[MIYAVI LESSON] MIYAVI and PS COMPANY

This article is to tell you guys how many resources MIYAVI has got from PS COMPANY and his fans, co-miyavi. In my opinion, it was a breach of trust for him to take on someone else's resources and not help the people who provided them realize their dreams, but instead marry Melody and run away from PS COMPANY. MIYAVI, he's a liar! He never liked music or even his fans!!! They were just tools for MIYAVI to marry an American. His daughter, who can't even speak Japanese, and claimed to be "American" at a jazz class in Tokyo in 2024. You can use translation software to understand the content of the article. Thank you so much. m (_ _)m

[雅学精选]八一八MIYAVI和PS COMPANY当年的那些事

MIYAVI，原名石原崇雅，1981年生，曾经隶属于Due’le quartz乐队，乐队解散后开始SOLO活动，依旧隶属于PS COMPANY事务所，2009年奉子成婚后宣布PSC脱退。 PS COMPANY的代表取缔役是尾崎友美，也就是传说中的尾崎社长了。 我少女时代因为信息不对称，我对尾崎友美的印象大致也和中文流媒体上看到的差不多，老巫婆，压榨旗下艺人，养小白脸，等等(我不删不改，就那么留着)。

我对日本粉丝跑路也是非常不理解，结婚生子怎么了？不至于这样就跑路吧。我10年前左右的文章，很多也都是这个看法。 直到我自己因为对雅-miyavi-的狂热喜爱，不计代价的大量收购有关他的日语原版纸媒后。 在大量看到他的日本活动细节和时间线后，我现在对石原崇雅其人和尾崎友美，有了全新不一样的认识。

现在我来给大家分享一下我搜集到的信息，各位看客看完后自己分辨就好。

PS COMPANY简介 先来说一下PS COMPANY （又称PSC或P缶，因为公司的日语读音很像P缶），此处主要引用wiki，同时增加一些wiki中没有的有关MIYAVI的时间线。

“制作歌手照片和官方网站，短期内连续发售音源，将CD的封面换成数种进行发售，所属乐队的定期巡回演唱会等宣传战略都很强势。

代表董事尾崎友美是从视觉系乐队的粉丝变成制作职员的。

2005年与king records合作推出PS music, 11月23日正式发行CD及DVD。之后，除了雅-miyavi-， Kagrra，的新作由PS music发售。

2007年5月、雅-miyavi-(当时)、Kagrra，、Kra、the GazettE、Alice Nine的主要部门之外、小规模的独立制作人培育部门Indie。最近的Indie PSC.中，BORN是成员。

2009年1月3日，PS COMPANY 10周年纪念演唱会“Peace & Smile Carnival”在日本武道馆举行。 门票在开售当天就售罄。

2009 年，PS COMPANY 乐队与 King Records 之间的合同似乎已经到期。 Kagrra， 2010 年的新专辑由 Crown Tokuma Music Sales 作为独立专辑发行。 之后，the GazettE 决定将由 Sony Music Records 发行，Alice Nine 将由 Tokuma Japan Communications 发行。

2009年4月5日，雅-miyavi-于日比谷野外大音乐堂的LIVE演出，宣告加入PS COMPANY十年毕业。

2009年4月8日，成立自己的公司J-glam inc.。次日于MySpace公开成立公司与结婚事实，并宣布孩子将于夏天出生。

2011 年，所属的 SuG 宣布将暂停活动并离开了事务所。

2014 年 3 月 2 日，Rave 加入了独立 PSC。

2016 年 9 月 30 日，LOTUS 因独家合同终止而从事务所离籍。

PSC的工作环境和起家过程 PSC的事务所工作是什么样的呢，此处引用雅-miyavi-2009年在杂志中的采访（Arena 37℃，2009年3月号，我自己翻译的。这个杂志采访的时间点很微妙哦，是melody实际上已经怀了���几个月，但是还未对外官宣婚育的时候。）：

这次一边回顾着1月3日的武道馆PSC祭，一边想请您讲述从事务所成立之初就在的居民、雅所知道的10年。 -好了好了，明白了。(这时事务所的staff给我倒茶)谢谢。嗯?这是什么东西？(发现托盘背面的价签)含税210日元(笑)。”工作人员说“啊，价签还是买的时候贴的呢…(苦笑)”“明明已经在武道馆办了事务所的祭典live，而事务所却还在用210日元的盘子吗~ 噫~"大概这样的感觉(笑)" 好嘛(笑)，210日元的盘子! -含税210日元倒是可以，不过还是拿着价签用吧(笑)。但是，事务所最开始其实也只有Due’le quartz(雅所在的乐队)的4个成员和社长(笑)。我们还得自己去冈田屋寻找制作服装的素材，还有专门卖视觉系的CD店，这些我都是进了事务处才知道的。这就是我们曾经有过的的文化……(笑) 竟然是社长带着成员挨个转了一圈唱片公司啊。而且一开始只有女性staff啊。 -因为以前是全是女性，所以事务所搬来搬去的时候，连艺人都被排挤出去了。那个时候连开口说话都很辛苦呢(笑。不过，以前只有Due’le quartz的时候，我和sakiponn（前Due’le quartz的主唱sakito的昵称）、社长还有我，三个人去全国参加in store event*。那个时候，我调查了所有去过的地方的CD店，带着Due’le quartz的CD。“拜托了。”然后一家一家地去打招呼。社长以前好像在演歌系的事务所待过一段时间，这（陌拜）似乎是在那里学来的技巧。因为还是根本没人知道的地下视觉系乐队，所以总是会听到“哈？Due’le quartz？这是什么玩意？”就算是这样，社长还是一直带着我和sakiponn到处走，这真的到现在还留在心里，也因为这样我很尊敬她（尾崎友美）。

