listening to it... will definitely go buy it... hehehe! i didn't bother preordering it because there wasn't a limited edition or anything. i doubt it will sell out in a week so yeah love japanese stuff but don't like how cds cost $30+ usd... expensive... i still buy them though which is why i'm broke all the time. i bought arashi's cd last month too...
Imagine someone in america saying that a cd that costs USD$30 is expensive..
And then multiply that by 3.7 (That's the exchange rate, folks!)
I'd be mad/crazy/insane to buy that..
But then again.. I'm already mad..
Edit :
I'm predicting this thread will be abuzz with activity today..

Yep, I love the way Misty ends and Farewell begins.
And why is the first song (with lyrics, I mean) called Farewell? Farewell to what/who? Grrr, I wish I understood Japanese so that I know what he was trying to convey in the songs.

he he...belle. You keep on wishing that. Maybe he'll sense something when he looks into its eyes. He's a self-proclaimed psychic after all. Although, not sure if the ability has deserted him now that he's already so many hundred years old.
I found a bunch of translated interviews, actually but am reluctant to link them to my blog because most of them come from livejournals. Don't want the owner to become pissed and take them off the public viewing mode.

I'm not sure of the meaning of Diabolos as meant by Gackt himself but the definition is Satan is often translated into the Greek word diabolos, which most commonly is translated into English as Devil. Diabolos means the accuser, slanderer, calumniator, backbiter, enemy, one who separates.

I live in the US and I can definately say with 100% certainty that paying $30 for a CD is very expensive . I think that anywhere from $14.99 to $24.99 is reasonable. It also depends on what part of the US you're from too though .
And yes, I agree with you about today's Gackt thread buzz . _________________

cghu007 GREAT, I only had a short clip of this DK ep! At least he had a little laugh in this ep. I'm glad he isn't part of the DK-group anymore (what was he doing there, he is not part of JE?), I really like the Kinki Kids as individual characters (not there song though ), but Gakkun always used to be bored on this show except when they directly talked to him, at least that's the impression I got ... ^^ The eps where fun, but seeing Gakkun sitting there with his long face (I LOVE HONEY~) made me kinda sad...*cry*
SO THANK YOU FOR THE CLIP! YAY
Can't wait till the cd arrives in millions and millions of weeks *g*!
edit: Meireb,
cghu007 has posted a link to his new songs onpage no30! I can hardly resist not to d/l it, but I want for the cd to be shipped to me!! -> *mp3-link is evil* ^^ just kiddin' cghu007

I've only listened to the first two tracks of Diablos, but so far it's very promising. Average price here for Japan release cds is about $35.00. Pricey, but Gakkun is worth every penny. I'd gladly pay more for the limited release version with the Gackt life-like blow up doll.

Yeah, I rewinded that laughing scene a few times. He's so cute when he was trying not to laugh.
What's up with him playing the piano and partcipating in DK anyway? I don't understand that. Is it a part of a contract or something? When I first watched the DK clips I didn't realise he played for the opening song and when the guests are singing. I thought he's one of the guests as well. Until I watched the full clip. And then I was like.."What was he doing?". Can someone explain what is it about? And why is he not in DK anymore? Has his contract expired? I wonder how DK is after Gackt is not around. No one to make out-of -this-world statements anymore.
