Whatever they say...

It's becoming increasingly rare for me to remember my dreams. I think it's because I'm getting less and less sleep lately so when I am asleep, I'm very deeply asleep. The last few days have been holidays though so I've had lazier mornings and the opportunity to just stay in bed and doze so I've been remembering them. I try not to trust dreams I have when dozing too much though, as sometimes I can control and direct them and they're actually lucid dreams.

Or maybe, that makes them more interesting?

Anyway, the one I had this morning had GACKT in it. That's actually really rare, for me. He doesn't show up that often.

We were sat in that basement lobby of his with the comfy sofas and huge television screen. We were sat on one of those sofas, side by side but not touching in anyway, and were watching the latest two Doctor Who episodes.

I asked him if he could understand what was happening as they were very complicated, let's set up the rest of the season and use lots of sci-fi techno babble kind of episodes and he answered that he didn't understand any of it.

I said to him that we should stop watching and instead watch something that both of us could understand and enjoy.

He replied that he didn't want it switched off and was enjoying it.

I was confused by this and asked him why he was enjoying it if he couldn't understand it.

His answer? "I'm enjoying spending time with you."

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

The dream me melted into a pool of goo, and then the real me woke up. Dammit!

I think that's the result of reading sweet GACKTIONARY entries and spending far too many hours over the last few days reading speculation and theories about the new Doctor Who series (WHAT. THE. HELL. IS. GOING. ON???)

The sweetness of it makes me smile even now. If any real man actually did say that to me, I'd do whatever he asked of me XD

I had another dream a couple of days ago about my mother. I can't even remember what happened, I just know that we were doing regular mother/daughter type things. It was nice.

I just made that gif and then spent fifteen minutes just... watching... it.

I think I need to go take a shower or something...

...oh wait. That sounds wrong.

I meant as a distraction so that I don't stare at it for another 15 minutes.

Gotta love a man who can spread his legs like that AND moisturises them

Edit - it's an extra scene in this TSUTAYA CM (the one with the cats and the maids)



Edit 2 - the Twitter CAPSLOCK spam this has inspired is pretty epic. I love this fandom so hard.

I had no lessons today (again... grrr) but one of the teachers I work with asked my second year classes what they want to talk about in their lessons with me this year. I taught them last year so they know me pretty well by now.

Their answer?

They want to talk about GACKT.

ME TOO KIDS.

Let's just plan the entire English syllabus this year about GACKT. We can learn all sorts of new vocabulary (tits, sweetie, guaranty, (ir)replaceable, batshit crazy), sing lots of English songs (feel the fiyaaah) and watch movies ("it's a fucking famous ninja's name in Japan!")

I could do a whole lesson on teaching the names of different body parts, complete with lots of photos as reference material...

THEY'D BE THE MOST AWESOME ENGLISH LESSONS EVER, BRO.

(Heh, I have these kids well trained, don't I??)

Quick note to anyone who can watch it - there will be some support messages broadcast on Music Station tonight.

Appears GACKT may be one of them

Show starts at 20:00 - 35 minutes from me posting this.

I might do a proper earthquake post later as I have a couple of photos of things that will show how it was in Tokyo, but I thought I'd do a nice, light hearted post first.

Yesterday, I went to the Square Enix store in Shinjuku (ish)

TIME TO FANGIRL.


(Click all photos for full size)

( There's something under here for GACKT fans too ^_^ )

I think I'm packed.

Before heading to bed, I decided to chill and watch a little of the YFC DVD again. If you keep your eyes open during 小悪魔ヘヴン you can see me and shinimegami21 in one of the crowd shots, grinning at the water filled condoms (must have been before one of them BURST IN MY EYE. Thanks, Junji)

You can also see yellow



Jeez... he must have been pulling that down with his shorts to have not flashed it to the crowd during the show.

I wanna pinch his hips and grab at that padding

Oh, GACKT. You and your multicoloured thong collection, manwhoring ways and lulzy DVD announcements can always make me smile.

Thank you.

I was able to see the last performance of Nemuri Kyoshiro in Hiroshima on Saturday evening. It was my second time as I also saw it in Osaka in October.

I’ve split this report into two – the first is the play synopsis which will be a straight forward description of the plot, and the second is the more personal perspective with the little nuances I picked up on, the fun parts and the things that went wrong XD

Spoilers abound in the synopsis but I’ll try to keep them out of the fun part as much as possible!

( The Story )

( The fun stuff! )

This has to be filmed for a DVD at some point. Whether it’s kept in tact as a stage play, or filmed on location, I think it deserves to recorded and seen by a wider audience. GACKT is perfectly believable as the cold and slightly detached Kyoshiro and although being serene, silent and strong isn’t really stretching his acting abilities too much, that can be forgiven due to how epic the fight scenes are.

Now, I want to go to Tokyo… I won’t though. Nope.

(And congrats to anyone who made it through all of that without falling asleep! I have a tl;dr tag for a reason!)

I've been talking about this to a couple of people recently, and seeing as though I took the time to get my camera out when I was in England, I guess I should share.

This is The GACKT Collection (aka OMG how much money have I spent on his ass)

(Consider this a sequel to the Iron Maiden Vinyl Collection entry)

( If only GACKT had a points card for loyal customers )

And I wonder why I'm poor.

Heeeeeeeeeeee, Nemuri tomorrow. I have resolved to not spend crazy amounts of money on goods again but unfortunately so many of the Nemuri goods are actually practical so it's hard to talk myself out of it. You can never have too many bento boxes, chopsticks or mugs!

Yeah... let's see how much damage I can do to the bank balance shall we?
