yeah i just decided to log in to see what all the fuss is about and ....yuck. XD;; haha i don't like the new dA at allllll~ the only good thing seems to be the thumbnail previews to the artwork~ i do like that. but you know then again i don't because wasn't part of the fun in dA was to click on someone's artwork and have it pop up and totally surprise you? i mean idk, maybe that was just me but like now if i want to do someone a bday gift or something, they'll see it in the thumbnail first T.T

i understand the need for change, sites need to update. but i think there comes a time when there is too much...like a lot of the stuff they added is pointless. i wish they would let you customize your own dA page instead...that would have been better. and we're supposed to be "artists" so why not let us really express our artistic individualities further? haha at least let ppl choose their own color scheme or something!!

well these are just my opinions though LOL. XDDD;;; i'm sure everyone is going to be like "WAT. U DON'T LIEK IT?" D: D: D:

and it looks now that going through messages is going to take even LONGER DX so yeah i think this really does it for me. i'm not saying i'm gonna leave DA permanently but at this point it's pointless and impossible for me to keep up with all the comments and stuff. OAO;; so for now, i'll be basically dead on DA. i might still submit my drawings but other than that, i won't be active on here. who knows? i might come back again but for now, especially since i'm really busy for preparing for college and things, i'm really not gonna be on.

that doesn't mean i won't be on the internet at all though. i'll def be on lj~ feel free to add me. just tell me who you are and i'll add you ^^ [link]

i'm also on MSN a lot 8D;; if you want that, comment below with your MSN and i'll add you~ ^^ i'll be checking DA one last time for messages in response to this journal entry.

well that's about it~ i do have one last thing to say: everyone i've met on here has been just...awesome. haha i'm getting upset a little now....srsly. it's been exactly one year and one day since i joined DA and it's kinda weird to think that i'm going on a hiatus now. anyways, i just want to thank you all for being....there you know? like, your artwork has truly inspired me~ i would have never have started portraits had it not been for all the amazing artwork i've seen on here. and DA has some of the nicest ppl on the internet, i've made some really good friends on here, met a lot of interesting ppl. and all in one year! *o* anyways, i guess what i'm trying to say is goodbye but....oh gawd it's too hard for me. well i know one day i'll be back for good. until then, thank you for your comments, faves, watches, critiques....thank you all for everything.

haha i know i'm still not on DA a lot it seems i just don't have the time, plus i'm liking livejournal more and more now DA isn't as fun as lj i hate to say it ><;; and i spend most of my time on lj now anyways~ so i think for now on, i'm only going to be logging into DA like once a week and stuff.

i'm sorta in an art block now, but i plan to start drawing on Sunday...i'm making myself draw LOL! XDDDD;;; and i'll be doing YUMEHITO next *squeals* random side note, but has anyone seen the latest Cure scans of him? haha WHY DO I FIND YUME SITTING ON A UNICORN ATTRACTIVE?! D: *shot* i'm not drawing that pic fyi but he looks amazing there and yeah sljflsjsl /fangirling

and lastly i just have to mention this but arisu's RAINBOWS PV....HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! most fail pv ever~~~~!!!! the capslock_alice9 comm on lj has been exploding....there has def been over 200 macros made out of that pv already...lawl i made 30 myself! ok Shou really scares me in it. Saga looks like a 70s drag queen on crack, Nao looks ridiculous in the silver pants and his marching band drum, Pon is ok (love the bit of ponography at the end haha). the only one who doesn't fail in this is Tora...he actually looks really cool O___O and very smexy~ bwahahaha, i srsly think they stole the idea from that OK GO music video for this. haha oh and Shou ttly screws up saying the rainbow colors in engrish, he says them out of order...UR DOIN' IT WRONG SHOU! <- the icon says it all haha oh and the biggest fail of this pv? the fact that there are NO RAINBOWS at allllllllll in it!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

i could go on and on about that pv but i won't bore you all. if you haven't seen it yet, then just...here -> [link] ONCE YOU SEE IT YOU CANNOT UNSEE IT!!!!!!!11!ONE!!1! >__O;;; D: D: D:

haha but in all seriousness i LOVE the song...this is my fav song from the "new" arisu thus far!!

