ヴェルサイユ・フィルハーモニック・クインテットライヴ

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 00:34:12 +0900

Versailles Live in São Paulo + VERSAILLES MEET'N GREET!

Happened on June the 4th and it was AWESOME. What should I say...They just rock xD They so beautiful and talented, their live music sounds just like the CDs, their performance is stunning and FOR CRYING OUT LOUD THEY'RE SO PERFECT. I mean, REALLY, they're there, performing, singing,playing,HEAD-BANGING and they remain state-of-art perfect, perfect hair, peach smooth skin, intact! That really bugs me 'cause I wanna be like that too! XD Guess that's Visual-Kei Gods limited huh?XDDDD

They performed Noble and Jubilee tracks, starting off with Aristocrat's Symphony and finishing off with Revenant Choir. I particularly liked Ascendead Master and Zombie! *_* They can make any song sound better with their performance! Plus Hizaki did some pretty funny/sexy/indian/whatever dancing(LOL XD with silk sheets and all)on the beginning of Catharsis AND Kamijo kissed his cheek once ;D UHAHUAAHUAHUHAU People just died.

As to the events organization...well,it sucked. As expected from Yamato Corp.! XD The show started over 1 hour late and the VIPs(me!) did not get to enter first! They ended up opening the VIP and normal doors all at once. Maybe they did let the vip enter first, but is wasn't for long, 'cause when I got in(which was the middle of the line) the normal tickets were getting in too. Also, as expected from a Brazilian audience, the fans made a HUGE fuss and ended up making it too messy, some people couldn't really enjoy the whole thing because they were being squished! That did call out the band's attention and Kamjio stopped the performance to ask the front people to stepped back, that wasn't very nice at all. Plus, people stomped over my boots u-u. But I guess it was all worth it *_*

We weren't allowed to photograph, obviously, so there is no way to illustrate how beautiful they were XD However, this is my make-up on the day =D

~
After exausting myself off in the show, we still had the Meet'n Greet the next day! Now that was though XD I was making some presents for them, but I left to finish them at night...guess what: I slept over them XD But that's ok, I'll have other chances to do that, I suppose D:
So, we were supposed to get there at 10am, they said it would start right away. Guess what, we got in at 2pm LOL. Anyhow, the adrenaline was HUGE, people were crying and all, having a chance to be face-to-face with them was just too much! D: We went in groups of 5 and they were sitting in a long table in the sequence: Hizaki, Yuki, Kamijo, Teru. I took my official Versailles World Tour I had bought the day before for them to autograph. And we also got Versailles Fan-Meet lanyards! :D

So, first up was Hizaki. He was SO CUTE! He was wearing a purple and black Gothic Lolita dress, I could just squish him up! Unfortunately I was too nervous to say something, I ended up saying nothing before I died in front of him LOL. Next up was Yuki. He's so nice! He greated me with a great smile, as if he was really happy to see us, it felt great! Then Kamijo... WOW. He's like...He can really seduce you just by looking at ya. Perhaps it's because of the pale-blue-vampire-effect contacts, but the way he moves and talks is just how you expect of a true Visual Kei vampire xD By then I was a bit more comfortable, so I said: daisuki! And that was all, but he replied with smooth head movement, as "thank you."THEN HE POINTED OUT THE ROSES IN MY OUTFIT!!!!!It was short but still great! XD And at last but not least, Teru!! What a cute little fella!! XD Gosh, he's like a big child HUAHUAHUAUHA I wanted to hug him as much as Hizaki xD Those blue circle lenses really do the job! Oh yeah, I did shake their hands!! *_____* And got my t-shirt autographed ;D

We left the building holding up our screams and all. LOL
This is me,Akemi and Anna, in the waiting line.

Is was awesome ^u^<3

よ！о(ж＞▽＜)ｙ ☆
April 21st was the Alice in Wonderland IMAX 3D premiere in Brazil. It was great!

First off, I have to talk about the issues in the film's launch. It appears that there have been lotsof problems in bringing it over the Brazil and distributing it. The movie's national launch was re-scheduled over 4 times. The last time it was re-scheduled, the tickets had already been sold to2 days before the new premiere date. Happily, the IMAX launch date did not change ˆˆ' Which made all of us who went to the IMAX premiere quite special 'cause all the other people get to watch it only tomorrow.

The tickets, however, were sold very quickly, it started 1 week before the premiere and 2 days lates, they were already sold out. 2 days is quite a long time, comparing to popular movies like Harry Potter and such. But for a Tim Burton movie, it was the first time, which is great! Of course it was all due to the huge advertisement Disney provided for the movie worldwide, and also because Alice in Wonderland was one of the most anticipated book adaptations ever.

