There will be no Christmas post as I planned. I’d like my infrequent posts to not be based around only holidays. To be honest, Christmas is over and there isn’t much to say about it other than it was ridiculously busy, I’m now very tired from so much work and this year’s holiday season was a small disappointment. I think I put in more effort than I got back from everyone. Normally I’d be ok with it but… I feel like I could have used a pick me up amongst the chaos recently. Seattle is indeed depressing this winter and not because of it’s weather. If my feelings were a color it would be a slate blue, not yet colorless but still rather dull. I’m still looking forward to a new year though. I understand the beginning will be difficult at first but I’m feeling very optimistic about the future for once. I don’t think typing this out can really express the sincerity in what I’m saying. I look forward to the day it’ll feel safe to express my hopeful plans and opportunities. For now it’s still a while off and I have plenty of other things to focus on. I hope I change a brighter color.

So I’ll make this a very uneventful post and write about something stupid! I haven’t done that in a while, huh? On to the randomness!

Kai and I discovered this crazy, stupid, screwed up band a while back called “MY DRAGON – Nijigen Complex” (Nijigen meaning like two dimensional). Like many things from Japan, it leaves you scratching your head saying “… WTF did I just watch?! What was going on!!!”. But seriously, I love this band. It makes me laugh so much every time I watch PV or Lives. I just can’t believe this exsists, furthermore, I can’t understand why the hell they’re so popular! They sold out effen Shibuya O-East! How?! Why?!
Upon further inspection we found another band kept popping up under youtube related videos. A seemingly completely unrelated band called 己龍 (kiryuu) with a heavy traditional VK style… Only once we actually clicked one of the videos we realized there was an odd similarity going on…

For the sake of making a proper comparison here’s their PV:

Ok, hope you had fun with that. Now here’s a PV by 己龍.

Notice anything? Yeah.. the guitarist and Bassist look kinda familiar… Well, that’s because it’s the exact same band. Yeah… and the amazing girly pretty vocalist of 己龍 is the same bearded bee costume clad, phallic faucet crazy dancing lead singer in MY DRAGON. HOW?! HOW DOES SUCH A PRETTY MAN TURN INTO THAT?! I was completely mind fucked. Apparently MY DRAGON is like an alter-ego of the band 己龍. Even then, if it weren’t obvious enough, 己龍 actually translates to “My Dragon”. Fuck.

Thank you Japan. Thank you for completely screwing with my mind with your crazy screwed up ways. I have not yet seen all of your potential but that makes me really happy. I look forward to more mind fucking in the future.

Sincerely, Me.
