-side.]

Shinji: So, I've noticed that my brother has a thing for you.

Maki: He asked me out. I hope he's not hurt by my reply.

Shinji: Oh, you haven't seen the last of him. He doesn't give up so easily.

Maki: He's sensitive, isn't he?

Shinji: Well, yeah.

Maki: I have a boyfriend already.

Shinji: I won't tell you what to do, but it's up to you if you want to put up with him. He's my oldest and yet, -only- brother, so I have to.

Maki: You have nothing to worry about. I won't hurt him.

Shinji: I would advise you not to anyway, even though I could care less. But like I said, it's up to you. Amami is not your average people person. He's very mysterious and yet, easy to love and get along with.

Maki: But, what if I -do- hurt him and he cries?

Shinji: I highly doubt that he will. He is, at some point heartless. Never sheds a tear.

Maki: Everybody sheds a tear every once in a while.

Shinji: Well, except for that time he and I got into an argument. It wasn't a verbal one at that either. It was completely physical. Any kind of tension we have towards one another ends up that way. We never talk it out. He's got a lot of anger and detestation built inside of him, though, from what I know. Either way, we read each other like a book. We stick together regardless.

Maki: Yeah, but it seems likely to -me- that he never really gets angry at -all-. There -must- be more to him than you -already- know.

Shinji: Oh, trust me. When you're around our family. He can be a real demon.

Maki: So is that what all that fire is about? His anger?

Shinji: That and his passion. There's more to it but he loves the thought of fire. It's all about death and destruction when it comes down to his craziness. Just don't get him to that point.

Maki: But, he seems so calm and peaceful.

Shinji: I know. He's like a hippy. But when his boiling point has been breached, he's like a hippy gone mad. But he's not on drugs or anything like that, so that's a plus.

Maki: Do you think that he will have a problem with you telling me anything about him?

Shinji: Amami isn't like anybody else. He doesn't care what anyone says or thinks about him. He's just that good of a person to let the world slide with words. And besides that, he wants the world to know who he is. To know him and what he's about.

[Crossover to an exterior shot of the Holy Alliance Headquarters, precisely nightfall.]

[Nearest the entrance, a sorrowful figure leans up against the corridor with his head lowered. Amami, who looks as if something were bothering him.]

[Yu-to occurs, approaching Amami.]

Yu-to: Hey, Amami, something bothering you?

Amami: No not really, just got a lot on my mind.

Yu-to: Wanna go sparing?

Amami: Sure.

[Into the Dark Chamber. A dark chamber is portrayed. Two battle-ready figures, Amami and Yu-to stand firm facing each other.]

Amami: It's pretty dark in here. Just the way I like it.

Yu-to: So I see you like the darkness, eh, Amami?

Amami: I guess you could say that.

Yu-to: So, why don't we (enters battle stance) get this over with?

Amami: Way ahead of you. (places left hand into pocket) Whenever you're ready.

Yu-to: (exits battle stance) I see your stance. Looks like I won't be able to figure out (re-enters battle stance and throws an attack at Amami and misses) your -moves-!

Amami: (swiftly leaps away) Exactly. It seems you already have me figured out. But, not for long!

[Yu-to attacks Amami fiercely and misses again as Amami repeatedly dodges his attacks, quickly gets an attack in.]

Yu-to: Why aren't you attacking!

Amami: It's simple. You, as a Wolf, tend to attack freely and carelessly, just trying to hit your opponent, regardless of standards. But me, as a Tiger, I get the first strike. I await the first attack, looking for that opening, reading my adversary by his attacks. Do you feel your side burning a little?

Yu-to: (strokes side, feeling the heat, grin) That's truly clever... for a -kitten-!

Amami: Was that an insult? You half-breed!

Yu-to: That's -it-! You're mine, you stupid feline.

[Like playing a game of tag, Amami continuously dodges every attack, repeating the same process with quick attacks.]

[Miko, mysteriously appearing on sight, seats herself in a distance watching the battle.]

[Weapons Lab. Somewhere inside of the Holy Alliance Headquarters, Lieutenant Kamui is working on a project labeled "Metempsychosis Assault Weapons System", typing on a keyboard in front of a huge LCD screen that shows images and data in which looks like Zords.]

Kamui: (chuckles) Boy, are these outlanders in for a surprise. After I finish making preparations to these weapons, they won't know what hit them.

[Cut back over to Amami and Yu-to who are, at this time, still sparing. We see the two fighters performing attacks of their own.]

[Amami blocks an attack from Yu-to who throws his fist at Amami with force, he evades the attack with a single twirl in the air, landing on one knee and charging at Yu-to, holding out his hand as if equipped with a weapon and launches an attack with the other hand pulling the other back, making a hit towards Greg's face.]

[Greg takes the attack, lip busted, blood spilled, curling himself into the fetal position with his head facing the ground, then suddenly bursting out of the position letting out a wolf cry as if howling at the moon and leaps instantly into the air and through the ceiling.

[Amami looks in the direction of the shortly damaged celing.]

[Miko leaps to her feet running towards Amami, peering at the dark blue sky.]

Miko: You must've drawn first blood. I would suggest that you stick around for a while.

Amami: You're right, but I can't turn away from a battle like this. Until next time?

[Recap of Last Chapter/Episode...]

INT. EXERCISE AREA

[Testing Ground. Maki is now on the battleground.]

[An Outlander kicks her. She backs away for space and pulls out the halberd, striking away at the Outlanders in her view with attacks of her own.]

[One of the Outlanders deliver a hard punch to Maki's back. She stumbles forward from the force of the blow and foolishly bumps into another Outlander.]

[A loud rumble is heard throughout the exercise area, everything comes to a halt as Squad Zero regroup. Red warning lights in the entire facility shut on.]

Announcer: System failure. Transporting model number 2.4.3 into the area. All machines are currently disabled. Transporting model number 6.2.9 into the area.

[The models transport into the exercise area as the entrance to the vicinity closes slowly.]

[Lieutenant Kamui bangs onto the plastic interior in a panicky state as he is pulled away by an unknown figure.]

[It is sudden that a full army of Outlanders appear into the scene surrounding the Squad.]

[Fire lights up in Amami's eyes.]

Amami: I smell trouble.

Shinji: It might be that fire in your eyes.

[The fire in his eyes dance as he smiles.]

Amami: (smiling) Really funny.

Miko: Idiots!

Maki: Guys, this is no time for joking around!

Amami: (straightening his face) I guess you're right. (looks at the entrance) The entrance is closing on us. We better hurry before we're trapped in here.

Shinji: You and Maki go ahead, Miko and I will hold them off.

Maki amd Amami: Are you sure?

Miko and Shinji: Go already!

[Maki and Amami rush out of the exercise area as the entrance fully closes.]

[Shinji and Miko stand side by side in battle stance.]

Shinji: This is going to be one crazy battle.

[Shadow-like vapor clouds Shinji's eyes.]

[A green light emits in Miko's eyes as they imperceptibly vibrate as if wind were blowing upon them.]

Miko: You can say that again.

[Cross-over to the Testing Ground.]

[The two rangers, Amami and Maki stop in their tracks.]

Amami: We have to split up and see if there are any survivors around.

Maki: Okay. Be safe.

Amami: You do the same.

[Maki hugs Amami. Amami hesitantly hugs Maki back. It is then that they split up.]

[To Mountainous Region. Sunset. Zanuff despondently walks around in circles.]

Zanuff: What am I going to do? If I fail again, I'm a goner. So much for being a liegeman!

[Zanuff kicks rocks as a hologram of Lord Tahmazian appears before him in the sky.]

Tahmazian: Zanuff! What are you doing?

Zanuff: I'm thinking up a plan on destroying the alliance.

Tahmazian: Who's responsible for the attack on the Testing Ground?

Zanuff: (jumps hesitantly, in a state of falsehood) T-That would be my doing, my liege.

Tahmazian: Oh really. It looks like to me, you're hiding out. Are you not?

Zanuff: O-Of course not. I'm waiting for the new rangers to arrive. The Dark Alliance is getting some today. They should be in training.

Tahmazian: New Rangers! Oh, well, this should be good. I want you to go to the Testing Ground right away.

[The hologram fades away.]

Zanuff: Whatever you say my liege. Whatever you say.

[Zanuff sits in the thinking position.]

Zanuff: Maybe I should get some help. Hmm. (snaps his finger and stands up, snickering) I got it. The -rangers- are in for it now!

[Back to Exercise Area. Miko and Shinji. Shinji is thrown against the wall as Miko is getting pummeled to the ground.]

Shinji: (low) I could use some of Amami's help but he and Maki are off somewhere.

Miko: Shinji, are you alright?

Shinji: (shaking himself off) Never better. Shadow Ranger! (morphs instantly, enters battle stance) It's just about that time!

[Shadow Ranger rushes over to Miko and helps her up, pushing the Outlanders out of the way.]

Miko: Zephyr Ranger! (morphs instantly) Next time, they won't get away with that kind of attack.

[Zephyr Ranger enters battle stance. She fends off against an Outlander, dodging its attack and slashes her opponent with a kunai dagger.]

[Shadow Ranger tosses an Outlander against the wall and instantly rushes to it, smashing his opponent, leaving a print of the Outlander on the wall.]

[An Outlander slaps Shadow Ranger in the back of his head, or in this case, his helmet.]

Shadow Ranger: You know something. I may have a helmet over my head, but that still (elbows the Outlander in the nose) -hurt-!

[Zephyr Ranger pummels an Outlander into the ground.]

Zephyr Ranger: Now this is what I call payback.

[Zephyr Ranger stands on the Outlander and does a back-flip, landing on top of the Outlanders gut.]

Zephyr Ranger: That was (checks the Outlanders chin with foot) -fun-!

[Zephyr and Shadow Ranger meet back-to-back.]

Zephyr Ranger: Hey Shinji, your brother? He reminds me of my soul mate, but in a different kind of manner. The whole thing about Tigers, you know.

Shadow Ranger: Relates to Wolves, I know. That's a sudden surprise. You're not falling for my brother, are you?

Zephyr Ranger: In your dreams, Shinji. No way.

[Outlanders close in on the two.]

[Testing Ground. Throughout the facility, Amami and Maki meet, nearly bumping each other.]

Amami: You find any survivors.

Maki: It seems like they have evacuated.

Amami: Then we're the only ones left in the facility.

Maki: Pretty much.

[Amami and Maki stare into each others eyes.]

Amami: You're beautiful.

Maki: (blushes) Thanks.

Amami: Wanna go out with me?

Maki: (smiles) I'm going out with someone already.

Amami: (disappointed smile) Ouch! Didn't see that coming.

[All of a sudden, Zanuff shows up. Amami and Maki face him, entering battle stance.]

Amami: It's you again. What a surprise.

Zanuff: Sorry to break up your little session but, you wouldn't happen to be the new -rangers-, would you?

Amami: Well, you got me. It seems like we were -rangers- after all. What're you doing here?

Zanuff: On a mission!

Amami: Still taking orders from your boss. (looks at the mark on Zanuff's neck) It seems like he got you pretty good.

Zanuff: Just a little warning shot.

Amami: Looks like a final warning to me.

Zanuff: (pulling out his sword) I shall see to your defeat outside of this clutter.

[Zanuff runs off.]

Amami: Come on, we have to go after him.

[Amami runs after Zanuff as Maki follows his lead.]

[Outside of the Testing Ground. Zanuff stands beside an unknown figure.]

[Amami and Maki show up, running and stop in a sudden surprise as they spot the extra villian.]

Zanuff: Surprised are we? This here is my sister, Zedekiah. (to Zedekiah) Zedekiah, these are the -Power Rangers-.

Zedekiah: That's -preposterous-! These two are -Power Rangers-! They look more like a couple to me.

