I found the perfect program that fits my drawing+coloring style. Yay!~ *o* It's called Sai and it's just perfect. It's not super light and transparent (unlike OC), but blends just wonderfully instead of one color just going smack on top of another (unlike PS&painter. Well, painter can be ok for certain things, but it's still too hard to blend w/ the tools I like).

I started this up while my internet was being a ;alksjdf and finished it up. I was going to draw Red, but then I decided to practice spikey-ish hair because I suck at it lol.

Warning: My drawing lol.
( I resized it but I'm cutting it anyways )

Not bad Imho. I know it's kinda screwy at parts but give me a break, ok? >.> I need to try risking shading parts even darker but urg, one step at a time. Lineart's still sketchy but that's one thing I can't help.

The cool part is that Sai can save in PSD format and it can save the background as transparent too. 8D I wish I knew about this program earlier. Dx

This is a public post because I doubt that this will change anytime soon, and I figure that this is something you should know about me before friending me or w/e. I'm going to be blunt so all of you weak hearts can stay away. I'm not "bashing" him jsyk. Then again, some fans think "I don't find ooo attractive" is bashing. -- This isn't only about the recent event, but everything leading up to it.

( Blah blah blah )

If I remember anything else, I'll add it in. ;P
For now, this is my final stance until he decides to get a brain and a conscience.
I've given up on caring about him; I am ignoring his existence from the group until he proves to me with his actions that he wants to be a part of it. I don't need to spend my time being frustrated at some guy who doesn't care what we're trying to convey to him. I can enjoy the work and effort the other 5 provide for me till then. ^^
If he decides to return to his senses, I will gladly support KAT-TUN again. If he doesn't? Oh well, I can go on supporting KaT-TUN just as happily. ♡

PS. I really did try to like him. It's the whole reason I made the withrokuun comm. I thought that if I created a nice wank-free space where I didn't have to deal with certain AOs, that things could change and I could see him in a more positive light. Well, it's a little hard when the guy himself shows no signs of change (or at least change in a good way). =___=

Yaaaay, ok so

1. BtR photobook
[MF]
Remember that one pic I posted on my LJ? All the pics are that size so it's no good if you're planning to read the text unless you're good at reading smushed kanji (although there's only like... a puny couple pages of those) but otherwise decent
All the pages are in there including the cover and back blah.

2. My friend's report of the Kokuritsu Arashi con she and Lynn went to.

Went here since I happened to remember that KAT-TUN said that they'd most likely bring foreigners here for the Japanese-y feel. lol I remember useless junk

Anyway, lots of souvenirs here!
( lots of red )

Yeah, it was cool... very different from all the city places we went to lol. Definitely need to make a better list of places to visit next time. orz

Aaaaand that should be about it... unless I feel like taking a pic of all the junk I ended up buying. But the reality of how much I spent on fandom goods might make me D: LOL But I don't regret it. I only regret not having any more money to spend on MORE KAT-TUN stuff, sad huh. ;~; *starts saving up again*

I just realized that I didn't post some of my random pics. And the THSK pillars in Omotesando. Akiba, maid cafe, okonimiyaki/monjayaki, some evening/night shots...

( More photos )

I was going to post Yokohama too, but I'll do that on a separate post even if I only have a few pics. I wish I could've gone to more HitoKoi locations. =3=; Oh well, whenever I go there next time. So I looked through my pics and there'll probably 4 more posts. Asakusa, FujiTV station, Yokohama/HitoKoi, and a bit more private pics.

Continuation from Nokogiri-yama post

I really liked Umi Hotaru. *o* Much easier to get to it and come back too Imho. >.>;;

Again, I went from Ikebukuro so this is if you're staying around the Tokyo area. If you're closer to Chiba you'll probably want to go from Kisarazu.

( How to get there + pics )

Sooo... This is my 1000th post ROFL パチパチ... not. I need a life.

Anyway, like 50% of my posts are probably on these guys so I had to do something. =3= So a scribble!


