You bet we are. ^^

Sleep well! *huggles*

hey ppl.. I haven't been here for a long time., and now it's kinda late for a live report from the ruisrock festival..

but..

here's the setlist: (if I noted it down right)

DAMNED intro
Angeldust
MIRROR
TRICKSTƏR
Desert
SIXty∞NINe
Closer to ideal
Screen
Squall
Garnet
between here Hizumi made us clap our hands in rhytm and then asked us "what's our name" and ppl were clapping for like a minute until they realized 8wqhen me and my friend screamed so loud it hurt) that we were supposed to shout "D'espairsRay, D'espairsRay" like in eg the LIQUIDIZE dvd.. stupid ppl ._.
HOLLOW
Kaleidoscope

there weren't many fans present.. but the show was good and despa's always lovely to see..

I bring you something else too:

http://www.jmusiceuropa.com/uk/article.php?id=2643

read it! For my sake <3

I read it...and now I'm envious. ^^ Zero seemed really relaxed in this interview...it amazes me. And Tsu! He's just too cute!

I liked what they said about the hugging. In a way it's the same Hirosuke told me when I interviewed BALZAC. He also talked about the language-barrier and how european fand communicate with their body instead.

*sighs*

I really hope I'll have the chance to talk to them again.

*hugs Kat*

Cool interview.....haha ANIMAL MANIA

And I wonder what Tsukasa's japanese spice was lol

Tsukasa was answering in English sometimes.. but i only understood the japanese spice part.. otherwise I was just like "o.O" his engrish is so strong it's difficult to understand.. but he seemed to understand me fine, zero didn't

and zero actually asked me to say in the interview that he's usually not this talkative and that he was feeling hyper

and they started fighting in the interview I was so confused, but actually they were half joking half fighting and laughing all the way It was so funny and interesting to watch

^ Awwwww, that sounds so awesome! *sigh* I wish I'd been there.

*giggles* Zero was hyper? I can SO imagine...

gahhhhhh.
ANIMAL MANIA i've atcually never heard of their alter ego band.
they sounded so adorable XD

Uh...no one here? *dusts off thread*

Anyway...I just have a question. Saku (my best friend) will be in Japan starting early September. She'd love to see some concerts there and it seems the presale for Despa's shows has already started. So...does anybody know if there's a way to order tickets from outside Japan?

omg I totally neglected the D'espa thread!
Just the other day I was talking to my concert buddy about how much I want to see them again lol.

But anyways....wow that DVD....I want it lol....is it still available to order? I might get it to help pass the boredom and stress when I get back to college

^ lol your friends are awesome! you should introduce them to me!! lol j/k

but yea I wish one day to meet D'espa and have them sign something....anything...even a napkin will do lol
(I will keep my fangirling to a minimum....I didn't even go crazy when I shook Die and Toshiya's hand at the FVT meet and greet)


some pics for the heck of it....it's been a while

^OT; =OOOOOOOOOOmgyoudidshakehandwithtoshiyasamaaaaaa*faints*luckyyouuuuuuuxDDD
xDD
*-* tempted pictures
thank you~! lol

Hai, hontou. Saku has the same autograph-card hanging framed on her wall. It's one of the items she will take with her to Japan. Oh...and you're welcome. ^^



*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighs* The package Marius from Gan-Shin promised me never came...but oh well. I'm happy (actually more than that) with the stuff I have. I know some people would kill me for my 4 full sets of Despa autographs and the extra autographs of Zero and Karyu in my photobook.



*nods* I know what you mean. I met Despa 3 times now and they are just SO nice...*sighs* And at Tuska they signed almost everything as long as it was one item. ^^

About the fangirling...same here. I might be almost freaking out on the inside, but the most you see is a goofy grin and a slightly shaking hand.





...

I think I just died.

hehehe yea those pics...Hizumi shirtless...he's always shirtless but still...it gets me everytime lol

*giggles* Yeah. I never get tired of looking at him, although he's not my number one. ^^

Yeah...her fantasy is going rampant over that Karyu-pic

Oh shut up.

hizumi shirtless.

^___________^


@pou: i start school tmmrw T__T boohoo.

Revive!!

though they're old pics








^hahaha




^ Tsukasa!! <3


^for Amber


^hahah old school....man I see....Hizumi, Miyavi, Ruki, Mako! *shiver Daigo shiver*



man I need some new D'espa pics....

