My grandmother forwarded this to me:
A PUPPY has been born in Japan with a large, clear, love-heart-shaped pattern in his coat.
The Chihuahua was born in May as one of a litter to a breeder.
Shop owner Emiko Sakurada said it was the first time a puppy with the marks had been born out of a thousand she had bred .
She had no plans to sell the puppy, which has been named 'Heart-kun'.
The long-coated male Chihuahua puppy was born in Odate, northern Japan

"...literally adapting the body and mind to the way of nagauta. This notion of adapting the self to the art form is common in Japanese training and contrasts with Western notions of "mastery" of art in which individuals seek to control or subordinate the material to the self. The goal of Japanese artistic training is not the perfection of an art object as an end in itself, but the development of the experiencing self as a never-ending, lifelong process, conceived of as a "path" or "way of art" (geido)." - Shaped by Japanese Music, by Jay Keister

Oh, and you guys should all listen to Gustav Mahler's "Das Lied von der Erde".
And that they go for them.
"S.K.I.N. has announced that they plan on creating "high-impact, explosive rock music" that will "become the first Asian band to top the world charts."
Look out for them this year. The revolution has begun."
Their site is aimed to create a large American fanbase...they're looking for staff that want to join unpaid because they want to help...hell, I would do it, if I had enough coding experience.
Miyavi, Sugizo, and Yoshiki all have an official myspace...
One day, I'm going to be one of those people.
I'm going to reshape this damn planet.
Because I want to mean something.
So, Hitachi Inc. has developed a toy train that can run according to your brain activity. Perhaps you should check out the full article?
I can definitely see the medical benefits, but how necessary is it truly to develop a remote that operates on your thoughts? God, our society is going to rot simply from muscle atrophy at this rate. What is so wrong with moving?
And for a refreshing look at what Vatican City has been up to, why not check out the Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road, even featuring Ten Commandments of Cars, which should not be used as a "place of sin".
"A 36-page document called "Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of the Road" contains 10 Commandments covering everything from road rage, respecting pedestrians, keeping a car in good shape and avoiding rude gestures while behind the wheel."
Ya know, I kind of like it. I mean, at least the Church is recognizing real time issues. It may be disputable as to how good their position is on various issues, but at least they're moving into the modern age.
S.K.I.N. is finally starting up!
A superband consisting of Gackt, former X-Japan memeber Yoshiki, former
Luna Sea member Sugizo, have decided upon Miyavi as their new guitarist
to take part in their band activities.
This superband will hold a live event at the Anime Expo this June 29th!

I don't know...to be honest, I'm kind of frightened O_O
And the first live event is nine days after Gackt's new single is released?
Doesn't sound like an *end* to a solo career o_O Sounds more like a bunch of J-Rockers getting together to have a little fun...
There better be video of this online.
