This journal is now locked. Seeing as this journal contains my RL blogging as well as some fandomish things, I'm only adding people I know. My PUBLIC fandom blog can be found at gimmick_game @ dw. Sorry for the inconvenience, but my flist is a bit to large for me to manage as it is. If you are looking for my fic, you can find it all at bunnycrack for now and all subsequent fic at thesewords @ dw. All of my graphics can be found at sonokotoba//sonokotoba @ dw and scans and uploads at: very-danger. Feel free to leave a comment and I may still consider adding you, depending. EDIT: 2008.12.28 - All previous comments have been deleted to start fresh. :) Comment to be considered.

Please join keep_a_peak for all of my scans, icons and other graphics!


That is all :)

CHANGE! Please join either sonokotoba or sonokotoba @ dw for my graphics//icons.

All scans are/will be at very-danger

Since GameStop only gives CREDIT for trading in systems and I already BOUGHT the DSi (thank you B and your huge hands that can't use the damned thing), I've decided to go ahead and sell the Lite on ebay (especially because with research I've discovered I'll net more in the long run).

Click here if you're interested

It's gently used and was only bought in September of last year. It's stayed in my Hello Kitty case this whole time and would have been kept a lot longer had the DSi debacle not happened.

There is a reserve on it, but it's not bad. Plus there's also buy it now if you're interested. A little bit more than what it would cost at GameStop or something, but definitely in MUCH better quality and includes ALL original items that came with the system, including the second stylus *shock* XD.

If you purchase it and are on my flist, I'll refund the shipping charges. :)

SOLD! :)

The Fandom Appreciation Meme: My Thread

Go for it.

So I've been thinking about doing a new layout from some awesome codes I found over at xaddictionsx for about a week now, but I had been thinking about using truth or kaze no mukou e screencaps for it.

Instead, I used freestyle.

So welcome to my new layout. XD

Comments? Suggestions? :3


EDIT; The font color has been changed now. Thanks!

Sadly, my scanner has decided to not want to work on me so no scans of the booklets at the moment.

Single: MU | MF
Ripped at 320kbps, tags in kanji, file names romanized. Rar format.
*Replacement 'truth' file, since the one in the .rar skips 4 seconds in. <-- MU link of the single file.

truth PV: MU | MF
.avi, xvid codec, 95.7mb, deinterlaced
iPod format: MU | MF

風の向こうへ PV: MU | MF
.avi, xvid codec, 86.4mb, deinterlaced
iPod format: MU | MF


*Uploading. Will update as soon as they're finished. All links up now.
Update: MU & MF links for Kaze no Mukou e are available.
Update 2: MU & MF links for truth PV are now available.
Update 3: MU & MF links for kaze pv ipod format are now available.
Update 4: MU & MF links for truth pv ipod format are now available.


EDIT: From what some of you have told me, it seems truth gets a little hiccup in it a few seconds in on the .mp3. Honestly, I'm not sure what happened but after checking my copy in iTunes, I see what you mean. I'll re-rip the file and reup it to both MU and MF when I get home from work today.

EDIT 2: So after a bit of investigating, it looks like the reasoning for that little skip on truth was that in fact, my disc is scratched. -__-. I've reripped the song from the LE 1 but changed the tags so it will match up with the regular edition disc (I may be a bit OCD about tags...just a smidgen >.>). Only on MU, since it's just one small file anyway. Sorry it took a bit. There's that thing, do you know it? Yea, Life. -___-

Unlocked post because I'm going to link back to it from the comms.


Truth PV in .mp4 iPod format (32mb), encoded with the highest video and sound settings my converter will allow, which accounts for its size. Well worth it though. *___*

Preview Caps:



Screencaps are from the converted pv, not the original.

MU Link | MF Link (will update with MU link as soon as it's done) MU Link up as well.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Just transferred it over to my nano and it looks beautiful. *____*

I don't normally do this, I know. But, wow. I got a hold of the new ONE OK ROCK album today, and just finished listening to it. Wow. I really didn't think anything could beat my love of the first album, but this one has beaten it. Taka's voice, it gets me. And I remember every time I hear him sing that had he not high-tailed it out of NEWS and JE, he'd get maybe a line or two per song, if that.

MU Link of the Full Album in .rar format, cus I'm lazy.

Track Recommendations: EVERYTHING! No, but seriously, this whole album is amazing. My personal favorites are as follow:
- 必然メーカー - Hitsuzen Maker
- 100%(hundred percent)
- 光芒 - Koubou (Beam of Light)

My all-time ONE OK ROCK song will forever bee Keep It Real, but this whole album is just a mess of amazing.