[Zanuff and Zedekiah approach the two and study them, walking in a circle.]

Zanuff: You know something, Zedekiah. I see the facts.

Zedekiah: They look like a couple, don't they?

Zanuff: Yes, as a matter of fact, come Zedekiah, walk with me.

[Zanuff and Zedekiah walk at least a mile away from Amami and Maki. It is so that they begin to argue amongst one another, face-to-face.]

Zanuff: (indistinct) Who -cares- about whether or not they look like -couples-.

Zedekiah: (indistinct) I was only -complimenting- on their -connection-. I felt something between them.

Zanuff: Oh! So now you're some sort of -psychic-. Where did our family go wrong?

Zedekiah: Ooh! I oughta! (slaps Zanuff upside his head) I'm telling mom!

[It is then that the two of them begin to argue fiercely, muttering back and forth then simultaneously.]

Amami: Can you believe that? I can.

Maki: What, that we look like a couple to them? I told you already, I'm taken.

[Maki walks away from Amami. Amami shakes his head.]

Amami: (low) Assuming things so quickly. That's not even what I was trying to say!

[Back to Exercise Area. Shinji and Miko are worn out. The models explained before are down for the count.]

Shinji: I wonder whose idea was it to tell those two that they should leave?

Miko: Yours and pretty much likely the both of ours, but mostly yours.

Shinji: (chuckles) It's all my fault, right?

Miko: (chuckles) If you say so. Let's get out of here.

Shinji: Right behind you. Beast Gauntlet!

[A black vapor-like fire covers Shinji's left hand as he charges towards the door and slams his fist into it, breaking the door down in the process.]

Shinji: (impressed) I'm beginning to like this stuff already.

Miko: We've got to hurry before those things wake up.

Shinji: (looks back at the models) You're right. Let's go.

[Shinji and Miko quickly evacuate the Exercise Area.]

[Back outside of the Testing Ground. On the Testing Ground, Maki approaches Zanuff and Zedekiah, who are continuously bickering back and forth to one another.]

Maki: Um, hey guys!

Villains: (at the top of their lungs) WHAT!!

Maki: Don't you have a job to do, or are you two just going to stand there and -fight- all day, when you should be -trying- to destroy the -rangers- and whatever else it is you have to do.

Zedekiah: Oh, right! I almost forgot.

[Zedekiah pulls out a whistle made of the wood and divining rods of Alder.]

Zedekiah: I shall call upon the North Wind.

[A fireball shoots out of nowhere and splits up, whacking the two villainous siblings in the face, causing Zedekiah to drop the whistle in the process.]

Villains: Ouch!

Amami (O.S.): That was supposed to just hit Zanuff! Sorry! Come on, I want to fight!

Zedekiah: (sniffs the after burning smell) That smells like burning alder.

Amami: (approaches Zedekiah) And that -looks- like alder.

[Amami covers himself inflames.]

Zedekiah: I smell it all over you. Where were you born?

Amami: Just a little place called earth. (grabs hold of the whistle) I'll take -that-.

Zedekiah: You insolent fool! How -dare- you!

Maki: You and your brother -just- don't give in, do you? You have to play around.

Amami: (laughs) Why not! We like having fun. Sure, I take work seriously but, if not for my maintaining of a youthful approach to almost everything...

[Amami shrugs shoulders.]

Shinji (O.S.): Amami!

Amami: (chuckles) And speak of the devil.

[Shinji and Miko show up.]

Shinji: So, I see you brought a friend with you this time, eh, Zanuff?

Zedekiah: I'm his sister you buffoon.

Amami: Shall we get on with the fighting? I'm bored.

Zanuff: I thought you'd never ask. It's about time.

[The villainous siblings and Squad Zero leap away from each other and enter battle stance.]

Squad Zero: Spirit Morpher Revolutionize!

[The Morphing Sequence begins.]

Amami: Red Inferno Ranger!

Shinji: Black Shadow Ranger!

Maki: Pink Seismic Ranger!

Miko: Green Zephyr Ranger!

[Squad Zero morph into their designations.]

[The Rangers enter battle stance as does the villainous siblings.]

Zanuff: What a show! Sorry it has to be cancelled!

Zedekiah: You tenderfoots are going -down-!

[The siblings and Rangers charge at each other.]

[Into Lord Tahmazian's Lair. Lord Tahmazian sits on his throne as usual. A monster, Monsoon, walks into the throne room with Lieutenant Kamui and shoves him to his knees beneath Tahmazian.]

Tahmazian: (looks down at Lieutenant Kamui and leaves his throne) Well, what do we have here. Lieutenant (kicks Kamui in gut) -Kamui-!

Kamui: (groans) We meet again, Agamemnon.

[Lord Tahmazian, or as of now, known as Agamemnon, grabs hold of Lieutenant Kamui and lifts him up off the ground.]

Tahmazian: What's this I hear about new -rangers-? And, don't worry. I won't hurt you.

Kamui: Don't you think it's a little too early to be making these kind of attacks?

[Tahmazian tosses Lieutenant Kamui to the floor like trash.]

Tahmazian: A little too -early-, huh? My liegeman is already up there on his way to -destroy- those rangers.

Kamui: What if I told you that they are unstoppable.

Tahmazian: Well then, we'll just have to see about that.

Kamui: And besides, they're still in training, leave them alone.

[Back to Testing Ground. The siblings and the Rangers are going at it.]

[Inferno and Shadow Ranger are fending off against Zanuff. Zanuff swings at Inferno Ranger and misses as Inferno Ranger ducks from the attack and strikes him in the gut.]

[Shadow Ranger jumps in the air and zips back and forth, in and out of Zanuff's body, striking him repeatedly.]

[Seismic and Zephyr Ranger are fending off against Zedekiah. Seismic Ranger karate chops Zedekiah as Zephyr Ranger kicks her in the butt.]

[Zanuff and Zedekiah group up.]

Zanuff: I see how you all want to play.

[Doubles of Zanuff and Zedekiah appear beside each other.]

Zanuff: Now it's two on two!

Inferno Ranger: (enters battle stance) Fine by me. (to Shadow Ranger) I'll take on the real one. You go after his double.

Shadow Ranger: (enters battle stance) They still won't stand a chance against us.

Inferno Ranger: Ha! You got that right. Let's do it.

[Inferno and Shadow Ranger part ways, charging after the Zanuff and the double.]

[Inferno Ranger's position.]

Inferno Ranger: So, it's me against you, Zanuff.

Zanuff: Yeah, I guess so.

Inferno Ranger: Yeah, but it's just too early for all of this.

Zanuff: Blame it on that retched boss of mine.

Inferno Ranger: So, let me guess, you were sent to destroy the new rangers, huh?

Zanuff: It was sort of my doing. I said something about new rangers and my boss, well, he just sent me back up here to destroy you idiots.

Inferno Ranger: You're lucky, cause by the looks of it, we are still in training.

Zanuff: Enough talking. I'm going to -kill- you!

Inferno Ranger: If that's what you think, then so be it.

[Inferno Ranger and Zanuff charge at each other.]

[Shadow Rangers position.]

[Shadow Ranger and the Zanuff doppelganger battle it out. Shadow Ranger dodges the doppelgangers attack and leaps to the side.]

[The doppelganger slaps him in the side with the hilt of his sword.]

Shadow Ranger: (looks at side in agonizing anger, pointing at the double) You're mine!

[Shadow Ranger charges at the doppelganger and shoots at him with the DA Blaster, then slashes him in the chest with the DA Saber.]

[Seismic Rangers position.]

[Seismic Ranger gets knocked back and slashed in the arm with a whip by Zedekiah.]

Zedekiah: Come on, you're not even putting up a fight!

Seismic Ranger: Okay, so it's a fight you want then it's a fight you'll get.

[Seismic Ranger pulls out a halberd and spins it around, entering battle stance. It is then that she charges at Zedekiah.]

[Zephyr Rangers Position.]

[The Zedekiah doppelganger somersault kicks Zephyr Ranger.]

[Zephyr Ranger falls helplessly to the ground and kicks herself back up onto her feet.]

Zephyr Ranger: Zephyr Daggers!

[The daggers, deployed by Zephyr Ranger, flow fast but, gently in a way. The attack was a success. The Zedekiah doppelganger jerks back, mourning over the somewhat injury, and points at Zephyr Ranger, balling up her fist dramatically.]

Zephyr Ranger: (laughs, cocky) How do you like me now.

[Zedekiah doppelganger threatens Zephyr Ranger with the whip, beating the ground.]

Zephyr Ranger: (sarcastically) What are you going to do with that. Give me a -spanking-?

[Zedekiah doppelganger twirls the whip in the air and lashes it out at Zephyr Ranger, who pulls out her DA Blaster a second too late, knocking the blaster out of her hand.]

Zephyr Ranger: (ticked) You know, that almost -hit- my -hand-, you idiot!

[Entering battle stance, Zephyr Ranger charges at the doppelganger, dodging her every whip attack.]

[Zephyr Ranger suddenly catches the whip and yanks it away.]

[The screen splits into fours, starting with the Zephyr Rangers position going to the bottom right, revealing Inferno Rangers position going to the top left, also revealing Seismic Rangers position going to the top right and lastly, Shadow Rangers position to the bottom left.]

[In this sequence, they are all shown battling it out with their adversary.]

[Inferno Ranger is shown trading blows with Zanuff as Shadow Ranger is shown toying with the doppelganger.]

[Seismic Ranger is shown constantly beating Zedekiah with the halberd as Zephyr Ranger is shown having a showdown with the doppelganger.]

[The spilt screen ends one by one as each ranger downs their opposing adversary.]

[Starting with Seismic Ranger who strikes Zedekiah in the gut with the halberd, Shadow Ranger who leaps into the air and stomps the Zanuff doppelganger to the ground, and Zephyr Ranger who retrieves her blaster and shoots the Zedekiah doppelganger to the ground.]

[The screen goes back to its normal resolution, showing Inferno Ranger and Zanuff who leap away from each other and stand, weakened.]

Zanuff: (tired) You're tough, even without the use of your abilities.

Inferno Ranger: (tired) You're not so bad yourself. This was one heck of a battle.

[Shadow Ranger shows up on screen beside Inferno Ranger.]

Shadow Ranger: (surprised) I'm amazed to see the two of you still standing. Ha! That doppelganger was worth a battle.

Inferno Ranger: (blocking Shadow Ranger) Stay back Shinji. This is my battle.

Shadow Ranger: Tsh! Fine by me. I'm going back to HQ. (removes headgear, wiping sweat off his forehead) I'm beat.

Zanuff: Would you just go already!

[Suddenly, the other two rangers show up with Zedekiah, grabbing the gentlemen's attention.]

Zedekiah: (running beside Zanuff, exhausted) These new -rangers- are -tough-! I almost had the pink one but she crossed me up her -weapon- and beat my -whip-!

[Zanuff and Inferno Ranger, who powers down, approach one another.]

Zanuff: So, Inferno Ranger. Why don't you say we -

Zanuff and Amami: Call it a day!

Amami: Sure, why not. And besides, you're second to my brother in competition. You've gone up on my list.

Zanuff: That sounds like something good.

Amami: It is something good.

Zanuff: Normally, a Power Ranger would've actually defeated their opponent.

Amami: Well, what can I say! It seems like you weren't even attempting to defeat me anyway. Besides that, I think I may be able to trust you on a certain level. You don't seem villainous at some points.

Zanuff: How about a rematch.

[Zanuff throws out his hand. Amami looks at Zanuff's hand and shakes it.]

Amami: (smiling) You can bet on it.

Tahmazian (O.S.): -Zanuff-! What are you doing over there? Destroy those rangers. Don't make friends.

[Zanuff faces Tahmazian, nervously, who shoves Lieutenant Kamui towards Amami and the rangers.]

