I don't want this community to die~!!

No one has posted about this, so I'll be the first. :D

TASTE OF CHAOS. Who was there? I definitely was. Amazing, huh? I, for one, thought the audience received the JRockers really well.

Comments? Opinions?

Name: TIff
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Town: Fayetteville
Bands: Buck-Tick, L'Arc En Ciel and X-Japan
SINGERS: Atsushi Sakurai and Hyde
Current Favorite Song: "Love Me" by Buck-Tick
Yahoo! username: shizukas_twilight

Other stuff about me...well, there's not much to say. I've been a Buck-Tick since the beginning of last year. I really can't remember how I found out about them. The first PV I ever watched was "Dress" and then "Romance". I've gotta say, the 17+ plus years between those PV's is just mind-boggling. I've been a L'Arc En Ciel fan since their album "Ark". And of course, X-Japan. *wipes tears* Long Live Hide!

Also, I am a full-time student, I'm married, I play the piano, I draw and paint and I'm planning on going to Japan in two years. Who wants to go?

Tired of going to jrock roleplay coms that all happen to be dead? Or your favourite jrocker is taken? Mods that are too strict? Well- that's pretty much all of us.

Yoshinkai University is an AU Roleplay community where you can RP as your favorite JRocker. You can be either a student or a teacher, and dorm rooms will be assigned. All JRockers from all bands are welcomed. From X-Japan, to Ancafe, to Dir en grey. Dead JRockers are welcome, too. So why not join?

Well, the community's just open so there's lots of spots left!

Moving

2005-10-28T14:44:11Z

I am finally getting out of this stupid ass state.

Next week, I am moving to California. I am going for school, in which I am majoring in Japanese with a minor in Fashion Design. I am also visiting Japan this summer for a month. In three years, I will be moving to Japan for a year, as a part of a foreign exchange program. I hope to do an internship while I'm there. After that year, I come back to California for a year, and then I fully plan to move back to Japan.

So, I'm saying goodbye to Arkansas!

Keep spreading the jrock scene through Arkansas! ^^

Holy shiat this is neat.

Band(s) you like the most: Dir en grey, GAZETTE, nightmare, SADS [disbanded], PIERROT, Plastic Tree, L'Arc~en~Ciel, baroque [disbanded], FAKE?, merry
Singer(s) you like the most: kiyoharu, miyavi, hide, gackt [only a few songs]
Current Favorite Song(s): C [Dir en grey], THE FINAL [Dir en grey, simply a masterpiece], Ila. [baroque], dekiai no suisou [merry], Forbidden Lover [L'Arc~en~Ciel], Last Bouquet, Cockroach, ~zetsu~, Sugar Pain, Raven Loud Speeeaker [nightmare]

Yeah...I had no idea there were others with my music tastes in this state. Looked at the last entry, and, seeing as it was made over a month ago - doesn't look to promising. Anyways, I go to Central High School and know only one other person that listens to JRock. Erm...what else...well, the first JRock I heard was from hide, the song "Flame" - someone thought that was by the pillows...my absolute fav band, and the first jrock band I got into, is Dir en grey [its been about 4 years now]. I'm a proud owner of several legit cds and dvds - the same for a couple other artists b/c I enjoy supporting them, etc.

ppl in the area shout out...if you are.

Hey, go sign this petition, please. Even if you don't like Kagerou, please go sign it. I really would love for them to come! (Maybe open for Diru in america like they did their european lives??) I'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much!!

Singer(s) you like the most: Miyavi, TM Revolution
Current Favorite Song(s): "Jealous"-Dir en grey, "Web of Night"- TM Revolution, and more, that's just all I can think of right now haha
Other Things You Wish to Tell: My cousin, Thea komorebi_382 was listening to dir en grey one day and I thought it sounded interesting. I came over on new year's eve and she was watching Dir en grey. I watched it with her and I have been hooked since. She has introduced me to many bands and other aspects of japanese culture, to the point that I wrote an essay on it recently for my english class (Thanks for letting me borrow the CURE mag, Fruits book, Dir en grey and Miyavi cd cases, and more for my visual aids, Thea!) Now, she told me to join this community. So I did. ^^

Yep yep

2005-09-01T15:45:37Z

Well, since nothing ever happens in the community, I decided to make a random post with a picture of Kagerou. Why? Because Kagerou rocks.

I MAY be moving to Florida soon, but I'm not sure. So, I wonder if I should stay in the community, if I move... but... I was born and raised here, so maybe I can stay? Even if nothing ever happens here! Haha.

On another note, I'm sure you have all heard about Dir en grey coming. Who plans to go? I plan to go... to every live they do in america. I'll be driving there, so if anyone needs a ride, since it won't be out of the way to pick you guys up, wherever they might come, please let me know, and I will give you a ride. I have to go to Colorado and Georgia to pick up friends as well, so it will be alot of fun!! ^^

Also, is anyone going to the Phantomsgoria live in October? I hope to go, but since I recently moved out, money is tight. Even though Houston isn't that far away. I have to see if I have a new car come Oct. 15th. Then I will decide. Once again, I may be able to pick you up if I do go, if you want to go along. Just please let me know ^^.

Anyway, I hope this post might get this community going again! My cousin will also be joining it soon, since I got her into jrock back in January, so yea!! ^^
