Okay. I feel an urge to put an account of my GACKT-hunting here. Ignore if you want. Labels: fangirling, life
WARNING: Fangirling ahead, as usual.
Yesterday:
Dashed down to Orchard immediately after school ended, at around 1. Met with some other fans. We split into 3 groups - 2 going around Orchard, 1 around Liang Court.
Sadly, no results, so I left early to go home.
Nothing remarkable to report yesterday, really.
TODAY, THE WAY MORE EXCITING ONE:
Went with Claire to Suntec first. We were walking through Citylink Mall, when Claire was like, "Ooh, black leather."
I turned, and saw the back of someone who looked a lot like GACKT. He was staring straight at us, probably because we were having a rather animated conversation about GACKT and I was waving my GACKT CD around.
Claire saw him and went, "Ooh, black leather. Nice."
I turned immediately, because, well, GACKT is known for wearing leather, and saw the person staring at us. He was wearing all black leather and shades, and his hair looked somewhat like GACKT's. I immediately went, "OMG IS THAT GACKT?????????"
We both ran after him, only to find that it wasn't GACKT after all. Sidetrack here: I realised later that it was actually YOU, GACKT's guitarist who looks a lot like GACKT. And I completely missed the chance to get his autograph. I feels fail. Although I did get to see YOU-san, which is already a lot luckier than most fans here...
So then we went shopping in Far East instead. Saw Sha^2 there. Yay. Will not put the details of the shopping here, but it was fun.
Went back to City Hall to meet other fans at 5. There were only 3 of us, so we just walked around Suntec Convention Centre hoping to catch a glimpse of GACKT. No such luck.
Then, as one of us was leaving, we accompanied her to the taxi stand outside the hotel. We were lucky enough to see DEARS arriving when we were there. So I went up and spoke to them.
Me: Anou, sumimasen.
DEAR: Hai?
Me: Anata wa... DEARS desu ka?
DEAR: Ee, sou desu.
Me: Ja, GACKT no live no tokoro ga shiteiru desu ka?
DEAR: Aa, wakaranai yo. Gomenasai.
Me: Hai, arigatou.
So it seems that even DEARS don't know the trip itenary.
And then I went down to the Raffles City basement with the other fan, and we saw these 2 DEARS standing around and looking at a map. They were wearing the DEARS pass, so I went to talk to them too.
The entire conversation is too long to put here, but in short, we went for dinner together, and they showed us some DEARS-exclusive GACKT stuff. Also, they said that there could soon be DEARS in Singapore too. Yay~~~
Also, we took photos! Lazy to upload now, but I has one of me wearing the DEARS pass. Now if only it actually belonged to me...
I also found out a lot from them, but I can't put anything here since it's all strictly confidential.
I still wants to see GACKT... ah well. Looks like I'll have to content myself with chatting with DEARS. It's really fun though, and it's good Japanese practice.
Nyah. My feet are dead. First tramping around Far East in boots and then walking all over Suntec with DEARS is a leg-killer. GAH.
Lolth tlu malla.
Would put a proper post here, except my brain just died and revived several times over. I need some brain-cooldown time. Labels: fangirling
... Maybe I should just turn this post into fangirlism. Yeah, I should. You can ignore the rest.
WARNING: Read at your own risk.
GACKT IS ALREADY IN SINGAPORE AND WAS SPOTTED SHOPPING AT TAKASHIMAYA!!!!!!!!!!!11111
(take a deep breath...)
And, because of that, I'm going on a shopping/GACKT-hunting spree at Orchard tomorrow, with other fans I met online. YAY~~~
Looks like my plans to go to Kinokuniya, get manga and then get odango are scrapped~ But nevermind, we're hoping to run into GACKT yay~ Or if not, then it'll have been a fun GACKT-hunt anyway~~~
(... what else can I say here?)
SOME OTHER FANGIRL RAN INTO GACKT AT TAKASHIMAYA AND MANAGED TO SPEAK TO HIM OMGOMGOMG KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(I warned you about the fangirling...)
LUCKYYYYYYY~~~ *envies person*
So I'm planning to blow the rest of my money on GACKT's albums/singles tomorrow. Hehehehe.
Also, we're probably going concert-crashing on the 24th.
