Lyric / Lirik Myproof Flower Dance

Fukaku tsuki sasaru to gega nakami no nai utsuwa wa
Ikudo kasanete mo nani mo afurenai nani mo umarenai
Kodoku kara no touhi wa kyomue no shinkou de
Dare ka wo mikudasu dougu no you ni

Look at myself again, I can't rule nothing

==translate==

Thorn that sticks deeply.
Anything doesn't overflow and doesn`t appear no matter how pile something up into the container without contents.
The escape from solitude is progress to nothingness. And it is like the tool to look down at someone.
Such reality...

The bottom of the smile isn`t seen even if I hold it up to the light. Let me believe it only in the memory.

The wind that wears the poison nothing but hates beautiful flower.
When time is filled and a flower flutters about in the sky...

Promise of the smile isn`t seen because it blotted by tears.
Show the continuation of the dream again sometime.
Look at myself again, I can't rule nothing.

A lot of doubts of disturbing silence
Always requesting the greatest moment
In the corner of a small history

By the chance of like inevitability
Maintenance of requesting change
Still, it is there
Do not lose sight of the important one

Now, yesterday, and tomorrow
Meaning

In several hours. In several minutes
What moved. And what disappeared ?

The future to be decided
The past to be changed
Reaching at last
The future to be decided
The past to be changed
Delivered word

Door of tomorrow that should reach it at last.
Move around inside of flow at time
The future that should exist

This too powerless word has disappeared
Without reaching without changing anything
Without having the meaning...

JPOP IS WAAAY BETTER THAN KPOP

why do kpop idols always make a japanese version of korean songs ? becoz they wanna try to attrack japanese.
then, why do they try to attrack japanese?

1. they don't proud of their own country, always try be japanese.....
2. becoz they won't b famous n they won't get much profits if they don't go to japan only 'stay' in korea,
oh,okay, what a pity..... :P \(-_-)/

then, how bout jpop idols ? even they don't need to go and promote their songs abroad, cuz they have already gotten much profits by promoting their songs ONLY IN JAPAN. even the profits are much more than kpop idols.... ^____^v

ViViD Live Performance at Sundown Festival 2011, Singapore

ViViD Live Performance at Sundown Festival 2011, Singapore
Saturday, November 26th 2011 at F1 Pit Area, Marina Promenade, Singapore

Sundown Festival is an annual music festival held in Singapore, focusing on East-Asian music. They have been bringing Korean and Japanese artists to the country before and this year they added Taiwanese to their list. Last year they invited the Japanese bands SuG and LM.C and successfully drew the Singaporean fans of Japanese rock music together.
As for this year, the event was held in F1 Pit Area, Marina Promenade, Singapore. The one and only Japanese artist who got the chance to perform at the event was ViViD. The band arrived in Singapore two days before the event - warmly welcomed by their fans.
What incidents happened during their stay in Singapore? What kind of performance did they show? Read through out this report to find out!

Singapore, November 25th 2011

It was already the rainy season in Singapore and the rain showered the small yet modern country since the early morning. However, it was the shopping mall called Square 2 in Novena area, where many people had already gathered for the opening fan-meeting with three of the total of five performers of Sundown Festival and ViViD was one of them.

The fan-meeting event was scheduled to start at 5.30 PM and it started right on time. ViViD was the second performer to appear during the fan-meeting event.

From the second level of the mall, people were cheering; this was exactly where the members appeared. Wearing the outfit of their latest single "FAKE" one by one, between the bodyguards, Reno (Gt), Ko-Ki (Dr), Ryoga (Gt), Shin (Vo), and Iv (Ba) took the escalator to go to the first level, where the fan-meeting was going on.
All cameras were directed at them. Some fans raised the posters they brought themselves and all of ViViD's fans were cheering out loud toward them: some of them calling the names of Shin, Reno, Ryoga, Iv and Ko-ki, while some others were just screaming excitedly.

The ViViD members took their place on stage. As the MC of the fan-meeting event introduced them, the fans started to sing "Happy birthday" to Ryoga who had his birthday on November 22nd. Ryoga blushed, as he might not have though it would turn out that way since his Birthday had already passed, but still he looked thankful and the fans did what they did full-heartedly.

Next an autograph session was held for the fans who were lucky enough to win the lottery for getting their signatures. When it was done, the ViViD members left the stage amongst the fans screaming. The members waved to them and Ko-Ki did the same thing he did when he had appeared - making a heart-mark with both of his hands above his head while Reno stuck out his tongue while smiling. They all looked happy with the reaction the fans gave them.

Singapore, November 26th 2011

The day had finally come. F1 Pit Area, in Marina Promenade, Singapore was also showered with rain. Since the sun was still high in the sky, the fans were already lining up, waiting for the time the gate would open. When they finally did opened the many fans looked quickly from where best to watch their favorite artists.

ViViD's fans who went there were lucky because there was a stand specially to sell ViViD merchandise like CDs, a Lip-balm phone strap, autographed posters for their Nippon Budokan one-man, and towels. While waiting, some fans took a look at the stand and grabbed some stuff.

At 8:00PM the event finally started, and after two awesome opening acts prepared by the committee, the MCs asked the fans to call for ViViD. Finally the band got onto the stage as they were the first artists to perform that night. The lights on the stage were still turned off, with only their silhouettes showing.
Ko-ki was behind his drum set while Reno, Shin, Iv, and Ryoga stood in front of the drum set, their backs turned on the audience.

"Are you ready Singapore?" Shin shouted in English, replacing the "are you ready?" original opening line of "夢」～ムゲンノカナタ～" (Yume~Mugen no Kanata~) song, as his band mates started the music of "夢」～ムゲンノカナタ～" (Yume~Mugen no Kanata~) with their musical instruments. The fans replied with loud cheers. Shin, Reno, Ryoga, and Iv diffused to their usual respective positions. They were wearing the "FAKE" outfits just like at the fan-meeting event the day before, but as for Reno, he didn't wear the outer so that he was seen with the sleeveless black inner.

Without a break, they played the second song of the night. The song was one of the coupling songs on their latest single which was called "カケラ" (kakera). The fans cheered yet louder on Reno's guitar solo part.
Giving the fans some seconds to breathe, Shin shouted "Singapore" so many times and the fans responded with cheers.
"Singapore! We are ViViD!" Shin introduced the band in English, as the event was also attended by people who didn't know them yet.
"Singapore! Let's bring it out!" Shin shouted, the fans replied with "Yeah!" Once again Shin shouted, but this time louder, "Singapore! Let's bring it out!" Then he introduced the next song "Crisis."
During the song, it was clearly seen that Ko-ki looked very hyped-up, he head banged in tune and rhythm.

"Last!" Shin shouted after finishing "Crisis." The band started the intro of next song, "risk."

"Jump! Jump!" Shin provoked the crowd, so they responded by jumping many times. Shin jumped on his spot, raising one of his arms to the sky while watching the crowd responded to him.

"ViViD deshita!" was the line Shin shouted after the song ended, before they left the stage, waving to the crowd.
MCs appeared on stage to ask "Was that enough!?" and the audience screamed "ViViD!!" out loud. The MCs asked the fans to call ViViD for an encore, so the fans did with all of their might, wishing that the ViViD members would come on to the stage and play more songs.

The wish was granted and the five men in black suits took their positions once again on stage. They looked pleased.
"OK Singapore, this is the encore. Come on Singapore!" Shin shouted in English and the fans screamed. Both ViViD and their fans were more than ready for the encore.

Ryoga stood in his spot, looking sharply at the audience while his fingers were busy dancing on the guitar's strings, starting the intro of the encore song. By the tune, fans were able to guess what song they would play, it was the intro of the single that was released on November 9th, "FAKE." The crowd were cheering loudly by the intro, ready to listen to the song performed live.

"Arigatou!" was the last word Shin said on stage of Sundown Festival, before then leaving once again. This time the ViViD members left the stage for good. They only appeared on stage once again before ending the event, together with the other performers and the MCs.

ViViD were the only rock band that night, therefore they were different and attractive to the new audience. Fans of ViViD who were there and witness Sundown Festival were totally overwhelmed by ViViD's music and charisma. There were not only ViViD fans, who came to the event, but also people who didn't know them yet. Surely, ViViD would gain new fans after their amazing and energetic performance.
ViViD still have so many things in store to show. They will release a new single "message" on January 2012. Make sure to keep your eyes on them!

Their performance that night was just a slight view that could amaze you as they still have more to show on their first performance in Nippon Budokan. The tickets and travel package to the show, for overseas fans, are still available, make sure you are one of so many other fans who witness the important moment for them.

the GazettE LIVE TOUR 2011 "VENOMOUS CELL" 2011/10/10 at Tokyo International Forum Hall A

the GazettE LIVE TOUR 2011 "VENOMOUS CELL"
2011/10/10 at Tokyo International Forum Hall A


With the release of their fifth full studio album "TOXIC", the GazettE headed towards a new frontier in Visual-kei. It was not just about the visual aspects of the members' costumes and looks, but the over all visual artwork and means of expression that goes hand in hand with each track of the album.

This became even more apparent with the opening performance of their tour "VENOMOUS CELL", which started at the SOLD OUT Tokyo International Forum only days after the album release.

While the writing "VC" was displayed in huge LED letters in the back of the stage during the standby period, each and every song was underlined with its unique lighting, video and CG sequences.

"INFUSE INTO" opened the set with quickly changing pictures as the band members came on stage, each taking their spots, almost unnoticed, yet of course amongst the cheers of the audience.

The visuals for "VENOMOUS SPIDER`S WEB" opened simply with the words rapidly flashing by, underlining the hard rhythms and the electronic sounds, which the GazettE made to fit together perfectly. The hall was shaking with excitement during each song, where especially the title track of the album "THE SUICIDE CIRCUS" caused the hall to cheer.

However, the audience celebrated the previous songs like "VORTEX", "HEADACHE MAN", "AGONY" or "Hyena" just as much as each new tracks, which created a complete new scene every time.

Songs like "痴情 / CHIJYOU " and "MY DEVIL ON THE BED" had a blunt sexual appeal, be it due to the snake draping itself around a woman's body on the screen, or RUKI's enticing moves with a cane together with the sexy bass lines from Reita. All the while, songs like "Maggots" or "PSYCHOPATH" expressed pure aggression. The fans moved accordingly, head banging wildly, pumping their fists and not giving in to the moments of silence between the songs. Instead they shouted out the names of the band members vigorously.

A different kind of aggression was shown with "RUTHLESS DEED", which was still as powerful as the previous songs, but movements slowed and the tunes were pulling more on the inside; sorrowful and emotionally straining. It had calmed the audience, to perfectly lead into "UNTITLED", which had the audience listen not only with their ears but with their hearts. The shooting-star-like lights wandering over the screen expressed the feeling of the song in all its simplicity and together with the howling guitars of Uruha and Aoi, eventually burst into applause.

"It's been six years since we last played here. It doesn't feel that long at all", RUKI said during his MC. "We have grown a little, though. From here we are starting the new tour and looking at you right here, I am already pleased. There are a lot of new songs, but let's create the mood and flow for all of them together."

"I love you", he added under his breath, but it was received with all the fans cheers and hearts, and it never mattered, how often the band had expressed their compassion for the audience in one way or the other, it was taken in again and again with gratitude.

"The main set was finished with "OMEGA", rounding up the visuals with references to the opening as the band members disappeared from stage for a while.


As it is the GazettE tradition, Reita and Kai were the first to return, presenting their new version of "RIDE WITH THE ROCKERS". The drum and bass duet was followed by the GazettE latest single "REMEMBER THE URGE", which in contrast to the songs from TOXIC seemed much lighter, making it a good opener for the encore.
"BREAK ME" caught the audience by surprise, as it was not only a coupling track from "VORTEX", but also with a number of huge black and white balloons that were thrown into the audience just for fun.

However, the complete set was finished off with well known "classics" and the fans' all-time favorites "COCKROACH" and "DISCHARGE", before demanding everything from the audience once again when finishing with " LINDA ~candidive Pinky heaven~" in the well known manner.

It showed without a doubt, that the old and the new the GazettE songs can fit together perfectly without repeating themselves nor without sounding awkward together.

With this performance the GazettE have certainly shown that Visual-kei, has its name for more reasons than just the looks of the members. They carry the visuals of their art work and their performance to a new level in perfect synchrony, with the spice of being daringly blunt in their way of expression.

After the event, a pres conference had been held and while YOSHIKI revealed that apparently he had gotten a huge offer from Hollywood, he needed to return to the states immediately on that matter.

No details have been announced as to what kind of offer it was, yet according to YOSHIKI, it was of a scale unseen until now.

Pertunjukan DEPAPEPE di Java Soulnation 2011
Minggu, 25 September 2011, Istora Senayan Jakarta


Hari Minggu tanggal 25 September 2011 cuaca tampak cerah sepanjang hari. Hari itu adalah hari terakhir dari rangkaian acara musik Java Soulnation yang diselenggarakan di Istora Senayan, Jakarta, Indonesia selama tiga hari berturut-turut yakni tanggal 23, 24, dan 25 September 2011. Jam sudah menunjukkan pukul 21.30, di depan Soulnation Stage banyak orang berkumpul. Tak lama kemudian pembawa acara muncul di atas panggung untuk memperkenalkan pengisi acara malam itu, ketika nama DEPAPEPE disebutkan, para penonton langsung bersorak gembira.

Muncullah kedua member DEPAPEPE -Miura dan Toku- dan dua orang member tambahan ke atas panggung. Mereka melambaikan tangan pada penonton yang telah menunggu penampilanmereka sejak lama. Tanpa basa-basi, mereka mengambil tempat masing-masing di atas panggung dan segera memainkan lagu pertama malam itu yakni "Hoshi." Setelah "Hoshi" selesai dimainkan, banyak penonton meneriakkan judul-judul lagu DEPAPEPE, tanda mereka berharap lagu tersebut akan dibawakan malam itu.

Lagu selanjutnya adalah "Over The Sea," di mana saat mendekati akhir lagu, para penonton menggumamkan nada sesuai petikan melodi gitar. Lagu selanjutnya adalah "Kaze," selama intro para penonton ikut bertepuk tangan sesuai dengan permainan gitar Miura. Lagu belum selesai dibawakan, DEPAPEPE berhenti untuk masuk ke sesi MC pertama oleh Miura. Dengan Bahasa Inggris, Miura membuka MC pertamanya malam itu, "Hallo Indonesia, we are DEPAPEPE!" (Arti: Halo Indonesia, kami adalah DEPAPEPE) kemudian melanjutkan permainan.

Setelah "Kaze" selesai dibawakan, Miura memulai MC lagi, kali ini mengejutkan para penggemar mereka di Indonesia karena dia berbicara menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia.
"Selamat malam, we are DEPAPEPE from Japan. Perkenalkan, Saya Takuya Miura. Saya senang bertemu dengan Anda," sontak para penggemar menyambutnya dengan sorakan gembira. Dia menunjuk Toku yang duduk di sebelahnya sembari tersenyum ke arah penonton, "perkenalkan, Yoshinari Tokuoka." Dan masih dengan senyum di wajahnya, Toku mengacungkan kedua ibu jari tangannya dan berkata "mantap" yang disambut tawa oleh para penggemar.
Miura melanjutkan MC dengan Bahasa Inggris, mengungkapkan betapa bahagianya DEPAPEPE bisa datang ke Indonesia. "Kami sangat ingin datang ke Indonesia dan kami senang bisa berada di sini mengisi acara Java Soulnation. Kami senang dengan penampilan kami hari ini. Lagu selanjutnya adalah 'Sakura Mau'!" dan merekapun memainkan lagu "Sakura Mau."

Tak memberi jeda panjang, setelah itu mereka membawakan "Koi Mizu."
"Terima kasih. Lagu selanjutnya adalah 'Kitto Mata Itsuka' yang berarti 'kita akan segera bertemu lagi' dan kami memainkan lagu ini dengan harapan akan bisa kembali lagi ke Indonesia," kata Miura, membuka lagu "Kitto Mata Itsuka."
Tak membuang sedikitpun waktu, DEPAPEPE membawakan lagu "Spur." Para penonton langsung berteriak keras menyambut lagu tersebut, sepertinya ini adalah salah satu lagu yang paling ditunggu-tunggu.
