These are some pictures of the band MUTE MATH. MUTE MATH is plain gorgeous.




After their first CD Reset EP, they released their first self titled album Mute Math.


>>Spotlight (twilight remix)<< has been relased together with the twilight soundtrack on November 4th 2008.
Up till now there hasn't come something new out from the band.
But as  their official site tells, their new album will be dropping in Spring 2009.
(growing imapticient thirst of ears and mind!!)






Their single >>Typical<< has got a music video. Their very first music video. Their awsameness can now also be seen!!
The whole video is backward.
That fact in particular is noting new per se, but the idea that the whole video is recorded reverse, is pretty ineteresting, considering that it's their first video. Mind spining! "Most difficult adventure for a first video" as one of them said. The first idea of the video, the director's idea of the video, has been shot down. Than, the new idea of it, the band acting in it backward, was ,even though it was definatly a pain in the ass, welcomed.
The Drumatist and Sampleist Darren King suggested this. Their Guitarist Greg Hill came up with the idea of putting some guitar souds in the beginning. Makes it all fresh. In an interview with the band the Bassist Roy Mitchell-Cardenas seem the most chilled. And chilling means something in this band! However the Vocalist and Keyboardist Paul Meany was the most noticeable for me in their interview. I like the way he's expressing himself.
Kind of fascinating to me.

You can't possibly have a concept of how valuable the WIND is when you've never droven a Ducati.



Okay, I can't have wings. But with my Decuti I'm willing to be satisfied.
(through the whole face grin)

I drop the driver-and-car/motorcycle language I myself don't speak. Irrelevant. Who need words? Me?

Up till now, the new picture by Minekura Kazuya on her diary blog, is the one I like most!

This man, looks in his outward appearence like a everyday guy, but
his eyes tells that HIS soul is one in billion. How cool!!
(Like often, I could live happily the rest of my life by just watching this woman's picture........or.....just serverl good minutes) (hi,hi)


Ah, by the way the year 2009 is the year of the Ox, it stands for hard work, patients and perseverance.
Here a short dialog of how smooth the new year can beginn:


Kouki: (reading out loud)..." The positive attributes of the Ox are his strenght to work hard, patients
          and perserverance. And that is  what this year stands for."
          -Ha! I would like to see work done like this!  (laugh)

Masaru: Yeah? and whose the one who IS doing your work?

Kouki: ........em...that's me....I guess...?....

Masaru: - Correct! The year already begun. SoOoo start your work waiting for you.

Kouki: .....tss, the year has just begun, SoOo there is pleanty of time left to do work. Not
          now. -now I wanna go testing the new g....

Masaru: !-Hm? What? Who was it who said: "I want to see work done like this"? Hä?!!

Kouki:...................(angrily sulking)

Masaru: Ah, by the way you can do....this and.....this, too, ya.

Kouki:  !!!- HEY! Wait a sec! This is but YOUR work(!!)

Masaru: Yeah. And?

Kouki: And? You do that yourself, of course!

Masaru: But wouldn't I disturb you then being "hard working" and "perseverance" and so??

Kouki: Shit on that!! (angry and emberessed)

Masaru: Well, I see. You're still the same.

Kouki: Same as what?

Masaru: Easily angry, lazy......  just like......

Kouki: ................just like?

Masaru: An Ox!

Kouki: --What?!!!

END

Also called >>A Diary with Tears<< or >>A Diary of Tears<<.



It is a Japanese television drama and deals with the story of a simply lovely girl who was diagnosed with an incurable degenerative disease at 15, but was able to continue her life until her death at the age of 25. Incredible girl.

"The drama is an adaptation of the diary of a Japanese girl named Aya Kitō, who suffered from spinocerebellar ataxia. She began keeping a diary at the suggestion of her doctor, and continued to write until she could no longer hold a pen. The diary, titled 1 Litre no Namida, was published shortly after her death." (wikipedia)


It has only 11 Episodes. It is a very absorbing story for me and I wanted to watch these facinating strong characters for a longer time. But I do have a bad habit of watching the series I happen to like in one fly....
However, watching this serie and hearing the theme song of it alone(Remioromen - Konayuki),
I myself almost cried 1 liter of tears... (shniff)
Tears quickly start pouring when I'm deeply touched....(なぜか?)

The most interesting and wonderful part of this story is, that although nothing left but tears, afterwards feelings of hope and new strengh came up. But I do really feel that, I guess. (laughing n crying)

Ah, and the actors, whom I didn't know till then, gave me the rest, so I have chanceless fallen for them. (laugh)





Nee, if you're someone who thinks she/he knows the price of life,
you may should watch >>One Liter of Tears<<. (honest consideration)

So, here's finally the picture you've been looking for。





You do have a good nose。。。。

This's so great!!


Fan art can be pretty cool, but Fan-work is just great in their own way!!!

There is another kind of depth and love in it。 It can be a lovley variety; right。

Though I myself can not do that, I love seeing what Minekura's fans are doing to make their most wanted charakters touchable。

These ones are Hakkai and Hakuryuu。

 




Minekura makes her charakters always realistic and draws them as they would be really alive and on their way to whereever。
But these 2 seems very aktive, too to me。 (Ha,ha) --> Hakkai's kindness and Hakuryuu's......öh.....Hakuryuu looks SooOoo cool and yummi here!! (laughing) Their creator, is the great >>Super_Saiyan<< of a russian blog!!


(For letting me post your work here, thanks again。)


There do exist more of it here:http://www.diary.ru/~Minekura/p44495807.htm


- I can imagine them becomeing alive, moveing and talking in the nights。。。。。




 

The distance they've never managed to overcome....

                                                                                                                                                                                                                             --"A chain of short stories about their distance"--              
                           Makoto Shinkai's Byousoku 5 Centimeter

 
No fantasy。 No sience fiction。 It is just....
the real world from a different perspective。

               


It is a movie told in 'a chain of short stories'。

1.Story: Ōkashō  

2.Story: Cosmonaut   

3. Story: 5 Centimeters per Second

I've seen this Animation on Veoh。 It is not long in time but by watching it seems like a good amount of time has passed by without noticing it. I think that is the thing in this Movie, don't you think?
Ans is that so? Is it true that in real life people aren't fighting for their wishes? That they let time, space, people and love pass by like a Cherry Blossom that has fallen on your way?
Yes. I do think it is common in society。

That, what is left after parting is not only distance。 It is a black abys, swallowing your heart slowly. The pain it causes - growing day by day - is far from imagination ------- 。。。。

So, if that is what it should be in the end -then it sucks 。。。!!
[ Minekura would probably say: 'life is parting。' ]
And the key, that could have eventually open up a way together, was just stolen by the heartless wind.。





Nee, do you know the speed the Cherry Blossoms do fall??

Sooo, what's this below??

Where from?

Whom about?

What will they have for dinner????





Found that pic recently. It is also in Minekura's blog cutted in parts though.

The Characters seems definately interesting, like usual. Yes. Absolutely.
Because I do not know anything aside from what I see, and because I have this habit of daydreaming, I came up with 5 versions what the story of it could be! (laugh)

-äh!
I forgot: I have to think about what to eat today: spicy or salty ramen...........
What did I eat yesterday??  Uhmm....

Did you know THAT picture??


I wonder where it's from?

>>WARD<<  No. 003, this day it is on sale!!
It is announced on http://spn00384-02.hontsuna.net/

The cover is again drawn by Minekura [-yokata] (reliefed smile) with Kenren this time.....!!
WOAHHH!!! knocking over picture. Minekura Kazuya's drawings are dignified, touching and indescriable beautiful.........




here follows the "clean"  or "raw" one


 

HMmmm......, -yes now I know what makes me feel looking at this picutre thoughtful: Kenren has no sake-bottle aroud his waist. (HaHa)
However, this illustration of Kenren has an disastreous aura, don't you think?



AhH!! Itchying to read what will happen to the "fearsome foursome"  in spoiled heaven next...

This time a saiyu gaiden chapter.


-- IT'S somewhat FUNNY!! (still laughing)
I found it at http://gensomadensaiyuki180.tripod.com/id5.html

















          -Nee, what's your shumi?-

Seki Toshihiko interview-Saiyuki Ova I


Here's another link http://athena8.livejournal.com/293665.html#cutid1: This time an interview wif Seki Toshihiko talking about his charakter and what Sanzo thinks of the other Saiyuki guys.
(It is said that it's not the whole Interview)


   

FunnY! These are some question submitted by the fans the Sanzo-ikkou is answering. Findable in >>saiyubito<< (page 70-73)
I found it on the LJ of athena8.


Questions for Sanzo Ikkou:

Q: If Jeep could transform into something other than "Jeep," what would you want it to be?

[gojyo] Obviously, a glamorous and sexy female.

[sanzo] That's enough, now shut up.

[goku] Jeep's male, though, right?

[hakkai] If you try to put your hands on him, you and Jeep may become involved in an xxx sort of manner - would you be fine with that? I'll point my finger and laugh at you.

