Dir en Grey


so this friday i went to to dir en grey, live in concert.
I'm gving this a seprete post becuase it was such an amazingly awsome concert.
Kyo was so close...it was amazing. They're an awsome live band. He really puts his heart and sould into his music and his pervormances.
the opening act was really good too. the support act was 10 Years, from teh US, it'S weird seeing american/english speaking bands in japan becuase thewy can't really do crowd interaction or talk to them, or even have anyone understand them, it was funny, the lead singer just stood there and yelled "OSAKA!! over and over agin and people cheered for it, and then they yeslled "OSAKA WE LOVE YOU!" and they didn't reallly understand, but i yelled back "WE LOVE YOU TOO!"
though i doubt they heard me.
but dir en grey was why everyone was there
there were times where Kyo had almost hypnotised the audience, there were moments whre everyone stood silient in awe and adortation.
I screamed my lungs out that night, my voice is still recovering. They played all my favorites, "dead tree" "the final" "aggitated cry of amggots" "beautiful dirt" etc....The encore was the best part. thouhg it was hilariouxs, whent eh crwod was cheering for an encore, japanses people can't really pronouce the word "encore" right so it sounded more like "ann-kaa-ree"
my neck and back still hurt from that thouhg, i went a little over board in the mosh.....

My fingers are cold

yes infact, my fingers are very cold, the room i'm in dosn'T have the best heating system, and I have poor circulation in my hands, so my fingers are infact very cold, so excuse my typing.

So last month we went to hiroshima and miyajima on a rotary trip. It was pretty fun.
though it seemed like we spent a large majority of the time stting on the bus, getting off for a couple minuets, taking a photo of us in front of something famous(i.e. the a-bomb dome, the tori, that temple with the all the stairs, etc...)
the hiroshime peace park was interesting, especially going through their as an american. It's impossible to describe, it'S just something you have to experience for yourself.
So right before the hiroshima, i switchged host families. I am now living with the shibata family. they are very nice. They have threee daughters, Ayako, Emiko, and Kanako. Ayako and Emiko are indentical twins, and I still can't tell tehm apart....T_T.....
I really like this family, but I'm only going to be with them until January 20th and tehn I7m moving to a new family in kyoto. wich means...annalisa has to leave teh house at 7am to get to school in time, becuae my school is halfway between downtown nara and downtown osaka....but that ,easn I7ll be able to see dyalan and maru and all teh toher students who live in kyoto more often.
Speaking of toehr exchenge students, alan and will are going home this week, which is sad. Everyone is going to miss them alot. they've really helped everyone so much.

well
thats al for now
merry chritmas
