I'm in the family <3

For some reason, I couldn't sleep yesterday, falling asleep 7AM -_-' Thank God I didn't have classes until 4PM or I would not been able to get up. I got like four hours sleep, went to school and had ensamble. We practiced our songs that we are going to perform next Wednesday. We are the last band so I hope the teachers won't be dead tired. They are going to listen to bands from 9AM though so yeah, they won't be happy XD

Anyway, it's gonna be fun and our band M.B.O* have this setlist;
1. Yume miru shoujo ja irarenai - performed by me
2. Twinkle - performed by me
3. MC
4. Birthday - performed by the other band vocalist Shingo and I
5. American Idiot - performed by Shingo

After the class, my good friends Chiemi and Kika waited outside for me and we went together to Tokyo Dome to take purikura. Passing the dome we saw that KANJANI8 had a concert, that's why we saw so many young girls, all dressed up and pretty lol. Kika and I continued to Shinjuku and went to a izakaya (restaurant) called Zawatami and ate the best food ever. Meatballs, salmon, pasta salad and something chinese that looked like gyouza. It was really good. We talked, ate and laughed, leaving all happy and full, singing for one hour at the karaoke before returning home.

At the station, I met my friend from the old days when going to a language school, and we walked home together. I went to the combini to buy, listen to this, tomatoes! I just craved that so much XDD So green tea and tomatoes, which I ate before writing this. I also joined Miyavi's fanclub and can't wait until I get the stuff. I just have to go to the post and pay the bill, which will happen on Wednesday!

Now it's time for be to continue talking to friends and family on MSN for a while before sleeping. I'm exhausted.
Good weater today, good day.

Goodnight!

Stuff that happens right now;

1. I'm on a diet. Or not diet, I'm just eating really healthy to lose weight. I also made myself a small work out program that I do once or twice a day. I will keep this until I can find a gym that allows people with tattoes (-__-)'. It's so silly in my opinion but I can't really go against their rules now, can I?

2. This and next week I will have exams in school. It's gonna be hard cause I'm still not good enough in some things. Like dancing and chords. But I'm gonna try and do my best.

3. Next week I will perform 2 times, which are part of the exam as well. The first perfomance is a mini live. I will sing three songs, songs that the teacher have chosen for me. The funny thing is that I'm one of the only two that sings in Japanese. All the other have to "struggle" with English songs but since I already know that language and want to sing in Japanese, the teacher was kind enough to allow that. Except from the group song, which is a Beatles song, I will sing;

Aikawa Nanase - Yume miru shoujo ja irarenai &
Kimura Kaera - TWINKLE (NANA Version)

It's not my style but I do like the songs so it's gonna be fun!

The other perfomance will be just one song, that I've practiced in class and it's a ballad by Onitsuka Chihiro called Infection. One of my favorite ballads actually, always singing it when I'm at the Karaoke. It's hard though so I hope I'm not too nervous. GANBARIMASU!!!!

4. Headphones President has a live on Friday. I will go <3

5. I took away my extensions and cut my hair so I could get my bangs back. At first I liked it, then I wanted longer hair again so I asked Mom to send an ashblond haircolor. So a few days ago I colored my hair, but it didn't turned into that blonde color on the package (of course), but more into a vanilla greyish white tone which I really like. So my hair stays. Not many people here has or can get my color, and they don't have any white extensions so if I'm gonna get my hair longer I have to color it darkblonde and I don't want that =((( I wanna be me!! So I have to have patient and wait for it to grow, which isn't a problem though cause this strong sun makes my hair grow in superspeed. Like 1.5cm every second week. Crazy!

6. So what have I been doing this far? School, being with friends, taking a lot of purikura and eaten a lot of good food, karaoke, travels etc etc.