Zanuff: M.My liege, I'm tired. We've been fighting all day. Neither of us are down for the count and nobody here is weak.

Tahmazian: (low, softly) So, Kamui's mouth wasn't -filled- with a bunch of worms. We might have to take drastic measures.

Zanuff: They are of no threat to us.

Tahmazian: What! Why are you speaking in such ignorant way? Let's get going, I've got work to do. Oh, and rangers? I suggest that you, -give- up your positions as rangers, -if- you want your precious Lieutenant to survive.

[Tahmazian laughs sinisterly, walking off-screen with Zedekiah and Zanuff.]

Zedekiah (O.S.): Until next time rangers!

[Amami and the rangers regroup, facing the villains who are now gone.]

Shadow Ranger: Making friends with the enemy I see.

Amami: I don't know. It's just that I sense something within Zanuff, like his heart is, weakening. That's partially why I didn't destroy him.

Shadow Ranger: Showing a bit of compassion, brother? It's not like you. You're always the opposite, you know, passionate.

Amami: What's wrong with showing a little sympathy?

Shadow Ranger: I don't know but we better head back to HQ right away.

Amami: Lieutenant, are you going to be okay?

Kamui: I'll last. Let's get going!

[Recap of Last Chapter/Episode...]

Kamui: (to the Halseth Brothers) You must be Squad Zero. It's nice to have finally met the two of you. (to Miko and Maki) And you two must be the new recruits to this Squad. (to Squad Zero) Correct me if I'm wrong, but you four have been chosen as the four Power Rangers who will aid us all in this battle, right? You make a fine team, the four of you. Amami and Shinji, you must understand already that the universe is in dire need of protection from destruction?

[Both Amami and Shinji nod their heads.]

[Main Command Headquarters. The Main Command Headquarters, the link to all organizations. Lieutenant Kamui and Squad Zero walk inside.]

Kamui: This is the main command headquarters, otherwise known as the link to all organizations. This place was founded in order help all of I-DO defend the universe from anything and everything. You four have been lucky enough to enter this facility -if- it weren't for having been chosen, and only the likes of you can even hope to fend off against Outlanders in combat, but that's not the case. In front of you, you'll see a lot of computer and software, the one in the middle is the mainframe and digital boundary for everything here.

[It is then that the group walks into a room nearby and seat themselves.]

[The Lieutenant closes the door to the room for privacy amongst himself and the four and approaches a device similar to a PDA but increased in size and begins to type.]

[He presses onto a button as a large gap opens up in the floor, followed by a table with a number of containers, covered in smoke as it rises and pauses in the middle of the floor.]

Kamui: I will start off by giving you your ranger designations. Come forth to the table.

[The quartet approaches the table, surrounding it in a circle.]

Kamui: The containers you all stand before contain everything that makes you what you will soon become. Those you stand before contain your morphers, otherwise known as "spirit" morphers.

Amami: I'm all up for it. Let's get our designations.

Kamui: Very well then, open the containers.

[As Lieutenant Kamui continues to speak, Squad Zero is shown in turn, individually.]

Kamui: Amami, you are the Red Dark Alliance Ranger.

Amami: (walks back with the morpher) Just as I expected.

Kamui: Shinji, the Black Dark Alliance Ranger.

Shinji: (tosses the device in the air and catches it with a smile) Lucky me.

Kamui: Maki, you are the Pink Dark Alliance Ranger.

Maki: (looks at Amami and the morpher simultaneously) The exact opposite of red. (smiles) I love pink.

Kamui: ...and lastly, Miko, the Green Dark Alliance Ranger.

Miko: (cherishes the morpher) As gentle as the wind.

Kamui: These morphers that you are now in possession of are not activated exactly as they were ordered to be, so you will have to do that on your own. I'm sure your Commander has given you the piece of equipment to do so? (walks towards the door and opens it) Follow me to the next room.

[Arsenal Room. The actions are the same as before but this time no one sits down. It is then that the room they are now inside of appears dim in a way.]

[The Lieutenant pushes onto a button inserted into the wall before him as it opens like a door. There are a series of sections for each ranger.]

Kamui: The Arsenal Room. This is the arsenal that you will use in battle. You all will have a blaster and a saber with additional weaponry.

Shinji: I'm pretty sure we can all see that each section matches our chosen designations.

Miko: Yeah! It's pretty obvious.

[Squad Zero approaches their section of weaponry and analyse it.]

Amami: A sword. (examining the weapon) A Katana, awesome!

Shinji: I've got myself a gauntlet. That's good enough for my left hand don't you think so, Amami?

Maki: I've got a halberd, what about you, Miko.

Miko: (smiling) Kunai daggers!

Kamui: If you would, I'd appreciate it if you'd strapped yourselves up with your weapons. Next, follow me to the next room for the rest of your gear.

[Squad Zero strap themselves up with the equipment and tag along with the Lieutenant out of the armory.]

[Equipment Room. Door opens automatically as the Lieutenant and Squad Zero walk into the room. Squad Zero looks around in amazement.]

Kamui: This is where your equipment lies. Around the walls you will see a showcase of samples, otherwise known as your uniforms, starting with your headgear.

Amami: I hope the Commander recommended anything for protective gear throughout battle.

Kamui: Never mind that. I see where you're going about the whole armor ideal. And yes, Takarai told me all about it. I'll bring them up right away.

[The Lieutenant presses onto a button nearby and as said before about the floor opening, very similar, but this time protective gear rises up, connected to a circular clothes rack of sorts.]

Kamui: This is your metempsychosis armor. Need I remind you, Halseth Brothers, that this protective gear will increase your abilities that you already possess! I'm certain you girls have abilities of your own as well.

Miko: Uh, hello! Highly trained lady ninja here! The Zephyr. Wind.

Maki: The Force. Earth.

Amami: The Inferno. Fire.

Shinji: The Shadow. Darkness.

Kamui: And yet, they all match your entitlement as a ranger. Very few people have the ability to wield such powerful entities like you all. You should be obliged.

Amami: The Commander has really outdone himself this time.

Kamui: At this time, I would like for you all to take out your morphers and set them upon the table.

[Squad Zero sets their morphers upon the nearest table/desk and backs away simultaneously.]

Kamui: I am going to program the morphers with the intention of giving you the ability to enter battle form, your ranger suits, and spirit transmigration form, your combatant armor.

[Lieutenant Kamui walks up to a computer and begins to type as a hologram pops up with data showing all of the ranger accessories.]

Kamui: Meanwhile, you will all have a trial to accomplish between, proving ground as protectors of the universe.

[Lieutenant Kamui continues typing and lastly, presses onto a big red button. It is then that the morphers emit a bright light. Data as the designated colors charge towards the morphers, plummeting into them.]

[Squad Zero raise their arms to the morphers, suddenly arising, levitating in the air.]

[The morphers dash towards Squad Zero, attaching themselves to their rightful owners wrist, just like a watch, as a light electrical charge, with the designated colors, surges through the body of the possessors.]

Kamui: (turning towards Squad Zero) I believe that you are all set and ready for training?

Squad Zero: Yeah!

Amami: Lets go!

[Testing Ground. Midday. Squad Zero approaches the Testing Ground with amazement as Lieutenant Kamui follows behind.]

[Inside the Testing Ground. The Lieutenant and Squad Zero stand inside, nearest the entrance.]

Kamui: This is the core of the I-DO Project, humanity's final defense against the Outlanders.

Amami: So, where will we be training?

Kamui: Follow me. I'll take you all to the exercise area.

[Cross-over to Exercise Area. Squad Zero enters a large stadium of sorts, looking astounded, standing before a wide audience.]

[The Lieutenant watches them from above.]

Kamui: I'll be above you all, giving you proper instructions towards training you.

Amami: This is the exercise area? It's larger than I expected. It's almost like a secret government type area for testing dangerous weaponry.

Kamui: Yes. They're promoting it as an activation test along with a mock battle that's very close to real combat. Shall we begin?

[Squad Zero gives Lieutenant Kamui a thumbs up and smiles. The Lieutenant returns a smile.]

Kamui: We will now begin the start up test of mock battle performance of real-time archetypal of the Individual Persona Fighting System. For this test, we will be using a mock battle form with fitting output of 05.06, beginning the first battle with Miko Irvin.

Miko: 05.06, lets see what's in store for me.

[It is then that all of Squad Zero, excluding Miko, are lifted up by a circular platform and elevated above the arena.]

[A replica of Outlander, appearing above ground are multiplied fivefold, surrounding Miko.]

[Miko gets in battle stance, startled.]

Kamui: Miko... are you ready?

Miko: (nervous chuckle) Anytime, Lieutenant!

Kamui: Let the simulation begin!

Announcer: Simulation starting.

[One of the Outlander sneaks an attack from behind and shoves Miko. She catches herself and does a back-flip and cancels out, kicking the Outlander in the head.]

[Miko goes into the defensive just in time as a second Outlander charges at her with its fist but misses as she gently dodges the attack and head-butts its arm, making the Outlander twirl.]

[She the catches the Outlanders arm and tosses it high into the air, pulling out the DA Blaster and fires away.]

Miko: (low) It's all about speed.

[Miko tosses out kunai daggers, piercing the Outlander in the process.]

[It is then that the entire group of Outlanders close in on her, trying to attack as she dodges every single attack, and ducks, leaving the Outlanders to spike each other's fists.]

[Up above, Lieutenant Kamui watches in amazement.]

Kamui: (low) She's fast! Lets see if she is capable of morphing. (to Miko) Miko!

[The Lieutenant points at his wrist, giving Miko a clue.]

Miko: Huh!? (looks at morpher and wonders) There's a slot here. Maybe this is where I put the stone.

[Miko takes out the green stone and sets it upon the slot within the morpher. The stone locks into the morpher and emits a green light around it.]

Miko: So, the stones are the key to activating the morphers. (looks up at the rest of Squad Zero) Hey guys, the stones are the key to the morphers, just so you know.

[The rest of Squad Zero set their stones into the morphers, following the same effect as the morpher activated before.]

Kamui: Miko! Spirit Morpher Revolutionize!

Miko: What!? Is that What I'm supposed to say?

Kamui: Yes, it is!

Miko: Okay! Spirit Morpher Revolutionize!

[The Morphing Sequence begins and everything goes black. Miko is only visible.]

Miko: Green Zephyr Ranger!

[It is then that a aurora of green light streams appear all around. A strong breeze occurs as Miko morphs into Green Zephyr Ranger.]

[A force of green energy bursts from within the Zephyr Ranger as an after-effect, sending the Outlanders flying back against the wall as everything returns to normal.]

Zephyr Ranger: (checking herself out) This looks awesome!

[To Lord Tahmazian's Lair. Lord Tahmazian sits on a throne. The sound of something falling from above closes in.]

Tahmazian: Huh! Whazzat!

[Zanuff falls hard, beneath the throne and lands flat on his face.]

Zanuff: Ouch!

Tahmazian: (pleased) Oh my, just as I expected.

Zanuff: (rising to feet, tired) HUHH-HUHH-HUHHA. (swallows spit, trying to catch breath) Am I going to die?

Tahmazian: (departs throne, approaches Zanuff) Calm down, Zanuff. Panic is pointless.

[Lord Tahmazian chokes Zanuff.]

Zanuff: (gagging and choking) GLAGHH!!

[Zanuff falls to the ground as Tahmazian lets go.]

Tahmazian: I've heard reports of your failure. But I must hear it from you. Tell me, why was your mission a failure?

Zanuff: My liege, it wasn't my fault. I was double-teamed.

Tahmazian: Double teamed!? By who, the -Power Rangers-?

Zanuff: They weren't Power Rangers. They looked like ordinary human beings but they possess great entities within them.

Tahmazian: Then they weren't ordinary human beings.

Zanuff: There were only two of them.

Tahmazian: (shouting) AND YOU LET THEM BEAT YOU AND THE OUTLANDERS? WHAT KIND OF ROLE ARE YOU PLAYING? AND IT BETTER NOT BE CHICKEN.

Zanuff: No, my liege, it's not chicken. I can tell you that even though they possess fire and shadowlike abilities, they are capable of taking form of another life force that not even you would undergo.

Tahmazian: Hm, despite your failure and any other time you have disappointed me, I will let you go this time. That's quite a bit of information you've stored in that... (pokes Zanuff in forehead) thick head of yours, but if you fail again, don't say I didn't warn you.

Zanuff: (walking away) Don't bet on it, my liege.

Tahmazian: Oh yeah, I almost forgot.

[Lord Tahmazian shoots a red electrical beam out of his hand toward Zanuff.]

Tahmazian: A little warning shot.

Zanuff (O.S.): (yelping) I really hate it when you do that!

Tahmazian: (laughing) I love doing that. (gets back onto throne, sits in thinking position) So, the Dark Alliance has humans who possess great entities. (bored) ho hum!

TO BE CONTINUED...

I'm such a sad little kitty today. I don't know what's wrong

2009-08-15T12:17:00.000-07:00

mood: exactly as says... sad
listening to: Gackt - Sayonara

I don't know. After trying to get some sleep since 6 am and having the continuous wake up session and short rest.

Sleep at 6am, wake up 30 to 40 mins later within the hour, sleep at 6:43 am, wake up at 7, sleep at 7 and wake up at 9, sleep at 9 and wake up at 10.

I don't know what it was or what it is but, I think I have a bad case of insomnia. But, it's my senses as well, that are always kicking in and trying to alert me. Well, it's had much success lately.

But, I'm sad. Everyone is getting sick or something like it lately. This year, after all of these deaths are turning out to be the most stupidest and worstest ever.

Nothing is going right with me, I'm quite sick, and the weather is terrible. It hasn't stopped raining and storming over my sorrow's. As I sit here thinking about what to do with this sadness, I think of just about everything and everyone and if this physical health condition of mine will play the same effect as it did with Jasmine. I have had this condition since I was 19 and that was 4 years ago.

But again, as I sit here, I think, with my heart feeling so much like a stone and bringing about pain and my side as well. I wonder if I can last any longer. From that time I had that lonely experience with death, I think he had it in for me but, it was too early to take me away and well, he still wants to take me away so, he left me with a gift. The gift to draw so much people towards me, befriend them, and love them as much as they love me. But, there is always a catch to everything he does and it's never good.

I have been turned towards sadness and sorrowful from the time my heart experienced the breaking session and the feeling of my family leaving me out of the picture and moving on with their lives just as if I have no reason to exist by them, because I'm different and not who they think or expect I should be. But, I have my friends, all of which are you to keep me company and I am grateful. I'd list names but, there's too many of you but, I will say this...

Cass-chan, Yuna-chan, Arya-kun, Sach-chan, and most of all... Keka-chan, my dear. I love each and everyone of you just like as if of course, you were my only family.

But, soon... maybe some time this year, over even before my birthday which is the 27th of next month. Maybe this is my time to pass on and no longer exist from this world.

Need there be more to say? ... ... ...

I have lived on for more than possible with such a condition and I think that as the years go by, it worsens but, silently. I have a silent killer.

I have gone on about me suffering for all eternity and never leaving this world but, I guess my time is finally coming, despite how long of a life line I have upon my wrist that states that I won't be passing for quite some time, yet, for a very long time at that.

I can't help but to think of death all the time. But, because I have happiness here, I can finally move on. I can feel it already as I'm typing this, the pain is returning but, slowly.

I'm lost for words at the moment and can't think anymore...

I have sang my sorrows for all too long... lonely, and stricken for all the time I seem to live. This isn't a suicide so don't think non of it. I've done my share of trying and failed numerously.... repeatedly.

Such a random blog this is, and all because I feel so sad meow!

PRELUDE TO DREAMS Story

2009-07-27T16:20:00.000-07:00

It is said that our dreams, no matter how bad or good... that they can predict the future. I remember this one, beautiful dream, and a girl that I fell deeply in love with.

I didn't want to wake up from such a dream. All I wanted to do was go back into my deep slumber and dream again...

...I wanted to see her again.

CHAPTER ONE - THE EXISTENCE OF LOVE PART ONE

Author: Arinori-Endo "Vernon"
Genre: Drama, Action, Mystery

There it is, a huge field, that I'm suddenly standing before and three path ways, but... I don't know which one to take. I'm not close to any of them so, I've got enough time to think about it.

"What am I doing here anyway, I could dream up something better than this but, we'll just see what happens. Like always."
There is a girl, standing right in front of me. I don't know whether to look up at her or just keep going. Gosh, I wonder sometimes why I shy away too much.
"Alright, it can't be helped. I have to look up, or else, I'll regret it later on."
And so I took my eyes and my head away from the ground to look up at this girl who is standing in my path, when suddenly, I just couldn't move a muscle. I stood there... paralyzed. My reason? This beautiful girl that is standing before me with that beautiful smile.
"I wonder who she is. I can't look away... oh no! I can feel my heart pounding but, I don't know what it's trying to tell me right now."
That feeling I felt, like my heart just kicked me right in the chest... it was my heart telling me that I have fallen in love again, but this time, inside of a dream. It wants me to make a move, but, I can't. That smile is so mesmerizing that I've been put in some kind of trance. But now, she's coming towards me.
"Aw man, what am I going to do? She's coming right to me. And look, she's still smiling. Does she know me?"

She stopped in front of me, and now, we're standing face to face. That smile seems to be going away and it looks like she's about to speak.
"Can I see your hand?" She said it so sweetly. I couldn't resist, I pulled my right hand out of my pocket instead of the hand I write with and held it out for her. "Here, hold on to mine, let's take a walk."
"Sure, but which way?" I said in a choking manner. I was so shocked by what just happened so fast, and I was kinda happy. She looked at the paths and said, "There is three, what do you think that they mean?" I got a clue, "The one on the left looks to small, so I'm guessing that only one of us can walk it. The one on the right looks a little wide, but we'd be too bunched up, th..." "Ooh, I like the one on the right. We'd be closer together, sorry for interrupting."
"I'd love that but, we would stumble as we walk. It's alright, I'll allow interruptions."
"If we stumble, then that means you'll have to carry me, teehee"
"I really wouldn't mind that. I'd love to carry you in my arms."

And there it was, she had me blushing. She stopped me from explaining the paths to my best but, I didn't care. When I looked beyond each path, it looked like there was nothing there to begin with. But, before I could make one sound, this beautiful girl put her finger upon my lips.

"I don't normally ask this but, what's your name?" She shooshed me, and turned to face me again. I couldn't help but smile. I ignored the fact of how weird this whole dream was but, she smiled again, with that glimmer in those beautiful eyes, and those cheeks, and well, all I can say is, I've dreamed the perfect dream and I don't want to wake up from it, ever.
But, what's this, she's wrapping her arms around me. And now, I'm sleepy. She's so warm, I feel like I'm going to die in her arms. I hugged her back. It was a jerk reaction that I couldn't control.
"What's the meaning of all of this, dear?" "Just close your eyes and you will see."
I did exactly that, and for about three whole minutes, I was in complete darkness. It felt like hours.
Just so suddenly, I felt lips touch my cheeks and then my lips, and when I opened my eyes again, the scenery changed and we were standing in a moonlit flower garden, next to a cherry blossom, falling with leaves, and white feathers flowing in the wind. Our lips were locked, sealed together. Kissing in the beautiful breeze, when suddenly...

"Vernon, wake up!"
Was I still dreaming or what?
I woke up, sweating. My lips were sealed to the pillow and...
"WHAT! A pillow? No... I can't be awake already." It was my brother, standing before before at the foot of the bed. "Yes, a pillow. What else? Get up already." "Yeah, and he was kissing it, hahahaha!" Oh no, and my baby sister too? This day isn't going to be good at all.
"Oh, and it was such a good dream too." "So, who was it, who was in it, teeheehee." My baby sister, she's twelve and well, my brother, only younger than me by two years. "Do you really wanna know?" She responded with a quick, "No, not really."
There you have it, my brother and sister, sitting there in my room, watching Ninja Warrior on G4. That show never gets old. I felt my heart kick me again, but later on in the day, or should I say afternoon. I was left feeling depressed about the dream. She was so beautiful. And yet, seemed so perfect for me. Maybe I will get to see her again, but, what if she is someone that I will see in the next life. I don't doubt that at all.
So, I got out of bed, my pillow drenched with sweat. I ran downstairs quickly for a bite to eat, to fight off this depression. Some left over spaghetti from last night.
"You were sleep for a long time. What's wrong?" That was my mother. Surprisingly but, knowingly, I sensed her presence. "Oh, nothing." I said with a smile. "I had a good dream. I didn't want to wake up from it." "It must've been that good of a dream for you to be sleeping that long." I said nothing, I just smiled and laughed. "That's a lot of spaghetti, are you depressed? What's wrong? I'm your mother, you're supposed to be telling me this stuff." "It's nothing. I just want to go back to sleep, that's all." I kept the smile on my face but, it got small. "That really must have been a good dream, hahaha."
This led to having a long conversation about dreams, I didn't tell her mine. Her dream was pretty interesting, which led me to tell her... "They say that our dreams predict things." I just left it at that, and she said, "In my dream, I dreamt about babies, and one of them was your sister." I laughed and she continued, "while you were sleep, I don't know if you heard me or not but, I called her and was like, YOU'RE NOT PREGNANT ARE YOU?"
That was pretty funny. I couldn't help but continue on with the laughter, but the bad thing is, she was pregnant. This was my older sister, my oldest and closest sister already had her children, about three of them. As for the older one, this would be her second. It's too early to get into names, so, you'll know them later on.
So, mother went upstairs and we parted ways. I sat down at the table and ate my brunch, watching Cow and Chicken on Cartoon Network when suddenly, I went into a daze. This time I could only hear voices and everything was pitch black and dark. I was disappointed that this dream girl wasn't there, but, maybe in another dream.

This was, of course, proof of the existence of love and a next coming that some day, I'd get to see her. Well, all we can do is wait and see what will happen next.

Something did alright...

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!!!*

There was a knock at the door. I wonder who it could be...

When The Storm Subsides

2009-07-27T10:38:00.000-07:00

Mood: deeply within sorrow

I've been driving through these nights
This road reminding me of all I am
As time drags on, these windows fade
Reality starts slipping from my mind

All I know is this all fades, the second that I'm by your side
Can this be real, can this be fate?

Just say that you'll be there for me
Please say that you'll be there
Just say that you'll be my side
When the storm subsides

All these years beneath the skin
Everything inside me turning to shame
I was lost, but now I can see
This fate is turning deep inside of me

All I know is this all fades, the second that I'm by your side
Can this be real, can this be fate?

Just say that you'll be with me
Please say that you'll be there
Just say that you'll be my side
When the storm subsides

Blind Revelation

2009-07-26T09:11:00.000-07:00

Mood: Depressed

Listening to: Head Phones President - Star

Sitting here, lonely

Inside of this small, white room again

Looking at the world as it pass me by

I see myself inside you

I stand and stare with my eyes so clear

I can't even shed a tear.

There are days I love you so much I can't breathe

That, I don't cry because thats not what I do

But I find my eyes just kind of leak

For hours, just on and off

She's everything to me.

You say that you're with someone else

Every time I come near

Reject me every chance you get

And right now I don't care.

Every time I saw you, I wanted you

Opened up to you, I thought of you thoroughly.

