The you and the I

They say the beast that is Dir en grey no longer allowed room for him to write about personal feelings. Even if love/pain is mentioned, they are abstracted, broad-stroked worldviews. sukekiyo, on the other hand, is very simply the place for the small and personal, the you and the I.

What about...?

Even if there is already a triple outlet where all manners of the small and personal and everyday is shared (at what sense of fulfilment! this universe)... Occasionally, there is...that pang. The itch, or urge, to leave something more behind.

April was already 2 years ago... One day I'll wake up and realize it will have been three years. Where did we once imagine we'd be, in three years? Five? XD Such numbers, they numb.

The Insulated World

I wish they'd given the full version more time to develop (a la Kukoku no kyoon) and that the album had more like it :( But the impact, even as is, is... :o

Scream and live. Scream and live.
