[pinkkillerkisou]

^.^ aint he just? *pats him on the head* i'm planning to make a blushie in the summer ^^; *is sad*
thanks for yah comment... i just feel, maybe i should be able to understand why so many people dislike them... because if i'm gunna go around blabing about their brillience, i need to see what other people see as their bad point... it makes sence to me ^^;
but... i really didnlt think they could be seen as boring... but... i guess some people must do....

yeah, pura is deff the best to listen to going to sleep (well... that and miyavi... but that's me.... and x-japan) ryu's voice is so relaxing, i just get completely lost in it.

Blushie??? What is that? :?
...yea they are relaxing. There just not a band I listen to when I am actually wanting to really listen to the music... I've tried... I get really spacy and lose focus and start staring at cracks in the wall and stuff.

heh, yeah, pura'll do that to you... but... have you heared melencholic and Sangatsu Itsuka? thoses two for me i'm thinking are my faves... but yeah...

heh, a blushie... like, a cuddly toy i can take everywhere and nurse it and feed it, and tuck it into bed and hug when i feel sad and love for ever and ever and ever and always ^.^

 

[Illaparatzo-sama]

Uh, that's a plushie.

 

[furan]

Uh, that's a plushie.

... *sigh* sorry... it's my spelling again... i knew that, honest, i'm not just being a sorry loser.
dyslexia *not an excuse, i'm better than that* can be a pain some times.. i get me 'd's 'b's 'p's mixed up, through speeking as well >.<
atashi wa baka desu ne, thanx for correting me, i really appreciate it *nods*

 

[pinkkillerkisou]

Oh... a plushie.
I see...

 

[furan]

Oh... a plushie.
I see...

heh ^^; sorry... yeah, don't hesitate to point out my mistakes... i have a habbit of sounding off about something when in reality i don't really know
pluss my spelling smells worse than *thinks* umm... something really smelly.. o, yeah me after i've been working on the yard all day *worked at a riding school*

.....

um... i'm slightly hesitant about bringint this thread back up but... don't worry, i'm not gunna try and force them in your face again like i did Kagrra,.... i've come to accept that Pura just isn't for some people....

but... i recently got my hands on the 20 page Kagrra, special edition of the Soxx magazine, volume 151.....
and i was so distracted by the utter beauty of their picture on the front page i didn't even notice the other bands mentioned on the cover.... but when i did i nearly burst into tears to see the mane 'Plastic Tree' pringted right above the katakana for MUCC...

anyway.... when i finaly got used to the fact i had images of Plastic Tree in the magazine that was now sitting in my lap, and looked at them all properly, then tryed to work out if i recognized any Kanji (of cause i didn't).... i noticed this -

now... um, you can't read the last word all that well, but it does actually say 'final'

....... shamfully i dont know half as much about Pura as i do Kagrra,, and i don;t have a constant supply of updated knowledge on them.... but please tell me that this word is just refering to their final tour in the year?
please...?
don't tell me Plastic Tree are dispatching.....
lie to me if you have to.....

i know to a lot of you it'll make no difference but..... this band means more to me than you'll ever know... i have tears in my eyes just tyoing this thing....
please... someone reasure me?

 

[hebiichigo]

Don't worry Fran, I think it's just the Tour Final

I got an email from CDJapan the other day telling me they are releasing 2 CDs (I think they are "greatest hits" collection) called "shiroban" and "kuroban" on October 26.. Although I can't find anything on the official site ☝

 

[Dollporn]

I got some Japanese magazine with pictures from FINAL concerts. I'm pretty sure it only means like the last show of the tour or something *pats on head*
I think Puras pretty nice by the way. Merankorikkuru(Melancolid) is listed as one of my favourite j-rock songs of all.
But if I listen to them for too long I'll fall asleep...

*tackles* than you thank you thank you


o, that makes me feel so much better *phew*

lol, sorry, it's just..... its Pura... if they were to go.... i don't know how i'd survive....
(having said this... i think i lost their new... or new as far as i know, PV and i still don't have the single *humff*)

aw, and thanks Dollporn ^.^
yeah... for a long time wen i couldn't sleep, the only thing that would help me was Pura and ReS... but... i honestly couldn't say why i love them so much.... i think there's something amazing about Ryu's ability to but foword so much emotion by... in reality doing so little...
he just has this... 'aura' about him...

 

[hebiichigo]

I'd be upset if they were to disband, too.. Although maybe less than you would be.. (But I think when Dir en grey disband I will be completely useless for a long time...) Let's just live in denial that it will ever happen ok?? OKAAY? lol XD

I love Ryutaro's lyrics.. and I love the lyrics to "comic youth" which are actually by Akira ... yeah you know I'm a lyric-*****..

 

[furan]

yeah... they'll never break up.... they've been together for over 10 years... it would be stupid, they're obviously gunna live fore ever

yeah... i love that the other members write the lyrics too... it's really great that it's not just Ryu all the time... an that it's a complete group thing ^.^
like, Symphasis... that's written by Tadashi
wonder if Buchii's gunna come up with something one of these days... :?

tho.. i was kinda confised by all those other random people writing songs for them... you could really tell that it wasn't Ryu tho... i mean... the lyrics (even tho i couldn't understand a word of it) were completely different... still good songs... just... i dnno... they were different for Pura... or different for waht tey were doing at the time anyways...

but i think you can tell when Ryu hasn't written the song too...
like... when you listen to Harusaki Sentimental.. there's no denying that he wrote that, lol... but then songs like comic youth... i guess.. the others write the more 'up beat' songs, lol.
bah, i dunno...

 

[hebiichigo]

ah.. do you mean like Baka ni natta no ni and Moshimo piano ga hiketa nara? Or something else? lol. I always thought those were just cover songs ☝

hmm.. In 'comic youth'.. the lyrics are not exactly that... cheery lol But yeah the music is up beat A lot of my fave Pura songs were written by Akira actually.. at least the music
If I think about my absolute fav Pura song... it would probably be Chiriyuku Bokura :haihai:

 

[furan]

*nods*
yuhu, i ment them songs....
lol... and they very well could be cover songs...
*actually knows very little about them*

... do they even have an lj community? i know there was a Ryu one... and there's an Akira one... but... i don't think they themselves have one... and all the fan sites i finde are just Ryutaro fan sites... i mean, Harusaki.org was great.. but i can't get on there anymore for some reason...
so... i have no up-to-date info, and only what i remeber reading from there....

lol, i don't think Pura could do a 'cheery' song even if they tryed XD (well... unless Akira wrote something about raman, lol )
but, yeah... i dunno what i ment... because Ryu's written plenty of songs that have a pretty up beat baking to them...

yeah, i really like Akira's music... but i hae no idea what i'd say my fave song was....
horrible truth is i've only heared *thinkgs* about 55 songs?
my friend cut me off... now i'm not aloud any more untill i go and buy everything.... *whimpers* that's like... 10 albums and god knows how many singles..... i think she's mean and insane... yet she's still right *humff*
i have shiro kuro nikuru album tho ^.^

hmm... i dunno... i always forget it's real name, but it's sometimes calle March 5th? i think that's on of my faves... but i adore Planiterium to... and... Cream... god, there's so many

 

[hebiichigo]

lol YES there is a Pura commu!
kurage
all this time you didn't know?

yeah.. I can't find many Pura sites that work anymore

lol...hmm.. "uwa no sora" has sort of up beat lyrics? maybe? lol It has a sort of... happy but still a bit sad feeling.. lol ^^;;

There are Pura songs I haven't heard, too.. I have 4 of their albums (and two copies of Cell umm.. what happened was I bought a 'regular' version over the net while I was in Aus, and then when I went to Japan I found a first press version in a CD store and of course I had to buy it.. god I spent so much time in record stores in Japan ) but yeah.. they have so many songs ☝

March 5th.. Sangatsu itsuka? that's a great song too Another one I love is Kuuhaku no Hi...