You don't care about how I feel

You care about yourself and everyone else

Send you messages, express my feelings

This silence is so deep, it's tearing me.

How could you be so blind

I'm going out of my mind

I wonder if or when this world dies off

Comes to that sudden end

If I will see any of you again.

I feel I have suffered far too long

I don't care about this life, this family most of all

No one cares for me, no one

I don't believe you at all

When anyone says they care

How could you be so blind.

All I want, is rest

I want peace, I want death

Because I'm tired of living,

The suffering, for I am living

My mind, peacefully villainous

Normally, rarely always thinking of suicide

The endless sorrow.

How could you be so blind

I'm going out of my mind

Seems like my life has no ending

With all these emotions, I'm trapped with these feelings.

Blind

2009-07-26T08:38:00.000-07:00

Mood: Depressed

Listening to: the rain

Sitting here, lonely

Inside of this small, white room

Looking out to the sky

Wondering, what am I gonna do

Turn on the radio

Listen to the words from my favorite songs

Making me wonder

Sometimes my life is based on what they say.

How could you be so blind

I'm going out of my mind

Inside I feel my heart and soul

It's telling me to run away

It's telling me to runaway

From everything that ruined my life

And that's making me go insane.

Why do you treat me

The way you always do

Wondering if you realize

That because of you, my life has changed

Im not the boy

Who you thought that I would be

This is the demon

You awoke inside of me.

How could you be so blind

I'm going out of my mind

Inside, I feel my heart and soul

Telling me to runaway

It's telling me to runaway

From everything around me

From everything that's killing me inside.

Sometimes I wonder

If I'm the perfect mistake

The one that stands

Outside of the picture

Since I'm the middle child

Should I runaway.

I know that if I should stay

Here all the bullshit that you say

If I should live this imprisoned life

Nothing is bound to change.

A Failure To Friendship

2009-07-26T08:33:00.000-07:00

Mood: Rejected

Listening to: the wind

Don't fall in love with a friend

You're just heading for the heartbreak session

You could tell them what your heart feels

How they make it skip a beat

Tell them anything you want to

But it will only bring you to defeat

Trust me, I've been there many times

Rejected every minute I try to make it right

You refuse me but I'll wait

You're the only person I could find

There's no one else like you

Haven't found someone else of your kind

I understand if you want to just be friends

But it'll only break my heart.

We sit outside on the dirty ground

But there's more interesting things that we have found

Oh can you hear the sound

Its the calling of the broken hearted

The one's that walk around who feel departed

From what was life, what they have started

Don't fall in love with a friend

You're just heading for the heartbreak session

You could say the things that'll make them cry

It will make them wonder what makes you try

You refuse me but I'll wait

My heart tells me you're the one I'm looking for

It starts to pain me when I think of you

At times I don't know what to do

What Are Dreams And Memories

2009-07-25T21:44:00.000-07:00

Mood: thoughtful
Listening to: My inner being

Dreams are faded memories
Memories are shattered Dreams
Dreams are something above
Memories are something below.

Dreams flow like the wind but
memories stop the wind
Dreams keep you falling while
memories prevent you from falling.

Dreams are sweet while
memories are sour
Dreams are "sometimes" false while
memories are real.

Dreams are loveliness but
memories are loneliness
Dreams go rotten while
memories stay fresh.

Dreams waste space while
memories are from the heart
While memories fade and
Dreams shatter...

A dream of you
In a world without you.

A Modest Introduction

2009-07-25T20:04:00.000-07:00

Illusion, Isanity... or Intelligence: Pick One

The chair in which I'm sitting doesn't know it's an illusion, so supports my body anyway.
The sky doesn't know it's an illusion, and keeps on holding both stars and planets in some fixed relationships, even while we sleep. So we aren't holding them up while we sleep, are we?
In short, reality exists, because these things physically exist apart from which desire concerning their existence. They don't know that they are but figments of our imaginations, as if we were gods and thus smart enough to imagine all those things so well, even though we aren't, must be... our brains; for if we can imagine them so masterfully, we can sit on our imaginations: why is there so much trouble in the real world?

With all the bad in the world, how can a kind and loving God be almighty and ruling over it?

"The world is filled with wonderful opportunities, brilliantly disguised as intractable problems."

Human beings can only reach virtues by choosing with their free will, not to pursue vices. If a computer is programmed to always tell the truth, we wouldn't call it virtuous. Yet, truthfully, a computer never lies. To appreciate light, there must be darkness. To appreciate life, there must be death. We cannot learn unless we make some mistakes. That is... ...most of us.

Indeed, God does have absolute knowledge of all things and has power over all things and He does love human beings. The bad in the world should be seen, not as inherently bad but, rather as lessons for humanity for which it must learn and through which we appreciate the value of good things as and when we can than through our efforts.

All Nighters with Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis

2009-07-19T17:54:00.000-07:00

So much for school in reality. I love this game so much. I'm not all for Harry Potter so, alchemy in school... it rocks. There is more to it than magic. But, Alchemists of Al-Revis is capable of an all nighter. Just about every night I put my hands on this game, I'm up until 6 'o clock in the morning having a time with it.

I love how there are hundreds of items that seem infinite that you have to collect in order to synthesize them into other items... interesting and powerful at the most of it. ^^

Going to class can be a real ass bitter with the assignments you have to attend to but, going to detention for not completing them can be worst, and sometimes easy.

Eventhough I tend to play other games, I don't think I'm quite finished with this one, yet. I'm on chapter 8, on my way to becoming a senior. "in reality, i only made it to the 7th grade for mysterious reasons".

In short, I love how humorous this game is. There is never a dull moment but, just like any other game in the world, playing the game will piss you off, depending on what mistakes you have made. But, the music... in battle, with all thanks to my fav VG company Koei, it's awesome. Love the vocal soundtracks to this game as well, especially the intro. v^o^v

Movie clips in GazettE's Chizuru video!?

2009-07-19T08:59:00.000-07:00

Remember the movie clips in the GazettE's Chizuru PV in 2006? Well, I just now realized what the movie was. It's a korean movie called A.P.T., of course, short for apartment. It is indeed a horror movie and I love it. But, the reason for the clips in the PV itself, were basically because this movie, aka, Apartment, was being released in Japan around that time of year. Who would've known... ?? O.O

So, if any of you don't know, here is a review of the movie itself:

Se-jin, a young woman who lives in an old apartment in a Seoul suburb, amuses herself by observing the windows of the apartments on the other side. One day, she notices that the lights of some of these apartments are turned off at the very same time. She begins to suspect that this pattern is somehow related to a series of mysterious deaths in the neighborhood. She becomes more and more deeply involved as she attempts to solve the mystery.

It starts off with a news report, talking to this dude with extremely long hair that, apparently never comes out of his apartment. And some other stuff I forgot thanks to the part where the main character, Se-jin, is inside of a subway station and is suddenly aware that she's being followed by, who she didn't know to be completely suicidal. So, the chick that was following her, sits onto the bench behind Se-jin with an mp3 player, and starts crying, listening to music that I find, sorrowful myself but, Se-jin looks back, and finds that of course, and then turns away, but when she looks back again, she finds this woman missing with her purse and mp3 player just sitting there, playing. When she turns back around to face the area where of course, the trains run, Se-jin is scared shitless by this woman who apparently was standing beside her, in silence.

So, they begin a conversation, and the woman says some craziness and leaps out in front of Se-jin, towards the tracks and in front of a train that sounded off of course of it's coming or whatever but, she does that grabs Se-jin, trying to take her with her. Se-jin grabs onto her, trying to pull her and this chick just started resisting, and when the train came... ... BAM!!!... ... instantly takes the psycho with it, leaving Se-jin in silent tears, tramatized at the police station.

If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend it to the fullest. It's crazy and yet, Chizuru fits this entire movie well. Basically everything about the two fit.

The Haunting in Conneticut and the mysterious hours after it...

2009-07-16T16:30:00.000-07:00

This is actually a great movie. I loved every minute of it. Watched it twice. Once at 9pm, and as it ended at 11, I waited through the credits and once 12 midnight hit, I really got settled in but, thanks to the popcorn, tortilla chips and ice cream, they caused me to doze off numerous times and permanently at 1 going on 2am, just finishing with the climax of the movie "the middle".

Call me crazy but, during both times I watched the movie, I saw, during the first round of movie viewing, an adult shadow-like figure walk towards the kitchen, and the second time, out of the kitchen. It wasn't a living being, I was the only one downstairs and my senses? i hear like a bat and have vision and senses like a cat. But my ears and big or pointy. I just know how to heighten my senses. But... after I dozed off, I woke up a little too early, like around 5am and saw that the television was off and the dvd player was still running. Once again, not a single human soul participated in this act. My idiot 28 year old sister and her idiot boyfriend never stay up passed 12 midnight.

My idiot sister, told me that her bathroom door opened by itself but, it was her boyfriends towel hanging upon the door that caused it. My situation remains a mystery but, things like this always happen to me. I know that some tv's have an automatic shut off type capability but this one doesn't. My 5 year old nephew, a year ago, saw the shadow of a little girl, standing by the door of the bedroom that myself, my oldest sister, her kids and my precious jewel, my niece, Callise, were all sleeping in.

We are always a pact when together but, I believe him that much. I know the supernatural and well, let's just say that I have tampered with witchcraft for quite a while but, lost that ability long ago as I nearly almost entered a realm I didn't belong during the meditation process I was attending to alone about 6 years ago, just nearly getting ready to levitate in the air and all that craziness but, as my eyes were closed, I begin to see flashes of light. Just flashing away and I could hear the sound of it too, like when you see lights flickering extremely fast but, in my case, it started slow and then began speeding up. I stopped with the whole process but, now that I think about it, I have connected with something that still remains unknown to me but, I have a pretty good idea.

Sleepless Night Part 1

2009-07-13T19:53:00.000-07:00

Theme: BONNIE PINK - No One Like You

Unlike any other sleepless night, this one is quite different from the others. There is normally just too much on my mind but, at this time, a little more has been added in these thoughts and yet, I feel sleepy but, I can't... ...

First thought, the signing of a 60 day moving term "whatever its called". My idiot 28 year old sister had to sign a paper in order to get something done for 60 days to move out of this apartment but, management wanted to cause some problems and tell her that the notice for 30 days has already been looked at and can't change. Boy, did they pull a fast one. Yet, they are such liars. According to the time limit, there is too much furniture to be moved within 30 unless movers are called for assistance. Other than that, her idiot bf made stupid gestures and remarks LIKE an idiot trying to fix things but, my sis got pissed off even more than she was already and "called the world... ... by phone".

In my case, my mother of course, won't allow me to come back into her home coz she thinks that me and my step father will do nothing but argue everytime something doesn't feel, go, or seem right or whatever. I used to hate him but, I can't hold such a burden now that I'm getting older. Besides that, we don't even talk to each other that much. There is still tension between the two of us. I can feel it everytime we come close or just cross each others path.

Not to worry coz I might just go into the Police force. Screw the military, the police pay more. Speaking of it, I went to the police station today for info and got it of course, but before so, my idiot sister kept trying to criticize the way I speak. I never told her but, she makes me nervous when I'm talking to someone when she's around. I hate it when people do that. I'd rather speak the way I always do. I'm me, not anyone else, so I do what I do.

So, after we got back, we ate Lumpia and went on about our business though she was still pissed and ranting and raving all day about the first event and fussed at her bf for being a stupid idiot. I forgot about the whole police thing coz I was and still am nervous about it. So, I cleaned my sister's laptop which is technically mine since she has only used it once and I used it since forever, of all my music and transferred it all to my three mp3 players when I stumbled across some american rock bands, mainly Sevendust, Muse, Nonpoint, U2, Red, and I forgot the others. I listened to songs from Sevendust and instantly, I got that chill throughout my entire body and BAM!!! back to my depressed state, just that fast.

So, from that time, all I have been doing was thinking. Thinking thinking thinking...

Even when I played the ps2, I was thinking. So, I turned it off and started listening to more music. I left thr jrock and vk alone and wanted to give it a break so,Bonnie Pink was my first choice and Yuko Ando, my second.

I started by listening to a few songs from Bonnie's Heaven's Kitchen single and begin thinking some more and listening to the current song, the theme of this blog, I started thinking about how lonely I am and have been for the past 4 years without a soulmate. It really sucks not having someone to love and cherish like a soulmate and ever since my heart got shattered, it's been feeling like a stone and like there is a lump in my throat. I've done nothing but shed tears throught out the time my very being was damaged on the inside, even to this day. And because my precious jewel, my niece, Callise is now distant away and I have no one to talk to or have the best time with anymore. It seems like everyone is being either pushed or pulled away and for no reason and GOD is making me suffer. But, why, for too long and for what reason!?

So ends this sleepless night as I forget somethings to say. I know I have and I know what to say but can't find the right way to express or say it.

Off to dream world I go. I wonder what predictions my dreams will make this time.

VelsraW the Session Band

2009-07-12T07:52:00.000-07:00

I have been meaning to post this earlier in time but...

If you have guessed it already, yes, VelBet and UnsraW have joined forces, but, this was only for December 17th, 2008 at Takadanobaba AREA Tokyo.

The session band consists of:

Vo. Yuzuki
Vo. Satoshi (now ex. UnsraW roadie and official guitarist of Para:noir)
Gu. Rei (UnsraW)
Gu. Takashi (ex. VeltBet)
Ba. Jun (UnsraW) - hopefully his departure from UnsraW is temporary until he fully recovers from this motorcycle accident
Dr. Ayuto (ex. KisNate, BLACK SHIP)

They played only VelBet and UnsraW songs like:

VelBet - Bunny
VelBet - Sakura chiru
UnsraW - SOCIAL FAKER
UnsraW - Warai oni

And yet, all while Yuuki was still recovering. :( but I'm so glad he has now. VelBet is a really cool band, I like their sound, though of course, I never went to Japan to see this but, I ran across the news about this and forgot to post it.

UnsraW's ex. roadie Satoshi actually sounds great as a vocalist.

XDDDDD

UnsraW's Comeback

2009-07-11T13:35:00.000-07:00

Here to say that after a long awaited illness, with all thanks to Yuuki and his powerful growling and such, UnsraW is returning to activities after that long break and Yuuki's illness.

They're going to be holding to live concerts as like, a celebration for their revival at Takadanobaba AREA on the 22nd and 23rd of August.

I thought for sure that UnsraW was back together but, now we all have update on them.

"Thank you, Yuuki for such a long wait, no really. You needed to take it for us all, so we can hear those awesome vocals."

Hmm, what else is there to say... ... ...

Oh yea, lets hope that whatever the rest of the band mates were working on, and throughout their time being solo is something great and yet, coming soon for us all to hear.

I'm so excited that they're back in action. I almost pissed my pants.

XDDDD

Rejected by my own mother again for the millionth time. WHY DO I EVEN TRY!!!!!

2009-07-11T09:21:00.000-07:00

It's useless and pointless. I knew the outcome from the start. I knew what was going to be said and what useless events weren't forgotten. I need a gigantic bucket of ice cream.

She doesn't understand that her own son is in dire need of support and well, he's seconds away from taking his own life and making no more mistakes to carry it out. I'm done trying. Everyone, tries so hard to convince that woman to take her son, me, back in but, whatever it is, she refuses.

Right about now, I need an endless count of hugs, but, not a shoulder to cry on. I'm shaking badly, and once again, I'm back to my aloof, sorrowful self. The one that inflicts pain amongst his very being. That writes disturbing, sad, sorrowful, depressing poems. I am the emo child I once was. I have been locked away for too long. Now, it's time I rid myself of this soul and say goodbye to everyone, this cruel loving world.

Why are parents so... so... soo EVIL!!!

2009-07-10T20:35:00.001-07:00

So, I'm sitting down in my little area on my bed "the couch", playing Mana Khemia on the ps2 before and after I watched the movie PUSH on of course, dvd when a few hours later, my sister, the one I refer to as an idiot comes to me with news that she knows I'd get upset about.

Her and her idiot boyfriend are planning to move out of this place sometime soon or as early as possible and well, the place they're movinf to only has enough rooms for those two and her idotic demon children.

She told me that "mom said she isn't going to take you in". Well, I haven't heard that one before. She's so concerned about herself but won't let her own son, her oldest son back into her house, when in fact, she kicked me out for no apparent reason at all.

She really makes no sense to why I can't come back. I'm not even on my sister's lease and I'm living in her home. The home she welcomed me into. I really didn't want to come here but, my oldest and closest sister was living back in our hometown, philadelphia at the time.

I could go on about this whole thing all day, even for a week. My sister tells me that I'm going to have to convince her to let me back in but, I don't know where to start anymore. I've tried millions of times already and she still rejects me.

But it's alright that my brother is still there, and recieving her help 24/7. That's truly un called for and, yet, she's being an irresponsible parent. I need all the help I can and my idiot sister can't offer any. She has children of her own and my oldest sister, she can and is willing to offer help but, she lives on military base and well, the base she is on is extremely strict and I don't have military dependency status anymore.

If she lived on the base next to the one she stays at now, there wouldn't be any problems with me staying with her until I get myself straightened and back up on track.

Ahhhhhhhh!!!! WHY IS SHE SO CRUEL!!!!!

And yet, I'm the one that's extremely kind, charming, lovable, truly friendly and who the world is so attracted to. I guess she just doesn't seem to care about me at all.

Now I feel like crying and bursting into tears. Seriously! She and my heart breaker are the reasons why I'm so sorrowful. If I try mutilating myself again, this time I won't fail and finally, I can die in peace. Trust me, I've wanted to die for so long since those two ruined my life, it's crazy.

Please, what do you all think I should do? I'd really like some advice.

NRFB!!!! NRFB!!! I couldn't help it, I had to remove it, hehehe!!!

2009-06-30T15:04:00.000-07:00

I couldn't help it. This is the one product I anxiously waited to purchase. And yet, it's cheaper in reality than it is on the web. I only payed 10 bucks for it at Wherehouse music.

Uryuu Quincy's necklace from of course, the BLEACH anime. I'm happily wearing it everywhere I go. It sounds like the kind of bell collar you put around a cats neck....

KAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIII!!!!!

I wish there were still a cat around for me to play with. Maybe I wouldn'r be so bored. XD

I was going to get another necklace. The other one was a Naruto necklace. It was silver and yet, it had the leaf symbol on it of course. And then there were like two DeathNote necklace's. One was L's with a heart and the other one was a Mika heart necklace. They looked awesome.

I love this store. It was soooooo many anime accessories, it's ridiculous!!!! GYAAAAAAHHH!!!!!

PROFILE
New visual kei band DaizyStripper has burst onto the Japanese music scene with something to offer every listener. Whether it be light and inspiring numbers or aggressive, heavy sounds, DaizyStripper produces catchy music overflowing with energy and emotion. Whatever the style of the song, the band's main priority when making music is to create "lasting melodies." The name DaizyStripper is derived from the positive image of young girls (represented by the "daisy") and the exposure of adults (represented by the "stripper"). The band's music explores the idea that adults tend to lose sight of how great it is to be immature - impulsive, optimistic, and in pursuit of dreams.

BIOGRAPHY
Mayu, Rei and Kazami were all previously in the band Clavier. DaizyStripper originated when Yu-giri, who had been wanting to form a band, approached Mayu directly after one of Mayu's shows as he was putting away his guitar. Finding that the music they listened to was similar, they decided to try their hand at making music together. Mayu talked with bassist Rei and after deciding they wanted twin guitars, Rei asked one of his acquaintances, Nao, to join. Finally the four members made a demo tape and sent it to drummer Kazami, who after hearing it along with Yu-giri's voice, felt this was his ideal band. And so in March 2007, DaizyStripper was formed. They played their first live in June and have since performed with an assortment of other bands in the visual kei scene.Released in February 2008, DaizyStripper's first release was a CD+DVD single titled Dandelion, whose title track was a message to fans describing their excitement about taking the stage for the first time. It entered at number ten on the Oricon indie chart and sold out immediately, resulting in the decision to release a second pressing, which made it to number one on the charts. The band was soon featured on TV and in several magazines, their popularity growing steadily.In May, DaizyStripper had the great opportunity of performing in front of a huge audience at Ajinomoto Stadium for the hide Memorial Summit. They then had their first one-man live, Stripper's Kingdom, on June 6th at Shibuya BOXX. That month they released a two-CD set called CROSS, and in September embarked on a tour of the Osaka-Nagoya-Tokyo circuit called [CROSS] - Gekijou Trip/Ryuusei Trip. In August DaizyStripper made their American debut, performing at the major anime convention Otakon 2008 in Baltimore, Maryland. A couple months later, their single TRUTH made it to first place on the Oricon Indies single chart, and 35th on the Oricon major chart, an impressive feat.2009 will see the release of a new single, Dearest, in June, followed by the band's one-man countrywide tour, Beauty Brightness, in July and August. Be sure to keep your eyes and ears open to learn more about this exciting and promising young band.

2003年7月中旬、高校の同級生で同じサークルに入った牛山と富田はサークルの夏合宿でバンドを組もうと決める。ボーカルは6・7月のライブでCoccoのコピーをやってた彩乃ちゃんに頼もう、ギターは新しくサークルにやってきたエリーナに頼もう、と。バンド名は「みんなグレラミ」。適当だ(笑)その合宿ではCoccoの「あなたへの月」とfra-foaの「澄み渡る空なんちゃら」をコピーした。誰が言い出した訳ではないが、このバンドをしばらく続けてみようという事になった。バンド名を決めようということで富田の家に集まった。電子辞書で色々しらべたり、他のバンド名をもじってみたり。"Fancy Meat" "Jimmy Meat World"とかネタみたいなバンド名ばかり出ていた中、たまたま"coed"という単語を見つけた。男子校出身二人、女子高出身二人、みんな初めての共学じゃないかってことでコレに決定した。"code"に引っ掛けて、「こーど」読む事に。「行動力が欲しい」とはドラムの富田談。初めてサークルの外でライブをやったのは、2003年秋頃。彩乃ちゃんの友達が企画したライブに誘われて出る事になった。渋谷のライブハウス"乙(きのと)"。その時はまだコピー中心だったので、Natalie Imbrugliaの"Torn"(coedのライブで唯一富田がハモリをやった曲だね)やAlanis Morissetteの"Joining You"などを。オリジナルの曲も確か作った。あの頃の曲が懐かしい。その後の合宿などでも曲を作り、4曲くらい出来た辺りでオリジナルだけでライブが出来るようになった。ある程度オリジナルの楽曲が増えてきた頃に、既存の曲のいくつかをボツにした。ボツにしたというより、自然とやらなくなった。バンドのカラーみたいなのがしっかりしだしたのもこの頃か。エリーナが持ってきたリフとか曲の一部を皆で色々広げて曲を作るスタイルに自然となった。歌詞と歌メロ・曲名は彩乃ちゃんに任せて。一番行動力のある牛山はスタジオの予定決めや予約などを、サークルでPAをやっていた富田は全体のアレンジを決めたりレコーディングを担当したり。週1回くらいのペースでスタジオに入っていたが、活動が全て順風満帆だった訳ではなく、色々つらい時期もあった。メンバーの体調不良で活動を休んだり。色々ありながらもここまで続けられて良かったなと思う。結成してちょうど3年位の今、coedは短くて1年くらいの活動休止期間に入ります。その先の事はまだわかんないけど、まぁ暖かい目で見守ってくださいな♪ほいじゃ、また!

