Diaries of Vengance II
By my doing Japan is under the shadow of the Serpent King! And what could not be crushed in his wake? He has even awakened my ancestry Essence and now my skills have gone were I've onbly imagined they would go and still I can hardly look at him in the eye... such power... such a terrible figure... Soon the land will be no more! And when the body of poor Xiaoyi collapses, and collapse it will!, I'll be moving on to claim the prize Da Ji should have had.
I have let go of my former name and taken the name of my ancestor, soon China will fear the name Da Ji once more.

Time for you to meet.....
Anthem (アンセム) were one of a handful of Japanese Heavy Metal band formed in 1980 in Tokyo, they were called "The Tokyo Metal Machine". Their music is very similar in style to countrymen Loudness and Earthshaker. Disbanded since 1992, the group reformed in 2000 and released the album Heavy Metal Anthem, a reworking of some older Anthem tunes now featuring noted vocalist Graham Bonnet. Since then, original vocalist Eizo Sakamoto (who hadn't sung with the band since 1987 because he started up the band Animetal which performed heavy metal covers of anime and tokusatsu (science fiction shows like Ultraman) opening and closing themes. He also was involved with the anison "supergroup" JAM Project before reuniting with Anthem) has returned to the group.
Present members:
- vocals - Eizo Sakamoto
- electric guitar - Akio Shimizu
- leader/bass guitar - Naoto Shibata
- drums - Hirotsugu Homma

Words from The Lightings
Although I stand firm in saying that my clan is the best suited, I know that it must not happen, for we have a great flaw: pride and arrogance. That pride would lead to opression and that arrogance would lead to war. I want the Yasuki lands for my clan no less than any of my clanmates, they are ours by right, but I don't want to see the Imperial Army marching there once the Crab refuse to hand them over
-I know how you feel old friend, nothing would please me more than one own in the throne... but it's unlikely to happen. People don't trust us, and it's our fault; how does my daimyo deals with one that has angered him? He makes him disapear... I don't mean "he kills him", dying, I think, would be a much more desirable fate. Belive me when I say that I don't want to be the one to make the Emperor disapear... my blood brother's fate stills haunts my sleep.
-The Emperor should and must rule with honor! He must be flawless, and following the bushido is the way of honor and through that one can truly be flawless... that's the teacing of my clan, but I just hope it would be truth, for in our pusuit of honor we would become corrupt in our cause and quest. The Scorpion and the Mantis ways would be unaceptable in the eyes of a Emperor such as the one we would become... but regardless, the Empire needs the Scorpion and the Mantis.
-I know many good people in all of our clans, people that rule marvelously within the little realms they are given and call "home", but power corrupts, and what is worse: there are those that would seek those in power to corrupt them... we have seen this, we all saw how the leaders of the Lotus used the hitokiri Shigeru as a puppet and almost unleashed a power too great for them to control. Yes power corrupts and if my clan ruled the study of elements would be top priority and the land would be left to be forgotten; eventually we would turn to the blood, in search for more knowledge.
-Our insight would fade from us, why? Because we would try to spread that insight... Our monasteries would fill the land and monks would be everywhere. We cannot, we must not, make our lands an example of spiritual rightgeousness nor an example of what the world should live and think like... that would not be "protecting"...
-By our constant war are your lands kept safe from the shadows. We have the right to rule for it is us who keep this Empire free of taint... but war is what we know and war is what we would give to the land. War against the Crane for taking the lands of the Yasuki; war against the Shadowland, something that would leave the Empire bankrupt and wasted; war against the Unicorn for dealing with the gaijin and war to the gaijin should they ever dare show their face arround here. We are warriors, not rulers.
The last of the Lightnings fell on the battle of the Naga Spirits, he dances with the fortunes as I write, but he would have said something like this:
-We are not interested in ruling although we'll do it if we must. I'd just hope our flaw wouldn't cast it's shadow on the land... our free spirits would leave or desert the Empire... and that's my fear.

Do you know what would be rude...?
Say that I go to Miami and stay there for 2 weeks, but I don't tell my cousin Mari that I was in Miami. Or that I go to Spain and not tell Sylvia about it... that would be rude, so rude that in some cultures it could be clasified as low.
Anyway, I'm just saying this to give somepeople something to think about... B-bye!

