   Isogashii....
I'm very horrible at keeping up with everyone on here, aren't I? I give my apologies once again, and I'll probably continue giving apologies until June when school is finally over for me. For good. Scary.

Anyway, all I've been doing is sleeping, eating, studying and working on my demo which is due in a few short weeks. It's been rough, but hopefully, this'll be the chance that'll change the rest of my life, as cliche as that sounds. All I can do really is do my best and pray that things work out fine, and if it doesn't, I guess I'll just have to conform and find a job that I honestly wouldn't like until I can finance future film projects and hit up all the film festivals around the world.

But I'd much rather have this demo/audition thing work out because I'd rather concentrate on music anyhow.

Also coming up in a few weeks is Fanime Con, which I've already pre-registered with, but I'm a little disappointed with the short list of musical guests. ZZ is cool, and I have yet to hear Kato Kumiko to form an opinion, but last year there were 5 different bands on their lineup, all of whom were pretty damn cool. And although ZZ and Kato Kumiko are sure to be just as good, they've totally got to step up since attendents are already comparing this year to last year, and last year is something that'll be totally hard to beat, especially when Fanime had the crowd favorites in Camino and Duel Jewel. Camino and Duel Jewel were the only reasons I went to Fanime in the first place last year.

I know I'll personally find the audience's reaction a lot more entertaining since it is part of my job as an image producer to see what people favor. From what I've been hearing so far, a lot of people are disappointed in the choices of musical guests, especially since a lot of these people have been asking Fanime to bring back some sort of Visual Kei band, and there aren't any at all this year. Fanime, made by the fans for the fans, right?

However, I think it's great that Fanime didn't do that especially since Japanese music doesn't just consist of VK bands, which I sometimes think is a misconception perceived by many if one attends these kinds of things without having any knowledge on Japanese music. So I'm all for having ZZ and Kato Kumiko. But as a fan, it'll be hard not to compare their performances to those from last year. However, the one thing that I'm totally happy about with this year's choices is that MusicFest probably won't be inundated with fake fangirls who suddenly decide then and there that they're so-and-so's biggest fan because the band is hot, or some shit.

Anyway, enough babble from me. I've got to get back to studying, especially since I've got a quiz tomorrow on these articles I have yet to read...The one thing I will not miss about college is all this crappy theory shit that I probably won't remember a month after graduation.