 

[furan]

ahhhhhh *joins hurridly*
*tackles* THANK YOU!
*weeps* now i can maybe finaly lern all i need to about them - hapy cry

yeah, i's depressing... it's like... where are you all?

*staes wide eyes* 4.... albums? 2...... Cell?
omigod.... i hope i have enough to get all the CDs i want and like, another 4 Pura ontop of that... tho i'm worried a few of them are out of press....
lol, but what d'you think of the bonous track on Cell?
i was SHOCKED to say the least when i heard it, lol... i forgot i was listening to Pura... they haven't done a song like that in..... well.... ages! lol
(i even sent it to pkk and her reaction was: ........ i'm inlove.....


Sangatsu itsuka, yes that's the one
no idea what he's saying... althoght! i did recognise the first word! *is proud*
i dunno... i love the changes in tempo in it...

hee hee YES!
thanks ever so much for the translation btw, i can't remeber if i ever did thank you
but i do, i really love that one.. o, and Tsumetai Hikari... i adore that one too

haha, we could probably go on forever listing their songs

 

[hebiichigo]

yep... Hide and Seek, toromerai, shirokuronikuru and Cell is what I have... I have some singles... I think if you look in the right places you can find their older CDs, cause I only bought Hide and Seek last year in Japan... and I think they had other older ones too. Funnily enough it was at the record store called "Closet Child" in Harajuku... lol

xD the bonus track.. yeah it was like... "I thought this was a Pura CD, not Dir en grey??" But I like it It's crazzzyy.

 

[furan]

awww, yay! i was getting worried about Hide and Seek and Strange Fruit.... because tey look like some great albums ^.^
hahaha! awwww
i realy wish i could go this time.... but we're not aloud to go off on our own... which royaly sicks, but... i'll be there, that's all that really matter ^.^


LOL omigod, that was my exact thoughts too!
well... mor like, it just came on and i was like... hmm... i haven't heared this Diru song... it's GREAT
i LOVE it

it's pure awsomeness ^.^

hey, what'd you think of Sanbika?
lol, god.. i'm such a wuss... i cryed so much in that PV.... and they're not even doing anything depressing
i was just so hapy they'd released something ^.^
have they released anymore since?

omigod... you know... i don't even think i've been to their OHP
gees... some 'great fan' i tunred out to be...

 

[hebiichigo]

aww that sucks you won't be able to go off by yourself. but yeah you will still be in Japan.. enjoy it~

I really like Sanbika ^^
The PV.. is good, too I have a crappy quality version tho.
I also liked the other song on the single, "kougousei" (Photosynthesis LOL)

I don't think they've released anything else since then ☝ I wish they would an album, come on!!

Fran you're not a bad fan or anything. Don't worry about that. You ARE a great fan ^^ What matters is that you love their music!

 

[applesauce]

Ah! Finally! A thread on Plastic Tree!
I too, have been hearing less and less of pura.. (the new songs) I seem to like the older songs more
(but that's probably because I have yet to hear new ones )

Ryuutarou has a very beautiful.. and unique voice.. so many jrockers sound similar now.. but one can distinguish his voice right away.. Many may find his rather delicate voice irritating or boring... but, in my opinion, his voice is so very powerful The way he sings the songs... every breath he takes, every note he sings, brings forth an emotion..full of sadness yet calms you down at the same time.. hmm, it's really difficult to explain the sensation Ryuutarou brings you you just have to keep listening, and find out for yourself

And thank goodness... that pura is still together... I am planning a trip to Japan next year... and hopefully, I will be able to catch a few concerts here and there Pura is definitely a first on my list

And a few of my favourite pura songs~ Hmm...
I love "Zetsubou no oka", "tremolo", "tsumetai hikari", "lira no ki", "akai kutsu", "chiriyuku bokura", "veranda"...
...and ..and...so many more

Eeks... it seems like I am spamming a bit too much I shall be quiet now :sorry:

 

[furan]

