What's actually really funny about me liking Kpop these days is that when I was in Arama, a long time ago, I was one of the more vocal people calling for no more Kpop in Japan posts. Of course, the mindless stans always accused us of hating Kpop and that's why we didn't want it in there. At the time, I DID hate Kpop, but that's not why I didn't want it in Arama. And guess what? Today, I would be the same way. I would also want it banned from the comm. And pretty much all the groups I like have released something in Japan and I've even liked some of it. But my opinion would remain the same.

See how fucking easy it is to NOT be a hypocrite? Amazing huh. Maybe people don't know what being a hypocrite is. It's not backtracking on a previous opinion or changing your mind. What it is is when you fail to apply the same standards for one thing to another thing. It's like the Kpop fans who went ham on Jackson for having dreads and then staying mysteriously silent when Kai did the same thing. It would be me, now a fan of Kpop, staying silent when other people call for the end of Kpop posts in a Japan-centric comm. It's like when you bring up a religious text to condemn something you don't like, but then ignore that it also condemns things you DO like. I hate hypocrites probably more than anything else on this planet. And I often wonder if these people are just incredibly stupid and unaware of their hypocrisy or what. Bc Idk how you can be aware of something that is such a mental failure and keep doing it.

Anyway, I'm going through PSCK albums and singles today lol. Some three months ago or so I pretty much decided to quit pretending that I care about any other music right now other than Kpop. Like, I'll take listening breaks, but continuing to collect albums and not listen to them seemed like an incredible waste of time and harddrive space so I stopped. I'll probably regret it if my Kpop standom shrinks someday, but I kinda think it won't and well I'll deal with that then lol. For future reference, the singles I liked:

- Blu-BiLLioN — The Awakening of Revolution
- BAND-MAID — Daydreaming
- KinKi Kids — The Red Light
- DaizyStripper — AGAIN
- SHISHAMO — Bye Bye
- Nissy — 17th Kiss

So the Onew thing got more interesting. Now it's the boyfriend who reported Onew and the girl was allegedly dancing ON his table. I rather wonder if the boyfriend or anyone else would have bothered if it wasn't Onew, but some rando. I kinda doubt it. IN fact, the silence from places going ham on it is deafening. The boyfriend doing the reporting rather makes it obvious that it was about money, imo.

 Finished up with the Grand Cross disc and well, it really never got any better. Hyde was not particularly on for any of the songs, even ibara no namida, which he usually nails.  Like I said, that shrill vocal tone was seriously his undoing in some of those older lives.  Just a very lackluster live really.  Then moved onto and watched all of the Awake tour, which holy cow, so much better than the official release, let me count the ways.  I was totally disappointed with that one when it came out.  I don't think I ever watched it again after the first time through.

So this one!  In a smaller venue, for starters, the Liquidroom, so none of the stupid ridiculous visuals and clothing changes, just straight playing.  Did Hyde actually say he doesn't like to wear the same thing twice?  Idk where that got started because if he did, he was obviously trying to be funny or his memory is really bad.  He was wearing the same thing as he was in Asialive, minus the trench coat.  Tetsu was wearing pajamas.  Like, um.  Anyway, for the most part this live was really good, in terms of Hyde, setlist, serious playing, Ken improving like crazy.  As One is fucking terrible though.  Hyde should be ashamed he ever barfed out that song.

On the other hand, Ophelia is not bad live, more interesting than it is recorded for sure.  Ken backing for My Dear was funny though.  He starts out on the right notes but when he gets to the end of the line, it's like he's just yelling and no note to be found lol.  And Hyde is so annoying when he leaves Tetsu hanging with either the uber low notes or super shrill notes in RSG.  LIke, omg that sounds so awkward without the main vocal, don't stop singing Hyde.  Ugh, jerk.

I did like the setlist too, Stay Away and Lost Heaven back to back, two of my favorite songs.  Ahh yeah.
