Joining Visual Kei Heaven

 

First of all a small information what VKH is :

Visual Kei Heaven (VKH) is a Visual Kei focused blog working with a team of bloggers from all around the world. Our goal is to bring you the latest Japanese Rock and Visual Kei news. We debuted in 2010, but we have been growing fast. We aim to be a high quality website that promote Visual Kei and Japanese artists worldwide.""


So VKH (Visual Kei Heaven) is a non profit blog. Recently I have joined the staff memeber list of VKH as a live crew. As a live Crew I will be doing  reviewing lives, concerts, events, attend conventions and host interviews with bands. But since I am from the Netherlands, and that Visual Kei isn't that popular here and since I personally want to stay active, I also from time to time post articles about bands with new looks, bringing out new CD, etc, etc.

Eventhough I have joined VKH I will keep this blog running of course.  For anyone that want to go and read the site http://www.visualkeiheaven.us/

BORN blame for eye ball licking ?!

So I am sure that most of you have already heard/read about one of the most strangest headlines at the moment. BORN (Visual Kei band from Japan) are being blamed for the most recent trend that is going around in Japan. Eyeball licking *GROSS*
So it apparently all started with one of their PV Spiral Lie. where their vocalist Ryoga who is tied on a chair and a girl who is playing around with him and eventually licks his eyeball. Also the PV is almost 2 yrs old now so I really don't get why they are being blamed on.
There were articles all around on the internet, such as the following (list just keeps going on & on )
The Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/ ... agers-sick
CBS News: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-204_162-575 ... ness-risk/
Time: http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/06/14/eye ... k-eye-too/
Fox News: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2013/06/1 ... olescents/
ABC News: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2013 ... age-sight/
The Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/06 ... 36372.html
Even though that whole eyeball licking is gross, I don't understand why people would do it, especially you can transmit bacteria 2x as fast since the eyeball is one of the most sensitive parts of the human body and the tongue isn't exactly bacteria free. Also you can get blind of it. Also the trend tend to happen with elementary students which makes is more weird that they will do it because of BORN. As the trend is weird and disgusting, I think that the people shouldn't blame BORN for it, especially since the PV came out almost 2 yrs ago that is some time back already. While it is getting a trend not long ago. So I actually thing its ridiculous to blame BORN for it but there must be another reason why it has turned into a trend recently.
So what do you think about the whole "BORN being blamed on eyeball licking" trend. Comment to let me know.

HITT @ 330Live (The Hague, The Netherlands) (06/06/2013)

YAAAAAY another concert to add to my list I have been to ^_^.

First of all the concert was amazing. HITT is so much more handsome in real life than on picture. He is also super nice he had a lot of fan interaction, super nice of him. So let me start from the beginning. First of all it was said that we can film and take pictures of the first 2 songs because HITT want us to enjoy the concert and don't want to see a lot of cameras in his face. So I of course filmed/took pictures the first 2 songs. I don't remeber if it was the 3rd or 5th song, he pulled a girl on stage and kept turning her and then gave her a hug. Afterwards he pulled me on stage and start making me dance ^_^" and then gave me a hug (I am still kinda in shock of that) when I was on stage my mind went blank and didn't know what to do. Afterwards he pulled a guy on stage and was clapping to the song and he also received a hug from HITT.  Someone screamed that he isn't called HITT but HOT XD

15. My name is HITT

A group of girls gave HITT a mirror with a small message on the back, and throughout the night he was using that mirror instead of his own (so nice of him) and he kept say "So Handsome" in the mirror. At some point he was having a drink and he wanted to sit down and he fell (I think he did it on purpose) and he found a string on the stage (someone threw that on stage) and he called them pervert. It was such a funny moment, he then put the string on over his pants (awkward moment), he did take them of afterwards.

Whenever he is taking a break to have a drink he will have a small interaction with the fans. At some point there was a girl who had kind of a lease on her and HITT pulled her on stage. He told her to bark and then the girl barked but then she meowed. HITT was like a dog or a cat? At the end of the concert he said that he doesn't want to leave and that he is going to take that girl with him to Japan (then everyone said they want to go with him)

                            

I bought some merchandise of course. I bought bought a t-shirt, pictures, 2 CD, DVD delux edition (which comes in a pretty bag) and last I was able to take a polaroid picture with him and got it signed <3 When we were taking pictures he kept looking at me with puppy eyes, at that time I totally was lost at words couldn't say anything at all except hi ^_^"  (I know this sound really weird but he smell extremely nice) After the concert and taking picture with him, me and my friends went outside the venue, at some point HITT came out to leave for his hotel (which was around the corner) he said goodbye to us and waved at us. After that I asked my little brother if he knew where he went and he said end of the street >.< I was waiting for my parents to pick me up and Me and my friends happen to stand outside his hotel place and we didn't knew at all. At some point he came down (leaving around 00:30) he saw us and came to us to say goodbye and shaked our hands again, he was packing up everything into the car. I wanted to wait until he left and waved at him but then my parents arrived >.<

          

At the end I had an amazing concert + day, he promised to come back again next time <3
