RE: Check.

Universal bunny.



Nothing gets better than standing four rows from the stage and jumping, quite madly to the songs of May'n.

AFA 09 'I love Ani Song concert' was a blast, and nothing was stopping me from going to the Sunday night concert to watch May'n for the second time, live, in Singapore.

Insanely high, after Yoshiki's fantastic performance, May'n's appearance on the stage just made everything more exhilarating.

A total of around 12 songs were sung this year round, including a new song from the Macross Frontier movie and 3 new songs from her Styles ablum,

Pink monsoon (opening)
Universal Bunny
YOUR ROCK
Let Me Be Myself
ライオン -May'n バージョン
キミシニタモウコトナカレ
Northern Cross
May'n☆Space
Get Ready
射手座☆午後九時 Don't be late (ending)
ダイアモンド クレバス (encore with Yoshiki Fukuyama on guitar)
Dynamite explosion (encore with Yoshiki Fukuyama)

I managed to snap a picture of Yoshiki when he was signing but I was unable to get one of May'n, since the AFA staff literally took one's camera away to delete any photo of May'n.

Last year I was unable to give May'n an illustration to her face to face, this year was the same, but at least I was able to meet May'n's Manager, face to face.

It was awesome, even though I wasn't able to pass it directly to her.

He told me that May'n was changing and was too tired to come out herself, so on her behalf he helped me pass it over to her.

He said,

'We are extremely happy for your support.'

Speechless, I just nodded and grinned. He took the illustration from me and looked at it before exclaiming, quite wowed by the sight,

'This is great! It really looks like her.'

I scratched my chin and passed another grin, not really knowing what to say but nod my head; guessing that I was acting like an idiot.

He said something to the translator and they shared knowing nods and smiles. He turned to me,

'Where are from?'

I simply replied that I was from Singapore and he nodded his head in acknowledgement. He continued,

'Did you come last year?'

I answered positively and added the part where I passed something to May'n too. He gave out a long note and a few nods.

He continued something about coming next year and finally, he gave me a small bow and smiled,

'Thank you for giving this to May'n.'

I had almost forgot something and I quickly reached into my pocket and pulled out the small taiyaki, placing it onto the surface of the illustration. At the sight of it, he chuckled,

'Taiyaki?'

'Yes.'

He smiled and said his thanks once again, telling me to come again next year to watch Ma'yn once more, deeply appreciating my support. I nodded and sincerely thanked him, watching his figure with the translator disappear back stage.

I'm happy.

Bloody hell happy.

*'Universal bunny', Sheryl's mini album and 'Styles', May'n 1st full album is out!

There is will be a 'to be continued'.

*To all that meant to come here looking for a good update: Pardon this post, I'm going nuts on the current wave of Macross Frontier showcase.



Macross Frontier Fever!

From articles in Pash!, cover articles in Newtype to 18 page previews in Animage and lastly to the countdown to the premier of the Macross Frontier Movie!

11月21日!!

'Poor small' Alto, smacked right at the corner of the poster; too bad I didn't catch sight of him when I flipped it open. (A big pardon to those who support Alto - I had to say it out.)



I'll definitely settle on Brera and Sheryl, anytime. Not only does the Macross Frontier make it's way, so is May'n and Yoshiki Fukuyama who is coming to Singapore for AFA09~! For that, all the way!

Deculture!

Re: Communication.



Hold me close.

Nothing in there;

But you.

The sentence, or so.

'Thinking leads to Conclusion. Action leads to Emotion.'

Paranoia leads to disturbance...

Isn't that thinking too?

Oh. How ironic.

-

We (I) complain, we (I) compare.

Yet we seemingly forget that no one is a hundred percent perfect. Imperfection seek us and we (I) seek perfection. Immeasurably, we (I) reach out blindly to a goal that we (I) fathom is the truth, the gold, the end.

The end has an end.

Yet an end has no end.

For Imperfection seeks no end.

We (I) have no end, for we are seemingly full of flaws.

So imperfect.

However, unthinkably, wonderfully, perfect.

'O Jesus Christ! I'm hit,' he said; and died.
Whether he vainly cursed, or prayed indeed,
The Bullets chirped - In vain! In vain! vain!
Machine-guns chucked, -Tut-tut! Tut-tut!
And the Big Gun guffawed.

Another sigh, - 'O Mother, mother! Dad!'
Then smiled, at nothing, childlike, being dead.
And the Shrapnel-cloud
Leisurely gestured, - Fool!
And the falling splinters tittered.

'My Love!' one moaned. Love-languid seemed his mood.
Till, slowly lowered, his whole face kissed the mud.
And the Bayonet's long teeth grinned;
Rabbles of shells hooted and grunted;
And the Gas hissed.

'The Last Laugh'
-Wilfred Owen (1893-1918)

Period.

The passing of Time is inevitable.

However when one (sadly) exceeds the limits at the present moment, Time becomes agony and sounds reverberating dirges of misery, that lull one to the edge of utter sadness.

At that place where an hour seems like a day, dwelling dominant desire radiates with delight. The yearning for comfort is overwhelming that sleep feels like the only path to walk down.

Hope.

When one wakes, ears listens for voices, only to find that night has finally come. With that, resides the knowing that daylight has been vanquished, with no one (seemingly) realising that one (has) had stopped Time and seen misery smiling gleefully at the world - at oneself.

At itself.

-

Are you (we) living in the real world?

Like golden butterflies that flutter.

Endlessly.