Sorry, can you tell that I got reeeaaally lazy near the end? I was going to draw DBSK too, because (K)AT-TUN WAAAAAS supposed to just be small figures of 6 guys IN A ROW AT THE BOTTOM SO I'D HAVE MORE ROOM FOR THEM. ==; Rebels! Took over my whole page! LOL Soooo... At least DBSK's in there by name? >.>;; Btw, don't ask me about Jin... Idk wth he's doing either... he was just bullying Taguchi in the beginning and then... this happened. Yeah. Idek. Oh oops, I forgot to color Taguchi's hair. LOL *fail*

An actual post including ranting about a certain fandom will come tomorrow (technically later today). >.>

Spot the Johnny's at various locations in Japan lol. I just took pics as I saw them for the most part.

( Lots of pics from here and there... a ton from Shibuya lol )

I have more JE related pics but those are from CD shops + FujiTV station so I'll just post those with the others... Wow, it's already 12am. I'm totally jet-lagged LOL

Also, one request type thing: I have a friend who is wondering if anyone could help her (+ another friend) ballot for Arashi's upcoming concert. She's willing to buy stuff or whatnot for the person who can help her (or knows someone who can help) and her friend of course. So please tell me if you can or happen to know anyone! Thanks ^^

/edit/ found the Ohno pic and added one more

So this post will be public for now... we'll see if it stays that way as this is not the most fangirl-y account. The guys sing well, but that's a given at this point.

We went at around 9 to line up for goods and the line was already long. It was rather annoying and irritating and Marisa wasn't happy about the TD pamphlet after she bought it. >.>; But at least she liked the poster she bought!

Anyway, the fans were very normal looking compared to KAT-TUN's concert (and I'm sure any other JE one)... no cosplayers, a couple gothic lolita but very very few, a lot more older people... and I think this con was disorganized or SOMETHING because there was a friggin mob to get into the dome at 5~5:30pm. =____= (and the sales of the goods did not start right at 10am either) Either that or the fans just decided to mob the place... Idk because KT's con didn't have a mob on the 15th and we arrived around 1h-30min before it began too. There were a feeeew people in the subway with a sign asking for tickets today.

We got into the dome and went to our seats... Marisa was sad that the THSK fans didn't stand up to let us through to our seats while the KT fans did on the 15th for her lol.

( not much to say about each... )

I don't blame the guys, I mean, I like the ballds (and some perfs) and they're very talented, but Avex could have done SOMETHING to make things more interesting? I can only stand and watch the guys sing for so long... I ended up just staring into the crowd randomly half zoning-out through most of their ballads and some perfs because there really wasn't much to see. The red made me hungry. :< Marisa and I had to go buy ice cream + food after the concert because of all the red. Well, at least the food cheered her up a bit. >.<

It might be because Marisa and I are both rather visual people... she wants to go into graphic design, I've taken art for quite a while... so it isn't just the guys' performances we needed. The first day of BtR, as much as I love KAT-TUN, it was the stunning stage visuals and effects that really wow'ed me (the 2nd day it was the guys I spazzed at lol). When THSK's backgrounds looked like macbook screensavers according to Marisa, and some of them looked like something you would see on windows media player... it just wasn't very satisfying. I wasn't even asking for anything like BtR because I was aware of the budget (and company) differences, but I wasn't expecting this little either.

Especially because we were in the back + I don't like bothering with the binoculars (I gave them to Marisa) and I just watched the concert as a whole... yeah. If you remember, my fan report on the Btr con (6/14 one), I mainly commented about the con as a whole, not the guys. It just felt like there could be a lot more. The stage itself was very boring and unsatisfactory and small as heck. Marisa wants to hunt down the designer. LOL Well, I'm sure that Avex is happy with all the money they earned while putting in minimal anything. The Tokyo Dome con pamphlet is stapled together. pfft

But I have to say that the experience after the con was a first. LOL We ranted and ranted and felt hungry like never before. We have deemed this con as "the con that makes you hungry"~! There wasn't much after-concert excitement unlike before, but we ended up ranting and staying up late (for BtR I just came home, wrote the mini-report, then fell asleep). So at least that let us catch CDTV for once. =3= Then we ranted some more before going to sleep.

