Gackt has a single called 'returner' coming out on June 20th. ^_^
it's not on yesasia.com yet, but you can pre-order it on cdjapan.com.

there are two versions: normal about $9.95. limited (which includes a dvd of the music video) for about $14.00.

I think this song is for the tv series 'furin kazaan' which he stars in this year.

*sidenote*

there are really good Japanese films, anime and tv series out there, so I'm going to write up some reviews on what I find out in the gallery. ^_^

(no videos, music or pictures today) gomen. TT_TT

but, expect updates around the 20th or 21st. ^_~

mostly because I have a host student from Japan coming for a week, and I need
to stay with her at all times. so I can't sit at the computer and have her sitting there, plus I have a 5 hr. project due for history. O_o
blah, let's get on with it, shall we? ^_^

-news-

Japans 'local countries' have seals (symbols) representing the country.
so, Japan itself is a yellow flower. tokyo is a green leaf, yokohama is a red S sign,
ect. I really like the blue 'snowflake' shape symbol for Fukuoka. ^_^

probably one of the best times to travel to Japan is in the spring. ^_^
when you go in the spring, there will be alot of cherry trees blooming.
cherry blossoms are so beautiful...

oh, here's a link to a website with a LOT of Japanese recipes for you all to try at home, you may need to go to an Asian market in your town for ingrediants.

[link]

just look around, you'll find some really tasty things. (I haven't tried them all yet!)
so far, I've eaten...

yakisoba-fried noodles with chicken (I don't favor it, but the meat is good)
green tea ice cream-green tea flavored ice cream (I really loved this treat!)
tempura ice cream-fish flavored ice cream (bleh, NEVER EAT THIS STUFF!) O_o
rice ball-a rice ball with various flavors (I favor the tuna-rice balls)
udon-cold noodles with sweet dipping sauce (this was pretty tasty)

I have yet to try sushi and other meals, I've only cooked three recipes though. XD

'news' my Japanese teacher (who is from Taiwan) told me that all Japanese look
younger than their actual age. (take Gackt for example, he's about 30 and he still
looks 25) it is because they retain their youth until the age of 40. around the age of 40, they look a little older. (AKA the aging process kicks in)

timeline (not official, an estimation):

20's: normal
30's: appear to be in the 20's
40's: eh...30ish looking

the rest is unknown...that's as far as I've gone. XD

my name is Lindsey, and I'm the host for the Japan club 'japan-lovers'.

this club is all about people who love Japan (music, anime, video games, ect.)
come together and celebrate the Japanese.

this club doesn't really have anything to do with membership or contests.
it's about people talking to other people about japan and japan related material. ^_^

these are the rules for the club:

1.) flaming: I will not accept poor behavior towards this club and the members.
just keep it clean and respect one another. this is an open club.
meaning, anyone can join. if someone treats another like trash, I will ask you to
leave and never come back. if you do further damage, I will report you.
ok? ^_^

2.) art submission: if you want me to submit your art/writing into the gallery, send me a note with with the link to your chosen submission. so you are properly credited. ^_^

3.) video clips: if you have any cool video clips, all I ask is that you send them to
me by copy-paste into a note. these clips must be from youtube only!
what you send me, I'll post into the daily journal under 'video clips'. ^_^

and..that's all! simple rules, ne? XD

here is a list of subjects related to Japan (so you know what to expect out of this):

*music: Jrock, Jpop, ect. (example: Gackt, Dir En Grey, Hyde, ect.)
*movies/tv shows: anime, japanese drama's.
*video games: games from Japan. (example: final fantasy, katamari, ect.)

in every journal entry, I will post any news about Japanese related material.

'Japan', 'music', and 'videos'. ^_^

by the way, some of you may know me from my other account,
kadajs-kitsune. XD