[gojyo] Sanzo ikkou needs to have at least one woman! There's no flowering splendor!!

[hakkai] But there's me and Sanzo.

[gojyo & goku] .......

[sanzo] If Jeep matures a little and learns to transform into a camping car or something, it would be pretty useful.

[goku] He totally deflected the story.

[gojyo] He doesn't even deny it.

Q: It's been 4 years since you've all met, but how have your first impressions changed since then?

[hakkai] First impressions? This is rather like a matchmaking service.

[gojyo] (glances at Sanzo from the corner of his eyes) ...it was the worst.

[sanzo] (eyeing Gojyo) The worst.

[goku] What about now?

[sanzo] Nothing's changed.

[gojyo] Hah, same here.

[goku] They've been like this since the very beginning, Sanzo and Gojyo. What about Hakkai and Gojyo?

[gojyo] Hakkai? The first time I met him...

[hakkai] Aah, I was covered in blood~ And my guts were spilling out. (laughs)

[everyone] .........

Q: I've always wondered about this, but who is the most popular out of the four of you?

[gojyo] Goes without saying, but isn't it me?

[sanzo] Maybe it's about time you snapped out of it.

[goku] You can say whatever you want, but in the end Hakkai always makes off with the good stuff.

[hakkai] I don't think so. I'm quite ordinary.

[gojyo] But Sanzo's the one who's popular with the guys.

[sanzo] You obviously have a death wish, bastard.

Q: How did you learn how to Mahjong?

[goku] I learned from Gojyo and Hakkai. I think the first time was that time we stayed up all night playing at Gojyo's, the four of us?

[gojyo] I got into it when I was hanging out with Banri.

[sanzo] I learned it from my master when I was a kid.

[hakkai] I learned when I was in graduate school. It was Kanan who taught it to me, however...

[goku] Eeeh? That's a shocking fact.

[gojyo] Somehow, it doesn't fit my image of her...

[hakkai] No, no...she was actually very good at it.

Q: What do you think of watches? Are they a necessity to you?

[gojyo] Aren't there some pretty cool looking watches? I'd want one of those, but I'm not much for keeping track of time. Anyway, I'd probably break it or lose it eventually.

[sanzo] Unnecessary. It'll just get in the way.

[hakkai] I do think it would be a nice thing to have. But it's not something I can't go without in my current way of life.

[goku] And why do you have to put that thing on your arm, anyway?

(* Actually, this was a psychology test. "Watch = lover." I had them answer honestly. Isn't it fun? (laughs) )

Q: What do you think you'll be like 50 years from now?

[goku] Uh....probably taller.

[gojyo] Try to be realistic, Goku.

[sanzo] I've never thought about something so far in the future.

[gojyo] 50 years...I'll be 73. Kind of iffy. But I think I'll still be good.

[sanzo] At what?

[hakkai] It will be nice if you were all still alive.

[goku] It's like you're talking just about the rest of us...

Q: What have you done with the comedic getup you had at the end of Saiyuki Reload, volume 1?

[hakkai] I have them right here, see?

[gojyo] Throw those away!!

Q: What's the longest number of nights in a row you've had to camp out?

[goku] I wonder how long? 4 nights?

[gojyo] Usually after about 3 nights, people start getting fed up.

[sanzo] I can't sleep. And I ache all over when I wake up.

[hakkai] When that happens, even if we have to make a detour, Sanzo-sama gives us permission to "just head toward the nearest town!"

Q: Please tell us what your schedules were like before you started on this trip!

[sanzo] Wake up at 8. Eat breakfast, bathe, and get to the office by 10.

[gojyo] ....that's a pretty comfortable schedule.

[hakkai] Don't you have to wake up early at temples?

[sanzo] Well, I am a supreme monk.

[hakkai] An executive's arrival, I see....

[goku] Mine's the same as Sanzo. When Sanzo goes to work, I go out to play. But I'll follow him if he has to go out to work.

[hakkai] Depending on the day, I come by to tutor. And sometimes Goku comes over to visit on his own.

[gojyo] When he comes alone, that's usually after he's had a fight with Sanzo.

[goku] ~~~~shut up!

[hakkai] I wake up at 7. I'll do the laundry and take out the trash. After I make breakfast, I wake up Gojyo. If he came home late the night before, then I'll let him sleep and start cleaning up. Because if I use the vacuum cleaner around the bed, then he has to get up.

[gojyo] Oh...so that was on purpose, huh?

