SID (シド) was formed in 2003 by Mao and Aki. The band was soon joined by Shinji and Yuya. They began as a visual kei band but Mao wanted to leave that scene as soon as possible so the band could develop their own style. In 2004, they gave some live performances. Indeed, in May 2004, the SID are selected to go to Anime Central, a popular anime convention in the United States, because of Miyavi's cancellation. They thereafter signed under the label of Sony, Danger Raw Records, producers various of Jrock and Visual bands. They released their first album in 2004, [Renai], a limited edition of 10 000 copies only. In April, the SID give two concerts of which all the places will be sold! One 3rd album is announced for November followed by a winter round. 2006 will thus be seen being the year of the concretization for the group, which completed its reconversion of the Visual style for their own style and their particular musical universe. It also should be specified that these boys compose and write absolutely all their songs (the words are written by Mao and the majority of the compositions are carried out by Aki and Shinji).

Just to update my blog and keep it away from being dead. I ate takoyaki again yesterday! Jusco's takoyaki! I wonder when will I have the chance to eat the original takoyaki in Osaka? Maybe in the year 2011? Mata ne L'Arc~en~Ciel, we must meet in the year 2011!

Oishii na! I'm going to talk about the oishii traditional Osaka food - Takoyaki-san! Anyone that hasn't try it before should try it!

Takoyaki (たこ焼き or 蛸焼?) (literally fried or baked octopus) is a popular Japanese dumpling made of batter, diced or whole baby octopus, tempura scraps (tenkasu), pickled ginger, konnyaku, and green onion, topped with okonomiyaki sauce, green laver (aonori), mayonnaise, and katsuobushi (fish shavings), originating from Osaka. There is a similarly named dish called ikayaki but it is a broiled whole squid and bears no resemblance. "Yaki" is derived from "yaku" (焼く?) which simply means "to bake or grill" in Japanese, and can be found in the names of other Japanese cuisine items such as teriyaki or sukiyaki.

The Graduation Day was held on the 23rd of October. It was fun and cheerful, everyone is busy taking pictures with friends with their cope on. Although we still have to go to school, but this Graduation Day was very meaningful. Though the teachers were kinda fussy on what we should wear that day, like the skirt must be long enough, the shoes' heel shouldn't be too short and so on~ =.=

So guys, how's the new banner? Give some comment please! *Domo arigatou!*

So what's a QR Code? We often see those little square image with black and white spots inside no matter where we are. That's a QR Code,a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994. The "QR" is derived from "Quick Response", as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. QR Codes are common in Japan, where they are currently the most popular type of two dimensional codes. It is widely used in Japan but not worldwide. These QR Codes need a decoder to decode the informations to see what's hidden inside. On the internet, there's a few nice QR Code decoder, I-Nigma is one of it. There's the website to download I-Nigma to your camera phone.
As usual, click on the title's link to know more about QR Codes. Have fun~!

L'Arc~en~Ciel (ラルク アン シエル, Raruku An Shieru, "the rainbow" in French) is a popular Japanese rock band, formed in 1991. They are one of the most popular and affluent bands in Japan. They are known for their Pop/Rock sound while they occasionally produce heavier or more experimental tracks, ranging from techno to loose ballads with full string orchestration. The group has sold over 15 million albums, 30 million singles, and millions of other units, such as videos, and have been voted #58 in HMV Japan's "Top 100 Japanese Pop Artists" of all time. L'Arc~en~Ciel continuously dominates the Oricon charts.
P'unk-en-Ciel is an alter ego of L'Arc-en-Ciel. Introduced in 2004, Hyde takes over guitar, Ken the drums, Yukihiro plays the bass, while Tetsu performs the vocals. P'unk-en-Ciel's songs have a more punk sound and their music is usually heavier and faster with a different tone due to Tetsu's vocals. Hyde wears a pirate patch over his left eye in P'unk-en-Ciel performances. Yukihiro is known to wear a gas mask; however, this has only been seen once at a live concert during their Smile tour in 2004.

Each member is called in capital letters Tetsu P'unk, Ken P'unk, Hyde P'unk and Yuki P'unk. Also, as a way to identify the songs from P'unk-en-Ciel, Yuki P'unk has to yell in every song "One, two, three four!". Each member produces one song of their choice, and they alternate their productions.
Their songs are recorded and used as B-sides on singles from 2004 and their performances can be found as extras on Live DVDs. P'unk-en-Ciel also had a television appearance with the television personality Aoki (from Music Fighter) and performed live with her at Budokan performing Round and Round 2005.
