Bursting with Love

Last year, my heart was empty and I grappled very hard to find a place I fit in. Back then I was devastated with the materialism of Kpop and realised that I hadn't especially been attentive of my Jrock self. So I filled it up with so many things at once that I may have lost sight of what matters most.

Thus after 1 year and 2 months from this post [Just So You Know], here is where I stand now. I cleaned up nicely, ne? :)

1. Luna Sea 2. Shinhwa 3. KinKi Kids 4. Sugizo 5. Rentrer en Soi 6. MUCC 7. NoGoD 8. Chemical Pictures 9. abingdon boys school 10. FAKE? 11. NEWS 12. INORAN 13. D 14. Kanjani8 15. D'espairsRay 16. DEAD END 17. Satsuki 18. Versailles 19. Dir en grey 20. Kagrra, 21. DaizyStripper 22. DELUHI 23. SID 24. X

Comments:
- I thought I shouldn't put #3 at the same level as #1 and #2, but I realise I love them as much.
- #5, oh #5. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. And Takumi's regret doubles it.
- Entrees #7 and #8 scored high because of their fondness for each other. I'm also biased coz of Jimi. Heh. Besides, NoGoD is AWESOME!
- Shuffled a lot of names to make way for other potential new groups like #13, #21 and #22 although #10 isn't a newbie. I just hadn't explored FAKE? before and am regretting it.
- #11 and #14 are here because they make me laugh and smile like a noona fan. mwahah.
- #17 manages a low rung since he hasn't even release an album and his solo singles are okay - not great. Yet I still think he's the best vocalist ever (2nd only after Ryuichi).
- #24? Sigh. Only due to Sugizo. I'll feel bad if I completely diss hide's memories. But then it's only memories. In with the new, out with the old! Bah. I'm a contradiction.

Say goodbye to:
- Pierrot: Let bygones by bygones.
- V6: Hm, easily replaced with NEWS and Eito. And Tokio's single sounds better.
- hide & Acid Black Cherry: I haven't been listening to them in a long time.
- Matenrou Opera & 12012: Not impressed.
- Hyoshin: The first half of 2010 for me, aren't slow and saaaad ballads. Ick. Maybe I'll be ready once he comes back in September.
- ExistTrace & DangerGang: Whatever.

And the Biggest Loser goes to...
- the GazettE: Ugh. My age isn't the issue. They seriously dried up. Their obsessed fans are no help either.
- Duel Jewel: Nope, no more chances.
- Jinkaku Radio: I got turned off because the vocalist's personality is annoying.

If you compare the artwork, The Heart is no longer bleeding out of loneliness and no longer does it want to escape to a place where it will be accepted.

I'm home sweet home with my VK fandoms.