7. I have two bands in school. One is used for the ensamble classes and picked out by the teacher, the other one is called Nadeshiko and it's my band together with four other girls. We had our first audition but we didn't pass it, unfortunately. Neither did anyone else of the first year student so. I was really nervous and sick at the same time so it was hard. But fun as well of course. But the bad thing is that even though we all want a band, we have different taste in music and for me it doesn't feel that good, so I'm thinking of leaving it. I have to be happy with the music or it's gonna be hard!

8. I'm also planning to start a unit with my friend. We are gonna start working on our first single soon and plan to sing rock / visual kei in both english and japanese. It's gonna be a lot of fun!

9. In two weeks I'm going to see KAT-TUN in Tokyo Dome. That will be interesting. I really like Kamenashi!

10. I want a new image, a new style so if anyone has any ideas, please tell me. I don't wanna be a typical J-rocker or anything like that. I wanna be rock-ish, but still have my own style. Hmm.. need to think more about that.

Anyway, catch you guys later. I need to practice then sleep.

-----------------------

I need a SUPER HERO friend.

It's been a while.

Just realized that it's been over a month since I last updated. I have to admit that I suck at keeping blogs and stuff.
Of course I have thoughts and stuff happens that I wanna write about, but I always forget, either that or I'm way too lazy to write. That's why I'm thinking of updating with video and audio posts. I think that could be cool!

So yeah, last time I updated was before the Miyavi show. Wow.. so many days ago XDDD;; What happened since then I wonder?
No, but seriously. Miyavi's concert was awsome! It was one of my favorite shows actually. He sang a lot of old songs, which made me really happy, like Coin Locker Baby and Girl's, Be Ambitious! I think the thing I'll remember most is when he went out to the audience and stood on a bench in the middle of everyone, singing Kimi ni negai wo and crying. It was really emotional.

Right then I realized, as well as today, how much his music means to me. It's going straight to the heart, really.
Of course, Miyavi himself looks good, has an awsome style and often writes stuff in his blog that makes me laugh.
But it's the music that's so.. wonderful. Though, it's the wrong word. I can't really describe it.

He makes me wanna fight for my dreams. My dream to become a singer, and to one day be able to make a song with him.
Or join J-GLAM INC, if that's possible.

It's a goal that I have, and sure the way there is long, but hell, you gotta try!! Life isn't that hard if you just believe.

I'm gonna try to keep this blog up now. I will write either in Swedish, English and Japanese. I don't know when I'm writing in what language but I guess it depends on the mood and what I wanna say! =)

I'll be around, I promise.

Speaking of Miyavi, btw. I love his new song and his sound. And it's gonna be so much fun to follow him.
I'm longing for the concert as well.. so much!

Can. Not. Sleep T_T

It's 7AM here, and I can't sleep.

My friend invited me to Miyavi's live today, so we're going. I can't believe I'll be able to get in without a ticket. I'm on the guestlist... how cool is that!? And it's the last live of PSCompany and it's sold out so... wow. I'll enjoy it A LOT.
I'll probably be able to meet him someday soon as well and when that happens, I'm giving him my covers of his songs.
I hope he'll listen to it and like it. Since Miyavi is making his own company I hope I can work there someday. I'll fight for it!

I feel so happy and so greatful. It'll rock for sure. I just hope it won't rain... please don't let it rain =(((((

I'll tell you more and update more latuuuuur
Sleeeep Zzzzzz

Nyuugakushiki

Nyuugakushiki is the same as a welcome cermony for the new students. I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep much, ending up getting 2 hours. Still I manage to get up and got ready, waking Rina up so she could get dressed. Poor thing, forcing her to come when she was dead tired. She did anyway and for that I'm greatful.

We met with Kika and her family. Kika is from Greenland and she and I are the only ones who're from Europe in our school. She's really nice and funny to hang with, I like her a lot!! She was wearing a traditional outfit that her mom and sister made. It was really cool and the things that were handmade were just beautiful. Kika was probably hot though. We met Ono, who is in charge of the foreign center of the school (in case you wanna talk or have a problem etc etc) and she showed us where to enter. Family and friends had to sit on the second floor and the student on the first. So we went inside and they guided us to a seat and the hall got filled pretty fast. A lot of rockish people and a lot of guys.