NO!!!!!!
i'm so GLAD that there are people i can talk about Pura with!
for so long i've been supressed.... so i just let this thread fall to like.... the 6the page

awww, Hebi... nooo, that won't do! *is loading the peoper version for you right now*
and applesauce... you need to see it to, so i'll post it on here
but err... i haven't heared the other song
i don't even have the mp3 of Sanbika
i think i decided i was only going to download PVs of theirs now... but i don;t have many of them either

i got
Planetarium
Yuki Hotaru
Sanbika
Baka ni Natta Noni
Mizuiro Girlfriend
and Slide
........ ☝
yeah, thats it

O! no, i lie, i just got Rocket
i really want Wareta Mado tho

YES! i want them to release another album.... it would be so amazingly amazing....
but... maybe this quiet is a good thing... they're workin hard to come up with an AMAZING new album, that'll just whipe the floor with everything else
(omigod... imagin an album better than Cut and Puppet Show...)

and applesauce, i couldn't agree more with what you say about Ryu's voice.... it's just raw emotion and it really stirs up a lot of feelings inside someone listening... maybe it scares some people, that's why they don;t like them... ....or not

ahh, and thanks hebi
i know... but... when you consider all the info i have on Kagrra,... and Plastic Tree are supposed to be my fovarit band....

 

[hebiichigo]

wowow thanks Fraaaan

I can send you Sanbika and Kougousei.. no.. I will. LOL you have no choice

Only Pura PVs I have are Sanbika and Melancholic.. I did have others but I lost them
But that's really Ok, I don't watch PVs a lot anyhow

haha yes.. they must be working on something.. hopefully go Pura go!........ lol ^^;;;

I think it's just... there isn't a lot of info out there about Pura in English But there's considerably more Kagrra info.. I think.. oh.. what the hell do I know really..

 

[furan]

hee hee no problem!

YA! THANK YOU *tackles*

awww, i could send you some more if you want...
i really don;t mind
but i know what you mean... i like... never watch PVs.... but i think that's more because i can't keep them on my harddrive, so i don't really get the chance too.... hopefully that'll change tho

hee hee yuhu!
Gannbaremasu Pura-sama (i don;t know if that's quite the right word and if that's the correct romanisation, but i got it off Nao so... )

lol, yeah... i guess that makes sence...
it's strange tho.... i mean, Pura are in vertually every issue of Shoxx from what i remeber of like... all the fromt cover scans i've seen.... or if it's not Plastic Tree, it's at least Ryutaro... (which... kinda annoys me.... i love the man more than anything else in the world... but... Plastic Tree's a group effort... so... it annoys me that everyone foccuses just on him....)

 

[hebiichigo]

heh nah its OK, I won't have time to watch them anyway

lol I think what you're looking for is "ganbatte".. the verb is "ganbarimasu" which is like "to work hard to do something" or "to persevere", and if you're telling someone to do their best you can say to them "ganbatte (kudasai)" or "ganbare" in some situations... SO yeah we would say "ganbatte" to Pura
If you're saying that you will persevere to do something/at something it would be "ganbarimasu" (polite) or "ganbaru" ("impolite")
WOW Long-winded explanation ends here!

I know what you mean. There is a lot of focus on Ryutaro.. I guess it's because he is the vocalist .. I dunno.. I love them all equally At least, that's my story and I'm sticking to it

 

[furan]

Sanbika
there you go

lol, ok, well.. if you ever get the urge, you know who to bash over the head

lol, ah... see... i knew ganbatte.... just... i couldn't supress the urge to say ganbaremasu because that clip where Nao says it is just too cute
(damn him for confusing me XD)

HAHA! no, thank you XD
besides, it's good rvision foryou to be nattering on about it to a n00b like me

HAHA
yeah... and you get people who despise Plastic Tree... but still love him... which, i guess is actually a good thing, but... i just feel that his music s such a huge part of him, you can't fully admire him unless you love his music...
i'd be lying if i said i love them all equally... but... i do adore them all....
i just don't... actually.... know anything about the other mambers... as all my info on them was from a Ryutaro fansite
but, it was a really good one, so i got a bunch of info on the others... but.... not very much at all in comparison to him
