Have any picture suggestions for: Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride? It doesn't have to be Gackt! It does have to be a Jrock artist and a big enough scan for a 1440x900 wall! | |

Premise of book written from child's perspective? Brilliant.
Photos of story's characters? Beautiful.
Photoshoping on aforementioned photos? Embarrassing.
I hadn't realized it until I got the photos scanned and blown up, but the tweaks done on these photos look like they were carried out by some first week graphics art student! Its bad! Its really fricking bad!
-and why am I mentioning this? Because the many visible texture edges, random blurs and giant pre-rendered-texture pixels ARE NOT MY DOING. ITS THERE, in the original. YIKES.Still though, beautiful photos. Oh and of course, the usual rules apply: NO HOT LINKING NO REPOSTING Feel free to use for graphics, etc. But PLEASE remember to credit. | |

>>DOWNLOAD FULL SIZE FILES<<
Warning: individual files are 30+ MB in size
Since there's suddenly so much interest in this thing, I've gone ahead and scanned it. Haha... insane? Why no, I'm just special! :D Ah my kingdom for a giant flatbed scanner. Anyway... FEEL FREE TO USE FOR GRAPHICS, ETC. But credit would be good. *hint hint*DO NOT HOTLINK ANY FILES. DO NOT REPOST WITHOUT PERMISSION. This calendar took my friend and I nearly a day to scan, piece back together and retouch. If you repost these without permission, I will find out about it and I won't be pleased when I do. Fear the wrath of the crazy lady. :D | |

No you're not hallucinating. I have indeed turned out a new wall.
My god, I remember I used to post two or three a month! But lately it seems I just have to wait around for inspiration to kick me in the ass! Hah! You might say that this one was a roundhouse kick!
I thought I should add a little explanation for those of you who haven't followed the RRII story.
There are two main characters in the RR storyline. Proto of RRI and Zero of RRII. This is Zero. Check HERE for the full story.
When Proto rebels (killing a high ranking general) and is lost at the end of RRI, the the scientists who created him are desperate to avoid repercussions from the military.
When they happen across a young soldier who looks like Proto, they immediately kidnap and murder him; using his body to recreate their last experiment.
This wall represents a flashback or perhaps a nightmare. If you look closely at the images in the background, you'll see what the flashback is about!

Scans are from Fool's Mate March 2009, the RRII tour pamphlet and were scanned by me! | |

Happy Sunday. Its scan time. ^^ This one was a pain in the ass, but I think the scans still came out pretty nice. ^^ | |

I've seen a few quick summaries of the ЯR story posted over the past week, but they've all had a few obvious time line mistakes and failed to cite any sources, so I've decided to make my own article public. I wrote this a while back, but not all of you have seen it, since it was filtered. Sources are from: The ЯRI Tour Document, The ЯRII Tour Document, Asakura's Report, The ЯRI & ЯRII concerts and additional promotional materials. Direct source are cited by quote in the article and direct links to all sources can be found at the bottom of the article. So without further adieu:
( The Story of Requiem et Reminiscence... ) | |

Yes, a new wall. Finally. This one is dedicated to "My Fathers Day" from the Koakuma Heaven single.... because that song is to precious for words, it really is. ^^ You know whats really annoying? Freak power outages... just as you're about to save an hour and a half of work. *stabs local power grid* | |

Now that I’ve ingested the equivalent of two pots of coffee and spent hours mulling over the ЯRI and ЯRII material (my god Gackt, your writing style is going to give me a migraine one day), I think its time for me to throw in my two cents in a more serious fashion. There’s a panic going on in the fandom over the uniforms and other Nazi symbolism in The ЯR tour. However, very few of the overseas fans who are currently so worked up, have: seen the concerts and or been able to understand what was being said during them or had available to them Materials (such as the tour pamphlet) related to ЯR or for that matter translations of those materials.
Incidentally, they are panicking over the anti Nazi, anti war storyline that Gackt has created. I’m sure they’ll be plenty of people who’ll laugh off what I’m about to put across, but then again I also know that there are a lot of very intelligent, free thinking individuals on my friends list, who don’t have their heads too far up their own asses to stop a listen for second. So let me begin:
First there’s all there’s a mountain of denial going around about the whole uniform nonsense.
“It’s not a Nazi uniform, it’s a Russian uniform.” “They’re not Nazis; they’re a fictional German military group…” “Blah blah blah….”
ENOUGH. In both ЯRI and ЯRII, the band members wear the uniforms of the Allgemeine SS and portray characters who are members of Nazi Third Reich.
There is no arguing these points. They are confirmed by the official tour documents.
ЯRII Tour Document, PART FIVE, In reference to Proto (main character of ЯRI):
“His rank had been promoted from Senior Assault Leader when he was a human to Staff Captain…”
“The 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich Proto was attached to were active on the Eastern Front…”
ЯRII Tour Document, PART SEVEN, in reference to Proto:
“The young man was admitted from the National Defence Force into the 2nd Armoured SS Division Das Reich.”
“Then, with a roaring sound, a low flying spy plane suddenly appeared, opening fire with it's machine guns as soon as it identified the young man's SS uniform.”
ЯRII Tour Document, PART ELEVEN, in reference to ZERO (main character of ЯRII):
“The young man was a member of the 17. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division "Götz von Berlichingen…”
ЯRII Tour Document, Proto and Zero's military records:
PROTO:
“Born 07/04/1917”
“Enlisted in the army in 1939, officer of the Voluntary Labour Corps. Admitted into 2nd SS-Panzer-Division Das Reich.”
ZERO:
“Born 25/12/1918”
“Japanese-German. Recruited from voluntary labour corps as an emergency wartime conscript in June 1941. Member of German National Defence Force's Armoured Instructional Brigade 9's Mechanised Infantry Battalion 92.”
Oh and on an amusing side note, in the prologue of the ЯRII tour document where Gackt Describes the scene in the opening movie of ЯRI, he makes a teeny historical blunder:
“…the man, who was wearing the uniform of an officer of the Waffen-SS…”
In the opening of ЯRI, as in the rest of the tour Gackt wears a black Allgemeine SS uniform, not a Waffen SS uniform. The uniforms of the Waffen SS were grey-green.
Okay so now that we have that out of the way, lets move on to a more pertinent matter:
