Versailles Concert Review

Greetings Earthlings!


First of all, as I promised, I will write the review for Versailles concert!
I attended to Versailles Madrid concert, on the 4th October 2011 (holy grail european tour).


The concert was amazing! Versailles Spanish Street Team made a very good work with numbered tickets, we got the 200 - 205. Entering the venue was quite fast and easy because of this proccess. So, as a public member I thank the spanish street team for this proccess, otherwise it would be a bit rough, like in every concert when everyone tries to get in at the same time to go to the front row. The show started not much after the public entered. 
The members entered on stage, one by one, with the intro we are used to, while we sing along "WE ARE VERSAILLES"! 
Then, of course, first song was MASQUERADE. I noticed right away that the sound arrangement was a little poor, but got really emotional over seeing Versailles again, and MASQUERADE is such a perfect song to begin! Then it was ASCENDEAD MASTER which is one of my personal favourites... It kinda makes me remind Jasmine Yuu, I think we all, Versailles fans feel his presence watching the band from above... Then Kamijo talked with the audience in a good MC, I think his english has improved a lot! Then, it was time to play Judicial Noir and Thanatos followed. Then, the boys went out of stage for a bit. After a short break they came back to play Destiny - The Lovers - which almost made my cry, soberb performance and perfect song <3.
Then the band left the stage again. Afterwards Kamijo came back alone, to sing Love will be born again, was a very touching and beautiful performance. 
Then, they played Threshold and DRY ICE SCREAM followed. Then another MC, and, started playing my absolute favourite song, Libido. Loved Kamijo dancing xD
They ended the first part with Vampire and The Red Carpet Day. The band left the stage and we all yelled "Encore"!
They came back to play Remember Forever, and of course, Philia! I specially enjoyed the performances of this two songs, absolutely gorgeus! Then, they went away again, and of course, came back to play The Revenant Choir!
In my opinion, the concert was perfect dispite the poor sound quality. 
After the show, we got out of the venue to queue again, for the meet and greet. I was really nervous at the handshaking but Versailles are really sweethearts. At the end, thanks to Mayumi, the portuguese street team and the spanish roses could meet Versailles! It was really unforgetting experience... I am really happy I could finally meet! 
Sorry if my review is kinda poor, it happens I am rather sick with a flu at home, so my brain is not really functioning fully.
If someone who attented the concert have some correction to make, please feel free and tell me! 
I want to credit the awesome Spanish Street Team for I seen the setlist on their Twitter. Thank you!!


It's all by now! Thanks for reading!

New motivation! WE ARE VERSAILLES!

Greetings earthlings!


It's been several months without posting in my almost abandoned blog.
To be sincere, we have been struggling a bit here with our new life... It's been a bit difficult to get on our feet but it's all worthy.


Me and dearest Ella in the queue for the concert!

Between switching jobs, new job interviews, tours all around the city to find a new job, finally we got a very "mini" vacations! 
It was a bliss admist tough days! 
I can't explain how great, how awesome it was meeting the band! Been dreaming about this for years and finally I got to meet them, and got a marvellous big and sweet hug from Hizaki! (*w*)



Our 5 star crew! Visual Jam & Portuguese Versailles Street Team! <3


Well this will be a quite rapid post, so, it's just to express my happiness to whom wants to read it! I was really missing having a good time with my friends and an excelent concert! 


I will write a review soon enough about the awesome concert! 


I deeply thank Mayumi, Versailles and the Spanish Street Team. The spanish roses were very good professionals and were so nice! Thank you so much!! We are Versailles!


Our shoes in the airport 2 o'clock in the morning! We were so tired. Heh~

Good Will Towards Each Other?

Greetings Earthlings!


Somehow, it's a strange feeling to be back to the blogosphere again... As I referred in my last post, I was living admist a tortuous storm, that is finally over. Now that I am living in Gaia, I have been thinking about the way things happened and why. I thought, thought and thought (quoting BaRu,,) and I realized I was living in a well... A well of shades. I felt I was drowning in a cold, abandoned and dark place, and the ones who witnessed that and tried to help the most was Ella and BaRu,,. I really want to thank them, from the bottom of my heart, for they are the best friends anyone can have... Miss you guys more than ever, it's almost unbearable no to see you everyday like we used to.
Having the parents divorcing is never an easy issue, but my experience was really troublesome and sad, thanks to my father. Blaming me for the divorce and not talking to me was a really sad choice but I cannot do anything related to that, I just have to let this dwell in the past and forget.
Anyhow, the thing I will talk in today's post is what shocked me the most amongst all this changeling: The selfishness and egoistic behaviour of some people.

Once again I wonder "What's wrong with humanity?"
Where is the pure love? Good will toward each other? Where is helping without expecting nothing in return? Why must we love someone thinking about material things? We live in a disposable world, and people are slowly becoming disposable too. I am aware that money is one of the most important things in one's life, for we, unfortunatly can't live without it, if you want to live with dignity of course... But, I can't seem to agree with extremes. People seem to think now a days that money is everything, and that everything is buyable. Wrong. So wrong. Where are the values we must have as human beings? Humanity seem to have forgotten about that we are the only rational animal. Honestly, I think even a cat is becoming more rational that most people I know. I hope someday people realize that they can't eat money, for their own sakes. Sincerely, I think there is no future for us, because men kind has destroyed everything we had that was good. I am a proudly pagan, and harmony, helping each other and uniterested love are my main goals, as I try the most living by those patterns. I can say I am different from most people, what about you? 

I want to leave now all the bitterness behing, because I am starting my own healing proccess here, but I still want to thank a lot to the few people who helped me with a kind word. 
I finally feel happy, calm, and finally feel like I have a home to return to, not being unwelcomed on somebody's else place. 

What is your opinion about the evolution of men kind? 

Thank you for reading, and I want to apologize my readers for the long absence.

Dies Irae

Greetings Earthlings!

I have been away from sometime now, been extra busy and these days left in me kind of a bittersweet taste. First of all, I want to deeply thank Ella for doing my blog's newest "make-up", it's really amazing, thank you so so much!

I am really tired and fed up with the life I am taking here, between days that have been a living nightmare I find my haven with my best friends, Kiaiku, Odete, Ella and BaRu,,. Thank you guys for these amazing days you are giving me, in order to escape inner and outter chaos.

Soon, soon enough I think I will be able to break this chains and be happy again, fully happy and move on with my life. Parents divorcing is somehow complicated for children, even if we are adults... Even more when one of the parents think you are the one to blame for everything.

Yesterday was BaRu,,'s birthday, a very happy and exciting day! I hope we can celebrate together all of your birthdays!! He had two cakes and much much attention from all of us!
We had dinner together on a very cozy restaurant and went drinking in a pub, here in Setúbal, in spite of being simple, it was great time together!

I promise to my special one that I will be always with him, and support him achieving his goals and dreams... and yes, you will have you special guitar! <3 

Despite this "Dies Irae", I thank the gods I have the strenght and the love from this amazingly beautiful people that I can, thankfully call friends and family! 

In sum, I LOVE YOU GUYS! <3

Got Better Indeed!

Greetings Earthlings!

 picture: Beautiful postcard and Dahlias my dearest friend Aiko offered me!


It's been a month since my surgery, and I surely got better! I spent three days on the clinic, had a very nice room and nice nurses, but still, was a very rough time. Unable to find one suitable vein with a kind large syringe to pour the anesthesia, nurses did an horrible job trying to do that, so, in the end I ended up with several bruises on my hands, wrists and arms. A whole month after, my hands still hurt when touched.


I have to thank from the bottom of my heart to my dearest friends and family for the support. I have to thank my family for supporting all the process I was constantly in nausea on the clinic, my mother, who was with me the whole three days, I cannot ever find words to thank you enough. I also have to thank Kiaiku, Ella and Baru who visited me everyday! Last, but not least, I want to thank Aiko, Isis and Pikii for being so kind and visit me when I was home, but still really sore, and giving a cute postcard with such kind words written, and those beautiful Dahlias I love so dearly. We have no idea of how many neck muscles we move to do things as sit, lay down or get up. I had to learn how to do it without forcing my neck muscles, using my arms and legs only, it was kinda rough. In spite of what people said to me, the after surgery was really painful and difficult. I vomited all the time, barely could swallow, so, no eating for several days, nausea, neck and back hurt.


Well, but now I am almost 100% restored and I started losing some weight, which is good.
Best of all, I got my get well gift from BaRu,, the single "Yume Kagari" by Brother, so, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.


