School and music ramblings

Time flies when you're busy and I've already finished my summer class at university, I sent in my essay today and now I can only hope my teachers will find just as fun as I did when I wrote it. I mean how can people not find hosts, visualkei and fashion as an interesting mix lol.

Anyhow since I at the moment have nothing better to do I'm gonna start practicing kanji like crazy, I've bought a book and everything.

I haven't sent in my application for the language school yet, I thought I might wait until I got my results from my summer class, since it's so important for me to get my points, but I think that will take a while so I'll probably send it soon anyway.

And soon I'll know if I got accepted into the business class I applied for this autumn, mm I really hope so since all my classes will be internet based, me like!

But seriously what has happened to my beloved visualkei, I find myself barely not listening to it anymore, so extremely few bands have released something good recently, feels kinda bad when I definitely listen more to k-pop nowadays. And god I'm gonna miss D'espairsRay, still really can't grasp that they've disbanded. It was the vk band I "grew up" with dammit. But at least I got to see them twice on their last tour, and hopefully the session band with Taka can become something serious in the future, but right now I only hope for Hizumis recovery, poor guy.

I'm also kinda disappointed with Dir en greys latest singel, can't Kyo just sing and not growl the song to bits, at least it gets a little better if you watch the crazy pv...

And I really want to see Nega on their EU tour, but it's only three dates, and I'm NOT going to Paris again, so sadly I don't think I can go.

Recently I almost think Matenrou opera has become one of my absolute favorite bands, a lot of their songs sound a bit familiar, but at least it still sound damn good! Their latest song gave me serious goose bumps of awesome.

Lycaon's mini-album was OK I guess, but I really wish they could go back to sound more like they did before, their overly sexual antics aren't that fun anymore.

But I do really look forward to D=out's and Nega's new singles! They almost always succeed in making me happy in one way or another.

Now I'm gonna stop complaining about music and watch Baker king.

SM TOWN in Paris

OK, so maybe I'm not the biggest k-pop fan out there, but this event I had really been looking forward to! And it sure as hell didn't disappoint!

The whole glorious trip to Paris started in the middle of the night with me haven't slept at all, so I slept all the way, first on the bus to Skavsta airport, then on the flight, and then on the bus to Paris. Anyhow, when we had finally gotten to Paris we had to go through hell before we finally managed to find the concert hall, the streets and people of Paris was just sooo nice, except not. But we still managed to spend some rather fun filled hours at the park in which the concert hall was located.

Then we had to wrap our minds around the queuing system, which was a mess, so after a while we just followed everybody else and it payed of as we got in as some of the first when the hall opened. The staff were kind enough to show us to our seats, but then they wanted tip, apparently that's the only pay they get, pore guys...

As we had gotten our seats we found out they were absolutely perfect, probably the best seats unless you were VIP or standing. We shared the row with some of the press so we ended up having cameras in our faces quite a few times during the show haha.

Well what about the show then, it was fabulous, 100% entertainment from start to finish. Forget boring love ballads, this was one huge party from start to finnish, and I got to hear all my favorite songs from all the bands. The one thing that I will never forget was the beautiful cosplay of Lady Gaga and Beyonce, performed by my beloved Super Junior, I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes, god it was so fug but still so perfect... Taemin also showed up in the middle of the crowd just a few meters from me, first I didn't even realize it was him, fail on me.

The show went on for over four hours, so my throat was totally damaged after too much screaming and cheering. I don't know the last time I felt so happy after a gig, definitely the most entertaining concert I have been to! If I have the chance to attend again I sure as hell will.

Stefan and I had planned on hitting a bar or something during the night because we didn't have any place to sleep, it was just that everything closed around 1-2am, so I ended up dead tired and crying out of frustration and mumbled something about dying in a park, I don't think Stefan liked that idea though so he pulled me around some more before we ended up in a parking garage, were I fell asleep on the floor opposite two bums, we also had regular visits by a junkie, good times, good times. I don' think I have ever been as happy as I was when the bus to the airport arrived the following morning, I was a bit afraid that Stefan had died on the bus or something, god I tried to shake him awake for at least a minute, poor guy hadn't slept at all during the night since he had to keep an on me while I was sleeping.. Because of being extremely tired we ended up in the wrong terminal, thankfully we noticed in time and moved to the other one, ohh I totally love small airports. And of course the flight was delayed.. But some hours later we found ourselves at Centralen, and it was straight to home and straight to bed, sleep had never felt better!

So all in all, k-pop definitely has it's bright sides, like overly sexual boys and some illegally catchy music, so even though the trip as a whole wasn't the very best, the concert more then enough made up for all the fail.

General boredom creates blogging

So, it's been a while since I last updated, mostly because nothing interesting has really happened, I'm just generally busy with this and that so time has managed to move quick enough.

But I've started my summer class at university, Japanese fashion and visual styles, it's so much fun! It's been a long while since I've felt this motivated to study, part of it is because it's about something that is one of my biggest interest and second, it's bringing me one step closer to my language school, since I still miss some points before I'm granted money from **** CSN... Which means I must have these points before I can pay for the language school. But it should all be ready by the end of this year! And I'll probably send the application for my school in Tokyo next week, so yeah I'm a bit worked up to say the least haha.

The weather has also been really nice so it shouldn't be long before the water is warm enough for a swim, a lot of people enjoy the beach-life already but for me it has to be warmer than this... And the swedish summer-weather is as crazy as usual, it switches between cold and really hot and in one instant it's all sunny and the next moment the rain is pouring down, gotta love it, or not. But it's hardly getting dark anymore, that I love about our summer!

Next saturday is SM TOWN in Paris, that will be so much fun, I still can't believe I'm actually going! And that I managed to drag Stefan with me haha, he's just too nice to say no ;) Can't wait to see all crazy fans.

And recently for no reason I've really wanted to get an Ameblo account, but I think I will wait until I actually come to Japan.
