Second Thoughts
The two X-Japan CDs arrived today.The first one I put on was the 'X-Japan on piano' CD, and went straight to 'Tears'.

It's not exactly what I was expecting, but I knew it wasn't going to be the kareoke version of the original release. It's more like the instrumental versions of the Evangelion theme that played at the end of the last episode- quite a different arrangement, but still very nice.

I think I can still sing to it- it'll be slightly easier in a way- the instrumental's edited to be only 4 and a halfn minutes, whereas the vocal track goes on to about six and a half minutes, and that's not including the extensive orchestral sequence at the end. That would be far too long, especially seeing as we've only 45 minutes to perform the show.

I guess it's just as well I didn't choose Art of Life ^_^; That's 28 minutes long.

The thing is... Whilst I was listening to the proper "Tears" track on the 'X Japan Best ~Fan's Selection~', I began wondering whether I should really be doing this. It's probably become my favourite song (many thanks to wrist cutter to putting it on his MyO ages ago, heh). John seemed alright with the idea of me singing a non-English song, but when he first told us about the audition he did say that it didn't have to be in English. I just wonder whether I'll actually be able to perform it. And if I can, I don't want to do it badly, as I think it would be a great direspect to the band and the song itself. Basically, I need to feel more confident in my abilities. It's easy when you're on school holidays to just sink into the sofa watching anime and forget about everything you actually have to do, but I know I shouldn't get into that. Seeing as I actually have time I should use it as best I can, and that's what I hope to do. Practice, rehearse, work and relax...

Yeah, that sounds good. I want to write too. 'Art of Life' has got me thinking about Dark Conflict again, which is good. I've not written any of that in ages...

Pfft, so much angst. I should really stop worrying about what I have to deal with- it's trivial stuff, and once I pull my finger out it'll become nothing of a problem anyway ^_^

To biscuits!
