VANDALIZE SCANS

VANDALIZE ALBUM RIP

^ THANKS BABE
I WAS WAITING THE WHOLE NIGHT FOR THEM >_____>"
I READ SOMEONE FROM LJ GOT THEIR COPY EARLY AND I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD UPLOAD THEIRS, THAT WAS 5 HRS AGO >___>"
THANKS FOR THE LINK

edit:
I love the internet community, everyone who loves the same thing are usually on the same page ^^

however there are a lot of inappropriate people..

thanks for the scnas. VANDALIZE is frikken hot stuff .

omg i just listened to their album! so friggin awesome! alot more heavier songs in this album than usual too.
Love every single song except maybe Kiss twice, Kiss me deadly >< i couldn't go through the whole song ><

^ Yeah I would say Kiss me twice, kiss me deadly and Innocence were my least favourite tracks
Not sure if I should keep Mirrorball van. in or not >___>"

OHP NEW LAYOUT UPDATE:

GUYZ!!! THERE'S A NEW LAYOUT UP-ED ON THEIR OHP!!!!!!!!!


OMG!!! I went to visit the OHP just a while ago since I wanted to check out the schedule of their lives this year and heck I was flabbergasted when I saw the new layout. . . . .I never expected to see a new layout but oh well since there's a release maybe the change should've been expected XP



For more pics check our the OHP ALICE NINE. OHP

For some screen caps I posted an entry in xaliceninex and alice_nine: OHP Screencaps

currrrses my Net is capped until next Monday T__T
I wana hear Vandalize =[

oooh good to hear there are some heavier songs...but what's wrong with 'Kiss twice, Kiss me deadly'?
Really that bad?

EDIT: oooookay that song reminds me of some cowboy song O_o

^
^ It's like the iTunes cover flow, lol. The photography looks amazing though and the music's nice to listen to.

I liked the new album, I reckon it really deviated from usual alice nine. sounds which is always good. I like seeing bands change from album to album and that's what they've done pretty much.

EDIT: I liked Kiss twice, Kiss me deadly it was pretty catchy IMO.

Oh man I want that instrumental >___>"
Sounds familiar though.. I wonder..

What's with the OHP live, the part where you can choose the language..
It's a broken frame that's getting washed into the tide? o_O"
Does anyone know the concept?

---
also wondering if anyone has ripped the Tsubasa live thing from vandalize.. I can't find it ><"

Whoa yeah now that you've mentioned it, it does look like the itunes cover flow . . . I didn't recognize it at first hahaha I was too busy ogling the gorgeous pics up in the OHP XD

I found an interview for Alice Nine if you guys haven't seen it. I translated one questions only

QUOTE

Interviewer: How would you read 「 www. 」?
Alice Nine: It would be read 「 World Wide Warning 」. To the net society it's called Antithesis, the song included the feelings of 「 Watch Reality 」.

You could see it in the link below.

Thanks a million to the people here who posts links. Without these pics I would die of Alice Nine starvation!

Yay I made a new page Gogo thread!

Hey, I don't want to freak you guys out, but is Shou really retiring from the band in March?

Look here (the very last line under 2008-present: Vandalize)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Nine#20...sent:_Vandalize

^ So far there's no citation, so don't believe it for now.
I'm scared though :@

I reverted the edit, but what was posted said that "Shou would be retiring from the band as of March due to personal reasons" from a recent interview with Music Japan.
However, alice nine. seem to be having a tour “UNTITLED VANDAL(ism)” from February 28th. So believe what you can, I just think it's someone trying to scare us.
The person who edited the article has a history with vandalism so I don't think it's true. I'm also currently reading their interviews to see if there's any truth to it.

^Shou leaving or Alice Nine. disbanding is probably my worst nightmare. . If Shou were to retire i'd probably die of heart attack T___T. . .

But seriously I don't think that its true, if ever it is then probably Shou would've dropped some hints with his recent blog entries. I don't think he would be that inconsiderate to at least not let fans know what he's intending to do. Besides they still have lives right and a tour final on August, so I don't think its even possible for him to do so. Well he could do that by the tour final but not on March right??????? Besides rumors of Alice Nine. disbanding or members leaving have been going around before and nothing happened.

PS Company 10th Anniversary Book: Alice Nine Scans

^ Yeah I'm a bit skeptical on validity of these statements.
They seem to be doing too well, how was it when Bou left ancafe? did they have any hints?
What exactly is a "tour final"? LOL that always scares me "final"

Well Wonbin of FTI left just yesterday and rumors only surfaced a few days before, hopefully this won't happen for at least another 5 years 8D
They seemed to be doing well, but Wonbin left due to difference of music styles that FTI was adopting.

