*waves back*

*hugs*

Yeah, true. Still sometimes I think I must be crazy...I paid hundreds of Euros to see them again. And I would do it again...anytime. ^^

how much do their tickets cost ? D:

hi pou!!!!! sorry i dont go on msn anymore :x havent talked to you in a LONG time.

The tickets aren't that expensive...around 30€ per gig. But I went to Denmark (Kopenhagen) and Scandinavia (Helsinki/Stockholm) to see them again. That's what made it so expensive.

But to be honest...I don't regret it. ^^

@amber : *hugs back* i see...so you're like a jouren *-*

@shirley: hi hi!!! xD but ;-; why not online? ;-;

i miss everyone ;-;

A what?



Miss you, too!

*hugs*

@pou: T^T school has kept me away from soompi and the internet. (not really) lol
its gooood to see you pop back into the despa thread *huggles* i willl be on msn soon... keke
OT but did you hear NoGod's new single yet ? sounds great <3

@amber: ahhh, is that about 60USD?

30€ are roughly about 43 USD. Ticket prices vary a little, but they are seldomly more than 40€, and that's the really big shows.

@amber: jouren = extremely obsessive fans who go to every lives (of the band) even if they will hold in the other countries
but jouren is kinda mean >_< they can do anything to get in the front row =x so i think you're jouren-like not 100% jouren (urgh..my engrish lol) *huggles again* thanx ne~!

@shirley: lol i thought it's hw/assignments that kept you away >< *huggies* thank you for your warm welcome ne~! ttyl~
ot; of course i did *-* yeah it's sugoi!!! i think they should release their 1st full album soonnn >O< (ahh..maybe not that soon since there are too many new release albums next month （。＿゜）such as laruku, d, vidoll, alice nine. +_+)

Ah, wakatta. Never heard that term before.

But anyway...yeah...I'm maybe 50% of that. I don't mind travelling to see a band play...but getting into first row...nah, thanks but no thanks. I've had my share of kicks, punches, scratches and bites.

Ah, I was talking to Saku earlier and she finally found the shop in Osaka where you can get all kinds of rare j-rock-stuff. She found a first press of MaVERiCK...and it wasn't that expensive. I wish she could go hunting for CDs for me, too...but I'm still pretty darn broke. T_T

Does anyone know how old these sexy beasts are exactly?
I'm new to them. I just got their Mirror album yesterday at an anime convention. XD

Phew...I can't tell exactly, but if my informations are true, they are about my age. That makes them something around 30, maybe slightly younger.

And welcome to the thread. And the madness that is Despa-fandom

I thought so. lol. Thanks.

And thanks for the welcome! XD

Always glad to be helpful. *bows*

Oh, there's rumors that Despa will be back in Germany/Europe in spring, sometime around February/March. I hope it's true...because it gives me time to save up some money. Now I'm just waiting for confirmation...until now I haven't heard anything, neither from the label, nor from the band.

hey~! where's everyone gone? ;-;

*randomly posts* =P


credit to their ohp

hahaha it's been quiet in the JRock threads (cept a few)

anything new with Despa? I haven't had much time to keep with the updates lately.

hmm...they're on their japan tour...hmm...no more relearse for this year i guess ><;;

Yup, it's awfully quiet. But I agree, I don't think they will release something soon, since they'll be touring Japan still for a while.

I've been busy the last few days, I hardly found the time to go online.

T__T nooooo ;o; where're everyone gone (again)? ;o;
ahhh....they should release more cd/dvd or even a photoshoottt ;-;
*sighs* anyway, i should get my copy (dvd) in the next two weeks with no shipping cost xP since i made my friend buy it for me >=D wooohooo~!!!

^ Lucky you! Guess I'll have to wait till 2008 to get my hands on the DVD...oh well. *shrugs*

aahah yea I guess since they aren't releasing anything or doing any over seas touring there isn't much to discuss....

*waves* hi everyone =D

i hope they won't keep their special things only for their fanclub ;-; i mean like their blogs, pix or whatever >_<
anyway..

^found that in their accessories shop *-*
ahhh it's too expensive for me ;-;
*sighs*

Yup. They'll be touring Japan till December, so I don't expect any official updates till then.



Ooohhhhhh...SO cool. But expensive...whoa...roughly 120€...*sighs*

189 USD T-T why is jrock stuff so expensive???

hi pouuu! ^^

^*glomps* hi~! shirley xDDD
because they know that their fangirls will do anything for getting ones...if i weren't just spend all my money on new vidoll's, alice nine.'s, kisaki project. albums+singles, that spiral starcase dvd and a magazine, i'd definitely buy that awesome item too *-*
T_T

hiiiiii ^^

man, if its fanclub exclusive, that means those rabid fangirls pay ALOT of money to be in the FC and then spend even more money on their items. lol
im too broke for that T-T

Same here...still paying off my debt from summer...*sighs*

I'd like to be in the FC actually...even though one of my friends told me they don't do that much FC-only-stuff. But oh well...*shrugs*

I'm hoping Jess won't mind me jacking her post on LJ... XD

Announcement through their fan club:

緊急発表！
2008年2月より全米46都市にて開催される
"taste of CHAOS 2008"に参加決定！
詳細は後日発表

Urgent announcement!
The band will participate in the "taste of CHAOS 2008" tour starting in February 2008 throughout 46 United States cities!
The details will be announced later

That made my night... I just danced around my kitchen around 1am and it was dark and I ran into things. But I'm freakin' pumped, already. Originally found here, so I'm just sharing the info.

