plucking the strings maybe?

im not sure, is there a clip of him really emphasizing on the way he plays, i could watch it? S:

[b06]

lol :3 I do that a lot, just download a bunch of stuff and put it in, and then listen to them later xD

hehe, cuz I was introduced pretty late to alice nine, I heard their more recent songs, where shou's voice has improved a lot



edit--------------------------------------------------

I know nothing about guitars, but I have a question:

the way tora plays seems to be unique, it's hard to describe ^^; but i haven't seen other guitarists play like that

he... kinda.. um.. touches the strings in a certain way.. um lol i don't know how to explain it...

but i really love how he plays it, he looks so carefree and he makes it look so effortless

yeah, same here i love rewatching thier MV whenever tora does his guitar solos b/c i love how he plays, very cool.
i guess we're all going back to memory lane, well the first time i've heard about alice nine was from my friend since she's into manga/ anime/ drama etc. she told me about them. it's funny, i decided to check them out, but wasn't really into them until fantasy...so i decided to save/ download some of thier songs, didn't bother to listen to them until last summer when my fangirl moment hit me...yes gotta admit i like music, but i'm not really into the whole fangirl stuff until alice nine which is weird b/c i used to love, love flytothesky when i was in 7th grade which is something totally different and i thought that would be the last band that i would ever consider being a fan off b/c i thought the older i get the less this stuff i would like, but anyways i'm probably not making sense now...

..Am I the only one who enjoys the idea of alice nine. + nice looking car? ;D
font]

Nope~! You're not ALOOOOONNNNEEEEEE~~~!! XD
How about this...I snag the car and Shou!!! haha....XD *fangirl mode*
yeah! I think Alice Nine and a nice looking car is a good concept!

ahaha... blame it on my sister! She was watching/fangirling over Akatsuki and Ruri no Ame at that time. She has this certain appeal to drag people to her fandom.

Yeah! Blame her fandom on me! I actually heard of Alice Nine a year before I became a fan. I was trying to avoid their band for some weird reason. Well, 1 year is not that long compared to the 8 long years before I became a L'arc~en~ciel fan. O___o??!!!!

Anyways, back to the topic. A friend of mine from Friendster asked me if I know Alice Nine. I said "I have heard of them but i never listened to them." And so she sent me a link of Ruri No Ame and Akatsuki.

So I watched the two links. First it was Akatsuki, my reaction was...OK it was nice and got my attention. I'm starting to like them already. But when I saw Ruri No Ame, haha....the moment I saw Shou's face...I knew I am already converted~! XD

After seeing those two vids, my first reaction was...."Shoot! Where are their other songs!!! haha...." Lolz...i really have a soft-y spot for Ruri no Ame....XD

[killjoys]

i didnt notice that link of alice nine. on the cover of shoxx o_o

they look like those women car models
cept alice nine. are more appealing to me : D

ruri no ame is really different from their usual stuff ain't it xD

I just realised, on the cover of SHOXX, Shou's holding a gun! 8D[/font]

i havent seen the larger scan yet xD
the cover is still superrr hot haha

[Joanna]

hmm

it kinda shows more on the performance of tsubasa on music japan and on the eraser PV

the shape of his hand, and how he ... plucks? the strings is different from what i've seen other guitarists do

i am so in love with his hands because of it T_T

[三日のモリっカ]

so many topics going on HHAHAA!!


btw, the shoxx magazine cover is really hot
haha i think shou's holding a gun? (lol, i'd be happy if shou shot me. JKJKJK )

i think i fell in love with alice nine when i heard fantasy, the tune was very touching.
but then i think it was official when i saw the White Prayer PV
it's just like..true love at first sight TA'HAHAHAA.
their make-up have been less and less these days & i like it
but then i kind of crave those old days.
maybe in the next album they should be like BAM! full out make up ahah


just out of curiosity, would japanese karaoke have alice nine songs?
i would like to sing their songs in a karaoke
although it wouldn't be half as good as shou <3

[Joanna]

^hahah yeh after i saw/heard White Prayer i got more into them xD it's still my all time fav song haha.
yeh i also like their look nowadays with the less makeup hehe.

hm where i live, they have quite alot of alice nine songs in this particular Korean karaoke.. im sure Japanese karaoke will have alice nine songs too hehe. i havent checked at the Japanese karaokes here because they are soo expensive ><

[understanding_fiction]

lol T_T i actually can't sing along to most of alice nine's songs

it's hard because of his way of singing

[syunikiss]

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee cdjapan said they shipped out my order yesterday !! hopefully i`ll receive it by the end of the week


i first fell in love with alicenine when i heard Yami ni Chiru Sakura ... maybe a week or two after they released it ... and then i also saw the Gin no Tsuki, Kuroi Hoshi PV and PMFGGGGG i had to get my hands on everything they released no matter how poor it would make me

so i love love LOVE their heavy stuff .... i was surprised when i heard "13" because it has some awesome guitar riffs
but that said i like their newer stuff too ... i don`t mind if they don`t release heavy stuff, because it`s better than producing heavy songs for the sake of being heavy

^
^ and omg joanna, mandy and i were complaining about that >< since WE don`t have a place but you guys do (泣） so not mokkori
but it`s ok ... you could always belt it out at home when no one`s listening xDD

[understanding_fiction]

^ congrats <3

lol xD i tried typing in しょげ in a korean search engine and every post was nao related xD

i didn't know that there were japanese -> kor translations of alice nine blog posts too xD

[killjoys]

IM SO LOST ATM
so many topics hahaha
x]

well about tora and his hands - ill check it out

mmm, korean trans of naos blogs x]
i never knew that either, but i guess alice nine. would have a fanbase in kroea - cos well have you heard of TRAX?

japanese karaoke with alice nine? i hope so! (probably find some in a karaoke next to harauju bridge 8D)

oh and hmmm, their look with less makeup - for me its a plus, because they have a more natural look which i personally (L)

[xDD]

hmm i was listening to my ipod and the second song from mirrorball came on lol i thought it was rosier from luna sea >.<; anyone else think it sounds alike too or it is just me lol like the begining part XD
