Gackt's making ski clothes? And why am I suprised at his skills on the snowboard ._.? Seriously though, he should get some sort of reward for being the most perfect person ever ::bleh::

Love the puppet face :lol:

so new YFC single came out.

All my Love/You Are the Reason
I didnt think I was going to like them that much but I like it better than their first single.

It doesnt blow me away like some of early Gackt stuff but it isnt bad at all. Im not a fan of Gackt and Jon live but on cd they sound good together, and actually I tend to like Jon's parts better. Gackt just has more rough of a voice now since his voice has gone a bit. Just doesnt sound as strong as it used to be. With Jon, his parts sound more smooth and have less strain. Gackt still sounds good but not nearly as good as like he did in the song Rain for instance

I am now sure that this whole YFC thing is a big joke.

Also you might want to add an NSFW warning to that.

Well, for everyone who had to explain the Vanilla single CD cover to anyone, you've just been handed your next challenge @_@
:lol: :lol: :lol:

I honestly shudder to think of the next CD cover.

It'll have the same butt picture, but the hand will be replaced with a big turd.

What made me laugh most was what I think the average Englishman would have commented : nice glove. :lol:

Well, I listened to the entire cd a few times and here are my impressions.

Overall Id say it's a solid album, but not amazing. Which, I wasnt expecting to be. The End of the Day wasnt exactly my favorite song when it came out and it still isnt.

All My Love I thought was a decent ballad and the album version is better, clocking in at almost 10 minutes long. Sounds long but it's better than the original, especially with the end.

And the newest single, Mata, Koko de Aimasho is another alright song. Not great but solid.

So with the singles out of the way, how are the new songs?

The first song Circle is entirely in english. Most of it is understandable, but some parts arent. I think it has more to do with so much going on. There are ALOT of people in the band so sometimes the music can overwhelm the vocals. But it's a faster song and really it isnt bad.

Saishuu Tsuukoku COUNTDOWN is probably the weirdest song on the album. It kinda has a Miyavi feel the way the lyrics are sung. Also during the chorus autotune is used (3 songs total). But it isnt like, T Pain autotune, more what you would see in Techno groups. But it's another fast rock song.

Renai DRIVER ~Foo-san no Uta~ is up next and again, much more english in this song. One of my favorites on the album too. Very upbeat rockish, in your face and playful sort of.

Next is Last Kiss. I liked the live version of the song and I definitely like it here. Guitar parts are a little weird at times due to notes on the upbeats, but I dig the feel of it. Kinda like a desperate, longing rock song.

You are the Reason comes next. I loved the song from the second I heard it on the single. It's unchanged here, but still a really strong song. English is understandable and it just totally rocks.

english version of Mind Forest is next. Mind Forest was never my favorite Gackt song. It was ok and I like it but not as much. Kind of like Wasurenai kara. I like that song as well but its just ok.

Mousou GIRL comes up next and I actually like the live version better. It sounds more fun live. Here is sounds more metalish. TONS going on as well so it can be kinda overwhelming instrumentation wise. With three guitars, in this song it kind of doesnt sound as good as it could. It sounds darker in the chorus and just heavier overall. I like heavy music but for the feel that the song is going for, it doesnt work as well live wise. Whole song has the techno type vocals.

End of the day, Mata, and All My Love are next.

Last song is Not Alone. Completely different from the rest of the album. Vocals once again have a weird filter, but the song sounds good in general. Softer song, but not a ballad.

I like Gackt's outfit but his hair looks ridic with those clothes (and in general, really). Also, too tight in the crotch.

The real story here though are Tommy Hilfiger's pants - not to mention the shoes he chose to pair them with. This dude is a fashion designer?