It is true thatBurton has become extremely popular recently, but still he hasn't reached that far, but knowing that this movie was so expected made every Tim Burton fan very happy....or not! Personally, I find it terrible for the fact that 9014f these so-called Burton fan are nothing but people who bought a fake Jack Skellington bag and watched Corpse Bride and Edward Scissorhands and so they think they are huge fans! If you haven't watched EVERY single production Tim Burton has participated and if you don't own original merchandise and DVDs AND if you don't know Tim Burton's work(and/or life), please don't call yourself a fan,really.

The people who went to the premiere did not seem that much Burton-fan like, but I'm sure they were all there to really watch the movie, and not just pretend they are movie geeks that love Burton. Unfortunately there weren't Alice cosplayers, which is always fun in movie premieres, except for one girl who wore a Alice dress but the overall cosplay was quite...disappointing, to say the least. Nevertheless, I can't say much because I did not work on a Mad Hatter cosplay, which I sort of intended to, perhaps not a Johnny Depp approach, but a sort of Visual Kei Hatter. Anyway, it didn't work out and I ended up wearing a half-Mana-sama-like hair style, a frilled shirt and striped gloves.
There wasn't a long line because the seats were marked for everyone, which is great. I got a right-side seat, which doesn't work very well in IMAX, the middle seats are the best because the screen is curved, so the side seats end up have some 3D issues, but if you keep your head straight you'll have a great experience.

The movie itself, I think, was fantastic. I absolutely loved it but maybe not all I expected. I'm not sure what was missing, but something was. Perhaps a bit more from actress Mia Wasikowska, which portrayed Alice very nicely, but she was a bit dull all movie long. The movie's adventure, and Alice's point of view, was about her finding her "muchness", which essentially is her strong personality and courage. She doest find it, and she shows it by her actions, but now by her acting. However, we have to consider she is a learning actress, she's starting her career. And starting with a Tim Burton movie is pretty awesome huh?XD
Johnny Depp's portrayal of the Hatter was... not that fresh. After watching half the movie you find yourself adoring the character, he is very charismatic. The problem, however, is the first impression. His acting was very similar to Willy Wonka with a touch of Jack Sparrow. I'm not criticizing but I believe he could have been a bit more fresh about it. It was great though, in the end of the movie, all I could think about was of the Hatter. Also, the big-eye effect on him really brings up his emotions, plus the make-up and costume color change that follow his emotions, it was all wonderful. x3

I absolutely loved the Red Queen and the White Queen. Helena was absolutely amazing, she brought up a funny, scary and loving Red Queen, and her huge head is really something you end up adoring, it is cute is a freaky way! And the White Queen is adorable and creepy. Anne played the White Queen skillfully, the character is pure, nice, cute, glamourous but weird in some sort.

A character I really love, after the Mad Hatter, is the Cheshire Cat. The movie's cat was great, he is visually stunning (in a 3D animation point of view, the fur animation and particle rendering was great) and his personality was everything you could wish for him. The problem, I think, was that he did not participate much, I wish we had more scenes with him. Just a thought.

Another point that was really fantastic was the fact that the movie is 90 77928160igital and not just about the digital characters and landscapes, but the only character that didn't receive any digital modification was the White Queen. Alice, for example, is not deformed like the Hatter, but she keeps changing sizes! The really proves the directors capability, remembering that in most of the scenes, the actors had to act sort of alone, pretending the others were there in different places because they all had different deformations and size changes. Let me explain with this pic:

The the Knave of Hearts had a digital body, the only real part is his head. The Red Queen has s head half the size it is here and Alice is half her size as well. This way, when the Knave has to look at the Queen, he had to imagine where her eyes would be and how big her head is, in order not to compromise the scene. The Queen had to look at both Alice and Knave imagining her head in a different size AND Alice has to look at the others pretending she is twice her size. All 3 of them have to be masterfully directed in order to seem as if they are really deformed and they show! It is really amazing how they all pulled it off, really. Tim deserves true claps for this.

