who do you turn to when there's no one left

"Its weird though, that we are doing X-Japan now. We never thought of doing it. When we broke up, that was it. It's.. That's very strange."
-Yoshiki

By coincidence, I found an X-Japan app for iTouch :D So awesome!
Also, the news Yoshiki mentioned turned out to be a REALLY GOOD one.
Not only are they not disbanding, they have signed a 3 year deal with EMI to release a new album!
This means they'll be around for a while more, and hopefully most likely holding concerts around US.
3 years.... I think I would be able to catch at least ONE right?

Speaking of good news, the trailer for 世界一初恋 is out! Or has been for a while, I don't know, I haven't been keeping up to date.
News is that the anime will be out in April 2011, and while I am happy, I am also surprised it is still going on, in light of the new law on banning anime and manga deemed harmful to youths, aka materials containing/depicting sexual acts. And especially considering one of the guys supporting this new ban happens to be an anti-gay.
The thing is, I think its really stupid.
Because you can't undo what everyone already knows.
Just because they don't read about it, doesn't mean people don't know about homosexuals and all that.
And all this has been around for so many years (its already a culture of Japan), I don't know why he's only trying to put a stop to it now.
Who here doesn't relate unproportionately-chested girls with skimpy outfits to Japanese comics?
I've been reading Doraemon since I was.. I don't know.. 7 or 8, and Nobita goes through the どこでもドア (Go-anywhere door?) every time to peek at Suzuki when she's bathing. Isn't that counted as sexual harassment or something? I would like to see them ban Doraemon.
My opinion is, you don't put out a fire only AFTER it has burned everything down.
Because it doesn't change a thing.