^ Hmm about Bou. . . Am not sure if Bou did drop off some hints before he left =(

I tried reading recent blog entries of Shou and none of it gave me the idea that he's leaving. The possibility of him taking a break may be possible since he might be getting too stressed out and needs to have a break. But we all know how dedicated Shou is with his work. And we know he loves Alice Nine's fans right?? I wouldn't have even thought that Shou would be doing something such as leaving the band behind if this issue wasn't mentioned here T__T

Oh Wonbin left O__O?!!!!!!! Now seriously if rumours only appeared for a few days before he left and with this issue going on I think I'm going to start freaking out >__<

Tour Final?? Hmmm I think its basically the last leg during their tour for the year.

^ Final is a bad word :@

Bou leaving was sudden I think.
I think it was in a Q&A where Shou said that the worst part of 08 was during the recording of VANDALIZE. I assume he meant they had issues over the songs and that they all had different ideas of what they wanted the songs to be like, I mean 5 members, 5 different opinions. But I think he would have left around that time =/

I'm just hoping that if it does happen, it'll be in a good time, and that he'll join another band for me to love.

^ I just got word from my friend who is a fan of An Cafe. She said that fans were actually aware that Bou was leaving >___<. .

Yeah I think I've read that interview before. Hmmm having conflicts is inevitable. Their opinions on their songs and such may clash at times and if those issues during the making of Vandalize did get to him that much SHou probably would've left already.

Yeah final sounds bad >__<. . . Am not sure but I think their tour final for this year is "Graced the Beautiful Day"

Sheessh I should be happy right now since my vandalize digi prints just arrived this morning but instead I'm sooo depressed over this news. . .

^ LOL, it's not official, trust me, if this was real news, I wouldn't really be posting, I would be on my bed in fetal position trying to roll myself to sleep.

well ancafe were never as good P:
They seem to be happy, as stated in their interviews, it kinda says Shou is still getting ready for lives and such. I believe the person who edited the article, is a smart troll who takes advantage of people who believe in too much of Wikipedia.
Hahah they shouldn't call them Tour finals unless it's actually their last tour forever.

^ Lols yeah I don't believe Wiki that much since I got wrong info from their articles several times before when I was doing research work for my assignments >__<. . . But crap when it comes to Alice Nine. I'm always soooo paranoid hahahaha. .

Lol yeah adding 'finals' kinda gave me the wrong idea when I first heard about it O__O I thought they we're disbanding when I read that before . . . .

^
OK thanks. I needed someone to validate that information for me. I did look at the musicJapan interview and I didn't see anything about it. Great tracking skills!

Well, I think it's safe to say that rumor was a lie.
From a recent translation of a Q&A Shou answers:
02. A dream you have right now would be?
alice nine. till I’m old.
- I guess meaning he'd like to be in alice nine. until he's old.
10. Your wish as a musician?
∞
- Forever as a musician

If he really did want to leave I don't think he would have said that.

^ yeh i read that earlier. what a relief.
-kicks wikipedia-
let's hope its in a LOOONGGG while
the thought of alice nine one day disbanding is gona take like half of my life span >>"
i wanna grow old with alice nine music D:

im such a noob at lj

Yosh!!! Let's burn wikipedia hahaha. . . I seriously don't know what the hell is up with those people who keep sprouting rumors that either the band would disband or someone is leaving the band behind. They seriously need to get a life trying to scare the crap out outta me pffttt!!!


Me too I wanna grow old listening to their music. . . I'd seriously turn psycho if they disband >__<. . . I've grown attached with the band that much lol. .

Yup the scans are protected. You should be a member of xaliceninex community so you'd be able to see the scans


EDIIIIIITTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

OMG I can't believe I forgot to post the link for the RR scans ft. Sagachi!! *whacks head*

Saga Rock and Read scans

I just received a word from my bestfriend who has a friend whose brother works in PS and he stated that Shou is not leaving the band. So yeah we can now calm down and be happy!!!!!!!!

omg .. T-T I can't believe I just stumble upon this thread . Alice Nine is so awesome . I freakin'
LOVE Shou & Hiroto & Tora ! arrgh . Actually everyone in Alice Nine is pure sex ..
I haven't receive my Vandalize album from yesasia yet but I'm totally in love with the song Drella & Kiss twice, Kiss me deadly !

