Other Bands / Let it RAIN

« on: September 11, 2008, 03:26:43 PM »

One stupid idea of mine (got it while cooking and listening to Rain by The Beatles)... 
Have you ever noticed how OFTEN the word "rain" appears in the names of the songs  ?

Only checking my playlist I found:
X - guess what  ok, Endless rain, Stop bloody rain
Toshi - Rain and Tears, Boy in the rain
Eric Clapton - Let it rain
Guns N' Roses - November rain
Enya - Day without rain
Gackt - Rain
The Beatles - Rain
Gene Kelly - Singin' in the rain
(BJ Thomas?) - Rain drops keep falling on my head
Led Zeppelin - The rain song
Placebo - English summer rain
Travis - Why does it always rain on me
Dream Theatre - Acid Rain

What about you  ?

Toshi / Hidden comic talent (Hamlet)

« on: July 06, 2008, 01:49:02 PM »

I was going through some old cuts and clips in my folder and found something worth of posting here :wink: I hope you will enjoy
It is from the first part of the Rock Opera Hamlet with Toshi in the leading part (and Kaori as Ophelia). Toshi himself said he is quite ashamed of this chapter of his solo career but I wouldn't see it that bad  :wink: (I have only the first part though) Well... it's even quite good when you consider the combination Hamlet-Japanese-Rock  :lol:  :idea:
Anyway, this piece is just priceless, who would think that Hamlet is a tragedy  :lol:  It is the part when Hamlet pretends he got mad... and he has roller skates... :lol:
Two minutes of mad Hamlet here

pieces of my wannabe translation
Hamlet: "Ouch ouch, what a pain (kurushii)"
Polonius: "Hamlet-sama, what is it?"
Hamlet: "Who killed my father!? ... Ouch ouch"
Polonius: "Call a doctor!" *runs*
Hamlet: "Wait! Hmm... this is strange."
Polonius: "Come with me Hamlet-sama."
Hamlet: "Where is my dear Ophelia?" and something about "lonely Hamlet-chan" ^^
Somebody please make a better translation :lol:

Toshi / Show full of scary fans

« on: June 21, 2008, 12:07:26 AM »

I just watched this O___________O eeeeeeh? Run Toshi, run for your life (he even seemed to really consider this option). Is this the worst show I've ever seen? It's highly possible...

Watch, it will probably be deleted soon (this account was deleted four times before)
Go for some scary fans

Toshi / New Toshi message (2nd May 2008)

« on: May 02, 2008, 09:45:41 AM »

Toshi remembered hide on his blog http://ameblo.jp/blog-toshi/theme-10006587362.html

Translation is on his myspace, but it seemed to me a bit too straightforward, somehow it feels different in Japanese :? http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=1000428614&blogID=389061534

But I think, that what expreses Toshi the best, is this smiley:
   ヾ(＠＾(∞)＾＠)ノ    
:lol:  similar, aren't they   :wink:

hide / Who is Mr.Jones?

« on: April 14, 2008, 05:36:13 PM »

I finally listened to hide's Zilch album... there's one thing which kinda made me think a bit to much... the song "What's up Mr.Jones". It's not only that the tune is the same as Drain, but I speak more about the words. Have you think about it, anyone? Do you know when the text was written?
We all know that hide was against X's break-up and one of the main reasons for break-up was Toshi... so is Toshi the Mr.Jones, or is it only my overimagination and coincidence?

WHAT'S UP MR JONES?

Jones is so alone. One million miles from home
Sold your diamonds and dogs for some stones
You watched your starman drown and let your spiders down
Left your starman to die on his own

Cause you sold us a lie. But your starman is gone.
He's a star in the sky

Well this is ground control and we have got your soul
Meet the man who sold out to the world
You let your starman down. Mr. karma clown
You're no hero or mainman to me

YOU SOLD US A LIE WHILE WE CRIED IN PAIN
NOW YOU'RE SO ALONE LIKE A FLY IN THE RAIN
SO TIRED OUT. WHAT'S UP MR. JONES?
SO TRY IT OUT. WHAT'S UP MR. JONES?
SO TRY IT NOW. WHAT'S UP MR. JONES?
WHAT'S UP MR. JONES?

So alone one million miles from home
Like a magott you feed off yourself
So alone broke your spider's bones
Left your starman to die by yourself

YOU SOLD US A LIE. WHILE WE CRIED IN VAIN
NOW YOU'RE SO ALONE. LIKE A FLY IN THE RAIN
SO TRY IT OUT. WHILE WE CRIED IN VAIN
SO TRY IT NOW. LIKE A FLY IN THE RAIN
WHAT'S UP MR. JONES?.

Drawings / Chibi Toshi and Yoshiki (one Pata included) xD

« on: April 13, 2008, 08:47:25 PM »

:lol:  last week the lesson of phonetics was extremely boring, so... I can't draw but if this will amuse you at least a bit  :wink:



That piece of text next to Toshi in the second line is an anagram made by my friend, says that Toshi is "asymetric" and also "about a meter tall and wide"  :lol:  :wink:

Hope you like it  :wink:  no offence meant

Toshi / Kaori

« on: April 13, 2008, 02:39:01 PM »

I would like to ask if there is anybody well informed about the matter of Toshi's marriage. I know that they got married in the beginning of 1997 and another few facts which I found here and there (also "here"), but does anyone know about the present situation (means since 1997 till now)? If anyone could give me a bit of integrated description I would be very grateful. Thanks a lot  for any info :wink:
