feeling: sleepy
listening to: I Wanna Be the Fangame BGM
Just so the entire month of July doesn't slip by without a post here... also because I've been dozing off in my seat for like 3 hours now and I could use something to wake me up...
So um, yeah... the things I ranted about last time on the Pigg front have pretty much calmed down. It's been pretty darn boring for the past month or so, in fact. I don't see the SA guys online much at all anymore, perhaps because the legions of fangirls stalking them all the time scared them off. Last time I saw Hiroshi in his room, late June I think, about 10 other fans were in there... >_x I have had a couple of amusing interactions with Zig (former Luzmelt bassist) though, haha. He's such a weirdo.
I still log on every day though, just for the other stuff it has to offer... daily scratch card freebies, daily amassing of sometimes-spendable currency, talking with Reiko <3... and of course, the fishing game. God, so addicting. >_> And yeah, there is always the vague hope and possibility of talking with the guys again every now and then.
Speaking of Kiwamu's bands... last week I received the extremely sad news that LIX. is losing three of its members as of September. Yuu will be the only one left. ;_; Nothing has been said about LIX. ceasing activities or where the other members will go from there, but an official announcement is yet to come... they've only talked about it on their blogs so far, and assured people that it's not because of bad blood or anything. I was so upset by that news, though. That band had INCREDIBLE talent and potential... and I was so excited to bring them to the US someday. (And not only because the vocalist is/was freaking beautiful. shut up. >>;;) Besides, I know Yuu was so excited about this band. From back when he first told me and the other US staff about it, before he even knew what the band name would be, to just a few weeks before the announcement when he told me in a Pigg convo how great a band he'd managed to pull together... and now he's all that's left of it. I do hope he'll find new members and make the band successful again, but at the same time I know it won't be the same... they were so absolutely amazing as they were...
*sigh* Now Re:vive is stuck in my head again... that song always did sound heartbreaking to me, and now it's gonna be even worse u_u
Anyway, happier band news. I found out the other day that another of Kiwamu's newer Starwave bands, The Sound Bee HD, will be coming to Nekocon this November, and it looks like I'll be going with Tainted Reality to help them out. (I don't think it's been officially announced yet, so shh!) I'm not as enraptured by them as I have been by Suicide Ali, Luzmelt, and LIX., but they did grab my interest and they seem like a band I could get into. So I'm pretty excited to meet them and find out what they're like... but also pretty nervous since I have no idea what to expect. There's also the fact that none of the usual staff I'm used to from SA tours will be there, and I don't know what other TR staff Roger is bringing, or if the band is bringing any staff... surely Kiwamu will send Miwa at least, but who knows...
Yeah, I've been thinking, though, about whether it would be a good idea or not to try and bring Suicide Ali to Ohayocon. >>; I never really had ties with their staff or anything, so I don't know what kind of setup they'd have to offer in the way of concert stuff... and I haven't been there in a couple years so I don't know how things have been there most recently. I know it's gotten to be a pretty big con in terms of attendance, like three times as big as Nekocon and Tekkoshocon... but I dunno... And yeah, there's also the fact that SA has already had two of their three US appearances on the east coast, so some other parts of the nation deserve to see them next time. Also, if they come to Ohayocon they'll probably freeze their skinny little butts off. >_>
So it'd be fun to bring them onto my home turf, so to speak... but yeah, oh well. Haha. If Roger ever decides to try and book them there, though, I'll be all over it. :P
Anyway, I guess we're taking my nephew to the zoo tomorrow, so I might as well get to bed a bit early...
