I picked up my magazine as usual... I'm beginning to get tired of walking up to the counter and announcing my account number. I've been doing it for close to 5 years now.
After that, I was browsing the 'hot and new' section and I saw a familiar face.
I smiled and thought to myself "Ah, Yoshiki" and walked along.
Then I stopped and thought "Yoshiki?", walked back and noticed that the book said 'YOSHIKI'.
I picked it up and flipped through and realised it was his freaking autobiography.
I bought it. The best RM118 spent since Dir en grey's Dragonfly book (That was RM180, though).
XD!
I will forever love X-Japan and pay no attention to how many people have intentionally insulted their brilliance in front of me :D
And I will forever love the moment I first heard the first note of Crucify My Love.
(Note how I unconsciously used their song, "Forever Love", in my sentence)
(book cover)You gotta admit, at 40+ years old, the man is still pretty damn hot. (In my very personal and bias opinion)
(promoting the book.. he looked good, I had to have this picture here)The book actually had a picture of him in some high school thing and he must've been playing the girl because that definitely looked like a dress.
He looked very good in high school.. Rye-chan, he had that typical manga gangster type hairstyle :D
(I wonder if he was posing)I'll probably get sad reading the parts about his father's and hide's deaths knowing how much it must've affected him... and all the fans (hide's death part).
I put the book on the coffee table after showing my brother and my Mum came and read his name in Chinese. "Good tree? Is that his name?!"
His name 'Yoshiki' means 'good tree' in Chinese. I wonder if that's what it means in Japanese. Should be, sounds about the same.
I lifted the book and told my grandma "Look! Hot right? He has the same surname as you! :D"
She looked at him and looked away. I thank God she didn't say "Yeah, she's pretty" like how she did with Gackt because that would've been sad.
My grandma's surname's chinese character has two 'wood' next to each other. (Imagine it yourself)
In Japanese, it reads as 'hayashi'.
I've seen them use that kanji for his surname, I'm not sure but if it's true, he shares my grandma's surname because her's reads as 'hayashi' too.
Why didn't I inherit her surname instead? T_T
Speaking of Yoshiki, after 2 years of not seeing the music sheet.. I finally picked up the notes for Es Dur no Piano.
I could never play it due to the crossing hands and the 5 sharps.
I played it that day. I felt like I have accomplished something amazing. Although, nobody can play it as well as Yoshiki -all hail-