My first jrock CD purchase

2009-06-02T08:14:00.001-07:00

So, I went to this place called Wherehouse Music last week, Saturday, thanks to my stupid idiot sister's future husband. "such a cool dude, but annoyingly reminds me of my step father."

I was looking through the cds in the rock/pop section when suddenly, my favorite jrock bands popped into my head but, in alphabetical order. I Skipped the first three when Dir en grey ran across my mind, and happily stumbled across the last copy of D'espairsRay's MIRROR single.

I had the biggest smile on my face and couldn't get rid of it. Every time I tried to, the smile just came back. But yeah, this place has a good selection of jrock and pop music, even korean artist'. There were Dir en grey DVD's and CDs but, I skipped them in regards of my long lost interest in them "because they turned to the American style of rock music but, I myself am an American but really don't care much about the American style."

But yeah, this day was AWESOME. It was $17.99 but, I spent 20 bucks on it without a care eventhough I had the right change for it.

So, of course, I walked out a happy jrocker.

But, it's funny because I live in the state of Virginia, in the city of Norfolk and this is where they came to do there Taste of Chaos Tour '08 concert and I sadly missed it.

Female Fronted Jrock Bands

2009-05-27T08:26:00.000-07:00

Just a picture of one of the greatest female fronted Korean bands of all time, Jaurim/Jaoorim in which of course, in Korea, means, Purple Rain forest.

But, bands with a female lead nowadays are so unappreciated and underrated. I really don't know what to say about it. I find female fronted jrock bands to be pretty awesome. Even those that no one has heard of. Through out my journey, I have ran across so many of them, it's crazy.

Here's my list of female fronted jrock bands:

HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR "Always at the top of my list"
RAMPANT
Velvet Eclipse
Dazzle Vision
Cannibal Rabbit
Head Phones President
Guardian Hacker
Heaven's Crow
inchworm
kara
HeKiRaKu
Iris DIaNna

the four-leaf clover
My Promise
EX-SEED
BULLET RIDE
Area51
AotOkiBuCa

This is just a few, my brain is starting to hurt as I try to remember each band.

What are some of your favorites? Who have you discovered? Do you appreciate female fronted jrock bands?

Gabriela Robin

2009-04-24T07:43:00.000-07:00

Gabriela Robin is a singer and lyricist, credited for nonsensical and broken language lyrics (known as “Gablish”) and vocals on many songs composed and arranged by Yoko Kanno.There is virtually no information available on Gabriela Robin, leading many to speculate that “Gabriela Robin” is a pseudonym used by Yoko Kanno herself. The fact that Robin seems to have done no work apart from Kanno (with the exception of the work of Kanno’s former husband , Hajime Mizoguchi), as well as lyrics and vocals credited to both Kanno and Robin in different sources, seem to support this theory. One may also note Kanno’s refusal to speak of Robin, and Mizoguchi’s response that Robin’s identity and language are a “company secret”. However, vocalist Ilaria Graziano, who works frequently with Yoko Kanno, has been cited as saying that Robin is a person separate from Kanno.Some of the better-known soundtracks with performances by Robin are Cowboy Bebop, Jin-Roh, Macross Plus, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Please Save My Earth, The Vision of Escaflowne, Earth Girl Arjuna, Genesis of Aquarion, Turn A Gundam and Wolf’s Rain.There exist several unequivocally real persons bearing the name ‘Gabriela Robin’ about whom information can be easily located (on the Internet and elsewhere), including a Central American author and artist, a law student and a music producer. However, it has been confirmed that they are not the same “Gabriela”.

PROFILE
Angela Aki is a female singer-songwriter who, despite having been active for quite some time, received little attention until 2006, when she sang a song for Final Fantasy XII. The majority of her songs feature piano accompaniment, and her skilled voice is able to reach the hearts of many people. Due to the fact that she has spent many years living abroad, she is able to sing perfectly in English.Despite having reached 'star' status, Angela Aki is usually seen wearing jeans and t-shirts and, of course, her characteristic black rimmed glasses.

BIOGRAPHY
The uniqueness of this artist is not limited to her music. Since her birth in September 1977 in Tokushima, Angela Aki has been bathed in different cultures: her mother is American, with Italian origins, and her father is Japanese.She learnt to play the piano at the age of 3 and mastered other instruments like the violin and guitar during her childhood. When she was 15, she moved to Hawaii with her parents and joined an American high school. She distinguished herself thanks to her strong personnality and got a scholarship to pursue her studies. She chose a college in Washington D.C. where she could study economics, politics, and music. She wrote and composed songs, gave several concerts and even produced her first album in English, These Words, in January 2000.Back in Japan, Angela Aki caught the attention of the public with her mini album ONE. Her songs, in Japanese this time, captured thousands of hearts and this album reached number one rank of the Oricon Charts. She was then noticed by Nobuo Uematsu who chose her to sing Kiss Me Good-Bye, the theme song of the video game Final Fantasy XII.After years of works and persistence, Angela Aki began her rise in the Japanese music scene and released her first major single HOME on September 14.The next year, the single Kokoro no Senshi "including a cover of the song TODAY by the SMASHING PUMPKINS " was released before the long-awaited Kiss Me Good-Bye came out in March. This Love was recorded in May and was chosen to be the ending theme of the anime BLOOD+.In June, Angela Aki released her 3rd album Home which included some high-ranking songs like This Love, Kokoro no Senshi, and Rain. She appeared in the press, television programs, and concert halls like the Budokan. A few months later, she was back in the spotlight with a live DVD and two singles: Sakurairo in March 2007 and Kodoku no Kakera in May, theme song of the drama Kodoku no Kakera~Itoshi Hitoyo~.

Eri Nobuchika

2009-03-09T08:13:00.000-07:00

Eri Nobuchika 信近エリ is a Japanese pop singer and songwriter under the Fearless Records label on Sony Music Associated Records. She currently resides in Tokyo.

Eri's professional career started at Sony Music SD "Gonna be a star" audition, a regularly held event for aspiring new pop artists. She sent in her demotape but forgot to put her address in it. The president of the audition wanted to contact her, and after asking for her through a few calls to Fukuokan post offices, he finally got hold of Eri.

At the audition, she raised interest in producer Shinichi Osawa, also known as Mondo Grosso. She got 7 more label offers, but ultimately signed with Sony Music, and teamed up with Shinichi Osawa. As an artist on his label, Fearless Records, Osawa would go on to primarily produce Eri's music as he did with fellow label artist bird.

After finishing high school at the age of 19, Eri started work on her debut single, "Lights", which was released on December 8, 2004. The single features the title song, as well as an acoustic version and a karaoke version. The B-track, "I hear the music in my soul", shows off Shinichi Osawa's underground club music background with Eri providing a few vocals. "Lights" starred as the theme song of the Japanese film "深紅" (Shinku, or "The Deep Red") and the ending theme song for the anime FLAG. The song was also featured on Q Entertainment’s PlayStation Portable game Lumines, along with "I hear the music in my soul". Many overseas fans discovered Eri through the game and it also helped launch her career in Japan.

Months later, on April 6, 2005, Eri's second single, "Voice" was released. The song carries a Latin atmosphere with the use of Spanish guitars and carries more of Osawa's club sound. Along with the title song are a studio live version, a karaoke version, and a remix of "I hear the music in my soul". On Oricon's Top 100 chart, the single reached a peak of #94 and stayed on the charts for 3 weeks.

On June 29, 2005, "Sketch for Summer" was released, a very different genre compared to the previous singles. It was a mellow ballad with some hints of jazz. The single comes with a studio live version, a karaoke version, and a remix of "Voice". In the PV, she is featured in colour for the first time, as all of her videos are black & white. The single scored even lower on Oricon at #175 for just one week.

Eri's fourth single, "鼓動" (Kodou, meaning "heartbeat") was released December 7th, 2005, another ballad containing elements of acid jazz, with Eri accompanied by piano and horns. The song appeared in a TV commercial for the mobilecast mLink. "Kodou" is accompanied by a remix, a karaoke version, and a remix of "Sketch for Summer". The single was re-released on two weeks later, replacing the karaoke version with an instrumental version with no background vocals.

Her debut album, "nobuchikaeri", was released on December 21, 2005. It contained her four singles, as well as "I hear the music in my soul", and five new tracks. One of the new tracks included Eri fully singing in English, and two of those tracks, "Yume no Kakera" and "SING A SONG" went on to become her first DVD single in March 1, 2006. The DVD single featured PVs for both songs; the PV for "Yume no Kakera" was created by Studio 4C, who also created animations for The Animatrix.

A 7-track album of remixes titled "nobuchikaeri.rx" was released on May 10, 2006. The album includes remixes of Eri's singles by artists such as Röyksopp, Akufen, and more.
Eri was featured in a radio program on the now-defunct bi-weekly vodcast "the swallowtail radio" (hosted by Sony Music Japan) in which she talked about her career, releases, and where she also addressed messages from fans.

As of the release of "nobuchikaeri.rx" and Shinichi's Osawa move to Avex Trax in 2006, Eri has made no further releases. There is speculation that Eri has parted ways with Sony Music Records, though an official announcement has yet to be made.

An update on her blog told of a studio recording in Okinawa during the summer; this was eventually revealed as her collaboration with NAOTO, the leader of Japanese band Orange Range, in his solo project, delofamilia.

delofamilia's first album, quiet life, was released on December 5, 2007, featuring Eri and AIR as guest vocalists, although Eri appears on the majority of the songs singing in mostly English and some Japanese. Eri, NAOTO, and AIR all shared lyric-writing duties for the album.

PROFILE
Abe Natsumi is well known for the clarity of her voice and her beautiful appearance. As the lead vocalist for Morning Musume from 1997 to 2004, Abe's popularity rose as she became seen as the most talented member of the group. The adoration from the public saw the young woman become one of the most popular idols towards the end of the 90s.Abe's musical style remains similar to that of Morning Musume, centering around light hearted pop and ballads.

BIOGRAPHY
Abe Natsumi was born in Hokkaido in 1981 and attended Hokkaido Noboribetsu High School. She has said her desire to become a singer was born during middle school when she was feeling depressed after being a victim of bullying. The young idol claimed that JUDY & MARY helped her through this period of her life, the song Chiisana koro kara contributing significantly to her overcoming her fears.Following the 1997 audition of AYASAN in order to find a female vocalist for Sharam Q, the five runners-up - consisting of Nakazawa Yuko, Ishiguro Aya, Iida Kaori, Fukada Asuka and Abe Natsumi - were chosen to form the first generation of Morning Musume.Although Abe is now recognized as the main vocal talent of the group during her tenure, initially it was Iida Kaori who held this privilege. However, TSUNKU rapidly changed the status within the band, applying Abes crystal clear voice to the best of his ability.Following the third generation audition with Goto Maki's arrival in the group, Abe saw her popularity waver somewhat. Perhaps it was this momentary lapse that saw the young woman's first photo book released in December. 2000 saw Abe being selected as the star to perform the main role in Morning Musume's second film, Pinch Runner. The year also saw one of the original three Hello! Project Shuffle Units formed, and Abe was selected as leader for the group Kiiro 5.With the fourth generation auditions came a new spurt of favoritism for Abe, with members like Nozomi Tsuji seeing her as a role model. 2003 saw Abe taking her first tentative steps towards a solo career; the young artist released a single with Yosumi Keiko, a former member of Rokusenmon. August 2003 saw Abe releasing her first solo single which achieved the number two spot on the Oricon Weekly Chart.In the January of 2004, Abe graduated from Morning Musume in order to pursue her solo career. Her first album, released in February, saw the soloist achieving a place in the Top 50. Her two following singles reached the Top 10. Unfortunately for Abe she was accused of plagiarism later in the year, reportedly copying content from another idol’s book. Subsequently, her activities with Hello! Project were suspended for approximately an eight month period.Abe's comeback in April of 2005 was met with much anticipation, proving her popularity had not dwindled despite the scandal. Her single reached the number six position on the Oricon Weekly. The soloist also participated in the drama Takaramono under the alias of Sen, releasing a single of the same name in November.March 2006 saw Abe releasing her first album since her comeback. Her album took the number nine spot on the Oricon. Her seventh single, The Stress, is a cover of the 1988 original by Moritaka Chisato and rather interestingly, the artwork features the National Diet Building in Tokyo.2007 has been a fairly quiet year for Abe, with the artist releasing only two singles. In November it was announced that Abe would be collaborating with ºC-ute member Yajima Maimi for a single to be released sometime in January 2008.With this being the first Hello! Project single release of 2008 and Abe's first contribution for the New Year, fans can only hope that this will be a year of good fortune for this young idol.