*siiiiiiiiigh*



Oh, that seems to be a pic from BeautyFool's Fest! Front row to the left is Gara. ^^

And about new Despa pics...yeah, me too! Too bad Saku isn't allowed to take pics at the japanese shows...*sighs* she said the anniversary-show was awesome!

Thought of Amber lol




from JaME

...

OMG...you KILLED her!!!!!

^ hahahha I knew you'd like that Amber

lol, that is one hot picture of karyu.

hahah Karyu just likes playing on the floor

^ And he looks GOOD doing it!

Couldn't reply yesterday...I had a friend over and the hair full of dye. ^^

Speaking of dye...Saku told me Karyu has red hair now.

*looks at clock* Eeeeek gotta run. See y'all later!

*waves*

Wow, I haven't posted in here in for like... ever. XD

Hanyways, I was looking for some newer pictures of Ruiza for a graphic I was making in Photoshop... and I found this small photoshoot thing he did with Karyu, and I thought Karyu looked really cool in them, (and Ruiza too, LOL. Lurv that guy) XD. So I thought I'd share. Hopefully they haven't been posted. @____@







I think it'd be really cool to know what they thought of having to play each other's guitars. XD
Ah well. Like I said, I thought Karyu looked really nice and thought to post. Hahaha.
Random, but Ruiza seems to get picked to do shoots with other guitarists a lot. I've seen him do articles and shoots like this with at least four other guitarist in magazines other than MAD TEA PARTY MAGAZINE (which is D's own magazine, so that wouldn't really count, XD)

And now I've switched from listening to D to listening to D'espairs Ray for the night. =P

^ thanks Britt for the post! Where have you been?!? lol

Karyu has such pretty hair.......

yeah really, where did you go britt?

karyu does have pretty hair. i kinda hate my hair now T__T

OT: ruiza is so pretty O:

@Britt: Thanks for those! They both look really good in that shoot.

A friend of mine is in Japan now and some days ago she sent me a pic.



May I introduce: Ryuutaru

Karyu's cat. He posted that pic in his blog.

lol, why is it that jrockers often own cats or small little dogs?

Lately I've either been at school, at work, or passed out in my bed. XD
LOL! Karyu has nice hair, yes~~ And Ruiza is gorgeous. <3
I wanna make a set with those pics now. Wish I had time. T____T


KITTY!
LOL. That looks like a big kitty. Either that or mine are extremely tiny o____o
And his is black. I like Black Cats~ Hahaha.
I like cats. Well, nice ones anyways, some of them can be horribly mean. =[

): my bestbud's cat Bob scratched me.
i'm kinda scared of cats. lol

random picture

i think this is a pic of from one of their perfs in Europe?
zero has such nice features<3

^ Glancing at the picture just real quick for a second, I thought that was Toshiya. XD
Dude, for serious, I LOVE Zero's hair. <3 It's so nice.

Ah! I hate getting scratched by cat's. =___= Mine are pretty good about not doing it, if they do it's an accident. My one cat, Oliver, I've never been scratched by him. I think it's because he pretty much doesn't move. lol

ladyyehse: hahaa, that's my pic! it's taken from ruisrock from turku, finland, this summer

^ ohcrap really? i'll give you credit then. lol sorrybout that.

@britt: yeah, it clung on me T__T it hurt so much. if i had a cat, i'd snip its nails off D: but then they wouldnt be too happy. i guess i should just get a doggie in the future. : D

PICSPAM!!!!!All credit to unBeautiful



























TBC

LOL. the second to last picture says "with santaclause Tsukasa"
but thats for the pictures ^^

this thread is dyyyyyyyyyying. :<

Well...most threads are rather slow at ther moment...

second batch of photos:



























As I said...credit to unBeautiful...and me for uploading ^^

lol new pics!

hahah look at them posing in Rodeo Drive.....i'm sure some of those upper class people were thinking "who ARE these people?"

and the Zebra and the bottle pic.....hahahaha adorable. You know Zero is enjoying it.

Those three are my absolute favourites...especially the Rodeo Drive one...*giggles*

Saku sent them to me while at the same time telling me about the live she went to last night. Despa had a gig in Osaka. *sighs* I miss the guys.

lols.
those zebra ones were cute (:

are they going to be returning to Europe anytime soon Amber?

Not to my knowledge, no. *sighs* At the moment they're touring Japan and I know they have some more gigs there in December. So there's not much time to squeeze in gigs in Europe.

*sighs even more*

Seems like Karyu will break the promise he gave me on my birthday last year...*sniffle*

at least they went to where you guys live *sighs*

hi *waves*
