#Acid Black Cherry

[a-rumbly-in-my-tumbly]

Hello there! This may be sudden or random, I think I might have reached out to a few years ago: but I wanted to ask, if you still perhaps your old translations for Janne Da Arc saved? I downloaded their entire discography when I was a teenager, and I think I still have most of the lyrics saved on my songs on iTunes: but while I used to use the Wayback Machine to view it using www.papersnow.net/kiku) but unfortunately, I think it's become broken on the wayback machine. I was just curious if you still had them and if it was possible to ask for them at all! Regardless, ty so much for everything, your lyrics genuinely helped make out a part of my childhood almost 20 years ago <3

Surprisingly to everyone, my livejournal appears to still be active and contains the majority of my old work (with paragraphs of long-winded bullshit that I don't know I would agree with over a decade later):

Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad to know that my years of dedicated effort has lingered so long in people's minds. It at least makes it easier to not want to scrub all that cringe off the earth (and just leave it as it was to look on fondly instead of obsessively thinking I should make corrections with more experience).

I'm sure I probably still have everything on an old computer somewhere but for now that's most of it. I'm sure the newer ABC stuff is either here or somewhere easier to find, but all the Janne should be on Livejournal.

I think in his prime Yasu would have been an awesome Anatole in Great Comet or Joe Gillis in Sunset Blvd LOL

A reminder to everyone that you do not own digital media. If you really like an album, I implore you to buy a physical copy of you can.

All official videos and songs from Acid Black Cherry's YouTube and Spotify have been deleted. That's 9 years worth of music gone.

Thankfully I have a few albums from them, but I regret not having more cause now I can't officially listen to some of my favorite songs

When everybody's posting Spotify Wrapped but I use a local music player…

I don’t know if you saw Yasu’s letter yet, but it made me think of you and how much I cherished your work. Thank you <3

That's so kind of you!

Honestly it's a relief to know he's still around out there somewhere, even if I personally feel Some Kind of Way about things. I suppose I had to learn a hard life lesson about being a fan of something basically means that the people behind the thing are never going to care as much as you (or very rarely). It's hard to explain how much the way the disbandment of Janne was absolutely devastating in the way it was handled, but that's neither here nor there.

I was thinking about maybe translating the message yesterday, but there really isn't much to speak of. yasu says he is very grateful for the birthday messages every year and that he does see them, notes that his producer has made a new label so all of ABC's discography is on there now, and that he wanted to wait until he came back to music to write anything but since he's 50 this year and still doesn't know when that will be it felt like a good time.

I know this isn't about me, but it makes me livejournal mood: pensive because when I look back I realize that while I am forever grateful for what I was able to experience and the happiness I had there's also a profound sense of heartbreak that I don't know if I will ever stop feeling. yasu and Janne da Arc absolutely changed my life, I can't deny that, but because they changed my life so profoundly my sorrow is, too. For many reasons that feel spoiled and selfish, but it is what it is.

Thank you for thinking of me.