LOCATION OF SECRET LIVE HAS BEEN NARROWED DOWN TO EITHER SUNTEC OR BALLROOM OF HOTEL YAY~~~
And even though the hotel's name is not supposed to be revealed, I think I managed to find it after someone posted a few clues online~
SO NOW WE WILL POST PEOPLE AT BOTH LOCATIONS AND SMS EACH OTHER WHEN WE SEE HIM YAY~~~
Must remember to charge phone for tomorrow...
MUST SLEEP NOW OR RISK BEING SLEEPY DURING GACKT-HUNTING TOMORROW.
Fangirling ends here.
Ok, I is not bothered to type anything else now.
Lolth tlu malla.
Rawr. I managed to screw up the picture order for the previous post. Meh, can't be bothered to fix it now anyway. Labels: fangirling, life
Ok, slight very long fangirling rant ahead.
MEI-CHAN NO SHITSUJI IS AWESOME~~~
Although it does remind me somewhat of a certain manga series... coughkuroshitsujicough
IT HAS BUTLERS~~~ Although that's kind of obvious from the title.
Anyway, I finally gave up on actually buying the DVDs, so I just watched it online instead. I ended up marathoning the series, and now I only have 1.5 episodes to go... T.T
Why is it only 10 episodes? AND WHY ISN'T THERE A SP OR 2ND SEASON FOR THIS EPIC-LY AWESOME SERIES~~~ TT.TT
OT: This habit of buying all my J-dramas is starting to cost a lot. At least I don't do this for manga... yet.
Back to the fangirling!
SHINOBU X RIHITO FTW~~~
(Even though there are zero negative chances of this ever happening...)
SUPPORT THE BL, I SAY~~~ *gets dragged off by Edith*
I'll end this post here then.

THEY ACTUALLY SHOWED ADVENT CHILDREN ON TV. AND I MANAGED TO MISS THE WHOLE FIRST QUARTER. *headwalls* Labels: fangirling
Um. I shall use this space for a litte rant monologue.
So, I was watching Boys Over Flowers and Inuyasha, and since it was commercial on both channels, I started flipping through the channels to see what else was showing. AND I FOUND ADVENT CHILDREN. Fine, so it was a dub, but it was still Advent Children. Fiddled with the tv a bit, got it to display full HD. I is awesome.
Well... where to start? VINCENT'S VA IS AWESOME, for one. Even though the rest of the voices sounded kinda off, everyone had major pronunciation problems, Kadaj didn't sound bitchy enough, they really need to stop pronouncing Tifa as 'Teefa', Yazoo sounds like way too feminine, Reno is missing his 'yo's, Yuffie needs to tone down on the accent...
*takes breath*
Ok, might as well use the rest of this space for my little rant monologue. And fangirl away while I'm at it.
I was laughing through this one scene, and only due to what Weiren said:
Sephiroth: I've thought of a parting gift for you...
*Cloud and Seph fight some more*
Sephiroth: *looking down from above* Shall I give you despair?
What Weiren said: Shall I give you this pear?
The translation was ok, although they could have done better at some parts. And I think I interrupted everyone else's sleep with the sheer volume I was watching it at. All I can say is, it's Advent Children.
Plus I only just found out, from reading the credits, that the AC version of One Winged Angel is actually called Advent: One-Winged Angel. I is fail.
Speaking of credits, they actually put 'All Shinra Electric Power Company staff' into the credits at the end, just before 'AND ALL FINAL FANTASY VII FANS!!!' (not sure about the actual number of !s)
And my mind is dead of awesome. Watching the same movie on a 14-inch laptop screen with earphones is not the same as watching it in full HD on a 46-inch tv with surround sound. Kinda obvious, but I didn't really care much until just now.
Hm. Still feeling high from watching, so sleep isn't about to happen. I guess I'll just go back to silent fangirling. Until this high finally wears off...
*puts Advent: One-Winged Angel on loop*
... or maybe not. Either way is fine.
In memory of Kadaj, who (in my mind, at least) died tonight at about 12 midnight.
May Lolth watch over him.
Unless, of course, he prefers Jenova to, which he would, which effectively makes the previous sentence useless, unless Aerith decides to interfere, which she already has, which means she'll want to watch over him herself... never mind.
AND MICHELLE DON'T STRANGLE ME PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE~~~