^ See? Told ya Despa would return to the states sooner or later.

Still no announcement of any european gigs...so I guess that rumor was wrong. Unless they do some concerts in Europe before taste of CHAOS in the US...but I highly doubt it.

OH CRAP!!! omgomg

niceeeeeeeeeeee!! ^__^

^Soooo...you must go, Shirley!!! xDDD

hahaha hopefully i can!! aghhhhhh

hmm, i wonder what other bands there will be.

^vidoll? xD since they're in the same label now xP omg i must suicide if it's true T_T

^I really can't see Vidoll on ToC at all. >.>

Well, I wasn't expecting another Japanese band to be added to the bill... but MUCC announced they would also be on ToC (I think just yesterday? Because it was all over LJ yesterday...) What they posted on their OHP was pretty much identical to Despa...

Taste of Chaos 2008
2008年初春全米ツアー全46公演参加決定！！
詳細後日発表！！

No tour dates yet and I don't think the American bands have been confirmed. (I think the fans are still bickering over who they think might headline)

Now, I'm only worried about jrock fans and the non-jrock fans not meshing well... We've all heard how well some Diru fans got along with others. >.> I think some jrock fans have already started massing on the ToC forum (which isn't much of anything though. XD)... some random quote from the forum that made LOL SO HARD.

QUOTE

I listened to those Japanese bands and those aren't even J Rock those are J Pop, Can't say i liked a single song of theirs on their myspaces', at least Malice Mizer is good J-Rock, this will be an interesting year with a bunch of Japanese bands to say the least.

WTF?
Despa = jpop
MUCC = jpop
but...
Malice Mizer = for serious jrock of awesome. Sorry, not a big fan here.


Well, I guess ToC will be a million times better then last year (which I went to). Hopefully no one decides to light up a joint in the middle of the pit this time. D: That wasn't appreciated.

Oh dear...MUCC as well...read about it on their myspace.

And about Despa and MUCC being j-pop...uh...no comment.

LOL. malice mizer is so oldschool~

how much were the tickets last year jenny?

yeah i cant see vidoll @ ToC either D:

hahhhahha well....Squall DOES remind me of some anime opening songs lol

but they still rock...

hmmm I want to know the tour dates!! I hope I can make it. (Feb '08 isn't bad ^^ I shouldn't be too busy whee!!)

side note: MUCC also...hmm must plan extra hard lol.

LOL thats what i thought of squall's opening too.
i told my sis what i thought the beginning of that anime would look like and she cracked up.

you're still on vacation in feb? o_o

^ no....but hopefully I wont have much to do..next semester I only have one class that matters muahahahaha


D'ESPA!!!! (i'm excited)

If you guys get the chzance...GO! Despa live is SUCH an experience!

And now for something completely different...er well not completely...I got something Despa-related for my birthday! Looksie:



I already got them awhile ago...but I'll start wearing them today

^Oooo. I want. XD

LOL! Funny you brought up Squall. My friend and I were joking they should open with that... And MUCC should open with FUZZ.

Oh gosh... I have to go dig out my ticket stubs......
And luckily it was hiding under all the Diru ones. (I bought my tickets off of someone) but it's listed at $33, which sounds right. D: I'm pretty sure everyone mentions them being around $30.


One thing I loved about ToC was that we got to take in our cameras and go picture crazy. I even filmed 75% of a band's set (30 Seconds to Mars) and it came out it surprisingly great quality. My sister loves to watch it all the time on our computer. So, hopefully they don't change that. And... (almost?) every band did a signing session last year, but I'm not familiar enough with ToC to say count on it. And you had to buy merch in a limited amount of time. Anyway, I'm getting way ahead of myself. XD There hasn't even been a list of tour dates yet.

I'm wearing the Hizumi-button right now...Karyu's is my fav...I decided to make that my motto: Going my way.

I really wish I could be in JP for .. .their..
09 09 09 concert.
hahahaha. 10 year anniversary. DDDDD: !!

Now THAT would be awesome. Though I already want to try to be there for their 9th anniversary next year.

Aaaargh...now I start missing the guys again...

CREDIT TO JAMES<3
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KARYUUUUUUUUU xDDDDD
*pokes amber*

^I got it few days ago *-* FINALLYYYY haha

Ehehehehehehe...I would have almost missed it! I was busy the entire day...but in the end I found the time to drop himat least an e-mail.

I mean...it's not that I didn't think about him today...

sigh i just read that, i kinda half freaked out that these venues are no where near NYC

Vancouver! *sighs* I could stay at my cousin's place if I wanted...but I don't think I can manage to gather enough money for a plane ticket in time...not if I want to go to Japan next september.

There have been lots of "tentative" dates thrown out for TOC, nothing official...

Now this? That's official, as far as I know. Official site (linked from official myspace... or vice versa really).

That kinda killed all my happy vibes. I'll be so super pissed if, every year of the tour before they've stopped in Houston, but the one year I'll really want to go they won't stop here. Especially if we're passed up for OK.
That was kinda mean, so sorry to anyone from OK.