*in store event，即店内活动，是指名人或行业成员在唱片店、书店或购物中心等设施中举办的活动。 它主要作为 CD、DVD、书籍（照片书、散文等）促销活动的一部分来完成。

店内现场表演是表演音乐的店内活动。

作为活动的例子有签名会、握手会、游戏大会等，音乐家的场合也可以进行演奏和歌唱行为。在谁都可以进入的空间里不收取费用的情况很多，另一方面，拥有活动专用空间的店，也会有“只有购买商品的顾客才能入场”等限定对象的情况。

===========================

再引用一下尾崎友美自己的采访（2014年5月9日，Musicman’s RELAY）

尾崎:还有很多演唱会，但是当时即使想去都没办法。那时，母亲再婚了，继父是个很优秀的人，一家人关系很好。但他说:“女孩子怎么可能去东京，福冈应该也有很多工作吧。”我想如果要工作的话只能在音乐界，但是福冈没有唱片公司和事务所，只有live house和唱片店。虽然有厂家的营业所，但都是从总公司来的，本地只有前台之类的工作。因为在唱片店工作了5年，有好几家公司问我“要不要来我家?”，但我并不是想做前台，我还是憧憬制作或者事务所。

——您是怎么说服父母的呢?

尾崎:离家出走。

——是吧(笑)。

尾崎:写了留言就出门了。

——你最初在东京住在哪里?

尾崎:永福町吧。

——那是多大的时候呢?

尾崎:22 ~ 23岁左右。短大毕业后，我在福冈待了一段时间，一边观察情况，一边找房子。

——你刚来东京的时候工作还没定吧?

尾崎:当然。总之只能离开。

——这种行动力真是太棒了。

尾崎:不过我也想过一定要把地址告诉我母亲。我一直觉得东京很危险，所以就在派出所前面找了个房子，在一间单间里，只要有被褥、音响、电视和电话就行了。现在我还记得，到东京的那天晚上，我去便利店站着看招聘杂志(笑)。

——(笑)。当时还没有互联网呢。

尾崎:虽然找到了事务所的招聘机会，但是我依然一边想着“不可能被在艺能界这么有名的地方录用”，一边把简历投了出去，结果还是顺利地被录用了。现在被称为“3k”*的行业，年轻人都不太愿意来，但在当时却很受欢迎。我通过了激烈的竞争，终于进入了公司。就像做梦一样(笑)。

*3k指日语的「きつい、汚い、危険」的简称。又脏又累又危险的行业。”

“尾崎:我并不是有什么特别的目标才辞职的，而是一边找工作一边去看演唱会，偶然有个歌手问我:“能不能作为工作人员来帮忙?”我就开始帮忙了。艺人们非常热情，“大家一起去主流公司吧”，虽然没有任何经验，但还是努力了。结果去了主流公司，事务所却有工作人员说了一句“不要女的”就被挂断了。

——这真是太冤枉了。

尾崎:成员们都为了能留下来而努力了……总之很不甘心，想着“不能去主流公司就不会辞职”。现在想想，是非常渺小的自尊吧(笑)?

自尊心越强，越能让人踏实做事。(笑)

——对事务所来说，应该也认为你是志愿者吧。

尾崎:的确如此。因为在那里被切断了，由于不甘心才成立了PS COMPANY哟(笑)。

——真是太帅了。顺便说一下，那个事务所现在还在吗?

尾崎:已经没有了。但是，我充满了今后要培养视觉系第一艺人的心情。”

——到成立PS COMPANY为止异常的快呢。来东京才两年吗?

尾崎:现在想想还挺可怕的。应该说是鲁莽吧。虽然也有不甘心的心情，但我想是因为喜欢视觉系才会这样的。

——即使这么想，也很难真的就做到。

尾崎:因为没有公司愿意接受，所以只能自己做了(笑)。

——是有所属的艺人创立的吗?还是建立之后才开始发掘的?

尾崎:只有一个艺人。他们既是工作人员也是艺人的ローディー*，我们谈到了我们想做这样的艺术家的梦想，就一起从召集成员开始。当时聚集在一起的成员之一是当时17岁的Miyavi-，是Due'le quartz的一位艺人。

*ローディー，也就是roadie，中文直译是路人，但是词不达意= =。主要是指流行音乐业界中，那些进行乐器安排、装载、运输、安装、调整等音乐活动，对乐器进行维护管理，对音乐人进行支援等业务的人。

有时也被称为ロードクルー(road crew)、ロードマネージャー(road manager)。专门负责乐器等器材的调整和安装的人也被称为テクニシャン(Technician)。

——Miyavi先生是如何成为成员的？

尾崎：当时我们公司里没有艺人，所以入不敷出，所以我们只做PS COMPANY主办的活动。 因为出场的艺人和Miyavi-是同学的缘故，所以就来了。 他介绍说“是大阪的朋友。。”，问“你是否愿意在我家做？”，就邀请来了。

——顺便问一下，你听过Miyavi先生弹吉他吗？

尾崎：不，我没有。

——明明没有听过，却还是���请了吗?那是因为有V系的感觉吗?

