I am the real Kinsao Ikioa. My interests encompass the whole world, with the exception of golf. I enjoy music, especially metal, J-rock, goth, industrial goth and late-20th-century rock. At the moment my favourite bands include Közi, Malice Mizer, Dir en grey, Alice Cooper, SID, Avenged Sevenfold, Kagerou, D'espairsRay, Eve of Destiny, Aushvitz, Art Marju Duchain, Kagrra and many others. I trained as a Fine Art practitioner. I also like motorbikes (particularly classic British bikes), darkness, holidays, hot blokes and vanilla ice latte (not necessarily in that order). I speak French and English and I am learning Japanese. I currently live and work in England.
I got the new MUCC album. It is AWESOME!!! Listening to it, I thought I was about to die of pleasure... Seriously, I didn't think it was possible for them to get any better, but I was wrong... that bass... and guitars... and Tatsurou's voice kills me, absolutely kills me... @_@
I've also got the latest Kagerou single, but not listened to it yet.
I got the Deathgaze single, too, which is good but I do prefer their earlier stuff...
However, I have now got 'Yuuwaku' by Glay well and truly stuck in my head...
*sings* "Toki ni ai wa futari wo tameshiteru Because I love you
Kiwadoi shisen wo furikitte wow, wow, wow"
*ahem* sorry... I have to do that... ^_^
I'm making reasonable progress on learning to sing those three SID songs, too ('Ajisai', 'Ao' and 'Watashi wa ame'). 'Watashi wa ame' is kinda high for me, but when I turn up the volume it's really not so difficult at all. Dunno what the neighbours think, though, as I yodel "watashi mo ikimaaasuuuuuuuuuu...." on the top of my voice... XD ><. I loooove it... ^_^
Ohhh... the SID song 'Izon no Niwa' is... fantastic... (did I mention this before? lol). The bass line... it's one of those things that probably isn't amazingly hard to play, but which is incredibly effective. 'Tasty' is really the word for it - it literally makes my mouth water! (Note: interesting physiological response - investigate whether certain note frequencies can induce this response by stimulating the brain in a particular way.)
Steve called me on Tuesday night for no reason... just to chat about nothing in particular... lol.
The keyboarding is coming along nicely... at rehearsal I snuck into the foyer when I was offstage and played on the real piano... it's a crappy one but it's great to get the chance to play any real one. T_T I can remember most of the first two pages of 'Regret' (well, all, really, apart from the occasional inaccuracy mistake from my dexterity, not my memory!) and most of the third page now ^_^ although I can't play the third page so smoothly and there are some bits that I always get stuck on remembering... the repeated passages actually make it harder, because then I forget which of them I am on... it's like, "is this the second or third time I've played two Gs an octave apart?" @_@
Tomorrow I have to buy Christmas presents. >< Really difficult! Especially mom... I know a few things that she wants but I need to buy her extra... because she always buys me a lot of presents. Even if we get each other stupid novelty stuff XD. It's still fun. Anyway I wanna buy her lots of stuff cuz she deserves it. ^_^ I want to think of something really good... but what...?
*sigh* I guess I'll end up by this time tomorrow with something, anyway...
Normphobic sent me Oresama! *dances the happy dance* Can't wait to get home and download it... (I'm at work ><) I have a lot of PVs queued up to watch... I did have a seriously mind-boggling number, but I took to watching a couple each morning before going to work (XDD, that could be dangerous... very dangerous...!) and I got the number down to a manageable level. Lol. But Oresama is long... @_@ I so much need to see the Ajisai PV as well... plus I've got the Lareine 'Scarlet Majesty' live to watch, and that's long too. Never mind though - it's damn good things to look forward to! ^_^
I got the D. discography, too! *dances another, even stupider dance* I listened to a few of the songs on my way to work this morning and they are really good. Actually takes me back to my youth (of ten years ago, or thereabouts... lol) because they're a quite 'traditional hard rock' sound. ^_^
