Hi, sorry i'm late again, I had a few other things to do, and I ended up forgetting about this month's rotation lol (also i wanna point out that this is the DIXième rotation \m/)

This month, I had made a poll to let vk tumblr chose for me which rotation from my 20th anniversary would be up next. Here are the results :

First of, I wanna say thank you for voting ! I was absolutely expecting to not get even 10 votes on this lmao. Thank you for participating in my little experiment eheheh.

As usual : Song titles link to individual mp3 file download

All 5 songs can also be downloaded together in a zip file from the link at the bottom

So here what I had in reserve for Deathgaze, Dir en grey, Gazette, Mucc, and Soroban :D

DEATHGAZE - Dies Irae

I did not realized this, at the time, but I literally got introduced to deathgaze with their very first release... which was with their original line-up, which is also how I got to discover Hazuki and how I also got introduced to lynch. with their first release too :D

Dies Irae was released on 294036224052, in 2004 (the whole thing is worth listening ♥)

Dir en grey - Obscure

A fucking classic. I said in the previous entry that I originally didn't like dir, so this one came after I gave them another try. I spent my last year of high school listening to this song in a loop in between moi dix mois songs lol

Obscure was on Vulgar, released in 2003 (which also is still in my top dir album ! I also still think the original version is superior to the 2011 version, but that's me :3 )

(sorry that's the only one that doesn't require signing in apparently)

GAZETTE - The $ocial riot machine$

Now, I gotta be honest, i happened to lose interest in gazette very fast, as they are one of these bands that the visual is more interesting than the music to me. Today, I think they are a good base to get into visual kei, they were back in 2004 too, even if they were babies :D But between 2004 and 06, I was also looking for heavier faster songs, and this song here scratched that itch (ngl it surfed on the wave pop is dead created lmao)

The social riot machines was found on the album Disorder, released in 2004

MUCC - 我、在ルベキ場所 (ware, arubeki basho)

HAAAA this song is still so very effective on me. Mucc went all over the place, and I like some of their songs from all their eras, but I think their early 2000's is my favourite. Actually I think ware arubeki basho might be my favourite mucc song. Anyway you should listen to mucc ! Mucc is also the opposite of band like the gazette, to me, cause i spent a loooooooong time listening to them without even knowing what they looked like except for Yukke lol (and even then, if he hadn't his blond bowl cut............)

And I just learned that ware, arubeki basho was a single released in 2003, before being on 是空 (zekuu), later that year.

(wow i had not watched that in.................. 20 years lmao)

そろばん (soroban) - -RAM-

Soroban is a band only me knows...... ok no lol. But i knew them before Yumehito went to Ayabie (two thumbs down tbh) I also spent the longest time with only that song from them because, in 2004, I didn't realize how fucking indie visual kei was and I wanted more soroban, but all I got is that soroban is the japanese word for an abacus... i ended up finding their (really short) discography years later and was almost disappointed that -ram- is their only song sounding like that (the rest is good too, actually, just less heavy and more kawaii i guess)

-ram- was the A-side of the -RAM- / オレンジ手紙 初回限定盤 (-RAM- / orange tegami) single, released in 2004 (orange tegami is also a very good song !!)

and I can't find -ram- on youtube (there's the 2006 re-recording i didn't know existed though) so here :

zip file with all 5 songs HERE ♥

静かなくちづけ by deadman, kanji & translation [ENG] & romaji

Kanji

包む気配 触れる

温度 伝う

抱き寄せて love you

喪失の突然は化粧

受け取った温度が霧

書き替える突然は化粧

瞳に君は居ない

you are the reason I lived

昨日の約束

you are the reason I lived

白い息

I wish you come see me

側に居る思い出じゃない事実が欲しい

I wish you come see me

くちづけ 花束

答えは聞こえない

何度繰り返しても

教えて欲しい

幸せで居るのかを

包む気配 笑って 笑う

抱きよせてlove you

I wish you come see me

側に居て 思い出じゃない事実が欲しい

I wish you come see me

笑ってる 思い出じゃない今が欲しい

I wish you come see me

またいつか じゃ嫌なんだ

I wish you come see me

またいつか じゃ嫌なんだ

Translation [ENG] - Tranquil Kiss

I can feel being enveloped

and the warmth that follows it

Hold me close love you

Loss is under a veneer of abruptness*

Received warmth is clouded by fog

Alteration is under a veneer of abruptness

You are not in my eyes

You are the reason I lived

The promise of yesterday

You are the reason I lived

White breath**

I wish you come see me

I don't want to be by your side in memories,

I want that in reality

I wish you come see me

A kiss and bouquet

I can't hear answers

No matter how many times they are repeated

I want to know

If you are happy

I can feel being enveloped. Laughing. Laughter

Hold me close love you

I wish you come see me

I don't want being by your side in memories

I want that in reality

I wish you come see me

I don't want a memory of laughing you,

I want that now

I wish you come see me

I don't want the "maybe we'll meet again someday"

I wish you come see me

I don't want the "maybe we'll meet again someday"

*the used word means “make-up” but since we use make-up to cover something, I used the word veneer (which means something that hides something unpleasant or unwanted) -> in this case the suddenness of loss hides/covers the real, negative feelings that come along with it. Same with the next line, a wish to alternate reality, rewrite it is hidden by suddenness of forementioned loss

**white breath can mean literally a spirit but also flowers - baby’s breath flowers - used often as a filler in funeral arrangements where they symbolize purity and are linked to the clouds in heaven

Romaji

Tsutsumu kehai fureru

Ondo tsutau

Dakiyosete love you

Soushitsu no totsuzen wa keshou

Uketotta ondo ga kiri

Kaki kaeru totsuzen wa keshou

Hitomi ni kimi wa inai

You are the reason I lived

Kinou no yakusoku

You are the reason I lived

Shiroi iki

I wish you come see me

Soba ni iru omoide jianai jijitsu ga hoshii

I wish you come see me

Kuchizuke hanataba

Kotae wa kikoenai

Nando kurikaeshite mo

Oshiete hoshii

Shiawase de iru no ka wo

Tsutsumu kehai waratte warau

Dakiyosete love you

I wish you come see me

Soba ni ite omoide jianai jijitsu ga hoshii

I wish you come see me

Waratteru omoide jianai ima ga hoshii

I wish you come see me

Mata itsuka jia iyananda

I wish you come see me

Mata itsuka jia iyananda

Aki from "Virgin cry" MV

[schizoid-hikikomori]

I applied to an art school several years back. The process consisted of an audition, which was a still life drawing session, and then later an interview if you received a callback. In the interview, you brought your portfolio and talked about your art. Later you'd receive news of whether or not you were accepted.

I got to the interview. I've always been good at drawing still life, and the audition was not too difficult for me.

But I do not draw excessively realistic art in my own time. And my portfolio was not made up of art I'm sure they wanted to see.

There is a certain elitism in art schools where the only "good" art is realistic or adjacent to such.

And I believe my ability to self teach and learn how to better draw in my unrealistic art style was actually beneficial to me learning how to better emulate real life things in an exaggerated fashion.

I know how to proportionally draw the human body better than some people who I know who've focused on semi-realism their whole life.

My still life skills have never faltered, even after several years of not doing realism.

These things came back after a class session of drawing skulls. Here's one of them.

And a song I listened to while working.