Hey everyone The threads been awfully quiet again

Hi there sanaaki. welcome to the thread We me likey SHOU *fangirl mode*

Anyways I've been googling Shou and Tora's pics from Givuss days. Just wanna confirm if I was able to pinpoint those two from the pictures correctly.

This is a Givuss pic right?? Anyway. . .

**Shou is in the middle while the one in his right is Tora right?

^ I think so, the one left of Shou looks like Tsunehito.
There's 5 members there, when Givuss started it had 5 members until Nao left (diff Nao)

http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/7228/givussmz9.jpg

^ Yeah. Shou looks short in that pic.

Tora <3

O___O Yeah why didn't I notice that?

Shou does look short in that pic. . .

Lol, Shou looks unrecognisable to me. He looks like some scene kid cause of that bandana. Tora doesn't looks as manly in that picture compared to his other pictures. But I love Tora all the same.

shou's not short D:
the others are just very tall ;;__;;
and im glad tora has black hair now (:

Hellos! I'm a new alice nine. fan XD

for my art class, well art sketchbook, i decided to draw them...but they don't really look like them! XD. well i like the one i drew of tora the best

Hiroto
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/Moui/IMG_4989-1.jpg ---> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/Moui/IMG_4989-1.jpg
somehow, his charisma disappeared in my drawing ): i plan to redraw this XD... -sad- his eyes look weird o__o

Shou
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/Moui/IMG_4989-1.jpg ----> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/Mou...ld_1024x768.jpg
ah... i think the proportion of his face is kind of off );....but i still kind of like it XD (teeth are hard to draw)

Nao
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/Moui/IMG_4987-1.jpg --> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/Mou...7768f32f122.jpg
my friend liked this drawing the most. i have trouble drawing lips Dx..

Tora
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/Moui/IMG_4986-1.jpg --> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/Mou...079290_full.jpg
ahh i like this one the best XD his lips seem kind of off, no?

and about saga.... as much as i love saga ); i failed with his drawing so won't be posting that one up XD. i'm working on another picture of him, but this one will have color (8. sooo if it comes out good i might post it.. XD

by the way, does anyone have a bigger picture of this

Lol, I remember when I drew Shou. Man did he end up looking efftarded. D:

-cough- this thread kind of died after i posted-cough- XD ^ and eh, my pictures are pretty bad XD, but i'm kind of proud of them because i never really drew portraits.

i've been wondering... did you guys like alice nine when they were still really visual like back in Yami Ni Chiru Sakura, or do you like them more now?

^ I like them more now
well, since after TSUBASA./Ruri no ame anyway. I was never really interested in their VK days until after TSUBASA./Ruri no ame

off topic:
but soon I shall no longer be known as "alice nine."
requested a change of username ! D:

Hey guys,

Is the thread still alive? Feels like it hasn't been updated in forever.

Here's some scans from CD DATA: http://community.livejournal.com/jrock_scans/1419161.html
Link to A9's part is on the page.

the beautiful name / rainbows live
man.. I had no idea someone recorded this..
so happyyyy

but.. I dunnoe where to dl it T__T"
can anyone help?

sigh
the beautiful name was cut T__T"

edit:
whattt
"While you were making the album, I heard that you spoke your opinions without compromise, as Hiroto came to hate Sho. (laughs) And, Hiroto, you said that you made about 20 songs last year. Is that true?" http://www.musicjapanplus.jp/specialfeatur...=138&page=9
man makes me sad even if it is not really the full truth D:

http://kickyoutube.com/watch/?v=BDcOKCu9Lmg

^Use that for the download. Click the file format you want at the top and then click "go".
If it doesn't work I can try to get it for you, but try yourself first. XD
Let me know~ (^__^)

About the interview:
I don't think they hate each other. The way Hiroto said, "Actually, it’s true of every year." makes it seem like every year they make a recording they spend so much time together they start to "hate" each other. [Makes me think of when I spend too much time around my parents, lol.] "Hate" is probably being misused [aren't these interviews translated?]. They're probably back on good terms, they just got irritated with each other during the intense recording. *shrug*

Besides, can you really see these guys hating each other? Especially Hiroto&Shou? LOL!

(^__^)v

~ZB24~

^ I thought that "Actually, it’s true of every year." part meant that they make over 20 unrecorded songs every year D:

^

Wai!!! I was able to watch that Alice Nine. guesting on "wednesday jpop"

Side note: I'm gonna miss Miyavi! Happy Graduation Miyavi!
