Okay, as some of you know, I am on Twitter (@wicked_roses). One of the people I follow on there is Gackt (no, duh!). It just so happens that he (he is a God, have I mentioned this?) has his e-mail up there... I may or may not have mentioned it in a blog convo I had with Fawny Fawn. Anyway, I really, REALLY, want to e-mail him. I don't know what the hell I'd say or do if he, heaven forbid, actually wrote me back. (The President did it, so maybe he would too?)
I just want to do it. Just for the sake of doing it. To say, "I e-mailed Gackt Camui. For shits and giggles."
He wouldn't have enough time to read my e-mail, I'm sure. And it would probably be read by someone who wasn't Gackt, anyway.
Of course, there is still the problem of what would I say?
"Hey, Gackt, You are amazing! And I'm a little in love with you... like at least half of the female population that knows of your existence."
"Hey, Gackt, I wrote a poem about you with references to various songs by you in it... Thought you might like to read it. Maybe."
"Hey, Gackt, I fucking loved your movie 'Moon Child' with Hyde. Would you consider making a sequel?"
"You want my second virginity?"
"You were the Japanese version of Tin Man in my J-Rock Wizard of Oz, you should read it. You may want to try it sometime. With Miyavi and Yoshiki. And maybe me... and Pomme of course..."
"I just want to meet you."
"I promise I'm not a creepy stalker!"
"Can I have a job as your maid? I could do your laundry, wash your dishes, vacuum, etc."
Oh my god, I'm fucking pitiful...

Random is as Random does.
On a random music kick (and while attempting to write Chapter Nine) I rediscovered my love for the Japanese Visual Kei group Mucc. Completely by accident mind you. I didn't even realize it was Mucc at first, because the titles were in Japanese. I was just clicking and listening really. Which is how I find most of my music, but that is beside the point.
It is while I'm randomly clicking that I find a song that I really, really, like. It isn't the Mucc I'm used to. It is softer and sweeter sounding. At least in my opinion. I remember not being overly fond of Mucc because there was a lot of unnecessary screaming involved. But in this song there isn't any screaming.
Unfortunately, YouTube won't let me embed the video, but you can follow this link:

Beautiful song, I think. I really like it.
I think I'm going to be on a Mucc kick for a little bit. And to think, this started off as a Kagrra, kick!

Video Games anyone?
Yep, I've been distracted by Dragon Age II... My bad! Oh well, I hadn't been playing video games for a while there. I think it is okay to take a little break and actually enjoy myself... Maybe?
My head hurts, my stomach hurts. My whole body aches. And I have two more days of work to look forward to.
Have been looking into buying a house. Yes, friends, a house. With a mortgage and a yard. A little house or a duplex. Haven't decided yet. But we are looking into it. May have found one that we could live with/in. Still hoping to move to Sweden, though we are hoping to go ahead and get a house now and then save (in-between mortgage payments) for a place overseas. The sad thing is, it will be cheaper paying on a mortgage than it will be to keep renting. *shrug*
Is it wrong that I want to start writing little bits of fan-fiction again? Donnie says I'm a dork and that fan-fiction is objectively bad, no matter how well you write it. But I still kind of want to write it again. Especially since I'm playing video games lately.
A BioShock fan-fiction or Dragon Age (II)... Or maybe I'll just stick with silly J-Rock/K-Pop fairy tales... I don't know. Maybe I won't do it at all, but its something I feel the urge to do. Maybe I should do it for the sake of just writing...
I am hoping to apply for college next month *fingers crossed*
The plan is, currently, to double major in Linguistics and English Literature. With the hope that one day (when I have a degree) I can translate works of fiction and non-fiction into various languages so that everyone can enjoy the beauty of literature and reading. That's my dream anyway. I don't know how it will be trying to double major. That is going to suck, mightily. But I am determined! I don't want to be a demo lady at Sam's Club forever!
Plus, this would enable me to continue to write AND read! Maybe I will make it through that massive book list I have going?
I should really go and do laundry now, though I am not looking forward to it. I desperately miss having a washer and dryer!! I never knew how inconvenient it was to have to go out to do your laundry! How can people stand it? I certainly can't!
Have been having interesting conversations about religion with one of my co-workers who is Muslim. I don't know what to think about that either. I think he just wants me to believe in something, versus believing in nothing. But it is hard to explain to him that for years I have felt utterly abandoned by God (the gods/goddesses) and that my life hasn't changed from when I followed Him (or her) with utter abandon. My mother says that God is proofing me for the years to come. That I am being tested so that I can help others through the same things.
I think that is bullshit (Sorry, Mom). I really do. Do I have to go through every horrible thing to be able to sympathize with others? That seems stupid to me. I'm obviously not going to go through everything there is to go through and there are always going to be people who are going through something different from me. I can be sympathetic and there for someone without having to go through it myself!
Granted, the list of tragedies and atrocities is long in my short life. But I seriously doubt that whomever exists out there is keeping track just so I can "minister" to someone later.
I also hate the holidays. They are never very happy for me. And I wish we could skip over them. I do appreciate the break from work, however, so I suppose that is something.
I am rambling, skipping from topic to topic... Oh well. You guys love me anyway right?
Enough randomness for now,
love,
Sarai

A Dragon's Age (Or Two)
As many of you know, I love video games. Not a lot, I'm rather picky about the ones I play, but I do enjoy playing. Especially "Dragon Age" and "Dragon Age II". And the biggest reason for this? I enjoy the game play, I enjoy the characters. But I love the romance.
Yep, I love the romantic aspects of those two games. Too which Donnie always rolls his eyes. He says that it is dorky, it is silly, it is awkward. But I can't help it. I have had so few romantic encounters in my lifetime, that I really do enjoy little romances in books and video games. Or tv shows. And when I'm inspired by their romances I want to write stories about it.
Yes, I admit it. I have written a couple of fanfics in my time. The two largest being "J-Rock Wizard of Oz" (which you have all read, I'm sure! ;P) and one I wrote when I was fifteen involving myself, my friend Jo, my friend Ethan and the characters from the Lord of the Rings. And that may also have involved a little romance between myself and Eomer... Okay, it did.
Is it wrong that these things inspire me to write timid little fanfics?
Okay, one of my fanfics may not have been so timid... I may or may not have written a smutty love scene between Qui-Gon Jinn and a twi'lek when I was sixteen. May or may not.
And now that I've gone off on that rather uncomfortable tangent, back to the topic at hand.
Erm... what was the topic? *scrolls up* Oh right! Video games and Dragon Age(s). I accidentally came across a cosplay of Morrigan (DA 1) on Deviant Art (dA) and this in turn led me to an interesting group that is devoted to Dragon Age(I & II). Mostly it was pictures. Including a few uncomfortable ones involving characters that are decidedly not that sexy.
After saving a bunch of hilarious pictures for Donnie (he likes looking at crazy fan-art), I wandered over to YouTube to get a song for today. Well, lo & behold there is a cute little video of Merrill and Fenris (two characters from the DA 2, Fenris is HOT!) having a little conversation about how Fenris is in love with Hawke (the player character). I couldn't resist opening it and watching it, even though I've had this dialogue before when I was actually PLAYING the game. And, because I enjoy tormenting you all with my eclectic tastes and what not, here is said video. I'll get the music later! :P

Fairy Tales
As a child my favorite fairy tale was "The Little Mermaid". I had the Disney movie and it was my security blanket. I took that movie with me everywhere. I watched it all the time (My second favorite movie was "The Wizard of Oz", which should've been obvious from my "J-Rock Wizard of Oz" tribute) and had it memorized. I have a picture of me watching it with my father on the couch at my Memere's house. My mom even got me one of those tents. If you grew up in the 90's you know exactly what I'm talking about. Those plastic play tents that your mom or dad would set up in your room or the living room and you would play with your toys in there.
However, whilst I love "The Little Mermaid" (both the Disney movie and the Hans Christian Anderson story), I love a few other interesting fairy tales. Not all of them happy. So, here is my Top 5 Favorite Fairy Tales list. Just to be random! (Since "The Little Mermaid" is a given it will not appear on this list)
1. The 12 Dancing Princesses (Germany)
This story is kind of weird. Which would probably be part of the reason that I love it so much. The Twelve Dancing Princesses was originally published by the Brothers Grimm (unsurprising to be sure) and since then it has seen many different places and things. Including, Faerie Tale Theatre (Shelley Duvall!) and Barbie (ugh!).
The tale goes that a king becomes incredibly suspicious as to why his daughter's dancing shoes are always worn out every morning. Especially since they all sleep in the same room and their door is locked every night! They can't possibly be going out dancing! Or so he thinks. Of course, one can't blame him. He has to pay for new shoes for TWELVE DAUGHTERS every day... I'd be a little suspicious too.
He decides to give a reward to whomever can figure out what is happening to his daughters' shoes each night. A soldier arrives and decides he is going to try his luck. After meeting an old woman (who gives him an invisibility cloak and some good advice), he eventually discovers what is happening. I won't spoil it for you, but as the title suggests, it has to do with dancing girls.
If you are interested you can read the story here: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/TwelDanc.shtml
As far as I can tell it is the full story, at least as close to the version I have always read as I can get on the internet.
I always enjoyed this story just because I loved the idea of these princesses escaping their father for one night and dancing it away with handsome princes in an enchanted forest. Who wouldn't love to do that?!
2. Bluebeard (France)
"Bluebeard" was written by Charles Perrault, also known as Mother Goose. Bluebeard is not your typical fairy tale. It doesn't feature princesses or ghosts or anything like that. In fact, it is one of the most disturbing fairy tales I've ever had the pleasure of reading. And, something I didn't know before now, it may have been based on a couple of real people.
Bluebeard is NOT Prince Charming. No where near it in fact. He is described as hideously ugly because of his horrifically blue beard. Hence the name. At any rate, he has been married several times, but no one knows what has happened to his wives. (I'm sure you can see why that would be a little weird and somewhat frightening to any future wives) According to Monsieur Bluebeard, they all left him. But none of them returned to their families.
Eventually, after throwing many lavish parties, Bluebeard marries again. This young woman decides that under all that blue facial hair is a handsome and refined man that she wants to marry. And she does. After all, his beard isn't really all that blue. (<--- That is almost a verbatim quote from the story, just sayin')
So, this beautiful young woman moves into her husband's ridiculously huge house (I mean, the man has a key for every room, every closet, every cupboard, etc...) and is content with her lot. That is until the day her husband decides he has to go on a business trip. Because he knows that his new wife is young and because he knows she will miss him, he leaves her his keys and tells her to throw a huge party. To invite everyone she knows and have them stay with her for a few weeks while he is gone. His only stipulation is that she not open the little closet in the bottom floor of the house. He is even kind enough to show her the key that opens said forbidden closet. Of course she swears her loyalty to her husband by promising to not go anywhere near said forbidden room.
As soon as he is gone, she invites over everyone that she knows for a huge party. However, being a curious girl and a poor hostess, she quickly goes to the bottom floor of the house and opens the door to the little closet. What she finds there so startles her that she passes out, dropping the key. It is this little key that leads to her undoing.
Of course, you have to find a copy of the story to find out what happens, 'twould be a tragedy for me to spoil it.
3. The Girl with the Rose Red Slippers (Egypt)
I found this fairy tale not that long ago (about a year ago) while looking for stories from Egypt. This story is considered to be one of the first "Cinderella" stories every told.
A beautiful girl is bought as a slave. Except this owner is quite nice to her and somewhat indulges her, even giving her a pair of beautiful rose red slippers. One day, while she is bathing, an eagle comes out of nowhere and steals one of her rose red slippers (of which she was particularly fond) and makes off with it. The beautiful girl weeps bitterly over the loss, but resigns herself to it.
In the meantime the eagle (Horus' sacred bird) flies toward Memphis, (Egypt, not Tennessee) where Pharoah is currently. The bird swoops down over the courtyard and drops the slipper where Pharoah can see it. And, for some reason, because he thought the slipper was SO beautiful it MUST belong to a most beautiful woman. Which doesn't make much sense, because ugly girls like beautiful things too... Anyway, he determines to find said beautiful woman and issues a decree that they sure all of Egypt to find her.
For the rest of the story go to http://saraicrazyblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/few-interesting-bits.html (My previous blog post! :P)
4. The Old Hag's Long Leather Bag (Ireland)
This story never fails to amuse me. Partially because of the repetitive and exhaustive rhyming and the crazy. Mostly the crazy.
This story starts with a young widow who has all of her money stolen by an old woman passing herself off as a maid. Because of this the young woman and her three young daughters are forced to live hand to mouth for many years. When the time comes for the oldest of the three daughters to go out into the world she tells her mom to bake her a bannock (or at least that is what my version says, the version I found online definitely does not follow my story as closely) and send her on her way. Her mother asks if she will take a half of the bannock with her blessing or all of it without. Being greedy, the eldest daughter takes the whole without.
The oldest daughter goes into the world and meets up with an old woman. The old woman says she needs a maid and asks if the daughter will work for her. The daughter agrees and the old woman says, clean everything, but on your life do not look up the chimney (does that sound familiar?). The daughter promises. And for a few weeks she refrains from looking up the chimney. One day, however, while the old woman is out (playing bingo or attempting to cook Hansel and Gretel perhaps) the eldest daughter looks up the chimney. Inside she sees a long leather bag. She pulls it down and discovers her mother's entire fortune!
Well, obviously she takes off immediately with the long leather bag to go back to her mother and sisters. Along the way, however she meets many interesting things. Including a horse, a windmill, a goat, a sheep, a cow and a kiln.
Each one asks her for a favor and she refuses each time. When the old woman finally comes home and discovers her bag is gone she asks each animal/item the same question. The question goes like this (though not in the link I will give you, because as aforementioned they didn't follow my version):
"Horse of mine, have you seen this maid of mine? With my tig, with my tag, with my long leather bag and all the gold and silver I have earned since I was a maid?" And because the eldest daughter was not nice and helped out the Horse would reply with she went that way.
She eventually catches the girl (she is asleep inside the windmill) and she strikes her with her cane turning her into a stone (the old woman isn't called a hag for nothing!).
Cut to the second daughter. Its been a year, so obviously her sister must be doing well and she decides she is going out into the world too. She also takes the whole bannock without her mother's blessing and meets up with the old woman. She also promises not to look up the chimney and eventually does. She also discovers her mother's fortune and takes off with it. And, just like her older sister, she isn't kind to the things she meets along the way.
Because of this she, too, ends up turned into a stone inside of the windmill.
Its now been two years since the eldest daughter left and a year since the middle daughter left. Obviously this is a sign that they are doing so well that they don't have to write home. The youngest daughter decides to follow their idea by going out into the world. Except, she takes the half a bannock with her mother's blessing, unlike her two greedy sisters.
So, because she is obviously different from her sisters, when the time comes that she is running back home with her mother's fortune she naturally stops to help those along the way that ask for help.
When the old woman follows suit, she asks: "Horse of mine, have you seen this maid of mine? With my tig, with my tag, with my long leather bag and all the gold and silver I have earned since I was a maid?" and the horse basically says, "Do you think I have nothing better to do than to keep track of your maids?"

5. Marya Morevna (Russia)
The story of Marya Morevna starts off with Prince Ivan. Prince Ivan has three beautiful sisters and he just inherited the kingdom of Russia. His sisters are, one by one, married off to some awesome shapeshifting princes and Ivan finds himself incredibly alone.
One day, while walking around on a battlefield, Ivan encounters the beautiful Warrior Princess Marya Morevna. He immediately falls in love with her and they get married. They live happily for a long time, but one day Marya decides that she must leave to fight someone or other and she makes Ivan promise not to go into a closet (or the upper turret, depending on which version you read. Also, doesn't that sound really familiar?). He promises, however, as soon as she is gone he totally opens it.
Inside he finds Koshchei the Deathless in chains, except Ivan doesn't know that. He just sees a withered old man who is begging for food and drink because Marya hasn't given him either in 10 years. Obviously, Ivan gives him water. Once Koshchei drinks up all the water he breaks his chains and vows to kidnap Marya. He takes off and poor Ivan realizes what an idiot he has been.
Not deterred by the creepy deathless dude that just escaped his wife's closet, Ivan vows to go after Marya and save her from Koshchei. On his journey to save his wife he decides to stop by and visit his three sisters as well. He explains to them and his brothers-in-law what has happened and each brother-in-law asks Ivan to leave something of his behind. Presumably to remember him by.
Anywho, eventually he finds Marya Morevna. He tells her that they should leave and that she should forgive him, though I wouldn't blame her if she didn't, since god only knows what Koshchei has been doing to her since he captured her.
However, Koshchei is not only Deathless, but he has a magical talk horse as well that stumbles when there is trouble. So Koshchei asks it what's going on? and the horse replies with one of my favorite lines in a story (partially because it is totally unnecessary and partially because it is ridiculous):
"It is possible to sow wheat, to wait 'til it grows up, to reap it and thresh it, to grind it to flour, to make five pies of it, to eat those pies, and then to start in pursuit - and even then to be in time."
So obviously, Koshchei catchs them. He tells Ivan that because he gave him water, he will spare him this time. He will even spare him the second time. However, if he attempts to rescue his wife a third time Koshchei will personally chop him into itty-bitty pieces.
Un-dettered by this threat. Ivan obviously rescues his wife again. The horse once again says something ridiculously impossible that they could do and still catch them and Koshchei once again says he will forgive Ivan. However, next time he will cut him up.
And again Ivan rescues Marya, so Koshchei chops him into little bits. Not only does he chop him into little bits though, Koshchei puts those bits into a barrel, covers the barrel with pitch and iron hoops and drops it in the middle of the ocean.
Now, as soon as that barrel falls into the ocean, the items Ivan left with his brothers-in-law turn black. Obviously this is a bad thing and the brothers-in-law set off to rescue their slightly derpy brother-in-law, Ivan.

There you have it, my top 5 favorite fairy tales of all time. Expect more fairy tales sometime in the future, as I am a huge lover of fairy tales and fantasy. Nothing like a story where a little girl has her hands chopped off by her own father (which is apparently a parable about incest).
However, whilst I love "The Little Mermaid" (both the Disney movie and the Hans Christian Anderson story), I love a few other interesting fairy tales. Not all of them happy. So, here is my Top 5 Favorite Fairy Tales list. Just to be random! (Since "The Little Mermaid" is a given it will not appear on this list)
1. The 12 Dancing Princesses (Germany)
This story is kind of weird. Which would probably be part of the reason that I love it so much. The Twelve Dancing Princesses was originally published by the Brothers Grimm (unsurprising to be sure) and since then it has seen many different places and things. Including, Faerie Tale Theatre (Shelley Duvall!) and Barbie (ugh!).
The tale goes that a king becomes incredibly suspicious as to why his daughter's dancing shoes are always worn out every morning. Especially since they all sleep in the same room and their door is locked every night! They can't possibly be going out dancing! Or so he thinks. Of course, one can't blame him. He has to pay for new shoes for TWELVE DAUGHTERS every day... I'd be a little suspicious too.
He decides to give a reward to whomever can figure out what is happening to his daughters' shoes each night. A soldier arrives and decides he is going to try his luck. After meeting an old woman (who gives him an invisibility cloak and some good advice), he eventually discovers what is happening. I won't spoil it for you, but as the title suggests, it has to do with dancing girls.
If you are interested you can read the story here: http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/TwelDanc.shtml
As far as I can tell it is the full story, at least as close to the version I have always read as I can get on the internet.
I always enjoyed this story just because I loved the idea of these princesses escaping their father for one night and dancing it away with handsome princes in an enchanted forest. Who wouldn't love to do that?!
2. Bluebeard (France)
"Bluebeard" was written by Charles Perrault, also known as Mother Goose. Bluebeard is not your typical fairy tale. It doesn't feature princesses or ghosts or anything like that. In fact, it is one of the most disturbing fairy tales I've ever had the pleasure of reading. And, something I didn't know before now, it may have been based on a couple of real people.
Bluebeard is NOT Prince Charming. No where near it in fact. He is described as hideously ugly because of his horrifically blue beard. Hence the name. At any rate, he has been married several times, but no one knows what has happened to his wives. (I'm sure you can see why that would be a little weird and somewhat frightening to any future wives) According to Monsieur Bluebeard, they all left him. But none of them returned to their families.
Eventually, after throwing many lavish parties, Bluebeard marries again. This young woman decides that under all that blue facial hair is a handsome and refined man that she wants to marry. And she does. After all, his beard isn't really all that blue. (<--- That is almost a verbatim quote from the story, just sayin')
So, this beautiful young woman moves into her husband's ridiculously huge house (I mean, the man has a key for every room, every closet, every cupboard, etc...) and is content with her lot. That is until the day her husband decides he has to go on a business trip. Because he knows that his new wife is young and because he knows she will miss him, he leaves her his keys and tells her to throw a huge party. To invite everyone she knows and have them stay with her for a few weeks while he is gone. His only stipulation is that she not open the little closet in the bottom floor of the house. He is even kind enough to show her the key that opens said forbidden closet. Of course she swears her loyalty to her husband by promising to not go anywhere near said forbidden room.
As soon as he is gone, she invites over everyone that she knows for a huge party. However, being a curious girl and a poor hostess, she quickly goes to the bottom floor of the house and opens the door to the little closet. What she finds there so startles her that she passes out, dropping the key. It is this little key that leads to her undoing.
Of course, you have to find a copy of the story to find out what happens, 'twould be a tragedy for me to spoil it.
3. The Girl with the Rose Red Slippers (Egypt)
I found this fairy tale not that long ago (about a year ago) while looking for stories from Egypt. This story is considered to be one of the first "Cinderella" stories every told.
A beautiful girl is bought as a slave. Except this owner is quite nice to her and somewhat indulges her, even giving her a pair of beautiful rose red slippers. One day, while she is bathing, an eagle comes out of nowhere and steals one of her rose red slippers (of which she was particularly fond) and makes off with it. The beautiful girl weeps bitterly over the loss, but resigns herself to it.
In the meantime the eagle (Horus' sacred bird) flies toward Memphis, (Egypt, not Tennessee) where Pharoah is currently. The bird swoops down over the courtyard and drops the slipper where Pharoah can see it. And, for some reason, because he thought the slipper was SO beautiful it MUST belong to a most beautiful woman. Which doesn't make much sense, because ugly girls like beautiful things too... Anyway, he determines to find said beautiful woman and issues a decree that they sure all of Egypt to find her.

Ever
In celebration of my blog reaching 800 views (no small feat since I've had this thing forever!) I am posting my newest favorite song by God. I mean Gackt! Not only is Gackt God, but he is the sex as well. Tee hee!
Anyway, now that I'm done drooling *wipes mouth*, okay maybe not quite done. Also, Gackt is my Asian Pacific American Heritage Month person of the day. Even though he isn't from America. Which is something I kind of hate about this politically correct stuff, it limits us to learning about only people who were "Americans", not anyone else. What about Nelson Mandela? Or one of the Emperors of China? Being politically correct limits our hero choices. But enough of that tangent, Gackt is my person of the day. Go Gackt!
Ever - Gackt

If you will recall, I wrote a story about a year and a half ago called "The J-Rock Wizard of Oz". Well, I think it is about time I published it and a few of my other stories/poems.
I haven't figured out how to do this just yet, but I'm going to do some research and see what happens. I really want to show the world what I can do and I think this is the way to do it.
So, let me know what you think.
All for now, kittens.

News of the J-Rock persuasion...
Current mood: Catalyzed
Yeah, so I have been slacking... sorry people, I have had sooooooooooooooo much go on these past few months. But I promise now, I will keep you up to date the best that I can.
Let's get started, shall we?
Alice Nine has a new look... ain't it hot?
DaizyStripper will be releasing a new single on the 3rd March 2010. Not many details are known as of yet, but I will tell you all something as soon as I know more.
BIG NEWS! My beloved Jun-berry... my beloved Phantasmagoria... have re-united... I am so happy. They’ve also just announced the release of 2 new CDs!
The first one is 「Seeds of Brain」, which is a “RARE TRACKS MINI ALBUM”. Apparently, the band has recorded some songs in 2006~2007 which have never been released so far, and they’ll be featured on that mini-album. It will be released on the 10th of March and cost 2100 yen. The tracklist is:
01. Seeds of Brain

The second release is a new single entitled 「Diamond Dust」 which will also be released on the 10th of March, this time for 2625 yen though. It seems that before the decision about stopping their activites, Phantasmagoria was planning to go major and the major debut single was supposed to be 「神歌」. 「Diamond Dust」 is a coupling track which was going to be featured on that single. The single’s tracklist is as follows:
01. Diamond Dust

Okay I think I've posted the most important things,
小鹿
Hello from Fawn.
Current mood: Argumentative
I have so much to post I hardly know where to begin... so I guess I will start with this...
So much to post right now I barely know where to begin here... so I guess I will just pull at random here...
the GazettE- STACKED RUBBISH ~vs~ DIM... A comparative rant.
I've been wanting to discuss this for a while now, and up until now I have been to lazy to do so, though upon sitting here with Sarai, showing her DIM, and I realized just how pissed off I really am at the Fandom... mostly for their blind lack of taste... and mindless way of thinking, that anything with the GazettE's name on it, is made of gold, when it is clearly not.
Okay so let's get on with the comparative rant...
STACKED RUBBISH- 14 songs. Youtubers and LJ asses alike have stated that the album sucks, that Ruki should never "rap", and that the album is generic and amature... Granted this is where I would say, "Awww, they dropped most of their visuals after NIL and you think all of a sudden because they look semi-normal, you are thrown for a loop and suddenly think that their music sucks... and when they go back to their visuals for DIM, you think they once again rock... yeah okay, visuals are a part of Visual Kei, but it's not all that is VK... the GazettE doesn't suck because they aren't as visual as they once were... give me a fucking break..."
You people have NO sense of taste...
Let's break this down one by one shall we?
ART DRAWN BY VOMIT- The name, while it sounds like it came from some obscure Diru album or the likes, it is anything but... while it is only 1 minute and 55 seconds... it is full of defilement that only the GazettE can achieve, with lyrics like "Hey Jesus... suck my grudge and hate..." how can you deny the awesome that is this...? I can't.
AGONY- Two words... OH SHIT! Sarai seems to be of the opinion that, that all that need be said about said song... I however love to elaborate..., seeing how it is my favorite song on the album. First of all... who says "Fuckboy"? And who was he copulating with for the last time... this song is random English, and hilarious like Silly God Disco... a really fucked up good time... and dare you say a damn thing about Ruki's fine rapping... fuck you. It's hilariously awesome.
HYENA- More copulation here... lyrically, this song is dirty and sexy and full of sexual and dirty connotations, it's almost as if he were talking down to a one time lover or an ex, I didn't realize he was capable of writing this way... Not to mention the PV... all of them in a steel cage... I seriously can't see anything wrong with this...
BURIAL APPLICANT- This song, lyrically is very fucked up... and obscure, I don't know whether he is singing about his own death or that of someone else, by his or someone else's hand... The song is full of torment, and self loathing... and rap... I think maybe that is what the turn off is for most of these scene kids, and this album, it being more raw, than even NIL or MADARA were, most of these generic teens didn't know what to think. This video screams tortured soul... a child so wrought with self hate, that he has to end things... his own parents giving him the means to do so.
Ganges ni akai bara (ガンジスに紅い薔薇)- Ruki doing Ska... say it ain't so... oh give me fucking break people... he at least goes the extra mile to not sound like *insert random generic rock band here*. This song although sounds happy to a point, lyrically it is random, and all over the place, much like Silly God Disco. But it's different and edgy and catchy. I like it, though I like other songs on the album better.
Regret- This song might be the REAL REASON that the scene kids hate this album so... it talks all about INSANE FANDOM... with lyrics like, "I got a piercing just like you
I wore a ring just like you, and put on rouge just like you. I colored my hair the same as yours." This has to be the real reason right here folks... they don't like when Ruki sings truth... I so love this song.
Calm Envy- This song is amazing both musically and lyrically. Aoi's intro makes me weak in the knees... literally. This shows Ruki's versatility as a writer, he is able to write from both his point of view and from that of a stranger... this song speaks of a girl not wanting her lover to leave her, a beautiful ballad, and a slight, yet nice departure from the first 6 songs on the album.
SWALLOWTAIL ON THE DEATH VALLEY- Much like Ganges ni akai bara, this song has a very Ska feeling to it, more than Ganges ne akai bara even... Sex Ska at that... with lyrics such as "A night of pussy." Wow...
MOB 136 Bars- This 100% English song (Yes it is in English, don't argue with me, I'm right, you're wrong, get over it...) is paranoia to the max... I have to wonder is it his or someone else... A very screamy song, another departure from the above songs...
Gentle Lie- Uruha's intro is very beautiful... this is yet another, very mature relationship ballad... talking about the trials of a relationship, from his point of view... This song is like Calm Envy, only not as melodic. I do like it all the same.
Filth in the Beauty- Oh my fucking God... mature content here... Two words for you here... "sexual disgrace" A father after his child in a sexual manner... Yeah this album is definitely NOT for children... Return it to CDJapan right this very moment, get your money back, you are not mature enough for this album...
CIRCLE OF SWINDLER- MORE ENGRISH!!! Such a cute song... okay yeah, not so cute, but Ruki's English is... This song is heavy on the guitar, and drum line. A real headbanger here.
Chizuru (千鶴)- APARTMENT!! God, if I hear one more retarded fan girl say that the GazettE sold out by doing a song for a Korean film, I am going to split some skulls with some tire irons... Have you seen the movie? Probably not, so quit ranting about it... This song is so lyrically profound, Ruki sings of a shattered relationship, broken beyond the point of mending, perhaps by death, I don't know, but damn the song is fucking amazing...
And FINALLY...
People Error- A classical instrumental piece that I have actually fallen asleep to on more than one occasion... Ruki knows how to compose some seriously good music... that's all I need to say about this...
Moving on to the suckage that is DIM...
I'm afraid this is going to be short as there are only 7 new songs on this album... yeah bitch and whine and moan and state "No Fawn, you're wrong, there are 17 songs on this awesome album." To this I say, shut the fuck up... More than half of them are either bullshit instrumental filler, and/or songs from singles more than a year old. It's like the boys up and decided "Hey let's make an album!", then got bored with the idea half way through and were under contract so they had to finish, so they threw in all this bullshit and called it good...
Okay the tracks are as followed...
「Hakuri」 (「剥離」)- Instrumental, I kind of figured there would at least be one of them on the album since they tend to use these as starts for lives. It's errie and very normal for Ruki's style.
THE INVISIBLE WALL- A song that was released prior to DIMs release. Very guitar heavy, lyrically tragic, it is basically a typical the GazettE song. Though the PV was visually stunning.
A MOTH UNDER THE SKIN- Reita can clearly be heard throughout this song... that's about the only thing that I can say regarding it... Lyrically it is a bit tame.
LEECH- Now I have to ask... what in the fuck is this song doing on this album, seeing how it was released as a single a whole nine months before the release of DIM... I don't really like the song, the PV was retarded and lyrically it just wasn't anything to write about.
Nakigahara (泣ヶ原)- This song is the one good thing about this album, lyrically, it was unexpectedly beautiful, yet tragic, and the melodies that Aoi and Uruha contributed were just stunning, I also enjoyed the fact that Kai's drum line was clearly heard throughout the song, which is a rarity.
Erika (「エ リ カ」)- Gah... another filler... this is meh... I was seriously hoping that this was the last one I would hear on the album, but well... yeah... you will see...
HEADACHE MAN- Granted while I love the song, it is HEAVY FUCKING METAL to the max, and reminded me so much of the GazettE's MADARA era... I find myself shaking my head wondering what (much like LEECH) the fuck it is doing on the album, as it too, was released as a single a full four months before the release of DIM...
Guren (紅蓮)- ARE YOU SERIOUS? Okay this is getting ridiculous... this (Granted I can not complain about the song itself as I love it, in fact it is one of my ultimate favorites ever... but that's beside the point.) song was released a full YEAR AND FIVE MONTHS before the release of DIM, what in the FUCK is it doing on the album... seriously guys? Why?
Shikyuu 「子宮」- Um yet another instrumental track... this is getting annoying... and this is just really to creepy for my tastes... especially after Guren, which lyrically talks of the lost of a pregnancy... and then for this track, which literally translates to "Womb"... is fucking creepy as fuck... screeching, crying, electronically distorted baby cries... Ugh, I don't like it... I would have much rather have heard an actual lyrical song...
13STAIRS[-1]- Okay... what kind of title is that??? Anyway... the song is sound and Ruki's voice is very nice... the song is sort of strong, studio wise, it's okay I guess, though I much rather preferred it live on THE DIM SCENE TOUR. He really played with the song. Ruki's cute counting to 12 in English, and that vibrato he does throughout the song, is really nice.
DISTRESS AND COMA- WHY (Granted much like HEADACHE MAN, I love the song, as it is a second to Taion and lyrically finishes the story of Junko)!!!! Another fucking previously released single, it was released with HEADACHE MAN... why is this on the fucking album? WHY!!!!????
Kanshoku 「感触」- ANOTHER INSTRUMENTAL... God I am almost ready to pitch this fucking album out my fucking window... and seriously if it weren't for Nakigahara, I probably would have already... as this is getting absurd.
Shiroki Yuutsu 白き優鬱- A generic ballad... not really as good as others they have done in my opinion, it just doesn't stay with me, it's like it's gone as soon as the song concludes... which normally doesn't happen with me, as I am a ballad whore, but this one just really didn't stick with me.
IN THE MIDDLE OF CHAOS- Ruki's reflecting on his own past and career with this mildly cheerful song... it's um okay I guess... just not really what I usually expect from the GazettE...
Mourou 「朦朧」- ANOTHER INSTRUMENTAL!!! ARGH! I am really getting tired of this shit...
Ogre- This song is just plain annoying, it's all over the place both musically and lyrically, it has no stability at all. I can't really say anything else about it.
DIM SCENE- This song confused me at first lol, the violins and orchestra bit, was really nice and then the guitar riff came into it, and it caught me off guard.
More vibrato, I like it, but much like Shiroki Yuutsu, it doesn't stay with me.
So yeah, I guess that's everything... now I feel a bit better having ranted a while.
Enjoy the albums, if you can stomach DIM, more power to you, though I seriously suggest you try STACKED RUBBISH, NIL, MADARA or DISCHARGE, because they are all 110% better than what DIM is.
Well I should get on with posting everything else now...,
小鹿
I have so much to post I hardly know where to begin... so I guess I will start with this...
So much to post right now I barely know where to begin here... so I guess I will just pull at random here...
the GazettE- STACKED RUBBISH ~vs~ DIM... A comparative rant.
I've been wanting to discuss this for a while now, and up until now I have been to lazy to do so, though upon sitting here with Sarai, showing her DIM, and I realized just how pissed off I really am at the Fandom... mostly for their blind lack of taste... and mindless way of thinking, that anything with the GazettE's name on it, is made of gold, when it is clearly not.
Okay so let's get on with the comparative rant...
STACKED RUBBISH- 14 songs. Youtubers and LJ asses alike have stated that the album sucks, that Ruki should never "rap", and that the album is generic and amature... Granted this is where I would say, "Awww, they dropped most of their visuals after NIL and you think all of a sudden because they look semi-normal, you are thrown for a loop and suddenly think that their music sucks... and when they go back to their visuals for DIM, you think they once again rock... yeah okay, visuals are a part of Visual Kei, but it's not all that is VK... the GazettE doesn't suck because they aren't as visual as they once were... give me a fucking break..."
You people have NO sense of taste...
Let's break this down one by one shall we?
ART DRAWN BY VOMIT- The name, while it sounds like it came from some obscure Diru album or the likes, it is anything but... while it is only 1 minute and 55 seconds... it is full of defilement that only the GazettE can achieve, with lyrics like "Hey Jesus... suck my grudge and hate..." how can you deny the awesome that is this...? I can't.
AGONY- Two words... OH SHIT! Sarai seems to be of the opinion that, that all that need be said about said song... I however love to elaborate..., seeing how it is my favorite song on the album. First of all... who says "Fuckboy"? And who was he copulating with for the last time... this song is random English, and hilarious like Silly God Disco... a really fucked up good time... and dare you say a damn thing about Ruki's fine rapping... fuck you. It's hilariously awesome.
HYENA- More copulation here... lyrically, this song is dirty and sexy and full of sexual and dirty connotations, it's almost as if he were talking down to a one time lover or an ex, I didn't realize he was capable of writing this way... Not to mention the PV... all of them in a steel cage... I seriously can't see anything wrong with this...
BURIAL APPLICANT- This song, lyrically is very fucked up... and obscure, I don't know whether he is singing about his own death or that of someone else, by his or someone else's hand... The song is full of torment, and self loathing... and rap... I think maybe that is what the turn off is for most of these scene kids, and this album, it being more raw, than even NIL or MADARA were, most of these generic teens didn't know what to think. This video screams tortured soul... a child so wrought with self hate, that he has to end things... his own parents giving him the means to do so.
Ganges ni akai bara (ガンジスに紅い薔薇)- Ruki doing Ska... say it ain't so... oh give me fucking break people... he at least goes the extra mile to not sound like *insert random generic rock band here*. This song although sounds happy to a point, lyrically it is random, and all over the place, much like Silly God Disco. But it's different and edgy and catchy. I like it, though I like other songs on the album better.
Regret- This song might be the REAL REASON that the scene kids hate this album so... it talks all about INSANE FANDOM... with lyrics like, "I got a piercing just like you
I wore a ring just like you, and put on rouge just like you. I colored my hair the same as yours." This has to be the real reason right here folks... they don't like when Ruki sings truth... I so love this song.

So this guy, Mark Kelly DePinto, died recently because his "friends" left him by the side of the road when they knew he was suffering from a heart attack. Basically they were told to perform CPR on the victim and wait for the rescue crew, but as the rescue crew arrived, the car sped off, leaving poor Mr. DePinto dead on the side of the road.

WHO IS NEVER DRIVING AGAIN!
Random Obsessions...
Current mood: Chipper
You may often think to yourself (when you are watching the show), What the hell is wrong with us... Well here are a few other things you might wonder about:
What is up with Sarai's obsession with the Platypus? She brings it up quite often...
Sarai's Response?
How can you resist something that fucking cute?!
Seriously?! Just look at those cute little bills and those adorable little claws and that funny little tail and you should know why Sarai is a lover of them.
Besides, her love is pure, kind of like Shawn Spencer's love of Pineapples on the show Psych.
And who can blame him, Pineapples are pretty frickin' amazing.
Then of course there is Pomegranate's obsession with K-Pop. Once again we would like to point out the following:
We dare you to find someone cuter!! Okay, well there are some that are cuter, well not really cute but HOT! That brings us to the obsession with J-Rock... Well, We just can't help that.
And, for the record, Sarai would like to say that she DOES not HAVE an ADDICTION to KOREAN DRAMAS. None whatsoever.
So, from a purple cloud somewhere in the south-eastern-northern hemisphere of St. Johnny's (Depp that is) mind, we of the Crazy Show are OVER AND OUT!!
You may often think to yourself (when you are watching the show), What the hell is wrong with us... Well here are a few other things you might wonder about:
What is up with Sarai's obsession with the Platypus? She brings it up quite often...
Sarai's Response?
How can you resist something that fucking cute?!
Seriously?! Just look at those cute little bills and those adorable little claws and that funny little tail and you should know why Sarai is a lover of them.
Besides, her love is pure, kind of like Shawn Spencer's love of Pineapples on the show Psych.
And who can blame him, Pineapples are pretty frickin' amazing.
Then of course there is Pomegranate's obsession with K-Pop. Once again we would like to point out the following:
We dare you to find someone cuter!! Okay, well there are some that are cuter, well not really cute but HOT! That brings us to the obsession with J-Rock... Well, We just can't help that.
And, for the record, Sarai would like to say that she DOES not HAVE an ADDICTION to KOREAN DRAMAS. None whatsoever.
So, from a purple cloud somewhere in the south-eastern-northern hemisphere of St. Johnny's (Depp that is) mind, we of the Crazy Show are OVER AND OUT!!

Devastating News From Versailles
Current mood: Sad
Unfortunately, I have some devastating news for fans of Versailles, and it’s extremely hard for me to post this. I translated the announcement directly from their homepage, but due to my own shock, there might be some errors. However, and I apologize for that, but I’m sure you all will get the general idea of what Kamijo posted...
「Versailles」 Urgent Announcement
Though bassist Jasmine You had taken time off in order to rest, because of poor physical condition, we received a report that early in the morning on August 9th, he died. Because of the extreme abruptness of this news, the members and staff are all dumbfounded and trying hard to accept this it. As soon as his family has been notified and updated as to the details and we receive their permission, we will further report to all of the fans. Moreover, with the current announcement, in regards to activity, please allow us to postpone things indefinitely.
I'm just in total shock right now... My heart goes out the Versailles family, everyone involved at Warner Music Japan, and Jasmine's family.
As soon as Kamijo posts another announcement, I will pass it along...

J-Rock Wizard of Oz (Chapter Thirteen)
Current mood: Crazy
Chapter Thirteen: Getting back Home Again
“So, I hear you have brought me the Button.” Said the booming voice.
“Yes, we killed her with tofu. Who knew something so delicious could be so deadly.” Said Sarai, shrugging her shoulders. The rest of the group looked at her as if she had lost her marbles, then focused their attention back on the wizard’s voice.
“Good. Well, come back in a few weeks and I’ll let you know if I’ll help you.”
“What?!” cried Pomme. “We went through all that trouble and you aren’t even going to help us?! You bastard.”
Just then Sarai noticed a curtain. Behind this curtain stood a shadow. A shadow with very eccentric hair, sticking out at all angles. Tip-toeing over she pulled back the curtain to reveal a short man, well obviously he was taller than Sarai, but shorter than everyone else in the room.
“Who are you?” demanded the group in unison.
“Why, I’m the wizard.” Replied the man.
“You don’t look like a wizard to me. Well, you do have the crazy hair down I suppose. Though, are wizards supposed to have that shade of orange in their hair?” said Pomme.
“What’s wrong with Orange?” asked the man indignantly.
“Nothing. Who are?” replied Sarai hastily.
“I’m Ruki. The wizard of J-Rock.”
“And you aren’t going to help us get home even though we just almost got eaten by a psycho bitch obsessed with shoes?” asked Sarai.
“No. I’m not. Because I don’t know how. You see, I lied. I’m not really the Wizard of J-Rock. I just pretend that I am. So far nobody has disputed my claim to the Wizard-hood, so I’m fine. I can’t help you get home at all. I’m a terrible person.” With this Ruki hung his head in shame and scuffed his shoes on the floor.
“Well if you aren’t the Wizard who is? And why did you want Twink’s button? And how the hell are we supposed to get home?” asked Pomme.
“Actually, you’ve already met the wizard. The wizard is hide. I wanted Twink’s button because it controls the flying platypi and, seriously, who doesn’t want an army of flying platypi at their disposal? And as to how you are to get home you will have to ask hide. I have no answers.” With this Ruki took the button and disappeared leaving the group alone to contemplate what he had said.
“Now, we’ll never get home.” Cried Pomme, slumping down against a wall.
“It’s okay Pomme, we’ll figure something out. Maybe we can find where hide has band practice and make him tell us how to get home.” Replied Sarai, leaning over to hug Pomme.
As the guys all slumped against the wall to hug the girls a bright pink bubble appeared in the middle of the room. With a burst of pink light hide appeared.
“So, I heard you still haven’t figured out how to use the magic in the shoes. I thought you were smart enough, but apparently not.” hide crouched down in front of Pomme, lighting a cigarette. “Don’t cry. I’ll tell you how to get home. You’ll need to stand up though.”
“Are you kidding? I don’t know if I can get up!” said Pomme, using Sarai and Gackt to boost her upward. “Okay, what do I do to get home?”
“Click your heels and whisper ‘There’s no place like Japan, There’s no place like Japan’ and you’ll be home. Oh and you sprinkle this pink spider glitter on yourselves.”
“And you couldn’t tell us that at the beginning why?!” cried Sarai.
“Well that wouldn’t have been any fun now would it? I knew you guys would make it, it was just fun to watch. I have a big screen crystal square and it gets great reception on you guys.”
“Wow. That was kind of a dick move, dude.” Said Pomme. She turned toward Sarai and the guys and gave a half smile. “Well, I guess it’s time to say our good-byes.”
First she hugged Yo, then Miyavi and finally Gackt.
“I think I’ll miss you most of all.” She whispered.
“What was that?” asked Yo and Miyavi.
“Nothing. Innocent, I’m innocent!” giggled Pomme, giving everyone another hug. After her second hug, Pomme flung some of the glitter into the air so that it settled on her and Sarai.
“AH!” exclaimed Yo. “You got some in my fur! Do you know how hard it is to glitter out of fur?! Fuck!”
“Oops. Sorry Yo!” said Pomme, trying to stifle a giggle. “Well Sarai, hug everyone so we can get out of here. I have had enough of these shoes!”
“Fine, fine.” Said Sarai. She then proceeded to hug Gackt, Miyavi and lastly Yo.
“You know, I was thinking. Maybe if I kissed you, you would turn back into a prince.” With that Sarai kissed Yo’s cheek. Lo and behold the magic worked and Yoshiki was turned back into a handsome prince.
“Thank You.” He said. “We will never ever forget you.”
With a few tears and a few more hugs, the girls held each other’s hands, closed their eyes, clicked their heels and whispered.
“Um, aren’t you forgetting the glitter?” said hide.
“We just did the glitter!” said Pomme.
“Well you need more of it! God, got to do everything myself.” Replied hide, snatching the glitter he flung it all over the girls.
When they opened their eyes, they were in the abandoned house they had ridden to the world of J-Rock, unharmed and full of wonder at their adventures.
When they finally made their way back to Auntie Fawn’s they were both given a severe scolding and several hugs.
“Oh, Auntie Fawn,” said Pomme. “I had the most wonderful dream and met the most wonderful people. And now I know, there is no place like Japan.”

Chapter Twelve: How to Kill a Bitch
“Well my pretty,” said Twink. “See this beautiful hourglass? It has exactly two hours of sand in it. When it runs out you will become my dinner and I’ll have the shoes because you are dead. Isn’t that lovely?”
“You are one really sick bitch, you know that right?” replied Pomme, spitting at Twink.
Twink came up close, too close for Pomme’s taste because the smell of rot and hypocrisy made her gag, and grabbed Pomme’s chin forcing her to look into the Wicked Bitch’s eyes.
“Oh darling, You haven’t seen anything yet. Toodles!” And with that Twink disappeared, slamming the door behind her and locking it.
Left alone in the silence, Pomme finally began to really cry.
“I’m scared Auntie Fawn! I’m scared! God, I’m scared. I don’t know where Sarai is, she could have died from an asthma attack and I wouldn’t know. I don’t know where the guys are and I never got to tell Gackt that he is a great kisser, or to kiss him again. Auntie Fawn, Uncle Aoi! Help me, I don’t know what to do.”
“Auntie Fawn, Auntie Fawn!” cackled Twink, her horrifying visage appearing in the crystal triangle behind her. “Nothing is going to save you now lovely. By the way, do you want to be barbecued or slow roasted?”
With that, the image disappeared and Pomme was left alone to watch the sand falling and wait for death to arrive.
Sneaking up close, Sarai and the guys peeked over a little ledge to the fan-girls below. They were parading around showing off their strange clothes and even stranger make-up, while pretending to be guarding the castle.
“I have an idea!” exclaimed Sarai. “We’ll grab one of those girls and knock her out then take her clothes and make up and sneak in.”
“One problem, Sarai.” Said Yo.
“What’s that?”
“We aren’t girls.”
“Oh. That’s okay, you are effeminate enough that you’ll be able to pull it off. Hurry, we don’t have much time, God only knows what Twink is doing to her in there.”
The sand was slipping through faster and faster, Pomme began to really worry that no one was going to rescue her. The shoes were even more tempting to try to take off, but she couldn’t seem to figure out a way, it was as if they were a part of her DNA.
“Well, this sucks. At least I won’t have to be buried in these things, that’s something to be happy about at least.” She mumbled.
Finally a fan-girl came too close to the group and they knocked her out taking her make-up and clothes. Dressing themselves up, they snuck into the castle.
“Which way Sarai?” asked Yo.
“This way!” Sarai ran up some spiral stairs, swirling higher and higher into the castle until they came to a big wooden door.
“Pomegranate are you in there?” asked Miyavi, knocking on the door.
“Yes! I’m here, oh hurry, the hourglass is almost empty and she wants to freaking cook me!”
Using their brute strength, the boys and Sarai knocked down the door, then grabbing Pomme’s hand began to run back down the spiral stairs. Unfortunately, at the bottom was Twink and an entire army of fan-girls waiting.
“I can’t believe you thought it would be that easy!” cried Twink, laughing a horrible laugh.
“Well, I don’t either, considering how freaking hard this entire thing has been so far.” Replied Sarai.
“Shut up, Smart Ass.” Snapped Twink, her dull eyes flaring for one second. “Now you all will die. Slowly. I won’t have to worry about food for months, you will all do just fine.”
Thinking on her feet, Pomegranate spied a bucket of what looked like a thick white cheese. Quickly she picked it up and hurled the stuff onto Twink.
“Ah!” screamed Twink, steam rising off of her. “What the hell?! What have you done? Is this… It is! You threw TOFU on me! NO! My one weakness! What a beautiful world, all that wickedness and you had to destroy it with Tofu. How could a good little girl like you do such a thing.”
The steam continued to rise off of Twink until all that was left was her horrible clothing, the “Meat is Murder” button and the stench of Herpes. With that, the Wicked Bitch of the West died.
“Quick,” cried Sarai. “Grab the button and let’s get the hell out of here! The fan-girls don’t seem too happy!”
Quickly Gackt grabbed the button and grabbed Pomme’s hand, dragging her toward the exit. They fled from the castle and somehow managed to lose the fan-girls in the mix.
Exhausted and happy, the group arrived back at the Wizard’s castle where a slightly bored Trent led them to the throne room to speak with the Wizard.

J-Rock Wizard of Oz (Chapter Eleven)
Current mood: Artistic
Chapter Eleven: Finding the Wicked Bitch of the West
After they had helped Trent feed the exotic animals, and Sarai almost got eaten by the lesbian tiger (and not in a good way mind you), Trent kept his promise and gave them food and a place to sleep. The next morning, he gave them a good meal and a map to the Bitch’s castle. Wishing them good luck he gently shoved them out the door and into the Forest of Screeching Fan-girls.
“How far does the map say the castle is from here?” whispered Pomme, clinging to Gackt’s arm.
“Um, a long ways. Dude, I don’t even friggin’ know how to read a map!” exclaimed Sarai, shoving the map at Yo.
“It says we are about 15 miles from the castle. That’s not far.”
“Oh my god, my feet are going to fall off, I swear.” Cried Pomme.
“Do you suppose the fan-girls will come out and devour our souls?” asked Miyavi, shaking a little as he aimed his shovel.
“Fan-girls don’t eat souls, silly. They’ll just kiss you until you die of dehydration. It’s a bit messy though. Dehydration that is, kissing is nice.” Replied Sarai, pushing the shovel back down to Miyavi’s side.
“They are right where I want them.” Whispered Twink to Hiroto. She looked again into the crystal triangle, then pressed her “Meat is Murder” button.
Immediately a horde of flying platypi filled the sky, robotic arms affixed to their bodies so that they could grasp and carry things. Hiroto prepared his miniature flying contraption and awaited his orders.
“Bring me the girls, do what you like with the others, but make sure the girls are brought to me alive. I need them alive so I can get the shoes off intact. Now fly, FLY!”
With a loud woosh, the horde of platypi took off, following the lead of their leader, Hiroto the flying chipmunk.
Meanwhile, the group had stopped for a break, snacking on some of the food Trent had packed for them. The sky above them began to darken as it filled with screaming platypi.
“Oh shit, not again!” screamed Pomme.
“Save Pomme, she has the shoes!” cried Sarai, pushing Gackt and Yo toward Pomme and grabbing Miyavi’s shovel. She began to swing the shovel back and forth so as to hit the platypi, but was quickly overwhelmed and swept up by big robotic arms.
“Sarai!” screamed Pomme, trying to escape the guys’ arms to try and rescue her friend.
Quickly the swarm was upon them, clawing and tearing the men off of Pomme and dragging her up into the sky. Just as quickly hordes of screaming fan-girls came rushing out of the forest to help the platypi, dragging the men to their nests buried deep in the darkness.
“No!” cried Pomme. “Guys! Oh god, I’m afraid of heights! Oh god, oh god!” And with that, she was swept away with Sarai to the Wicked Bitch’s Castle.
Once they arrived at the castle they were immediately taken into custody by the Bitch’s loyal fan-girls. They separated Sarai and Pomme, shoving Sarai into a large wicker coffin and Pomme into a dismal dungeon.
With a flash of stupidity and sexually transmitted disease, Twink appeared to Pomme.
“So, my pretty, you want to give me those shoes now?” she said, munching on some half cooked steak.
“First of all, that is disgusting. Secondly, hell no. What have you done with my Sarai?”
“Oh, she’ll be fine, as long as you give me the shoes. If you don’t, I’ll have her and her wicker coffin thrown into the river to drown. So, what will it be? Living Sarai or Dead Sarai?”
“That’s not fair!” screamed Pomme. “You can’t kill a living being over a pair of shoes!”
“Oh, but I can! And I will if you don’t hand them over.” Twink made a signal for Sarai in her wicker coffin to be brought into the room.
“Don’t do it Pomme! Don’t give her the shoes. hide told you that they were magical, don’t take them off!” screamed Sarai, fighting against the wicker.
“But she’ll kill you!” cried Pomme, fighting back tears and the urge to rip those, now, hateful shoes off of her feet. “Take the shoes, just don’t kill my Toto!”
“I AM NOT YOUR TOTO!” screamed Sarai, tearing at the wicker with her non-existent nails.
“Good, good.” Exclaimed Twink, but as she reached for the shoes a guitar chord played causing her to be flung back in shock.
“I’m sorry!” cried Pomme. “It wasn’t my fault, I’m sorry! Please don’t hurt Sarai!”
Recovering from her shock, Twink turned to the fan-girls.
“Take her and drown her in the river.”
Just as she proclaimed Sarai’s death sentence, Sarai broke through the wicker and ran. Running with all of her might she fled the castle and found her way back to the forest of screaming fan-girls.
“Gackt? Miyavi? Yo? Anyone who isn’t a psychotic fan-girl who will tear me limb from limb?” whispered Sarai. In the darkness she heard a low moan coming from under a pile of brush.
Underneath the pile was Miyavi, one straw arm dangling helplessly at his side. A few feet away was Yo, draped over a tree branch, some blood on his face and a couple of yards from them was Gackt, tied to a tree.
“Oh my god! What did they do to you?!” cried Sarai, running to help her friends.
“Well they thought that since I was only made of straw it wouldn’t hurt anything to tear me apart!” cried Miyavi, clumsily standing and trying to fix his arm.
“They decided that because I was only a lion I didn’t matter and they left me to be eaten by the flying platypi.” Said Yo, finding enough strength to remove himself from the tree’s woody embrace and stumble over to help Miyavi with his arm.
“They apparently decided that I would be a sacrifice to their goddess’ lusts and tied me here so I wouldn’t escape.” Said Gackt as Sarai began to untie him.
“Twink has Pomme and I don’t know what will happen if we don’t get there in time. We have to hurry.” And with great urgency the group took off toward Twink’s castle to rescue their beloved Pomegranate.

Meanwhile, the group had stopped for a break, snacking on some of the food Trent had packed for them. The sky above them began to darken as it filled with screaming platypi.
“Oh shit, not again!” screamed Pomme.
“Save Pomme, she has the shoes!” cried Sarai, pushing Gackt and Yo toward Pomme and grabbing Miyavi’s shovel. She began to swing the shovel back and forth so as to hit the platypi, but was quickly overwhelmed and swept up by big robotic arms.
“Sarai!” screamed Pomme, trying to escape the guys’ arms to try and rescue her friend.
Quickly the swarm was upon them, clawing and tearing the men off of Pomme and dragging her up into the sky. Just as quickly hordes of screaming fan-girls came rushing out of the forest to help the platypi, dragging the men to their nests buried deep in the darkness.
“No!” cried Pomme. “Guys! Oh god, I’m afraid of heights! Oh god, oh god!” And with that, she was swept away with Sarai to the Wicked Bitch’s Castle.
Once they arrived at the castle they were immediately taken into custody by the Bitch’s loyal fan-girls. They separated Sarai and Pomme, shoving Sarai into a large wicker coffin and Pomme into a dismal dungeon.
With a flash of stupidity and sexually transmitted disease, Twink appeared to Pomme.
“So, my pretty, you want to give me those shoes now?” she said, munching on some half cooked steak.
“First of all, that is disgusting. Secondly, hell no. What have you done with my Sarai?”
“Oh, she’ll be fine, as long as you give me the shoes. If you don’t, I’ll have her and her wicker coffin thrown into the river to drown. So, what will it be? Living Sarai or Dead Sarai?”
“That’s not fair!” screamed Pomme. “You can’t kill a living being over a pair of shoes!”
“Oh, but I can! And I will if you don’t hand them over.” Twink made a signal for Sarai in her wicker coffin to be brought into the room.
“Don’t do it Pomme! Don’t give her the shoes. hide told you that they were magical, don’t take them off!” screamed Sarai, fighting against the wicker.
“But she’ll kill you!” cried Pomme, fighting back tears and the urge to rip those, now, hateful shoes off of her feet. “Take the shoes, just don’t kill my Toto!”
“I AM NOT YOUR TOTO!” screamed Sarai, tearing at the wicker with her non-existent nails.
“Good, good.” Exclaimed Twink, but as she reached for the shoes a guitar chord played causing her to be flung back in shock.
“I’m sorry!” cried Pomme. “It wasn’t my fault, I’m sorry! Please don’t hurt Sarai!”
Recovering from her shock, Twink turned to the fan-girls.
“Take her and drown her in the river.”
Just as she proclaimed Sarai’s death sentence, Sarai broke through the wicker and ran. Running with all of her might she fled the castle and found her way back to the forest of screaming fan-girls.
“Gackt? Miyavi? Yo? Anyone who isn’t a psychotic fan-girl who will tear me limb from limb?” whispered Sarai. In the darkness she heard a low moan coming from under a pile of brush.
Underneath the pile was Miyavi, one straw arm dangling helplessly at his side. A few feet away was Yo, draped over a tree branch, some blood on his face and a couple of yards from them was Gackt, tied to a tree.
“Oh my god! What did they do to you?!” cried Sarai, running to help her friends.
“Well they thought that since I was only made of straw it wouldn’t hurt anything to tear me apart!” cried Miyavi, clumsily standing and trying to fix his arm.
“They decided that because I was only a lion I didn’t matter and they left me to be eaten by the flying platypi.” Said Yo, finding enough strength to remove himself from the tree’s woody embrace and stumble over to help Miyavi with his arm.
“They apparently decided that I would be a sacrifice to their goddess’ lusts and tied me here so I wouldn’t escape.” Said Gackt as Sarai began to untie him.
“Twink has Pomme and I don’t know what will happen if we don’t get there in time. We have to hurry.” And with great urgency the group took off toward Twink’s castle to rescue their beloved Pomegranate.