尾崎:直觉吧。

——真是太棒了。这种直觉可不一般。活动全部是您自己做的吗?

尾崎:是的。虽然成立了事务所很好，但是旗下没有艺人。既然作为事务所成立了，就必须好好地进行音乐活动，所以有各种各样的考虑吧。那么，最快捷的就是快速活动了。话虽如此，一个刚成立不久、名不见经传的奇怪公司的活动，肯定不会有艺人愿意参加，所以我很拼命。

以前，著名艺人在日本武道馆等大型会场的演唱会之后，会有化着妆的业余艺人给演唱会结束后出来的客人发传单。于是我装成客人，把这些东西全部拿回来，如果有觉得不错的艺术家，就马上打电话问“能不能参加活动”，一个月大概做四次这种活动。所以一开始大家以为我们不是事务所，而是活动公司(笑)。

——Miyavi-也是这样，没有看过演奏却能被找到，真是了不起。

尾崎:就算现在，所属的艺人也几乎没听过曲子。见了面听到对方说“想做”，“那试着做?”，就这样。

——公司是什么时候步入正轨的呢?

尾崎:到Kra为止都是4个人一起做的。

——这样的话，真是忙得团团转啊。因为什么都要做。

尾崎:全部都要做呢。一切都是在摸索。

——4个人看管3个艺人。每个人都有各自的活动，演唱会也不是在同一个地方举行吧?

尾崎:已经一塌糊涂了。即便如此，也有一开始就留下来的员工。真的很感激呢。但是，现在想想，那样也很开心。

——你现在有多少员工?

尾崎:光员工就有40人左右吧。我经常说，企业就是人，我只是个创业者，什么都没做，我有很多真正的好员工。

——不仅是音乐家，对员工也有看人的眼光。

尾崎:我想“和这个人合作”的话就会自己去接近。对室长铃木就像跟踪狂一样纠缠不休地说“想和你一起工作”(笑)。我也知道她的头衔，但不知道她以前做过什么。这也是直觉。

===========================

看完了石原氏和尾崎氏的官方证词，我们可以大概概括一下PSC是怎么开始创业和运营的，概括下来就是： 1. 尾崎氏也是单亲家庭，是离家出走来到的东京，在创业的时候家庭没有给她任何经济援助，刚来东京的时候甚至还要想办法解决租房和打工（经济）的问题。 2. 尾崎友美本人就是粉丝，她是抱着做V系第一艺人而不是赚钱的目的进入的事务所行业。

3. 事务所内staff的生活也好，艺人的生活也好，都很清贫，早期只有尾崎一个人既是社长也是staff，还要带着乐队去唱片店，通过陌拜来推销CD。后面即使已经到了2009年，PS COMPANY 的10周年纪念演唱会“Peace & Smile Carnival”在日本武道馆举行并售罄的情况下，事务所连招待人都还在使用210日元的廉价餐具。

关于第2点，“做V系第一艺人”，这句话嘴上说说很容易，如果只是嘴上说说，不仅是各位看客，连我这种也算经历各种社会上摸爬滚打的人也是不相信的。 那我来直接考证尾崎友美当年为了雅-miyavi-这个艺能团队，做了哪些事情好了。 由于年代久远，一些小活动已经不可考证，还有些不重要的例如发CD和录唱片这些过于幕后的内容也不好考证，我下面主要考证的时间线是他的各种大型公开活动细节，包括大型演唱会，海外巡演，肉眼可见的重量级团队等。 其中很多演出以及大型活动，因为不明原因连日本语wiki上都未收录（笑），丢失的词条中，关于重点活动，我会详细解释活动细节和内容。

PS COMPANY大事记

-2002年9月22日，Due’le quartz刚解散，这一年石原氏开始solo，艺名为雅-miyavi-。后面没剩几个月了，这年基本没有太大型的活动。 -2003年4月25日，2003下剋上，场地渋谷公会堂，是一个2000多人的hall，预定票价3800日元，当日券4500日元。这场有刻VHS录影带和DVD，比较容易在网上找到信息。 2003年10月19日，成りあがり，场地日比谷野外大音楽会堂，是个3000人左右的坐席hall，无论什么时候购买，票价一律3820日元。 这场演出我要重点解说一下，虽然你看对外的官宣信息没啥特别的，但是如果你发现了支援乐队“石原軍団”的人员名单，相信你一定会和我一样惊讶。

你没有看错，真的是这4个人。

也许有人不认识第三个乐队，那是X-JAPAN的吉他手hide自己带的乐队。 成员名单和后面天天被拿出来吹的S.K.I.N., the last rockstars，可以说成员名单高度重合。