Kiaiku is doing support guitar for Karuniiru this two gigs, so, please, on Febuary 26th, saturday, please come to their gig on Revolver Bar in Cacilhas, it's a contest, and the winner will get to play in Spain! I hope to see you all there!


So, at last, the return of those who never left, Visual Jam!
We will be trowing a "jukebox" party on March 12th, Saturday, so, people, make your requests on Visual Jam facebook page, here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Visual-Jam/180652468642848

Only 19 likes? Come on people!! Also, I want to see more requests!



My Dahlias are still alive, me and my mother are taking good care of it, so it won't wither anytime soon!


My new addiction:


I love Kuroyume so much! <3

Brand new page?

Well, tomorrow I will be undergoing to surgery.

I have waited two long years for this, so I hope it will be the turn of the page of this book named "Life".



I will get my thyroid removed which is the main reason of my weight problem!


I am pretty calm today, and I have a very special token from a friend that I am sure will be my guardian!


So, wish me luck!


Oyasumi and Blessed be

I really love this song and hope to get this single as a "Get better" present xDD:

New year... New Horizons!!

Ella, Dj Khimaira and me @ Covill Bar, Almada

Greetings earthlings!


I hope everyone had great holydays! It's been more than a month I don't post here, it's really becoming a bad habbit. 


So, how was everyone's Christmas? 
Well, I can't say mine was bad, but I think it was the worse ever. This year I didn't felt the festive spirit at all and it was the first time I did not spend it with my family which makes a huge difference. I was in Porto celebrating it with the "in-laws" and got really good presents!
Got plenty of books which made me happy. I am always reading something and I am not capable of living without having a book by my side, I am quite the "bookworm"!!
About New Year's Eve it was one of the funniest!! We partied at my place, Visual Jam staff and Isis, was a blast!! They got to sleep over for two nights which was amazingly funny!!


Well, I am going to talk about year 2010!


The year 2010 was a bliss next to 2009, because we got so much more stable and sure of what we really want to do. Year 2009 best part was Japan, only. Lots of conflicts and things I do wish didn't happened, but it did, and we do not possess the hability to turn back time, so, we just have to accept and live with it. 2010 was so much more smooth, we did amazing things that we never thought we could and had the chance to meet excelent new people!


Here are the 2010 highlights:

  • Visual Jam evolved a lot since it's creation, around December 18th 2009, making a total of 5 events this year! I guess we are the first doing something like this in one year, once again, I really want to thank portuguese Visual kei fans for the support, without you, it wouldn't be possible! 
  • First Visual kei concert in Portugal, held by el-Ethnic Legist- on September 11th at Santiago Alquimista, Lisbon. The atmosphere was magical, the fans were the best public ever and the show was amazing! Thank you eveyone!
  • The appearence Kiaiku made as guest artist for el-Ethnic Legist- made me really proud of him as an artist and guitarist. He did a terrific job, beyond words!
  • Meeting Khimaira, who is a fascinating person, became one of my best friends. Thank you for the priceless moments we spent together and for your sincere support and friendship!!
  • Becoming even closer to the people that I love the most and know they are always there for me. Without them, I couldn't make it. It's being too rough, I would have sunk, but you were always my safety boat... I have no words to express my gratitude and love for you guys... United forever, as one!
  • First DJ Khimaira debut performance in Portugal. The party was a blast, we are working so the public can have more parties like that.
Wishes for 2011:

  • Keep Visual Jam rocking as hard as possible!
  • Debuting more Visual kei bands in Portugal.
  • Find some shitty job to procceed to the next step of my life.
  • Stay close to the people I love the most, strong.
  • Have a safe surgery and recover fast!
  • Lose some weight after surgery and with the right medication.
  • Write a little more, short stories and stuff, I am always underestimating myself, but I guess I should at least give it a try!
  • Do a new tattoo, my blue star.
  • Pierce my lip. (Snake bites!!)
  • Some more secretive plans, but it will be known!

So, I guess this is everything about the holidays and wishes.

We have been watching all Rocky's saga, and I found the films rather inspiring. Made me wish my fate would be just like Rocky Balboa: Fight, and go from the bottom to the top!!

Today I was told the zodiac signs would change, for there is one more sign to add, which would make every sign dates different. What do you think about that subject? 
Do you believe in astrology?

Finally, my new year's wish for you all:

May the gods be with you and guide everyone to a safe and successful path!
