Midweek Men: Week 3

Hello!

Time for another edition of Midweek Men. Shall we review our past guys?
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

Who will we have this week?

First up..

Tachibana Keita! =D Gosh I love this image of him.^_^ [And no. I will NOT feature his new shaggy dog-like hair.-_-"]

Keita is the lead singer in the boy-band, w-inds., and his fellow members are Ryuichi and Ryohei. They have 7 albums under their belt and countless singles like most J-pop groups. w-inds. has also had 5 tours to date and Keita is now concurrently pursuing a solo career. He has already released a solo album entitled "声" (Koe, or voice in Japanese) and has 2 singles.

And...

Nobu! xD Terashima Nobuo. =D Oh Nobu. You're such a nice guy.^_^

Nobu is a character in the manga/anime/live action movie NANA, created by Yazawa Ai. He is a member of BLACK STONES, fronted by Oosaki Nana, and he plays the guitar while Shin plays the bass and Yasu the drums. He's also Nana's best friend, always there for her and (up to episode 39 of the anime at least) is in love with Hachi (otherwise known as Komatsu Nana). He's the son of a rich ryokan-owning family but has defected and gone to Tokyo with his band to pursue their dream of going major.^_^

Of course, we cannot forget..

Mr Bunny! =D Oh how adorable you are in all your variations!

And finally. ^_^

hyde!!! xD OH HYDE YOU ARE TOO GOODLOOKING. I absolutely adore this picture of him during his FAITH tour.=D =D =D

hyde is the lead singer of L'Arc~en~Ciel and also has a successful solo career as HYDE. He's married [I think] and has a kid but keeps all that private stuff under wraps of course. He has released 6 albums in total though some are overseas editions as a solo artist, starting off with roentgen and his latest offering, FAITH. He completed his solo US Tour last year and has just released a new single with Laruku called "SEVENTH HEAVEN" [PV only, the single releases 30 May] and will soon release their 31st single, "MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM".

^_^ And thus! Another Midweek Men episode is born.=) I hope to keep updating it and hope I won't forget about it.=P

In other news!

Gackt's new single cover is amazing!!! =D Above is the regular edition cover for his new single, RETURNER～闇の終焉～. ^_^ I am looking forward to it!!! =D It'll be released 20 June.=D

And coupled with alice nine.'s new single release for WHITE PRAYER...

*squee!* 6 June!!! =D =D =D They aren't major so I don't know whether alice nine. will be everywhere but... one can hope! Beams.

I've been reviewing anime episodes and such. I want to watch these:
- Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
- Rozen Maiden [ancient but looks good]
- Sumomo mo Momo mo

They are all ancient... and probably licensed. Doesn't that mean I have to wait for the VCD to come out here?! Something which will probably never happen. HMM.

Okay. My nose has been dripping ALL DAY. -_-" And I cannot stop sniffling. Something that annoys me and probably everyone around me but they are too polite to say anything. Oh kind souls! I must recover by this weekend!!! [Before I kill all the trees on this planet, and contribute to global warming even more.] -_____-"
cheers
*[-witchstone-]*

[music : FANTASY alice nine.]
[mood : annoyed at sniffly nose]
[food : --]

zeelei: Darling! Yoshiki's myspace has been there forever! And yes. I read his angsty blog entries too.=X Most of the artists who are moving into America [like Dir en grey for example] have myspace! So mainstream but nevermind. *is accepting*

Labels: alice nine, anime, Gackt, Hyde, midweek men, NANA, Tachibana Keita, w-inds