btw today (well yesterday japan time) is Shou's birthday!!! yay happy birthday *tosses "A" rainbow confetti* whoooo~ 8D;; send him fanmails, i already did. XD;;

_{OMFG!!! I CAN'T CHANGE MY MOOD ON MY JOURNAL ENTRIES ANYMOAR!! THE HELL? OH GREAT AND IT FIGURES THAT I GET STUCK WITH LLAMA T______T YEAH...AND I'M LIKE AFRAID OF LLAMAS SO THIS REALLY WORKS OUT PERFECTLY.}

hello everyone~ ^^
well as you all know (or maybe didn't know ) i went to animeNEXT over the weekend to see Rentrer en Soi!!! *__* so much happened and i'm still in a daze from it, but i shall try to say as much as i can about the concert.

ok so first off, the con itself was alright. a bit disorganized and there really wasn't much to do LOL. but the cosplayers, they were all so so good! >3<;;; everyone was at the top of their game~ i got many good pics of cosplayers. laawl, idk if it's ok to upload cosplay photos on here or not well anyways, i'm sure if you search on youtube someone has already posted pics and stuff XD;;; anyways, ppl seemed to like my outfit for some unknown reason i wasn't even at the con for 15 min waiting in line when ppl started taking pics of me it was all cool though~ i let them take as many pics as they wanted LOL.

so ok, onto what actually happened at the con! first off, on Friday i met !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i was so happy~ ^^ and i ttly wasn't expecting it but she gave me the most beautiful drawing ever~ you guys should see it soon when she posts it ^^ (btw, i ttly need to take pics of the other side and you should submit that too because that's just too epic not to! ) we spent the whole time together on friday, i really enjoyed it!! laaaaaawl we ttly need to do this again for another jrock concert so me & were able to get VIP tickets. we had originally thought that we would be in seats but it turned out that the VIP tickets were for the MOSH PIT!!! O_______O i had never been in a mosh pit before so i was like jfsajflaflhal!!!! i know there was like 400 ppl in there, maybe even more. they packed us in like sardines ><;; but it ended up being ok~ i had plenty of room when ReS came on...

now onto the show. ok, i have watched a lot of lives before for jrock bands, i have been to taste of chaos and seen a jrock band perform before. i have even watched other Rentrer en Soi lives. but this, this concert....there will never be another one like it. that crowd was insane. but in a good way. i have NEVER heard an audience cry their hearts out so much to a band before in my entire life. it's as if we were all screaming so hard for ReS to make sure they knew just how much we loved them. they started off with Just Mad Pain and everyone was screaming and going insane, including me 8'DD;; i was about 3 rows of ppl back from the stage so i was fairly up close and dead in the center. ^^ i had a very nice view of Satsuki LOL. anyways, by the time they got to Stigmata which was the 3rd song, i could tell Satsuki & the rest of the band realized just how much we loved them. honestly, i think they expected there to be a few fans, nothing more. i could tell that they were touched, especially when everyone was singing along with him to Stigmata. that song was one of the best~ he did the cross hand motion thing with his hands and everything! i was memorized a lot by him as i was watching him. after that i could tell the band really got into it. they basically played all the songs off of Bottom of Chaos, Protoplasm, and a BUNCH of others that i simply can't remember. they also played UNENDING SANCTUARY for us, their new single coming out next month. gaiz, this song is good LOL. i can't wait til it comes out~

anyways, one of the songs that i was dying to hear was Last Word. well...they played it. and when i heard it start, i just....tears just came to my eyes. yes i was crying (and you shut up meckers XDD; throughout that song, i just waved my arm back & forth with everyone else and just stared at Satsuki with tears. so after that like i said, they played a TON of songs...i still can't remember them all. oh but during the one, Satsuki was having us all jump, lawl, i had been wearing heels for 16 hours and my feet were killing me, but i jumped anyways! also during one song he held the mic to his heart and that was really cool too! he also had us headbang (of course XD) and raise our fists and basically he got the crowd to do whatever he wanted and we all did it! haha, but i think we really surprised ReS when we were just as loud and had just as much energy as we did in the beginning, so much so that Satsuki had to tell us to be quiet and he went "shhhh" really softly into the mic LMAO! but yeah for that song we were then quiet (some ppl continued to scream though >> well after they finished, of course we all screamed for an encore. and we even yelled it the japanese way XD;; ankoru...ankoru...ANKORU! well they finally came out again and played like 4 more songs, then they left the stage again. well then half the audience thought it was overwith, but then they came out for a 2nd ENCORE. i was ttly shocked...after that, they started throwing things. they threw like 6 guitar picks (no lie! *o*) like 4 drumsticks, i saw 3 towels, and omg a ton of water bottles 8D;; i got soaked by Shun & Takumi 3 times XDD;; up until that point the crowd was awesome. but then ppl started literally wrestling on the floor and getting hurt over these things and i was a little disappointed in that >> but other than that it was great!

ok wow that was long and i tried to make it as short as possible O___O so that was friday...SATURDAY they had the Q&A, autograph signing, and photo. the Q&A was really interesting and funny...ReS is such a mysterious band ahahhhahaha. so it was cool learning more about them. so some interesting facts to share with you all:

-Takumi is OBSESSED with Spongebob (he mentioned it several times!!)
-They are really good friends with...GIRUGAMESH!!
-They all like cats except for Ryo who doesn't like pets XD;;
-Satsuki is a player XD (not really) he said stuff like how cute American girls are and how he is not as cute as all of us (meaning the audience) when asked how he feels about seeing himself on posters and stuff!
-Ryo is a major drinker ahahahahhahahaaha!!!!! he mentioned drinking several times...lulz.
-I'm pretty sure Shun said he wanted to go to Utah because he is a big Prison Break fan!!
-When asked when was the first time you started playing/singing, Satsuki answered "when i gave my first cry as a baby" ^w^;;
-i wish i remember the others, but when asked what is their fav english word, Satsuki said "Attitude!" (and yes i mostly paid attention to Satsuki because he is my fave~ 8D;

so after the Q&A, I GOT MY PICTURE TAKEN WITH THE BAND. YOU HAD TO SIT BETWEEN SATSUKI & TAKUMI IN FOLD-UP CHAIRS WITH THE REST OF THE BAND STANDING BEHIND YOU. hahaha, what's really weird is that i was ttly not nervous at all~ and guess wut gaiz? I REMEMBER IT!! 8DDD;; lulz, no blanking out!! so yeah i sat down and had my pic taken...as i was walking up to them, Satsuki waved at me i did a peace sign and Takumi glanced over at me, smiled, and then did a hand sign with me too!!! oh and i sorta touched Satsuki's leg too accidentally my skirt was really poofy so it touched him LOL. haha idk if i'll post my pic with them on here or not....i don't want to brag/show-off you know? well anyways, just trust me, it's an awesome pic!

after that was the autograph session. again, it's so weird but i didn't blank out this time!!! and like ReS is like my top 4 bands that i listen to EVERYDAY so that was weird that i didn't blank anyways, i remember the order was this: mika, takumi, satsuki, shun, and ryo. they each signed my CDs and i shook each of their hands. then when i got to Satsuki, the best thing in my life happened....

after he finished signing my stuff, i say to him :anou..watashi wa kono e wo kaite agemasu..." and then i handed him my drawing. well he looked tired at the Q&A session so i thought he wouldn't be that excited about it. well, i was ttly wrong. his eyes got sooooooooo huge LMAO!!! and then he goes "whoooooooooaaaaa!!!" literally that long!!! and i think he said sugoi, and then, he gave me the biggest, warmest smile!!!!!!!! i could have died there. his reaction...that made my life complete. i was so happy that he was so happy~ ahahaha i can't describe the feeling, it was just...great.

