YES.

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Alice Nine has officially become beyond cool. XD

No, seriously.

First their photos in Neo-Genesis and now. . .

Their new PV! yaaaaaaaaay :DDDDDDD

And their new song is AMAZING.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

It's a perfect mixture of their raw rock sound with pop/electric.

Did I mention yay?

YAY.

And Shou actually almost ACTED in this PV *gasp*

ahahaha I haven't forgotten their Number 6 movie XDD

Even in the magazine he's almost acting- like the picture where he looks like we're giving him a headache by looking at him.

... Which is totally possible.

I have a feeling he practiced his serious expression for months to get it right for the PV. No, I'm not kidding. O________O

Most of the time when Shou tries to look cool, he looks funny. REALLY funny. Maybe because he's older now, he's better at it? hahaha maybe all it took was turning 28. n_n

The only thing that took away from the song was Hiroto's solo- don't get me wrong- it was awesome (how could it not be? XD). But, awesome becomes a little less awesome when it's flat. DDDD:

Anyway, on another note: I saw Kanon Wakeshima perform live this weekend @ Otakon yaaaaaaay :D I was right in the front, too ^_^

She was really nervous O_O And a little off pitch. But she was still fun to watch.

I'm not as big of a fan anymore, though. . .

Maybe because she's not cool enough? :D

Gahahaa *cough*

Anyway, I found some Alice Nine cosplayers there and got a pic. They, of course, didn't really look like Saga and Hiroto, but they're costumes were spot-on! ^_^

They were super surprised that I actually recognized them ^.^

I saw Shou, later, and her (haha) costume was really good, too. She actually had the leopard pants XD

And that's all, I think. . . Oh, you should definitely check out Abington Boy's School "Desert Rose," if you haven't already. It's all in Engrish and super addicting ^_^

I'll give you a DL link because I'm cool.

... And did I mention cool?

♥

Showbiz. . . or Shoubiz? O__o

Ahahaha I just read a blog entry from 6/6 and was slightly amused.

It's recording time- which means it's time for Shou to "sing enthusiatically" (as he puts it).

 

 

あれ？君パート何だっけ？

 

Ohohoho Shou have you always had such a clever sense of humor? >___> . . .

(Or, rather, has my sense of humor always been so lame? *laughed like an idiot for 10 minutes*)

 

 

All I can say is that I'm really expecting this new single to be good.

Alice Nine's latest single releases have been nice (Rainbows & Beautiful Name)- I heard no pitch discrepancies (though Cross Game and Mirror Ball are a little suspicious).

The thing is, their songs (for the most part) are always good. However, when it comes to recording them. . . I don't know what happens.

 

When they perform live, though, any issues there were in their recording disappears.

Yeah, it's a mystery.

 

But, yes, the countdown for their new single is underway!

 

 

Apparently it's in honor of their 5 year anniversary n_n They'll also be releasing a new book! *is excited*

They are also changing the trascription of their name from アリス九號. or alice nine./alicenine. to Alice Nine. . . which is probably good, but I was particularly fond of the period at the end of their name >_<

Maybe this means they'll finally try to become more global (yes, please come to America :D).

*can't wait for the new PV*  

 

 

. . . and that's all I have to say n_n

 

 

 

 

Oh, The wonders of ACTUALLY GETTING SOME VOCAL TRAINING.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

I just listened to "夢幻 -electric eden-," by Alice Nine.

Aaaaaaaaaaah n___________________________n

I've been wanting to hear a song like this from them; nice and slow.

It's sooo pretty (^_^)

(Except the guitar was DEFINITELY off- probably a result of the amp setting they wanted to use. . . but seriously. It basically wrecked the whole song *runs from Tora fans*)

And, of course, Shou's voice just continues to get better ♥

He used to really stink and he still does sometimes oTLLL :D

I don't know what happened, but now he really has one of my favorite voices. His voice is nice and low and he sings with so much emotion. . .

いいなぁぁぁぁぁぁ. . .

The best thing about his singing is that it's even better live. ☆

Yeah. That never happens.

I could never go to a Johnny's concert because I don't live in Japan because those guys can't really sing- THEY'RE SO BAD it can't be denied.

Yet somehow they sound decent on their singles (the wonder of technology?).

Anyway, to celebrate my finding this wonderful song, here's a wallpaper I made of none other than Shou ♪

I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to notice that his voice doesn't match his face.