剩下那个圣饥魔的吉他手，圣饥魔在日本的地位不比X JAPAN低，虽然不是视觉系，但是也是殿堂级的乐队。

然后这几个人是真的在和雅-miyavi-平等的组乐队吗？笑。 想想看雅-miyavi-姓什么。他们只是来做support的。

不信我们来看下： S.K.I.N. GACKT from Malice Mizer YOSHIKI from X JAPAN SUGIZO from LUNA SEA/X JAPAN 雅-miyavi- the last rockstars HYDE from L'Arc~en~Ciel/VAMPS YOSHIKI from X JAPAN SUGIZO from LUNA SEA/X JAPAN MIYAVI

S.K.I.N.由于年代久远演出细节难以考证，我们来看看末代摇帝的好了。

这是东京场的细节和票价。最便宜的都要12000日元，最贵的要98000日元。

只要3820日元，你就可以看到X JAPAN，圣饥魔，LUNA SEA，hide的solo乐队的成员同台竞技啊（���奔

2003年12月28日，現代奇想博覧会，东京BAY HK HALL。这是个拼盘演出，里面包括MUCC，Merry，DAIGO，the GazettE等乐队，票价为提前购买5500日元，当日券6000日元。 这场演出雅-miyavi-的支援乐队还是来自X JAPAN，圣饥魔，LUNA SEA，hide的solo乐队“石原軍団” *“石原軍団”参与的两场演出，日本语wiki全都没收录（包括几个前辈乐手自己的百科），很有意思（笑）。

2004年7月，日本脱出。这是个海外巡演，日程和场地以及票价是 7.10 韩国 QUEEN LIVE HALL，3820日元。 7.18 香港 香港湾仔会议展览中心 （这场因为非典流行取消） 7.24 台湾 17 Young party，6300日元。

由于年代久远，只能找到韩国场地的照片了，长这样。

只有4个乐手都转身困难的情况，从舞台宽度推算，一定是300人以下的场子，甚至就100人。。

*这场神奇的海外巡演，日本语wiki未收录（笑）。

你是不是很奇怪为什么我写的是日元定价？没错，这几场说是海外巡演，其实是让日本粉丝去远征的，有当时的应募券证明。甚至怕日本仔雅不懂远征，除了单卖日本仔雅，还找了旅行社打包差旅费用哈哈哈。 远征费用很贵，旅行社报价96000~99000日元。 广告页上还提到，当年的4月他去了韩国参加event，5月在台湾参加event，6月在香港参加event。

2004年8月11日 最初也是最后（？）的雅fan感谢DAY，东京巨蛋（5.5万人） 2004年8月31日 This is 王道，日本武道馆（1.5万人）。

这两场活动我要重点介绍，因为这组活动可以说惊天地动鬼神（？）了。 首先，第一个见面会的场地是东京巨蛋。

东京巨蛋，坐席全开有大约5.5万人，是日本最大的室内场地之一。

而之前最多也就开过3000人演唱会的石原氏怎么可能有这个演出动员力呢？ 没错，所以这场活动不是演唱会，是见面会。他也没办握手会，是摸头会，每个人都来见面给他摸头。 看台全部没开，就开了内场。

也就包个东京巨蛋嘛，虽然这场地得要百万场租吧，可是这不是还能卖票卖周边吗？ 然后我找到了另一页当时的宣传单，发现这个东蛋见面会居然是免费的。。

日本武道馆的那个票价也是奇低，预售就5050日元，当日购买就5500日元。

而武道馆的最终票房如何呢，有图有证据。

内场没敢开票，一张没有卖。

看台大量都是空的，最下层全空，其它部分空。

也因为这样做了个空中舞台。杂志宣传这是武道馆历史上第一个空中舞台，说的。。也没错。。

人家正常卖内场和最下层看台的，空中舞台那可全是视线盲区好吧。。

作为一个也算了解些演出成本预算的人，看到这里我的心已经在滴血了。保守估计2004年的海外巡演+东蛋见面会+武道馆演出，亏了300万等值人民币及以上（光与东蛋等体量国内场地的每日场租就差不多这个价格）。。