Four young women kicking out some classics in a ruthless garage mode. This powerful, rockin’ band’s signature is the background screaming (nearly every song). I swear, it doesn’t get better, or wilder, or crazier than this! Technically, they could be better, which only proves how totally unnecessary that would be. The whole band’s great, and there’s a definite SONICS influence in the way they pound these songs out like they own them all!

PROFILE
A&D performs touching pop rock with the lead of a talented vocalist. Although the band was formed in the autumn of 2008, they present a combination of solid experience and a powerful chemistry between the members, as the whole line-up worked previously with the down-to-earth act RABBIT. The light and melodic sound is backed up by Yuki and Saki's guitars, which give the music a tint of a heavier edge.The home site address of this sympathetic four refers to the words 'air' and 'dignity', but in any case the name is always spelled as A&D.

BIOGRAPHY
A&D officially started on August 18 2008, right after the break-up of the members' previous group RABBIT. The line-up knew each other well, as the vocalist Shizeru and the guitarists Yuki and Saki had played together in RABBIT ever since the year 2003, whereas bassist Kage joined the band as a session member within their last year. Seeming like a natural continuation, A&D hasn't given up on their foundation stone, the strong theme of positive sounding pop rock, although the group's exterior style has been polished to a more nuanced direction.The merry four performed for the first time in September 2008 and released their first mini-album, Aquarium, followed by maxi single quill. Besides the promising releases, A&D has gathered interest by taking part in events organized by such labels as UNDER CODE and PS COMPANY, even though the band gets left somewhere between the visual kei and more regular indie rock styles.A&D is rising fast towards the highlights with their radiating energy and recognizable music. The determined line-up is ready to go through a lot of work in order to succeed together and that might be one of the reasons why the band's future looks pretty promising.

PROFILE
Despite having experienced some member changes already, young visual kei band CELLT has maintained a consistent, darkly beautiful sound, due in large part to vocalist Kiyoto who has been with the band since its formation. Their sound is varied, but mostly combative and heavy, though some classify them as "oshare kei" due to their visual style, which incorporates splashes of bright colors as well as playful accessories such as ribbons, bows, lace, hats, eye patches, hair ornaments, sequins and jewelry. Those looking for the brighter, optimistic sounds associated with oshare kei may be a little surprised at this band's angsty vocals and often metal-influenced compositions.

BIOGRAPHY
CELLT formed on August 7, 2004 with two former Kress Devia members: guitarist Kasumi and bassist Takuma (formerly known as Kazuma), who would later change his name to Mito. That year they played many shows at various live houses in Tokyo, and early in 2005 they sponsored the first volume of The religion race to invade, a series that they've continued to sponsor over the years. The following month, an omnibus, HYSTERIC MEDIA ZONE V.A, went on sale carrying two of CELLT's songs. However, it wasn't until November that they released their first single, HONEY?, limited to 666 copies, and embarked on a tour, Tomodachi no○。－TOUR2005.December saw the band perform their first one-man show and despite a severe schedule of nonstop performances, CELLT's exposure was fairly minimal since the only CD they'd released was limited in number. It wasn't until July that their first maxi-single, Sumetai hana, went on sale. Their second, Hakanai inori, namida ni sabite, followed in August, finally signaling the beginning of greater exposure for the band. CELLT attended events sponsored by Dio, KuRt, and heidi., amongst others, and frequently contributed to omnibuses, reinforcing their image as a band that, even if not yet hugely popular, was still a powerful presence in the community, a team player. This image was further cemented with the sold-out CELLT-sponsored The religion race to invade VOL. 7, which saw appearances from NoGoD, Guy's Family, Irokui., UnsraW and SUG. Their live activities continued to flourish in 2007, including another one-man in April, a show for Takadanobaba AREA's 10th anniversary, and a tour called Heaven no omatsuri ☆ten made tobou!!. Finally, in August, the band's first full album went on sale. The two disc album was called "-cell-"～in the future～ and "-cell-"~in the past~, "cell" being an abbreviation of their band name. In October they sponsored their first Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka tour called C no gekijou sono ni, curtailing their name further. In November the group's charismatic and popular bassist Mito (a.k.a. co-founder Takuma) left, which was a huge blow to their fan base. But the band survived and Mito was replaced by Sasa later that month.In August of 2008 they began another one-man tour, Kaette kita ultra C, and released their highly anticipated new single, Lydia. Though they haven't been as prolific as some new bands, CELLT has been very productive on the live front, and each release they put out can attest to their exceptional talent. As they continue to evolve and develop, visual kei lovers should anticipate great things from this band.

Aya started off creating grungy and gritty rock, with the help of American grunge legends like Kris Novoselic (formerly of Nirvana) and Matt Cameron (Soundgarden and Pearl Jam). Since her debut, her style has evolved and expanded; her music is well-rounded rock, with a mixture of hard rock, mellow acoustic, and more poppy tracks that all showcase a majestic soundscape and personal vision.

BIOGRAPHY
In a small town in Hokkaido, Aya grew up with music. She listened to her parents' old songs while she doodled, but it wasn't until she heard the sound of the electric guitar at a Ventures' concert while she was at primary school that she decided what she wanted to do with her life. By the time she was fifteen, she had joined a girl band that covered punk and rock bands like the Sex Pistols. One day, she heard the Nirvana album Nevermind, and, inspired by this, she found a new direction in her music. Aya left her hometown and began moving around Hokkaido before finally settling in Tokyo, where she spent some time performing in bars to support herself. Eventually she participated in a pop vocal contest and won. Sady, her songwriter died before she was able to make her debut.Due to these unfortunate circumstances, Aya nearly gave up on her dream of becoming a professional musician until she tried to write a song herself and was pleasantly surprised at how easily it came to her. (Incidentally, the first song she wrote, HANDS, would be released in 2001 as her debut single.) Regaining her confidence, Aya spent her time producing demos and, by the time she signed with BMG in 2000, she had 30 finely-tuned tracks ready for production for which she had arranged and played all of the instrumental parts. Adam Kasper, an American rock producer who had worked with several bands like Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam, heard her demo tape and was so impressed by the quality that he immediately agreed to produce her. This gave the rising star an opportunity to work with famous musicians such as drummer Matt Cameron (ex-Soundgarden, currently playing with Pearl Jam) and former Nirvana bassist Kris Novoselic, a hero of hers.Her first album, Senjou no Hana (also known as A Flower In the Battlefield) was released in 2002 to glowing reviews from Japanese rock critics and even the German press. She spent the year promoting her album with a number of live performances, including a memorable performance at the "Summer Sonic Festival" (one of Japan's largest rock festivals). She was even invited to open for the legendary rock singer Eikichi Yazawa, and proved how well she could work an audience of 50,000 people despite her "newcomer" status.In 2003, Aya released Kinjirareta Uta (The Forbidden Song), a 7-track EP that showed off her maturity and conviction as both a songwriter and a performer. Rather than having famous rockers support her as had been done with her first album, Aya showed that she was capable of producing her signature sound with the three support musicians who had played with her since her debut. The result was a much more straightforward sound that was once again applauded by Japanese rock critics. A year later, in 2004, Aya's second full-length album, BAGHDAD SKY, was released. It was considered to be Aya's "essence", a rock album with substantial attitude and confidence, with a balanced mix of pure rock tracks, more poppy songs, and powerful ballads. A German version of BAGHDAD SKY was also released, with five additional tracks.Aya's most recent work, her song OVER NIGHT, was released in 2006, and used as the ending theme for the anime "Le Chevalier d'Eon". OVER NIGHT showed off her softer side with breathy vocals and mellow, lilting acoustics. Since OVER NIGHT, she has not had any new releases; however, her fans eagerly await her next release.

Note: There are actually no downloads of Dazzle Vision except for JapanFiles and I think you have to pay for them from the looks of it. So, I took it upon myself and uploaded my own.

LINE UP
Vocals - Maiko
7-String Guitar - Yu
5-String Bass - Takuro
Drums - Haru (formerly of Goofy Style)

BIOGRAPHY
Dazzle Vision is a screamo band. They have elements of emo and rock, but occasionally the lyrics are screamed instead of sung. One very interesting thing is that the lead vocalist, Maiko, is the "Screamer." You would never think her capable of such low-pitched, bestial screaming due to her "cute" model looks, and beautiful, melodic voice. This band is definitely worth checking out. Dazzle Vision formed in June of 2003. In 2006 they toured all around Taiwan, met with good reviews at Spring Scream 2006 an outdoor music festival there, and subsequently released their first album in Taiwan on the waves of the tour's success. Later that year after touring in Japan they released that same first album in their native country, Origin of Dazzle, on April 25th. The eagerly awaited, Camille Japonica, their second album, was released on March 26th, 2007. And on November 28th, 2008 Crystal Children had hit the shelves and was already receiving much esteem.

Jaurim - official site

PROFILE
Jaurim are one of the most popular female fronted rock groups in Korea. Their blend of rock with a psychedelic element has meant that they have attracted fans not only in Korea but also in other parts of Asia and the world. So much so that they were offered a joint concert with Irish band The Cranberries.The four member line up has released 6 full length studio albums, a compilation and a covers album along with several side projects and solo works.

BIOGRAPHY
Hailing from Seoul, Jaurim, formerly known as The Ugly Duckling, started playing gigs in the underground Shinchon scene in 1997. It was late in 1997 that they changed their name to Jaurim, which is taken from three Chinese characters (紫, ja, meaning purple. 雨, u, meaning rain. And 林, rim, meaning forest) making the meaning Purple Rainy Forest, when they were signed to Nanjang Records. The band formed when Lee Sun Kyu and Kim Jin Man were playing in bands around the Hongik University in Seoul. They met Kim Yuna and Goo Tae Hoon while playing in a band called CCR and went on to form Ugly DucklingThe song that first brought them to the attention of the mainstream market was Hey, Hey, Hey, which was featured on the soundtrack for the Korean drama The Man with a Flower. It was this song that lead to them getting signed to a major label shortly before the release of their first album Purple Heart, which was met with critical acclaim.In 1998, Jaurim made a comeback with their second album entitled Lover, which featured the well received song Mi An Hae Neol Mi War Hae (sometimes known as 'Sorry, I hate you') and an album with remakes of some of their songs along with some new material. The release of their album Lover, was met with some controversy as 9 out of the 14 tracks were banned from Korean radio.In 2002, the band officially disbanded due to issues with singer Kim Yuna being regarded as the shining star of the group. Despite this the group re-united in 2004 with the release of their 5th full length album, All You Need Is Love and the hit song Ha Ha Ha Song and have been performing concerts both in Korea and Japan. Kim Yuna has also become a solo artist in her own right and the other members have formed the band Choco Cream Rolls.In 2007, Jaurim returned with their own digital single and a collaboration with Drunken Tiger on their single, Spray Love.
