S.K.I.N. - Gackt and Yoshiki's band pre-discussion

[Kyuketsuki]

Sorry, sorry! I'm just the queen of double posts this week- mods, please don't hurt me!

SMITE!


Nah, as long as it's relevant news, especially up-date sort of stuff, and there is a reasonable time gap between the two posts you will not sustain any bodily harm.

I just sent in my resume and samples of my work to apply for a translator position. We'll see what happens with that. :-P

And thanks for all the updates!

Thank you everyone! Someone on YT who was part of my "we can't make it to the concert so let's make a temporary support group so we don't lose our minds" group sent me a message about the site being up an hour before I got the message itself. I've been on it ever since until about an hour ago when my grandpa told me it was late and time for bed and forced me off. Now that everyone's asleep, I 'm back. Thank god 'My Name is Kim Sam-soon' was on, or else I would have been pacing the floor for an hour. XD

Elec! Please let me know how that goes. God damn it, I'm pissed that I've only had a year of Japanese- I want to be apart of that so badly, but there's nothing I can do. Please keep us updated on anything they say to you.

I've joined their forum under the name "Koroshiya"- I use kyuketsuki too much lately and I don't want any unknown reputation I might have to follow me around. It happens.

If anything amazing happens, I'll post it here. I'll stay on until I can't stay awake anymore. This is so exciting.

I'm on it as La-li-lu-le-lo.

Okay, so here's the run down now- There was some article floating around SKIN's wiki page (which I subsequently deleted due to the fact it was in japanese and that there were no other sources to back it up- that, and the fact people kept saying crazy things to me about it) about november and X Japan or something stupid like that- ends up it was wrong. The mods over at the OF have said that SKIN's japanese debut will be in November, but that this can't be confirmed until next week.

However, from what I've read elsewhere, this could conflict with japanese venue schedules for proper places to play, not to mention other members' plans that might come up.

Anyway, we'll find out for sure next week.

edit: We've got our first live review: http://mcvarmazi.livejournal.com/1292986.html

Holy shit, they put on one hell of a show!!!

 

[Formless]

Damn... Kohta would be more better <_<;

As much as I love PIERROT/ANGELO.. Ju-ken is a far better choice, I think.

 

[Kyuketsuki]

y hallo ther, formless, I see you on. XD

edit: do you have any idea how to get an av up on there? It's driving me nuts, because all I can get is a profile pic- I dunno why the two are different. Let me know if you figure it out.

 

[boi de memoire]

yeah , Junken = official bassist, that rocks xD

 

[Kyuketsuki]

Just in: It's confirmed that Sugizo's the lead guitarist. Read 'em and weep, fangirls.

I'm a bigger Meev fan than a Sugizo fan and yet that doesn't surprise me or disappoint me at all. :-P It's extremely appropriate.

I didn't know who that 'ju-ken' guy was but I checked him out and damn what an impressive resume.

Good, I'm glad. I don't know much about him either, and I think that's going to make a lot of people go "Who? " for a little while, but from what I've heard, he's very good. It's reassuring to hear it again from you guys.

Not yet, but I'll ask Kuri on AIM.

No, no, it's good- someone started a topic about it and it ended up being a glitch and they fixed it. Thank you, though!

Kyuketsuki. . .I just lost about an hour from the other forum. thanks. I joined up as ray=out. I like the layout, seems like a good forum (dont kick me out scape!). It seems that the JRR street team is different from SKIN's mailing list/street team. So if your interested in that, join up!

good luck Elec, that'd be a cool position. Im studying in Asian and Asian American studies so I'm hoping to do something like that sometime down the line.

You won't believe this, but I was just looking at your user name and image two seconds ago.

Yeah, they said it was separate, but I think the mods said that they haddn't set up the SKIN street team yet. I'm waiting for them to tell us whether or not if we signed up to the street team if that already put us on the mailing list, and she said she didn't know and wouldn't know for a little while and that she'd get back to us.

just got back from lj.

my god. o_o reviews, pictures.... crazy fangirls....

*OFFICIAL UPDATE ROUND-UP*

Alright kids, this is the Official Update Round-up of tonight's events, because I'm tired, things are winding down, and I might actually want to sleep for once

Okay:

-Want to know what happened at the concert? Click here!

-Set list is as follows:
1. GEI-SHA
2. Killing you softly
3. Beneath the Skin
4. Violets <---(song that you hear in their sample teaser that was played at Jrock revolution last may)

-We have an Official Bassist! It's Ju-ken from GacktJob. Apparantly he's very good, so no complaints!

-Official video of some sort from the concert will most likely be released by the people running the official S.K.I.N. home page, which is here: http://www.skin-online.net since there was a pretty massive crackdown on cameras and the like at the show. If you do find something, know that those people risked their lives to get it.


aaaaand....ummmm....am I forgetting anything? I think this is the most important stuff. This summary is basically everything we've been talking about for the past few hours in a nutshell.

Source for just about everything: S.K.I.N. Online Official Forums

PS: Some vids can be found at the site which must not be named under the sn "pikachax2713". There's only a couple up now, but there's more to come, they said. XD Poor Gackt, I can't understand a word he's saying...

 

[KissMark]

^Seems like LJ isn't working for me right now
I'll definetly go check at the SITE MOST FORBIDDEN OF THEM ALL DUN DUN DUN~~

Thanks for keeping up with all the info!


edit: Oh boy, it sure seems they were rocking!
I'm actually much more excited now than I was last night. The piano+piano+violin+shamisen(sp?) part seems painfully awesome!

 

[Kyuketsuki]

No prob! I just watched some of the newer ones, and Gackt is singing like normal again! I'm really relieved- I didn't know what he was going to do with this particular project.

 

[FluffyJuney]

I can make out the "SHOUT! SHOUT! SHOUT!" but the miyavi intro I cannot even grasp at all DX

I don't know much of miyavi's work, honestly.. but the strut he did.. wow, I think I like him. hahaha

 

[KissMark]

I can make out the "SHOUT! SHOUT! SHOUT!" but the miyavi intro I cannot even grasp at all DX

It was something like "japanese accent, japanese accent... Who is in? Who is in?! *kissy* more japanese accent!"

Poor gackt, he must have been really nervous. ::kisaki::


okayyyy I'm seriously going to bed now. >_>

edit: Shit! They got busted over at the OF for the yt links. I just feel bad for everyone- the mods, the fans who couldn't go, and the poor people trying to help. Eh, it's a vicious cycle, this stuff is....
