I never actually watch any music videos (except an Alice Nine one...Rainbows...I LOVE that PV, one of my favourite music videos). I just watched a bunch of behind the scenes stuff and interviews...XD
Shou....Shou...He's a very weird person. I think he has a speaking probably or something because he always sounds like he's slurring his words, or like he's not opening his mouth enough. And his mouth is shaped weird...O.o Sorry, I just noticed all these tiny details from all the Alice Nine videos I watched.
I've been trying to figure out HOW these bands become Visual Kei bands. Because Kra, well actually just Keiyuu, was saying how they had to be all dressed up and it was really weird and they were thinking about how the fans were coming to see people who weren't really them. I dunno what that's supposed to mean, but I wonder if they WANTED to be visual kei. Did they just choose their fashion or did their label choose it for them.
What'd be like to be in a visual kei band...I really wonder..Because all of those clothes are REALLY expensive, the hair styles are really hard, and they wear so much make-up, not only that but they also have limits to doing things. I heard they can't go to the beach during the day and they have to go at night if they want to go at all, just so they don't get tanned.
Well, first of all, how come nobody carries umbrellas around anymore? In El Paso I saw SEVERAL people with umbrellas walking around town, when it wasn't even raining. If I ever had those restrictions in something, like to keep my skin as white as it can be, I'd carry around an umbrella. In fact, I'd carry around TONS of different parasols! I LOVE zem! ^ ^
And then you see jpop groups, and they are REALLY free clothing wise. They can just go out there in the sun and get so tan that they burn or something...Well, actually I think they have to at least wear sun screen! XD And then they can wear just a thin shirt and shorts and sandals and that's it.
I'd like to see a visual kei group like Alice Nine or SuG or somebody who wears a TON of clothes (not as much make-up though...they kinda look weird if that's all we're used to) wear thin shirts, shorts, and sandals, and not have such pale skin. That'd be really interesting. Or at least have ONE PV where they're more normal looking.
Not that I don't like visual kei (because I obviously do), but I like seeing different things every now and then. I say Jpop and Visual Kei bands should switch their clothing styles for one time. That'd be really cool! Seeing AAA all visual kei-ish...XD
*laughs* Some lady just called my house and asked if there are any parents around. My parents are out doing stuff in a different town and so I'm free to do whatever (not that I don't when they're here...but it's just uncomfortable to watch videos on youtube, especially visual kei, with them around). But it was so funny her reaction to that she was like 'Oh...uhhh...Okay...Well...I'll just call back...when they're home...I guess...' It was funny! XD
Strange thing is she had a really young sounding voice, so I have no clue who she could've been...it sounded a TINY BIT familiar...Still...
Darn, I've done it again. I keep getting completely side tracked, then coming back to this tab and noticing that I haven't even finished the post OR posted it...TT^TT
I should be studying more Japanese...>.> Which I should be doing right now...Hrmm...I watched one behind the scenes thing with Ayabie and I could understand what ONE of the guys was saying in a short little scene with him. He was talking about some ball thing that was in their Aitakute video and the many things you can do with it, or pretend that it is. It was very funny (because it was the only thing that I could understand).
I've done nothing today...TT^TT
I'm very disappointed in my style. First of all, I LIKE the lineart until I colour it, and then once I colour it I have no clue what I'm doing and mess it up. So I try to fix it on photoshop, but that doesn't work out. And then I notice that the things I like to draw most, like the faces, are the most simplest in the picture. And then I get all depressed and disappointed in my drawings and ugghhhh..It's killing me. My style is so...unstylistic...Yes, I made up a word, but that's the only way I can describe it. I need to do something with the lineart to look like a style, and the something with the colouring that goes with it. Have you guys noticed how my lineart doesn't match the style of colouring I was doing? That's what bother me the most. Stylizing...TT^TT
I should go practice now! After some The Kiddie videos! X3