*这两场神奇的见面会+演唱会，日本语wiki未收录见面会，但是演唱会嘛，大约因为刻了DVD卖，所以收录了（笑）。

爆亏的2004年结束了。我们来看2005年。

2005年，又开始做海外巡演了。 7月14日，台湾 17 Young party 5500日元

7月16日，韩国 Dream theater SH CLUB 5500日元

而且又又又在组织日本仔雅去远征了，只是这次不仅旅行社不限制人头数了，均消也贵了好多，直接123000~233000日元了，几乎是上次的2倍。

其实也能理解，毕竟上个年度那几个大型项目亏损太多了，只能靠日本仔雅们的消费把亏空补回来。

*这场神奇的海外巡演，日本语wiki也是未收录（笑）。

2005年基本没啥大型活动了，也就有个事务所的大拼盘活动 2005 peace & smile，不过这个跟他本人的开支关系不大。

但是开始办一些意味不明的应援单曲和活动。如下。

2005.10.10，婚纱应援会。要求必须穿婚纱或其它婚礼正装参加活动，现场亲手赠送玫瑰花和新娘认定证书（翻译过来真的就叫这个名字）。

*这些神奇的见面会，日本语wiki也是未收录（笑）。

2006年上半年就一些日常的营业活动，不过确实在高密度发单曲，半年时间出了3张，还全都拍了很精致的MV，主要日程如下。

2006年下半年被公司送去美国游学了，让他学习英语和海外文化，虽说就几个月的留学，但是连发新cd都暂停了差不多一年。

石原氏自述是一点不懂英语的情况被送到洛杉矶去的，所以这段时间是他开始学习英语的契机。

游学的费用自不必说，肯定是公司承担的。 而且他可不是年龄很小的练习生。他每1个月不活动，这1个月他这条线对于事务所就是颗粒无收的，而且staff和他本人又不能不付工资。。所以实际上他断档学习的这几个月，对于公司是巨亏的。

这部分资讯由于他当时人在海外，有的事情日语区记录不详细，英语区的记录倒是很详细，我就直接搬运了： 2月17日，Miyavi应霹雳舞演员Mr. Freeze的邀请，在拉斯维加斯米高梅大酒店的Tabu Ultra Lounge与当地的DJ和打击乐手一起举办了他在美国的第一场个人演唱会。5月25日，在由Yoshiki在洛杉矶Wiltern剧院举办的JRock Revolution演唱会上，官方宣布Miyavi将成为s.k.i.n乐队的成员。6月29日，该乐队在加州长滩的动漫博览会上举行了他们的首演，也是他们唯一的一场演唱会。

也就是年初他游学回来，2007年5月25日加入由YOSHIKI(X JAPAN)、Gackt、SUGIZO(LUNA SEA)组成的S.K.I.N乐队。

2007年6月，开始喊���NEO VISUALIZM的口号，并邀请多位杰出艺人(Beat Boxer、Bass、Drums、Turntable、Tap、Painter)组成歌舞伎男子z。

然后2007年下半年开始疯狂做海外巡演。日程和场地直接看截图就好，全是live house。

2007年12月25日，举办2007下剋上演唱会，场地渋谷C.C.Leomonホール（其实还是2003年涩谷公会堂，2000多人的场地）。也就是回国后他在日本的动员力和2003年几乎毫无变化。。

*这段开始，日语百科几乎具体日程全删，就留了他去海外巡演的大致日程，场地全部不表，英语百科部分有所保留。

2008年又是继续疯狂做巡演，这是英语区扒下来的日程表，场地都不大，百来人的居多。

这里我再补充一下，做这种海外小场地巡演，通常做法是要拉本地赞助，也就是找本地主办进行支持，他们精算之后觉得能回本，才会愿意承担所有开支后给出秀费到艺人，否则的话如果没有演出动员能力，就只能自理场地租金、设备租赁/搬运和人员差旅，做一场亏几万很正常。按他的巡演密度和去的场地大小看，这轮巡演做出来后能把成本打平就不错。

而关于歌舞伎男子时期的录音室音源完成度和舞台人员配置完成度嘛，我就放一张图。

这是幕前所有团队的合影(上舞台的)，别的幕后支持比如贴身经纪人、调音、灯光、服装、造型，甚至录音时候帮忙的编曲、录音、混音等都不在这张合影里。 养这个团队背后是巨额的开支。

而石原现在弄的一吉他一鼓，据关系者描述，他的合计团队（幕前幕后）加一���只有7±3个这个配置，具体成员是：本人，鼓，DJ，调音，灯光，吉他技师，经纪人，根据场地情况加减3。

再补充一个我了解的常识。哪怕是live house级别的海外巡演，一般的日本乐队团队都是10人以上，比他至少多贝斯手、化妆、服装（服装这个岗经常还有2个人），有时候还自带翻译。

亏损嘛，自然是靠本土的仔雅承担（FC年费，周边，演唱会门票等），甚至可能是靠当时日本演出已经越开越大的PSC事务所家其它乐队的盈利承担。 有个小细节，大家可以去蓝鸟上看下，the GazettE的几个人全员都没和MIYAVI互粉哦。此团当时是PSC商业最成功的团。细思极恐哦。

后面，我再加几个时间线。主要是他婚育和官宣婚育的时间。

具体为什么是这个时间，我专栏另一篇关于他是否是奉子成婚的文章有具体考证，这里不表了。

结合他的演出日程，把时间线混进去看，你就可以更加体会日本粉丝和事务所的工作人员都是什么心情了。

石原氏婚育和官宣时间线

*只要石原爱理是足月的不是早产的，melody的受孕期理论上是2008.09-10这个时间段

2009.03.14 雅-miyavi-和Melody领证结婚

2009.04.05 雅-miyavi-于日比谷野外大音乐堂的LIVE演出，宣告加入PS COMPANY十年毕业。

2009.04.8 雅-miyavi-成立自己的公司J-glam inc.。

2009.04.9 雅-miyavi-于MySpace公开成立公司与结婚事实，并宣布孩子将于夏天出生。

2009.07.29 大女儿石原爱理出生

所以关于为什么他一结婚，日本本土粉丝都不是腰斩级别的跑路，而是膝斩级别的跑路，各位看官就自己思考吧。

By disrupting the AGM, we took the message directly to Barclays senior management: we won’t stop campaigning until you stop enabling Israel’s attacks on Palestinians.

