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)

942238_10151471274993445_338969580_n


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

2. DESIRE

Encore:
14. Last March
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 >.<

Plunklock & Calmando Qual @ Tivoli Spiegelbar 19 May 2013



HIIIII EVERYONE, so after not updating my blog for a while, being busy with all kind of stuff, I AM BACK with an awesome post about seeing PLUNKLOCK & CALMANDO QUAL LIVE. yes LIVE. Another Visual Kei band, well 2 actually came to The Netherlands. This time the bands went to Tivoli Spiegelbar located in Utrecht.

First of all Plunklock started to hype up the concert by performing Breakout and then aiiro regret (my most favourite songs). I can't remember the whole set list for both bands, because for Plunklock we were only allowed to take pictures and make films of the first 2 songs. We were allowed to take pictures of Calmando Qual, not sure if we were allowed to film but I didn't film since I forgot because I was too into their performance, I did take pictures. So be prepared for A LOT OF PICTURES.

I was standing quite close to the stage which was amazing, unfortunately I am small so some people in front of me were in the way (the negative thing of being small >.<). But I was able to see them up close so I was happy no complaints. Before the performance there was this German guy that was telling us what we can do and what we coudn't do he also made a lot of funny jokes. Pinky got on stage first and of course I was fangirling inside of me since I find Pinky so cute, next was Haruka that got on stage, then Seishou the new guitarist. Ever since I heard that there was a new guitarist that joined Plunklock I was so excited to see him in person since I saw a lot of pictures of him on the internet. Last but not least Halo came on stage and got the crowed totally hyped up.

So after the 2 songs they kept on performing for about an hour and the more songs they played the more crazier the crowd was (including me) they were all so amazing on stage, it seems everything is perfect ^_^" Also Pinky, Haruka, Haro (Halo) either way and Seishou they looks so much more handsome and cute and perfect in real live than on a computer screen.

ALSO THE PICTURES OF PLUNKLOCK THAT I AM ABOUT TO POST ARE NOT MINE EXCEPT I STATED IT, CREDIT GOES TO THE OWNERS, THEY ARE FROM EITHER PLUNKLOCK THEMSELVES OR THEY ARE FROM GAI LINH BUI, SABRINA DLHPLK AND MOOSHY SOUP. I GOT IT FROM THE FACEBOOK PG THAT YOU CAN click here PLEASE DON'T TAKE THEM WITHOUT PERMISSION.

When Plunklock finished playing the went of stage and Calmando Qual was preparing the stage by setting up their instruments, we were waiting about 10 minutes when Calmando Qual was on  the stage everyone was already screaming but they were actually still setting up. After some time, Maya started playing the drum, he played for about 2 minutes or so before Hibiki started screaming to make de crowed go crazy. Since I moved more to the middle I was right in front of Hibiki, well more or less the 2nd rows but it was close to Hibiki. At some point Hibiki was drinking and gave the bottle to a girl standing in front of me she drank it and gave it back. Hibiki asked who wasn't it as well, of course I screamed I wanted as well but being short was my disadvantage and was unable to get the bottle. But there was some point that Hibiki's body was like half way over the stage, (on top of the crowd) he was like 5cm away from my phone then. Since I wasn't sure and I forgot to take videos but instead I took a lot of pictures, a lot of the pictures I took are Tak (guitarist). At some point Hibiki was doing a small intro and Tak did a small solo, which I filmed but it was like 6 seconds the video, which was of course better than nothing. At some point we smelled something burning and apparently a wire broke so from  K-个's bass, so Hibiki was trying to entertain us and gave his microphone to Maya (drums). He was trying to entertain us by screaming some stuff in the microphone until his voice cracked which was so cute.

THE PICTURES THAT ARE BEING POSTED AFTER THIS ARE ALL MINE, PLEASE DON'T TAKE THEM WITHOUT PERMISSION

At the end they gave handshake to everyone, after me and my little brother got our handshakes we went to get our jackets but a friend of mine was still inside so I got back inside, so I end up skahing their hands twice, also after I shaked Pinky's hands for the second time I made a heart shape with my hands and he also did it back to me, and Seishou did it as well since he stood next to Pink, so sweet of them and Haro (Halo) he gave a really cute handshake and touched my head.