Diaries of Ignorance
I've been here for like, what?, a month and a half?! I've seen so much in theese past few weeks, it's awesome, although Da Qui seems to be bothered by the fact that "we are taking too long"... She is constanly reminding me that we must reach Tokyo, that she has a "surprise" for me... but the land of the Samurai is beutifull and I want to see it all... unlike her, she is what you'd call a "stereotypical chinese", she hates Japan, it's people and it's history. Now that I think about it, I don't know why she agreed on comming with me =S
Anyway, we'll be in Tokyo by the end of this week, or maybe we'll stay the weekend here I don't know; maybe I'm being selfish and I'm not thinking about her, but it would be easier if I knew what kind of surprise expect us in Tokyo...
I just know I'm gonna love visiting the temples and the duel academies and all that... just the thought of the Great Lu Bu, or Cao Pi fighting the likes of Oda Nobunaga or Miyamoto Musashi... it's delightfull...
.... Da Qui's complainig suddenly changed my mood... I don't wanna write anymore... at least not for now.

No estoy conforme
No estoy conforme.
Para comenzar yo aun no me la creo, espere como media hora para despertar a mi mama, quien se habia acostado como a las 11, por que en verdad no lo creo aun... no puede ser tan facil.
No estoy conforme.
Por que? porque ese hombre aun esta libre y, ademas, de presidente. Mucha gente ha ido a la carcel de por vida por crimenes mas leves. Me cale TODO el proceso, desde que comenzaron con que iban a reformar la constitucion... y saben que? Esto no hubiese sido necesario si hubiesemos ganados hace un año... yo SE que ganamos, lo se. Que por cierto Hugo, eres tan absurdo y te rodeas de gente tan incompetetnte que te hiciste una constitucion PARA TI SOLITO cuando comenzaste a gobernar y ya la quieres cambiar.
No estoy conforme.
De verdad no creo que hayamos ganado con un 1% de diferencia. No puede ser que haya un 44% de abtencion. No puede ser que a mi papa lo hayan sacado convenientemente del registro electoral hace un par de dias.
No estoy conforme
Porque he votado, firmado, vuelto a votar y des todas las veces (4 o 5, no recuerdo bien) solo han hecho valer mi voto ESTA vez.
Ahora le gente empezara a beber creyendo que ganamos... que tal si les dicen mañana que van a hacer un proceso mas decisivo que el de la reforma constitucional y en ese si nos meten el huevo; y cuando digamos "Hubo trampa" ellos diran "Aqui las elecciones son transparentes! Las pasadas las gano la oposicion".
Quizas este hablando de mas debido al sueño que estoy aguantando desde las 9pm del dia Domingo, pero creo que un post mas sincero que este no sera facil de encontrar.
Lyrics? No viejo, tengo mucho sueño.

Bleach - Masked
... Remember we where living in Hueco Mundo with the Vaizards gang and they were helping us control the hollows inside of us. Our preparation took long and in that time I learned that Hyuga Tenkai, one of my cousins was exiled to earth by the Soul Society... the training was hard but we were ready, or so the vaizards thought. The day of the testing came, Kaoru-San satayed slackign and sleeping while Mirumoto-San and I went to take the test, I forced my way into being the first one to be tested... a contention spell was cast, to hold me, and then they made me enter a trance in with I had to face my dark side; she took away my zanpakutou, I was helpless... but she forgot that I was better than that... my pride wouldn't let me fall, I held on to it and I was able to get my sword back, this time my dark side was at a disadvantage... and she fell. When I came to I found out that about 30 minutes has passed and some of the Vaizards were hurt, Incluiding Mirumoto who told me that I owe him one... go figure. There was like a 10 minute break and the Mirumoto- San was up. The same spell was cast... and he was forced into the same trance; what happened in his mind, I don't know, but he began transforming into a hollow... firts it was just the mask, then the body began turning non-hummanoid... he grew legs, and his face was difigured. One by one the Vaizards fought against him, i also fought (using my new-found powers of course)... now I knew what he meant by "you owe me one" but lets just say that we are even now. As the time passed he became more mounstrous but suddenly, he exploded in a ball of raiatsu, and he was himself again. He managed to it quicker than me.
When we were resting Kaoru showed up.... she took the test, but she failed. I was taken away as our leader said that she should be killed. I mourned her for days, and kept her necklace as a memento.
Days went by and we had to do our chores... Mirumoto-San and I were sent to earth to pick up some things: hair gel, hentai manga, guitar strings... you know, stuff for our gang members. I told Mirumoto "... we should split so we finish quicker; I'll meet you here within an hour...". I got there and waited but he was super late so I left... when I got "home" everything was desolate and suddenly, out of nowhere a cero almost hit me! One of the Vaizards shove me away and that saved me... an army of hollows were attacking us... we manage to defend ourselves for a while, but there was no winning this finally I lost conscience and when I came too I was laying in some rudimentary bed mede with sheets on the floor and some old lady was taking care of me.
She told me her name was Akane, she healed me (it took like 2 weeks) and in that time we talked a lot; she was a Shinigami that had exiled herself from Soul Society very long ago, now she lived in the mountains of India... I told her of my goals, and she agreed to train me so I could get what I had sought ever since I saw Kucichi Byakuya for the first time... Ban Kai. For 400 years I lived with Akane-Sensei and I never saw her Ban Kai nor knew her last name, the only thing I knew about her Ban Kai was "As long as I held my zanpakutou, I will linger on this place" that's all she told me. With time she became like a mother, and not like my real mother too fed up with nobility to hug her child, she remind me of Kaoru's family... they were so close. Time took it's tool on her... on her last moments she talked to me and said that I was the only thing that made her happy in her exile, that being alone will kill you, that I shouln't let my pride let me end up alone... and she told me that the only thing that I was lacking to be compleate is in hell.
Before she died she told me her last name: Mirumototo (she is Genryusai's sister!!!) and to take her to a certain place once she was dead... and when I did I found her body in a cave... her hand had let go of her zanpakutou. I kept her zanpakutou sheet as a memento.
With my mind set on my goal, I met up with someone I have not seen in a long time, Hyuga Tenkai... I tracked him to the Oshu province of Japan. There I learned he had become a Vaizard himself, but he was not able to control the hollow inside of him. He was as powerfull as I was when I left Soul Society... I knew this because I tested him. In 2 days we tracked a hollow dark enough to be sent to Jigoku instead of being purified... Tankai-Chan killed him and when the doors to jigoku opened we steped in. We had to fought the usual welcome wagon, a HUGE skeleton guardian... piece of cake. We walked for a while and and then we forcefully interrogated some piece of crap devils that where hanging arround torturing souls... they told us that "the genearl would come"... "let him come I said" and he came... he tried to get rid of us using illutions; we both broke free and (since I don't know what tha fuck I am suposed to look for) told him we were looking for answers, he began fighting and said "one answer for every minute you survive"....
My Ban Kai was very usefull, I wasn't hit in the whole brawl. Not before long I got out of him that there was a shinigami trapped in Jigoku, but he died before I could get more info out of him; "why?" you ask? Because Tankai-Chan used his hollow to attack the general and lost control of it so I kept fighting him to buy him some time... I didn't wanted to kill him... I wanted to keep to what Akane-Sensei told me. Eventually he fell to the ground un-hollowized and almost spent... he wasn't able to gain control of his dark side.
Moments later we saw a warehouse, we went to it and opened it... inside was none other that Mirumoto-San!!! Aparently he's been there for 400 years!! And inside that warehouse he couldn't feel anything so he went kindda nuts... he even strangled me for a few seconds (I was about to engage him in combat actually). We were talking and were interrupted by 2 guys, one very tall and with big muscles and stuff, the other was not as strong, they were wearing some sort of armor made out of bones ... the not tall was claping saying stuff like "long time no see" and shit; I wasn't sure what he meant and he said something like "Don't you remember me? Shinigami?" and he took his helmet off... It was Tseng Pai, the quincy we have fought when we were shinigami... he had a "-3" written on his forehead... the tall one took his helmet of and he was Radetsu-San, Kaoru-San's older brother which we have killed when we couldn't control our hollows... He has a "-2" written on his fore head... they were telling us to go with them, I refused at first, but then came this woman wearing the same kind of armor and as she took her helmet of she said "You are as always... What about me Kazehime? Will you trust to follow me?"... It was Kaoru-San and she had a "-1" written on her forehead... I never let it show but I was about to crumble... and I started following her....
---The End---
We'll have to wait untill Tite Kubo finishes Bleach to play again.