Earlier this week, PSC, alongside Campaign Against Arms Trade and War on Want, released a new report uncovering that Barclays has substantially increased its investments in companies supplying Israel with weapons and military technology.

Barclays now holds over £2 billion in shares, and provides £6.1 billion in financial services, to companies supplying Israel with the weapons it uses to carry out its devastating attacks on Palestinians.

We’re calling on all people of conscience to boycott the bank.

https://palestinecampaign.org/boycott-barclays-bank/

Acting together, we’re showing Barclays that complicity in Israel’s genocidal violence has a cost. Tens of thousands of people across Britain will refuse to use your services until this complicity ends.  Already this year, over 3,000 people have closed their Barclays account on our collective account closure days.

Our Palestinian partners are clear that taking action against companies, like Barclays, that facilitate and enable Israel’s attacks, is an effective way to stand with their struggle for freedom and justice.

In solidarity,

Lewis

Students at City College in Harlem, NYC have their own Gaza Solidarity Encampment. NYPD cops are here with CUNY cops likely discussing how to deal with this.

-- Ash J, 25 Apr 2024 5:09 PM EDT

The five demands set forward by the encampment organizers are:

1) Divest from Genocide! CUNY must immediately and completely divest from companies that produce weapons and technology for zionist settler-colonial violence. Ensure accountability by publishing annual reports of CUNY's investments and contracts.  2) Academic Boycott: Ban all academic relationships with israeli universities and the zionist entity, encompassing birthright, Fullbright, and perspective trips. Ban israeli cultural groups and artists from performing at CUNY events or utilizing campus spaces. 3) IOF & NYPD off campus. NYPD, KKK, IOF they're all the same! Get them off our campuses!  4)  Solidarity with the Palestine liberation struggle / Protect CUNY Students & Workers for expressing solidarity with the Palestine Liberation Struggle: CUNY must support the internationally recognized right of colonized peoples to resist their colonizers. End repression and retaliation against Palestine organizers at CUNY. 5) Free CUNY/Fair contract: CUNY was free and fully funded for over 125 years. We demand that CUNY have its tuition free status restored to make education accessible for everyone, as well as that CUNY admin meets all the demands for a fair contract made by the Professional Staff Congress (PSC CUNY).

[walkingthroughthisworld]

Despite US neutrality before December 7, 1941, the British Government, which had been at war since September 1939, was permitted to contract with US firms for war materiel produced on a strictly "Cash and Carry" basis. On October 25, 1940, the Pressed Steel Car Company signed a 28.5 million dollar agreement with the British Purchasing Commission for the production of 501 28 ton Medium Tanks. The design which emerged in early 1941 was the M3 Medium. It was negotiated that the M3s produced by PSC would incorporate a larger British designed turret as opposed to the smaller turret of the original M3. The British labeled M3s with their turrets "Grants," while M3s with the original turret configuration were designated "Lees." The montage above documents the rehabilitation and conversion of PSC's long abandoned Hegewisch Plant in Chicago into a tank production facility. It is thought that the first PSC Grant as shown in the lower left panel is now on display at the Tank Museum at Bovington in the UK. The great drawback of the M3 was its sponson mounted main gun. By the Fall of 1941, the Ordnance Department had produced a replacement design which used the same mechanical components of the M3, but incorporated the main gun in a rotating turret. The new M4 series, dubbed "Sherman" by the British, entered production in early 1942, and completely replaced the M3 series on the various assembly lines by the end of the year. The lower right panel dates to the Spring of 1942, and shows M3 Grants on the right and M4A1 Shermans on the left.

The MacBeth Demonstration

In This Scene

“Lay on, MacDuff, and d@mned be he that first cries ‘Hold, enough!’” André recited, and he swung at Chris the tyrannosaur with his heavy Scotch broadsword. Chris slipped back and lunged, and André quickly brought his sword up into a hanging guard, and the fight was on.

Simba, King of the Pridelands and Director of the Pridelands Shakespeare Company (PSC), smiled as the two fencing masters demonstrated the new fight choreography for his next production of the “Scottish Play,” scribbling notes in a notebook as he jotted down ideas that came into his head as he imagined his father and himself clashing blades onstage, he playing a Lowland Scots MacDuff and his father the role of the Highland Pretender to the throne of Scotland.

Beside him was his mate, Nala, Queen of the Pridelands, making her own mental notes. However, she found her thoughts drifting back to Scar’s regency, when she first learned of André’s skill with the broadsword. She was but a cub, then. The infamous “Hamlet Incident” had been but a year in the past, leaving Mufasa in a coma, Scar as King-Regent, and Simba nowhere to be found. She had seen the PSC’s fight choreographer hiking along the edges of the Pridelands several times, brooding silently with a sword at his hip, always looking disheveled, as if he’d slept in his clothes and just woken up. One day, she and her friends Chumvi and Kula were foraging for food (the first of several famines during Scar’s regency was just starting) when a group of hyena thugs had cornered them to steal what they’d found. They’d escaped up a tree, surrounded by hyenas, when André had appeared. He told them all to stand down. They’d sneered at him, asking to know what he was going to do about it.