so after that, i shook Shun & Ryo's hand and that was that! this concert was srsly the best thing that has ever happened to me. this was so much better than taste of chaos! ReS means so much to me...everything i've been through was so worth it. it was so worth seeing them in the end~ that was a once in a lifetime performance...i know i'm never going to forget how Satsuki's voice sounds live or just that night in general ever. ReS for life

sorry for the long post...haha i write way too much >> btw links to youtube vids for this:

omg! i didn't die gaiz!! i'm back on dA again!!
wow, last time i updated my journal was in April O_____O it's almost been 2 months without being on here =A=;;

so a lot has happened. for one, I FINALLY GRADUATED!! i'm done with high school forever!!!!! it's such a nice feeling to know i don't have to go to school anymore (well i'll be going to college but that's different ) so now i'm on summer break and it feels really good! i now have time to do things like oh i don't know, go on dA!! XD XD XD

omg, last time i updated i mentioned about seeing Ayabie...well that all changed once i found out that Rentrer en Soi would be playing at animeNEXT!!! so i bought tickets to the con and V.I.P tickets for the concert. so i'm definitely going to be there...so soon! it's next Friday!!! AHHHH! so yeah, I'M GOING TO THE CON GAIZ. COME AND SAY HI TO ME IF YOU SEE ME. I PROMISE I'M NOT THAT INSANE. 8DDD lulz, but in all srs bsnz, if anyone is going let me know ^^ i'll be hanging out with on Friday (oh gawd, we're going to be crazy together...LOL ) and with on Saturday (omg IZZY!!! we get to meet finally... ahahahahhahahaha XDDDD) i'll be hanging out with these two pretty much the whole time at the con, so if you spot us, plz be saying hiiiiiiiiiiiii if you're going, i'll send you pics of my cosplay outfit so you'll know what to look for

oh i just submitted my Satsuki drawing too ummm check it out if you want to...don't laff at it though DX

i've also had the time now to watch anime again. i'm obsessed with Code Geass now gaiz 8'D;; i finished the first season and just that show is amazing, i'm watching season 2 right now. so so good >3<;; haha and i got hooked on it too if you haven't seen it, do so. if you like Death Note, i guarantee you'll like this too.

oh yeah, this is really weird but the last time i updated i was concerned about Shou recovering from surgery...well now i'm upset again because of the stupid fake news that spread about him being in a car accident T_________T totally not cool...gawd all yesterday i was so worried. srsly, why do ppl do such horrid things? ;__; making all the fans worry like that....sometimes i just don't understand the world. well, even though i'm still pissed about it, i'm very grateful that the news is NOT true & Shou is ok ^^

so yep that's about it waow, i have over 400 deviations and like a bajillion messages to reply to give me a few days and i'll get to them all~ it feels good to be back!!!

*sigh* it feels every time i log onto DA anymore, i'm just apologizing for not replying, blah. i feel so horrible for it still >.<

it's getting to be the end of the school year for me ( only 29 more school days left for me!!!) and because i am a senior, this time of the year is extremely busy for graduation, looking for summer jobs, college...it's all mind boggling and it leaves me very little time to log onto DA anymore but i haven't forgotten you all & i hope you are all doing fine! i truly miss you guys <3 and thank you so much for the comments & new watchers and stuff...it really means a lot to me.

the only thing that i still am somewhat updating is my livejournal right now, but even that not really. i go on it everyday though real quick to check the communities (always have to check jrockhumor, the alice nine communities and others 8D) so i guess if you miss me or something, you will probably have a better chance at getting a response from me on lj than on here ; i'm just letting you all know this because my DA is probably going to be mostly dead until the end of May...DX

art-wise, i haven't done anything (obviously XD; but i do plan on starting a drawing either tomorrow or Monday...i know what i want to draw now...and of course it's like the hardest pic T___T (why can't i like something simple?! =A=; you all will know soon enough what it is, because this time i'll be submitting W.I.P. for the first time so you all can laugh at how i draw!!

btw, i asked this on my lj, but i've gotten the urge to watch some jdramas here lately...anyone have any recommendations? sadly, i have never watched any jdramas in my life ;A; lol, i !! XD;; i don't know where to begin, so plz will you help me?

and finally, i'm pretty sure i'm going to see Ayabie in concert in June...don't know for sure yet, but i'm almost postitive....if anyone finds out that they're going to see Ayabie too, PLZ LET ME KNOW!! XD;;

that is all everyone~ plz take care without me!
(and i hope Shou-kun feels well soon too, poor dear got his tonsils taken out in case you weren't aware already )