I think that this con would've been pretty nice in an arena, but it doesn't feel fit for a dome, at all. Might as well add a couple more arena stages next time instead of a dome since now they've performed in TD and all.

Another thing was Imho, the con was rather choppy. The songlist just didn't flow very well. >.>; But maybe non-Johnny's concerts are supposed to be choppy so Idk.

Btw, this can't be just because I've become a ridiculously huge KAT-TUN fan during my stay in Japan, because Marisa's a ridiculously huge DBSK/Su fan. =3= I think she spazzed more at seeing them on TV after the concert than in the concert itself now that I think about it. LOL

/edit/ I forgot, two people (?) from Zoom-In were there... they were reflected during Ktbs quite a few times and they had uchiwa that said Zoom In lol... I thoooought I saw another one with "shite" after it but I'm not sure since the screen was small. =.=

I'M BACK FROM KAT-TUN'S LAST DAY OF TOKYO DOME. AS;FJKASLFD

I DON'T THINK THAT I CAN DO A PROPER REPORT ATM. AHAHAHA EVERYTHING'S A JUMBLE IN MY HEAD, I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED AT WHAT SONG. 8D;;;

KAME'S ;SKLJFA;SFJK
UEDA'S SMILE IS SOOOO CUTE
MARU'S SOOOO ".____." FACE
JIN'S SO... I'M NOT QUITE SURE ACTUALLY. BUT HE DROVE FANS CRAZY TODAY LOL
TAGUCHI'S THE ONE I SAW CLOSEST THE MOST DURING SONGS BECAUSE HE WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE MOVING PLATFORM THING AND MY ARENA BLOCK WAS RIGHT NEXT TO IT... HE LOOKED COOL BUT HE'S THE SAME LAME DUDE LOL
KOKI'S KOKIIIII AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE KOKI

K, I'll stop with the caps now. xD But yeah, the arena seat I was in was close enough to see the guys when they were around the right side/main stage/beginning half of the walkway to the center stage... I was too short to see the center all too well though. But after ~3 years of being a fan I finally got to see them live and close enough to see their faces ;o;

Anyway, yeah, my feet hurt. I wore my wedges because I was in the arena and I'm short as heck (and good thing I did... not sure how much I would've seen without them).

I think that it was a great idea to go yesterday and see the full con properly before sitting in the arena today. I wouldn't have known 1/2 the things I saw back there if I only watched from the arena. x.o But for some weird reason I found the MC harder to understand while in the arena... or maybe my brain went on vacation ahahahaha. Well truth be told I only ate 2/3 a cheese dog + some chips today. xP Maybe I was too excited but I wasn't feeling all that hungry today... but it's kinda hitting me now. @-@ It could also be that I was too high and so everything just went in one ear and out the other...

Since I can't piece together what went where... I'm just going to post what I remember about the guys. >.> I'll try to do a proper report tomorrow so you can skip this if you want. It'll probably be repeated in my report tomorrow. xD

( My brain died as I went on with this so the amount I wrote got smaller and smaller... uhh I'll fix that during tomorrow's proper report )

This girl... woman... sitting next to me was so weird/scary though. O-o;; She looked like she was going to a prom or something, seriously. But she had a fan made Kame uchiwa but she was like ":|" for the majority of the con. By the middle of the con she was kinda shaking her penlight but seriously... O-o;;

I got to turn on my penlight for the light thingy at the end. 8D It was really pretty as usual. And this time I got to look up at the stands and see the pretty lights. :D We got a 2nd encore and some people got balloons. :< Not fair, I want a balloon.

Oki, it's 12am and I should probably sleep. ♥ you all! I don't think that I'll be able to walk much tomorrow I feel blisters forming so I'll be sure to write more when my brain functions again. xD

I ♥ KAT-TUN.