That was when André drew his broadsword.

The hyenas attacked at all once, but André retreated until they’d thinned themselves out, then began attacking them one by one, hamstringing some, slashing at others’ shoulders, and smashing others in the face with his sword’s steel basket-hilt like brass knuckles. The fight was over in minutes, and when it was over he’d escorted the cubs back to Pride Rock, scolding them for wandering off alone so far from their parents. So when Nala grew older, a few years later, she knew who she wanted to teach her how to fight…

Behind the Scenes

Since I’ve been leaning a bit more heavily into my Highland broadsword fencing in the past few months, I decided to draw Chris and André doing something broadsword-related. While Chris can canonically use a Highland broadsword, his anatomy (short arms, big head) places major limitations on the techniques and guards he can use effectively, so he prefers to use rapiers and other thrust-centric swords whenever possible. Meanwhile, I’ve always conceived of André favoring more cut-centric swords and fencing styles since his earliest inception, and in the spirit of “write what you know,” I’ve given him skills in the British/Anglophone broadsword tradition.

Thus, I decided to stage a fight scene between Chris wielding a rapier and André wielding a Highland broadsword, and in that spirit decided to trace a screenshot of the final duel between Tim Roth and Liam Neeson in Rob Roy—this one, in fact:

I drew Chris using the same (anachronistic) style of rapier that Roth uses (it’s from nearly a century before the film takes place), while André gets the broadsword. From his earliest incarnation, Chris’s signature weapon was a cup-hilt rapier without a knuckle-guard, because he was a pirate captain and Disney’s version of Captain Hook had one. But as a kid, I came up with the idea that as Chris got older, he would retire his old rapier and start favoring a shorter, lighter rapier with a knuckle-guard, and Roth’s prop was exactly what I imagined. It seems that at this point in his life, he’s already acquired his new weapon, even if it’s not his main sword.

I was originally going to have the scene take place in the same kind of castle vault as the original screenshot, but the framing wasn’t working right—there was empty space in all the wrong places and the perspective was a bit too hard to nail down. So I changed the scene to Chris and André’s studio/home, Jeronimo’s.

The story is a variation on the children’s book “Nala’s Dare,” written by Joanne Barkan, as summarized on the Lion King Wiki ( https://lionking.fandom.com/wiki/Nala%27s_Dare ). In Swashbucklers of the Magic Kingdom, the Disney stories and movies we all know and love are exactly that—movies and stories. However, these stories usually end up being “fantastic retellings” of the characters’ “real lives” when they’re not making world-renowned movies, and some characters can appear in more than one story under a variety of names and even forms. In this case, Word of God says that André is, in fact, the in-universe basis for the character of Ni the rogue lion in “Nala’s Dare’—and this fact will become important in the latter half of Swashbucklers of the Magic Kingdom as Chris, André and Kopa start playing with some unusually powerful magic…

Btw I wanted to share this opinion too, whether you agree or disagree it's up to you but, when music labels in the vkei scene started going down a few years back, around the time even PSC lost its biggest names, Yoshiki could have done sth for the scene.

I know, I know each band has always been fighting for themselves first and anything unified we saw it was labels doing it, but think about it. Yoshiki has made so many deals with people, even silly ones, I think I saw he had one with a chips' label (?) once, he has so much money and claims to care for vkei stuff right? All he's been promoting though is X Japan, a band which barely gets any release, hell its members aren't even working together anymore and speaks of the grandeur his band brought to Japan kay? He's milking every Hide birthday, every anniversary of his death, highlighting how important their friendship was etc...Bro you're just going around boasting for the stuff you made years ago but do nth to maintain it. You don't make new music to maintain your band, you prefer talking about old tales and you don't promote vkei as a whole, that you say you were responsible for its creation.

Some of you might say oh what do you expect Maria, he's a millionaire, he is a businessman that's all he cares about and I agree, but it baffles me that's all he got his money from. What are all those deals if he isn't good at what he's doing, how he keeps promoting X Japan old stuff when the band isn't even doing much anymore? How hasn't it become yesterday's news, in other words? What I am trying to say is that...if he likes money so much, kay, why he never thought of expanding vkei as an idea to the world. That's also sth he had a say on and could be taken as a community he could be responsible for. Sure it'd be easier if he had a label and eeevery active band was in it, but that way he'd stifle the creativity of other bands if he promoted them without the bands having a say in it. But yeah let's say he just promoted it as an idea. I believe he'd make lots of money from that, as the "founder", I use this term loosely, even if he wasn't benefitting from the income of the bands at all in sth like a music company that included everyone. He even made a group of young musicians and dancers in a kpop group style like...why not promote sth that's already there? Why use sb else's formula in Japanese form and attempt sth similar to them, when you can make the same move in Japanese rock form, promote it the right way and get it to the level kpop is today?