Tittle: The one that will kill you...
He once was the average guy; not specificly tall, slim, no body marks, molds, scars... nothing. Theese days no one, not even him, knows what he'll look like untill it's time to go out and kill.
Those close to him say he sometimes looks punkish; with black clothes, ties, sunglases and pink dyed hair... other times he seems like a modern metal head, with leather pants, boots, a shirt with it's sleeves rolled up and shoulder lenght hair... the only feature he never changes its a tattoo on his right forearm "Chi desidera la morte finale?"
But if you manage to see through his disguise, and find fangs instead of teeth, claws instead of nails and wolf's eyes; know that it's too late for you.

Time for you to meet....
X Japan (エックス ジャパン,) is a Japanese band founded in 1982 by Deyama Toshimitsu "Toshi"and Hayashi Yoshiki. Originally named X (エックス), the group achieved its breakthrough success in 1989 with the release of their second album Blue Blood. They started out as a power/speed metal band and later gravitated towards a progressive sound, at all times retaining an emphasis on ballads. After three more albums, X Japan disbanded in 1997.
Besides being one of the first Japanese acts to achieve mainstream success while on an independent label, the group is widely credited for pioneering the visual kei movement (characterized by the use of eccentric, sometimes flamboyant looks. This usually involves striking make-up, unusual hair styles and elaborate costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics), though the group's members toned down their on-stage attire in later years save for lead guitarrist Hideto Matsumoto "hide", who died in 1998. As of 2007, the band has sold over twenty million records and over two million home videos.The band broke up in 1997. X Japan performed their farewell show at the Tokyo Dome on 31 December, making it the last of five consecutive New Year's Eve the group performed in that stadium. In 2007 the band came together again, without replacing hide, and on 2008 they gave several concerts and are on schedule for more shows outside of Japan.

That Pisses Me Off - Part XI
Now, after all this time I have come to acknowledge one thing... I don't like when people tell me that I complain a lot... so as of right now I am concluiding the "That Pisses Me Off" series. This will be it's last entry! Really no more complains from me; unless of course it's something out of the ordinary... in that case I would writte something up, but it'll have to be something reaaaaaally anoying.... like my gramma or the emo (that means only 2 posts out of 11 that I have written would get published).
There.... I don't like when people tell me that I complain too much so I'm not complaing anymore. Say goodbye to the "That Pisses Me Off" posts, althoug I don't think anyone would miss them.
Lyrics? You wouldn't get it... So I'll post a video.
Goodbye

Diaries of Vengance
People are blind, they failed to see back then, fail to see now and will forever fail to see what Da Ji really was... The only thing she ever wanted was the greatest of conquest: Japan! But she was executed before he could set her plans in motion... however her executioner forgot something... If you want to get rid of a bad weed in your garden you need to unroot it, not just cut it. Her family lived on and kept trying to acomplish the imposible, and finally after almost 3000 years I, Da Qui, will acomplish that...
That Xiaoyi boy doesn't know what's ahead of him, aparently Da Ji was right, a man would do whatever you want if you please him enough... a few more days and the serpent will be under my control; once that happens... oh this IS too good...