I'm posting this publicly so you can link back to it if you wish and spread the ONE OK ROCK love. ♥

Anyone have Nami Tamaki's Heroine single? I need the instrumental and the torrents are dead on jpopsuki.

Check it out! :D

Yet again, there has been a bit of rapid friending on this journal.

• If you add me, and don't comment on my fonly post or I don't know you, I WILL NOT ADD YOU BACK.
• If you add me and comment on the f-only post, there is a good chance I will add you back.
  
• This journal is heavily filtered. Meaning if you're just here for the arashi, that's all you'll get. If you're here just for fic, don't hold your breath and go to bunnycrack, which is where all of my fic is posted.
• If you're here for graphics, again, don't hold your breath and go to keep_a_peak, which is where my graphics/icons are posted.
• If you're here for scans, go to my vox.
  
• This is my personal journal, meaning I'm picky on who I add and who I don't. Usually, if we share interests and you actually update your journal, I'll add you back. Otherwise, no dice. Sorry, that's just how it is.

This post doesn't apply to anyone currently on my friends list, only those that have added me recently and NOT commented on my fonly post or I don't know them. Thus the reason this post is unlocked.

My next project is actually the 2007-12-11 Josei Jishin. XD It came today and I just couldn't wait to scan it. I do have a bit of AAA done, but I'd at least like to get through Jet Storm Taipei before I start posting it.

All scans are at 600 dpi with the tallest edge 1500 px (any bigger and the quality is decreased exponentially). No watermarks, as I've come to the conclusion if people are going to steal, they're going to steal regardless of watermark or no. But, I know my scans, I know my settings, and I will know if these show up somewhere with someone else's name on them.

I've noticed a rash of friending going on lately to this journal.

I don't mind if you add me, and I'm more than willing to add you back, if you follow the rules. If you can't be bothered to even check my journal first before mousing over my user icon and hitting "add" then I'm not going to be bothered to add you back.

I have a fairly lax friending policy. All I ask is that you comment to my f-only post, which is the top post on my recent entries and completely unlocked. But, if you add me, and comment on that post, there is a chance that I won't add you back. Sorry, but that's the way it is. So far it's only happened once. You have a better chance of being added if you actually update your journal and aren't just here for fic. If you are, then don't even bother, and go to bunnycrack. All of my fic is posted there.

Sorry to be a bitch about this, but if you can't follow one simple rule, or be bothered to actually READ my journal when you friend it, then I'm not going to add you.

To everyone on my flist, this doesn't apply to you. Don't worry ^___^.

I've finally found a way of scanning this without breaking the spine, so to mix up my scanning a bit (so I'm not always scanning magazine pages or photos, which can get a bit monotonous) I will be scanning this book in batches of 10. It probably won't be very often, as it is definitely more involved than scanning pages which are easily kept flat. Also, I won't be scanning the whole book. The text is useless to anyone who can't read Japanese, and even then, it's a fairly inexpensive book and if you can read Japanese you most likely have an easy source to buy it. I will be scanning all of the pages with the actors, and most likely the scenery shots in the back, as I am scanning this for iverin who is a big fan of the show.

All images are 600dpi, 1500px on the longest side.

More to come from this magazine, including Toma with MA, Radio pictures, Haikei, Chichue-sama shoot, HYD stuff, Koike Teppei and T&T. Also, per iverin's request, I'll be scanning T&T for the rest of my mags and the previous ones I posted. But for now, my wrist is dying on me, and I need to let it rest in its brace.

Ahhh, this magazine gave me quite a bit of trouble. It was mainly photoshop giving me issues. I can't for the life of me get the healing brush to work. It worked fine last night. I've restarted, I've closed out 15 different ways, changed settings, and even closed out of the IME to see if that was the problem, and nada. >_< *growls* Anyway...

Originally posted on ladygemma.vox.com

Only two groups this time. Might scan more from this later (I think I missed Toma if he had a page, gotta go back through it). My wrist has officially given out after 70 pages of scans (some not viable and having to be redone), so although I have the energy to, no more scans tonight. I have 4 or 5 more mags to scan (april and may) and then I can get back to scanning the shop photos I have. Anyway, enjoy these! :D

Aiba looks a bit sick in this, and it's Sho's News Zero audition for the Arashi Izm corner! He looks so pudgy in these compared to now. I kinda miss pudgy-faced Sho. :/

I'd just like to proclaim my love for the paper Potato uses right now. Duet, you could learn a valuable lesson from Potato regarding paper. *glares*

These are quite old, a year now, but I finally got my scanner to cooperate and finally convinced myself yes, it's okay to pull pages from my mags. XDDDD

Click on the image above to go to the collection. :D
