Randomness and my first J-Rock love

[winter]

I just uploaded the newest oeuvre to FF.net and it seems that the Pit of Voles is dividing Phantom fiction into "worlds" of book, musical and movie, despite the fact it's all in the Book category. This is disturbingly reasonable.

In other news, apart from some errands and chatting with fyrie (for values of chatting that encompass "271 messages within 24 hours"), I spent today catching up on online events and indulging in musical-love. Thanks to a tenuous connection, I stumbled on X-Japan performing Forever Love at their last live. Has it been nine years since I first heard that song?

Here, have X-Japan at their most visual. I know, they did good fast hard songs too (hell, I love X), but it's Forever Love and Tears and Crucify My Love that I played over and over again until the neighbours complained.

And here's something from the Takarazuka artist who also performed Forever Love. Nessun Dorma - and yes, she's a girl.

Oodles. Well. Um. I petted the cats? They're quite upset to have been taken away from their hunting areas.

*snickers* Did Lestat accost any more small unfortunates?

(And I tell you what - having Spike playing with Herbert's secret kinks in my head at work = bad)

One more, actually a full-grown bird that I think was a joint Lestat-Tonio project ;) And oi! Snippets in the other thread plzkthx!

Btw, just watched the XJapan video there and that's so perfectly Herbert on the piano :D

Yoshiki is love :D And he plays the piano as if fighting with it, bending it to his will.

I dunno.....

Since I've been a Phantom fan for a long time, it's all just one universe to me with slight differences.

I'm looking at it more from the flame-avoidance perspective. With all three universes herded into one category, the world-division certainly saves on idiot fangirls demanding that every Phantom look like Gerry Butler and not ugly at all ;)