aodhide???
Well, it's quite simple actually; aod stans for "Archangel of Death" -my nickname on msn- and Hide was X-Japan's lead guitar! Those guys are some sort of idols for me.
But who were those guys? And why did I picked them? I know... but you don't, so I'll spell it out.
The Archangel of Death thing bagan quite stupidly actually. A few years back I changed my msn nickname from MP-Ikari to Archangel of Death... I wanted to go with Angel of Death, but Archangels are cooler and rock harder. That night a friend of mine asked me why the name, so I said the whole and compleate truth, "it sounds cool", to wich she answered "do you know that is a character from the bible?". Now, I'm not a religious person, but I looked it up on the internet... I read his story and I liked it. Here's his storyAzrael was the descendant of the high priests of Aaron. He served as a scribe for the Babylonian exile and second Temple Jerusalem period. During the early Christian period he became known as Esdras, the prophet who bears witness to the coming of the Messiah. It was this early Christian story that claimed Azrael ascended into heaven without tasting death. He was also mentioned in the Christian heretic Marcion's records concerning the "Angel of Law". He is generally depicted as an archangel under the command of God rather than in the fashion of the figure of Death personified. Depending on the outlook and precepts of various religions in which he is a figure, Azrael is portrayed as residing in the third Heaven. He has four faces and four thousand wings, and his whole body consists of eyes and tongues, the number of which corresponds to the number of people inhabiting the earth. He will be the last to die, recording and erasing constantly in a large book the names of men at birth and death, respectively. [Rf: Hastings, Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics IV, 617]
In Exodus 12:12, when God inflicts the tenth and final plague on Egypt (the death of the firstborn), it is said that Azrael was the one that actually came and took the souls of the firstborn.
I got that from Wikipedia.com; thanks guys.
So that's all with the aod thing... now comes Hide.
As you all know, my favorite band is X-Japan, and my favorite band member is Hide; who is he? Hideto Matsumoto was born in St Joseph's Hospital, Midorigaoka, Yokosuka, on December 13, 1964. He entered kindergarten in 1968, studying English for three years, followed by an enrollment in Yokosuka Tokiwa Junior High School. He was first exposed to rock and roll music at the age of fifteen, through the album Alive! by Kiss. In the same year his grandmother bought him his first electric guitar, a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. On March 11, 1980, Matsumoto graduated from Tokiwa Junior High School. He then entered Zushi Kaisei Senior High School in Zushi, Kanagawa, where he entered the school's brass band as a club activity. He quit the band soon though, because he was assigned the clarinet, while he wanted to play the trumpet. After this, he concentrated on guitar playing and in 1981, formed the independent band Saver Tiger. A year after their founding, they started playing shows at live houses in Yokosuka, such as Rock City. In April 1983 he started attending cosmetology and fashion school at the Hollywood Beauty Salon in present-day Roppongi Hills, from which he graduated with outstanding results in 1984. Later that year he took a nationwide examination and successfully obtained a beautician license. In July 1985 Saver Tiger released the self-titled EP. In November, the band contributed to the Heavy Metal Force sampler series, which would also include songs by X Japan later on. In 1986 the group changed its name to Yokosuka Saver Tiger to avoid confusion with a similarly-named band from Sapporo. Their first appearance with the new name was on the sampler Devil Must Be Driven out with Devil. They continued to perform in live houses and night clubs such as Meguro Rokumeikan, Omiya Freaks and Meguro Live Station. Hide joined X Japan (then called X) in 1987. He became the band's lead guitarist and occasional songwriter, composing songs like "Celebration", "Joker" and the single "Scars". Shortly after the release of the album Art of Life, the members of X Japan took a break, to start solo projects. Around that time, the group also dropped most of its original visual kei aesthetics, the exception being Matsumoto, who would still perform in wildly colorful outfits and with his trademark pink hair.Hideto Matsumoto died on May 2, 1998. After a night out drinking, he was found hanged with a towel tied to a doorknob in his Tokyo apartment, his death shocking the Japanese public. Three fans died in copycat suicides, of the 50,000 people who attended his funeral, nearly 60 were hospitalized and about 200 received medical treatment in first aid tents.
So there you have it. Now you know why you must type aodhide to get here.
Lyrics?
X-Japan Drain
music: hide words: hide & Toshi
Talk to my troubled brain, if yon can feel my pain,
so much hurting that's living in my head
Now I can barely breathe, and now my heart's disease
and my name and my life have been stepped on and on.
No, no you made a fool of me, there is no way out.
I'm going down the drain.
The name of God in vain, you pushed me I'm insane,
dissolution is knocking on my door.
Can't stop my bitter tears, oh take away my fears,
body and soul is blown up into pieces.
Oh cry out, I want to be free...
dry out, I want to know the truth.
Let me drain my feelings out.
Laugh like a drain.
My emotions scream.
Let me drain!
So I can speak my mind. I'm so blind,
I am left in a land with just solitude,
has this become my fate, who's next to be your bait,
vicious cycle repeating on and on...
Cry out, I want to be loved.
Dry out, I want to see dreams.
Oh cry out, I want to be free.
Dry out, I want to know the truth...
Let me drain my feelings out.
Laugh like a drain.
My emotions scream.
Let me drain my feelings out.
Laugh like a drain.
My emotions scream.
Let me drain!