I really recommend everyone to watch it, in 3D specially, it doesn't really have to be IMAX, but just watch it in 3D, it is a spectacular experience. If you are die-hard Lewis Carroll fan, you might end up cursing Tim's adaptation, it is nothing like anything's ever been done to the Alice series, it is a mash-up of the 2 books but in a completely new point of view, characters, places, names, events and the whole storytelling are new. You must see it as a tribute to Alice and Lewis Carroll, not a adaptation like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The story's lesson in also very new, it touches whoever watches it. It is about leaving childhood and innocence, but being able to recover it, to be a person who can see though both adult and child eyes. It is also about friendship, trust, fighting for what's right, making decisions, taking risks and it also provides a sort of revolutionary and feminist approach to Alice, when she ends up deciding that she'll not marry at that moment, but she'll follow her father's steps and be business parterns with her ex-fiancee's father.

Well... I've said enough. GO WATCH IT YOURSELF! XD IT'S WONDERFUL!

じゃね！(＝⌒▽⌒＝)

I'll just go ahead and write this post in Portuguese, 'cause it's meant for someone who was learning Portuguese x3

Se tem algo na vida que eu não gosto, são despedidas. Acho que ninguém deveria precisar dizer "adeus", no entanto ainda não temos tele-transportadores, então sim, o mundo ainda é grande demais.
A uma semana, dia 17 de março, tivemos que nos despedir de uma querida amiga, Nana, que esteve no Brasil por quase 1 ano, fazendo estágio e aprendendo a língua e a cultura Brasileira.

Posso dizer que ela aprendeu muito bem os dois, seu Português permitia que ela se comunicasse quase que normalmente com brasileiros, sendo que ela veio sem falar praticamente nada. E ao fim de sua estadia, ela era praticamente uma brasileira UHAUAHAHU Ela até aprendeu a tocar PANDEIRO! Um dos ultimos eventos com ela foi sua apresentação de pandeiro, foi muito bom! Ela provou que pandeiro não é só coisa de brasileiro! O mais incrível é que nenhum de nós nem faz idéia de como segurar um.

No dia 17 primeiro nos encontramos com ela na Liberdade, pois Piyo não poderia ir ao aeroporto mais tarde, então foi se despedir de Nana e Andréia na hora do almoço:

Mais tarde fomos(eu,Neko,Lime e Midori(osoi!! XD)) ao aeroporto:

Foi bom passar mais algumas horinhas com ela. Desde o primeiro dia com Nana, sempre aprendíamos muito um com o outro, trocavamos termos em portugues e japones e aspectos culturais que diferem das duas culturas. E até o ultimo momento, foi isso que fizemos.

Fiz este presente de despedida para ela:

E fizemos um scrapbook com fotos de sua estadia, as memória que queremos lembrar para sempre:

É muito triste dizer adeus, por isso não dissemos! Nós dissemos: Até a próxima! Logo nos veremos de novo,tenho certeza. Muito obrigado por tudo, Nana, foi muito divertido!! 。・ﾟﾟ･(≧д≦)･ﾟﾟ･｡

またね、奈奈ちゃん！！(*⌒∇⌒*)

♣Punk for Alice♠

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:48:59 +0900

Latelly, me and some of my friends have been working hard on a pretty ambitious project, it's called Punk for Alice. We're basically a Japanese Fashion group. Each of us portray different styles of Japanese fashion(mostly harajuku/shinjuku styles) and we show them via Fashion Shows and Photoshoots here in Brazil.
It took a lot of effort to come up with our first set-ups, who would be in, how we would do stuff, the name, the logo... And we did it all. Now our first Fashion Show in comming up this Sunday!! We still have some things to do, but I'm pretty positive about what's gonna happen.

And this is my initial Punk for Alice look. It's EGA(Elegant Gothic Aristocrat).

Please wish us luck! *_*

Today's already the 13th, January is going by pretty fast... It's always like this when the year starts, the best time of the year goes by incredibly fast, although I do prefer July, 'cause it's cold, January in Brazil is VERY hot, hate it xD I'm quite positive about the rest of my holidays, even though I've had some recent deceptions, but I'm hoping to get over those.

I've started the theoretical driving lessons, which is incredibly boring xD But I hope to finish them soon. (the worst part is waking up early D: ).
Plus, Anime Dreams is getting close, and so is the debut Fashion Show for Punk for Alice, our Japanese Fashion Group ˆ_ˆWe'll see how that turns out!

(＝⌒▽⌒＝)

Nothing...

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 23:21:44 +0900

Yo! It's already January 3rd and... nothing's really happened lately, 'cause I got a cold, so I've been resting lately.
I really gotta plan stuff to do with my friends, 'cause holidays always go by too fast! So I gotta hurry and enjoy it! Plus, I want to do a stop-motion short too, if I get the time. Let's see what I'll be able to accomplish. =3
See ya ˆ-ˆ