Me and Kika are in the same class along with 34 other asian people, mostly Japanese and guys. Visual Kei power everywhere.
My teacher is AWSOME. I love him. And after the principle and the other high ranked guys had spoken, and after they've introduced all the teachers, we split up into classes and heard what our teacher had to say. We also got the schedule for the orientation week;

Monday: Starting 1PM
Tuesday: Starting 10AM I think. We have to bring a karaoke song cause the vocalists are going to sing. Waah... nervous.
Wednesday: Free yay!
Thurstday: I'm not sure.. from 10AM I think.
Friday: From 10AM to 5:30PM T_T Looong
Sat-Sun: Free

It's gonna be awsome.. I just hope I'll get a lot of friends..
I'll do my best!!!

Friends <333

Today I got an email from my old friend Rika, saying "We're going to Shibuya, let's meet and have fun!" I just woke up when she sent me that mail but I wanted to meet her so badly, I just threw myself in the shower, finished in one hour and ran to the station with the traincard in one hand and the breakfast in the other.

I met Rika and Jonna in Shibuya. It was so great to see them both again, I missed them <333
Then I got to meet Jonna's boyfriend who was really nice. We went to an Izakaya and ordered a food course and nomihoday which is all you can drink. Then we continued to take purikura and we split up, me and Rika doing an allnighter, ending up meeting people, going to another izakaya and karaoke. It was really fun. I love you guys <3

Tadaima!

It's a pain in the ass to travel to Japan, at least I think so. First we had to wait in Denmark for four hours, then we had to sit on the airplane for another 11 hours. You get really tired. Anyway, when we reached Japan, me and Rina were both very tired. It's a relief to leave the plane until you realize that you have to do a lot of stuff before being able to get your luggage and get out of there, not to mention the two hours busride before you reach Tokyo. So yeah, it's tough. *laughs* Anyway, we got out of there, and while waiting for a friend that I hadn't met before, I had to overcome my fear of calling and talk to the house manager. So I did, and we decided to meet so he could show us our apartment. Then Ces, my friend came and picked us up. She is so beautiful, she took my breathe away. Such an awsome person! We took the bus to Shinjuku, and a cab from there to where we live now, in Suginami-ku. It's about 20 minutes from Shinjuku, a small place but really nice. I didn't like it at first but now I love it.

Ces followed us all the way, we met the manager, he showed us around, we paid the first rent and then he left. Then my friend wanted us to come with her to Hiro-o to meet her friends. We were both DEAD tired but we wanted to go so I hurried to change clothes and then we went by train to the place, walking for about five minutes before reaching a high building, looking very luxurious. It was actually a really big, fancy hotel for the US Army and people can't enter without a special card and ID. So we waited for Ces vocal teacher to get us. She was really nice to talk to and I could see right away why people liked her. She's been working with a lot of artists, such as Miyavi so we talked a little about him. She thought it was weird that I like him. Lol. But maybe people who works with him doesn't see him at the same way. And besides, he's been my inspiration for such a long time, so it's hard to just change the road so to speak. But I do love the stories.

We also met another friend and singer called Ty. So beautiful, talanted and funny. Together we walked around in the stores of the hotel and I got some schampoo and other stuff for a really good price. Then we went to their restaurant to eat their buffé which, since it's the military eating it, were really healthy and good food. I wish I could eat that everyday!!

We ended our time at the bar before Ces had to go to work, we being there to talk to Ty for a while before taking the train home. And we were so dead when reaching our apartment. And oh by the way, the apartment is a one room, kitchen, but it's really nice. Rina sleeps in a normal bed and I'm on the floor next to her (in the corner) sleeping on a futon and I love it so much. I sleep really good here. We still have a few things to by, like hangers and carpets, etc etc but we'll go to IKEA one day.

I love Japan!!!!
