It's time for another edition of Midweek Men! ^_^ Let us review our past few chapters:
Week 1: Hyun Bin (Snow Queen), Daniel Henney (My Name is Kim Sam Soon), Miyavi and Mr Rabbit Week 2: Lelouch (Code Geass), Tom Schilling (NAPOLA), Saga (alice nine.) and Mr Rabbit Week 3: Tachibana Keita (w-inds.), Terashima Nobu (NANA), hyde/HYDE (L'arc~En~Ciel) and Mr Rabbit Week 4: Initial D Special! Edison Chen, Shawn Yue, Jay Chou Week 5: American Music Special! Christ Brown, Adam Levine (Maroon 5), Justin Timberlake, Mr Bunny
And so this week, because I am totally biased and I really cannot get over how good Saga looks, we're going to have Japanese Bassist Week featuring HOT! bassists from Jrock bands. =D =D =D
So for the first time, Saga is featured AGAIN! because he fits into this category and hello. He is goodlooking. You can't deny it..xD xD xD BEAMS.
Saga is the bassist of the visual kei band alice nine. which comprises of 4 other members [vocals, drums, 2 guitars]. He composes and mixes the music for the band and collaborates with the other members to produce that unique alice nine. sound. At home, he has a dog and in the alice nine. blogs appears to go out with NAO often to eat ramen. ^_^
alice nine. holds annual tours in Summer and occasionally over the Christmas and New Year period. Signed on to PS Company, alice nine. has just released their PV collection on 2 DVDs, including never-before-seen videos of 月光浴 (Gekkouyoku) and 春夏秋冬 (Shunkashuutou) and also a new single will be out in August entitled "RAINBOWS".
Next up we have REITA from The GazettE!
The GazettE comprises 5 members: Ruki, Uruha, Aoi, Reita, and Kai with the same band layout as alice nine.. They are also signed on to PS Company and release heavy visual kei tracks on their albums. Reita is famed for never showing his nose, covering it with a band of cloth, handkerchief, or something similar, and his skill at the bass.
The GazettE has released 3 top selling albums and 1 compilation album in their career so far. Their latest single is 紅蓮 (Guren) and the PV, as with all their other videos, contains rich imagery. They are supposed to be releasing a single soon, and with their "Stacked Rubbish" tour DVD being released in August, I can't wait to see what else they will have!
Finally, we have Toshiya from Dir en grey!
Originally part of the visual kei scene, Dir en grey members have adopted less flamboyant attire in recent years but remain a solid member of the jrock genre. However, they are one of the most famous jrock bands on the international level and has gained a great following in Europe and USA.
Dir en grey has released only 6 albums in their entire career but sales have done extremely well worldwide. I can't claim to know much about them but I do know that they make terrific music.
And finally, since no one can resist the charms of Bunny-san, let me introduce to you Kapibara-san's friend!
Ｌ’Ａｒｃ～ｅｎ～Ｃｉｅｌの歌「ＤＡＹＢＲＥＡＫ’ＳＢＥＬＬ」が大好き! この歌はグンダム００のＯＰ歌だよ! 特に：願いよ風に乗って夜明けの鐘を鳴らせよ 英語の意味：Please, ride on the wind and ring the daybreak's bell (source: http://pieces.deadsunrise.net/laruku/viewtopic.php?t=5591)
Notes: It's probably more accurate to use 面白かった rather than 楽しかった when describing ドラマ but I don't know.. I always feel like 楽しかった conveys the "fun" feeling better.. Haha..
Anyway, I've finished watching 絶対彼氏 (Zettai Kareshi) already!!! Haha.=D The ending is... Not quite what I wanted but I think they managed to bridge the gap quite well... Still.. I think Riiko should end up with Soshi because HELLO when the perfect guy for you is RIGHT THERE, I think you should grab the chance right around NOW. Haha..=P
So I'm trying to finish 風林火山 (Fuurin Kazan), Darker Than Black and Code Geass R2 while my other anime take zillions of years to be released.=D Wee!! I was trying to look for summer doramas to watch but there don't seem to be any so I might just watch あつひめ (Atsuhime) and 大奥 (Ooku). Haha.. Otherwise, I think there's a dorama about the Tokugawa coming out soon so I'm looking forward to that as well!!! =D
I think I need to practice typing more in Japanese.X__X I can feel it dying already..
