Japan in Technicolor.

The world in japan was swirling in my eyes,
in every color in sight.
I loved it so..

Drawn in Watercolour.

The Journey Recorded.

Japan was nothing short of awesome.
Words can't explain, but a video can! enjoy.

The Things I'll Miss.

I'll miss the Red Sun, the Noodles, and the Kawaii Maids;

but i'll always cherish and remember the beauty in snow.

Kinky in the Greatest Way.

Japan.
The home of the most kinkest costumes,

the cutest girls with the most gentle smiles,

in businesses waiting to only serve you.

gotta love it.

Those Warm Hands Will Ignite the Flames in the Heart.

Love. The everlasting story that has drawn both unity and blood; conflict and compassion; delight and rage as it is only a nature part of human nature to grow and bloom or subside and mature out of these unknown feelings entitled “Love.” It can be used for the public demographic or recorded for a pornographic, it could be maintain from years of growth or acquired just for the right price. It has a spider web of meanings, stretching out and growing by the day. Easily recognized as the compassion of a couple, maintained by a constant interest with each other; expressing their affection with symbols that my include gifts, physical contact, and occasional sexual favors. However, some people question the morality of love. Wither it is from homosexually or necrophilia, erotomania or pedophilia, it is quite obvious that love has no bounds and no control on a person, and powerful enough to push man to the greatest delight, or depressingly off a ledge. It is the apex of human emotions as it embodies many human traits such as compassion, consolation, jealously, depression, and anger. In our living history, dating back to Adam & Eve, love has been no big secret yet its disposition remains quite elusive, as it remains as the missing link to human solace.

Christmas Trees in Disneyland.

Disneyland is the most happiest yet most depressing place on earth:

Its happy to see all the sweet japanese chicks,

yet depressing to see them with their boyfriends..

Merry Christmas!

Happy Christmas, Kwanzah, So On and So Forth..

Merry Christmas, Jesus!

Good Crazy in Japan.

Japan is going good.

Factory.

They were post-modern, before it was fashionable. They were the image of a movement; of something fresh and lush. They created so many things in the music world, and somewhat inserted there affuence even into the American music scene, but more or less, it rised up to change the face of British music. My usual readers, if there even are any, probably won't get too much what i'm talking about at the moment, but you should probably read more..

Factory Records, was born out the ferosity of rise of punk music, classic punk in the musically changing late 70s. Tony Wilson, the mastermind came to pour his heart and soul into the this new movement of music and art if you will. He formed a partnership with 4 others, but definitly as equally important (not grammarly correct, but who gives a crap about it?). Alan Erasmas, a good friend of Wilson and was the first to get on board with new idea, but he's not the highest public profile but understood the confidence Wilson had. Next we have Rob Gretton, manager to the label's first band, the uber-godly Joy Division, who would later become New Order. Martin Hannett, the label's legendary producer, who produced almost everyone on the label, and produced a sound that would not only give to Factory's image, but revolusionary in music producing. And finally, there was Peter Saville, the label's graphic designer who had designed everything from the posters, to album covers, to club tickets to just about everything.

In 1981, Factory reached an early peak with the rise of the post-punk movement with bands on their lineup, such as Joy Division, the Duruti Column, A Certain Ratio, and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. But of course, all good things come to an end. Just before their first American tour, Ian Curtis, their legendary lead man, hanged himself at his home. The death caused everything but the spirit of Factory (if your curious about it, go see the movie Control). Out of the ashes of Joy Division, came New Order. Nobody expected anything out them, but in turn they became one of the greatest musical bands to come out of Britain, and ultimately the flagship for Factory. But was just the first act in this story.

In late 1981, Fac 51, aka The Hacienda, opened with lukewarm attendence. But evenually warms up to the public. Slowly, with the rise Acid House music and in the mist of the Madchester genre, the Happy Mondays became the second biggest band in the scene (everyone knows the Stone Roses were the better band) had a sound with rock and funk that eventually caught on and became quite contagous all over the UK. Sadly, both the club and their biggest bands were the cause of Factory's demise, as they were critically acclaim, but never made so much of a profit. Factory ended in '97, but their legend still lives on as the flagship for the freedom of individuality, pursuing dreams, and other huge blah. Factory shall live on.

Late on Arrival.