I dunno. I just think it's a shame and a lost opportunity.

the GazettE and Miyavi don't have a great relationship

One thing you may not know is that the GazettE and Miyavi don't have a great relationship. Check their public social accounts (e.g. X) to see if they have followed and interacted with each other since Miyavi 2009 PSC graduation, you can know what is the truth. It was only when Reita died that Miyavi remembered having a "Brother" on Instagram. Yes, because it can bring MIYAVI traffic. Only this!!

Because in 2004 Miyavi's Japanese Budokan(日本武道馆） and Tokyo dome fan meeeting used too many resources(The rent for such big space alone will cost millions of dollars), and there was not enough co-miyavi to provide profits. So I think he must used the GazettE's fan's profits, even Kra and Kagrra,.

Why? MIYAVI can only lived at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall for 3,000 people on 2003, and CD sales are not good also, so his own fan profits can not pay so much money. You might think that these two events are generating revenue from ticket sales and goods sales? NO. MIYAVI 2004 Tokyo Dome fan meeting is free. MIYAVI 2004 Japanese Budokan, tickets cost just over 4,000 yen, and half of them were not sold out.

Yeah, you know, PS COMPANY only has these 3 bands at that time, Alice Nince joined at the end of 2004. If you are a fan of the GazettE, you will find that the GazettE does not like to participate in collaborative lives, always one-man live, and they've also said that they hate the V kei culture of SENPAI (In English mignt means predecessor? It is 先輩), so they're not that social.

There are only three bands that PS COMPANY can call SENPAI (Kra, Kagrra, 雅-miyavi-), and it's clear that the one they hate is Miyavi.

He's a predator, taking resources from other bands. He trampled on other people's musical dreams.

Liver Transplant in India

The Liver is one of the five Vital Organs in the human body. The Liver performs many important functions for the proper functioning of the Human Body. Any changes or abnormalities in liver tissues can affect the quality of life and may need medical treatments. Certain Medical Conditions like Cirrhosis of the Liver, primary Liver cancer, or an ill-functioning Liver may require a Liver Transplant to save the life of the patient.

What is a Liver Transplant Surgery?

A liver Transplant is a life-saving Surgery performed by a specially trained gastroenterology surgeon to replace the damaged or faulty liver in a patient with a healthy liver either from a deceased donor liver or the portion of the Liver obtained from a living liver donor. Liver Transplant Surgery is a complicated surgery and requires great expertise from gastroenterology surgeons and a proper hospital setup.

Why a Liver transplant is needed?

A liver transplant is needed when the liver tissues are damaged and the Liver is unable to perform its functions. An end-stage liver disease patient requires a Liver Transplant for survival. A liver Transplant is also indicated for the treatment of primary Liver Cancer when the cancer is localized and the tumor size is smaller. Following medical conditions may make a Gastroenterologist or Hepatologist recommend a Liver Transplant for a patient:

Liver Cirrhosis

Alcohol-induced liver damage due to chronic alcoholism

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Hemochromatosis

Wilson's disease

Primary biliary Cholangitis (PBC)

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)

Biliary atresia (generally for pediatric liver patients)

Autoimmune hepatitis

Acute Liver failure

Primary Liver cancer

Types of Liver Transplants

Liver Transplants are done either with a deceased liver donor or a healthy liver donor.

Deceased Donor Liver Transplant

Orthotopic liver transplant is replacing the damaged liver in an end-stage liver disease patient with a healthy liver procured from a deceased donor.

Split liver transplants are also orthotopic liver transplants where the deceased donor's liver is split into two and transplanted into two end-stage liver disease patients. In Split liver transplant surgery, the left lateral cadaveric liver is transplanted into a child, and the right extended liver is transplanted into an adult patient.

Living Donor Liver Transplants

Living donor liver transplants are done by taking a portion of the liver from an HLA matching Liver Donor. The Donor reverts to the full functionality of the Liver within 6 weeks of liver donation and lives a perfectly normal life.

Situation at CUNY CCNY is calm. NYPD TARU left after vaping for awhile. A handful of cops are still with campus cops, presumably strategizing. Campus cops locked the buildings students were previously able to use to go to the bathroom, they also soft barricaded but not enforcing.

-- Talia Jane, 25 Apr 2024 1:22 PM EDT

The five demands set forward by the encampment organizers are:

1) Divest from Genocide! CUNY must immediately and completely divest from companies that produce weapons and technology for zionist settler-colonial violence. Ensure accountability by publishing annual reports of CUNY's investments and contracts.  2) Academic Boycott: Ban all academic relationships with israeli universities and the zionist entity, encompassing birthright, Fullbright, and perspective trips. Ban israeli cultural groups and artists from performing at CUNY events or utilizing campus spaces. 3) IOF & NYPD off campus. NYPD, KKK, IOF they're all the same! Get them off our campuses!  4)  Solidarity with the Palestine liberation struggle / Protect CUNY Students & Workers for expressing solidarity with the Palestine Liberation Struggle: CUNY must support the internationally recognized right of colonized peoples to resist their colonizers. End repression and retaliation against Palestine organizers at CUNY. 5) Free CUNY/Fair contract: CUNY was free and fully funded for over 125 years. We demand that CUNY have its tuition free status restored to make education accessible for everyone, as well as that CUNY admin meets all the demands for a fair contract made by the Professional Staff Congress (PSC CUNY).