[hakkai] We eat and then I wash the dishes and water the plants before seeing Gojyo off...then I watch some TV. Afterward, I go shopping...

[sanzo] Hey, how much more of this "routine of a housewife" do we have to hear?

Q: Which one of you is the best singer?

[gojyo] This I guess, has gotta be Sanzo?

[goku] He's always like, I'm not gonna sing! And then once he gets drunk he won't let go of the mic.

[gojyo] It pisses me off, but he is pretty good.

[hakkai] Gojyo and Goku, you are both good as well. When Goku sings, he sounds very mature.

[sanzo] You make it point never to sing, Hakkai.

[goku] I've only heard Hakkai singing the "Black Sailor Song."

[hakkai] I just enjoy listening to everybody else sing, so I'm fine. I won't sing~ never. (laughs)

Questions for Sanzo:

Q: What's been the most difficult thing, raising Goku?

[sanzo] ....I'll have you know that I don't recall ever raising him.

Q: What sections in the newspaper are you favorite?

[sanzo] None in particular. I just skim through all of it. It's more like a way to pass time.

Q: Do you read the 4-block comic, "Goki Goki Gojyo-tan?"

[sanzo] Aah, that. That's the only thing I don't read. Not even a worthwhile way to pass time.

Q: Can you shoot a chakra-beam from your chakra? (laughs)

[sanzo] ....you wanna see it? Just stand right there.

Q: I exercise but can't seem to lose any weight. What can I do get more muscular?

[sanzo] Dunno, why are you asking me? If you're always with a rowdy kappa and monkey though, you'll probably end up using a lot of your abdominal muscles.

Q: Sanzo, which one is more your weakness - mornings or nights?

[sanzo] You think I'd have a weakness? ....but if you're asking me which one I don't like, then mornings. It doesn't matter if I can't sleep at night, but mornings I've got to wake up.

Q: When is your tension the highest?

[sanzo] Why should I have to raise the tension at all? Everyone else around me is always high tension, I'm tired of it.

Q: In Reload 5 act 20, there's a scene where Gat switches out with Hakkai and Goku, to go with Hazel Why is that? I felt sorry for Gojyo, to be stuck with the less talkative people...

[sanzo] Hakkai has to drive, so he had to go with Hazel. But if Hakkai and I both left, it would leave the 2 idiots, so I had to avoid that. Sending that pervert kappa would endanger the women those youkai men had been holding. So that's how I came up with that arrangement. That's all.

Q: One time when I didn't have jam, I mixed up sugar and mayonnaise and put it on my bread. My friends saw me do that, and were like 'what are you eating!?' What do you think of that, Sanzo-sama?

[sanzo] So what. What's wrong with that?

Q: I bought a paper fan to thwack cockroaches with, but I can't seem to get the snap down. How can I be able to use a paper fan with your expert skills, Sanzo-sama?

[sanzo] You have to be sure to differentiate your target and use it accordingly. When you're aiming for the floor or wall, you have to snap your wrist back on the moment of impact. That snap is key, you understand?

Q: Even Hazel was quite impressed by the way you handle your paper fan. How did you learn the technique?

[sanzo] I wonder. I just had the grip down before I realized, that's it.

Questions for Goku:

Q: Which one do you like the best - pudding, yogurt or almond jelly?

[goku] First place, almond jelly. Second place, pudding. Third place, yogurt. I don't hate yogurt, but I kinda pass on things that are too sour. But almond jelly I can't get enough of.

Q: You said after seeing Gat naked that you wanted to be buff like that too! What's your goal?

[goku] About that much!! Like, I wanna be able to punch with fists of steel, and break through rocks and stuff.

Q: Do you get an allowance? The other 3 seem to have pocket money, but it doesn't seem like you do. Does Sanzo give you some cash?

[goku] He does give me some, in case of emergencies. But if I use it, Sanzo hits me, so I don't. It's been like that for a while.

Q: Have you ever seen Sanzo smile? If you have, what did his face look like??

[goku] He smiles kind of often, you know? I guess it's kind of hard to tell for people who don't know.

Q: If you relate the other team members to food items, what would they be?

[goku] Nn.....that's kind of hard. Sanzo would be a bun topped with gold leaf. Hakkai is a brown dumpling. Gojyo's a shrimp shumai.

(Isn't that just for the colors...?)

Q: In the fridge, there's Gojyo's ramen with miscellaneous boiled items and Sanzo-sama's mayo ramen. If you had to eat one, which would it be?

[goku] .....the miscellaneous boiled items. (small voice)

Questions for Gojyo:

Q: You're always hitting on various women, but who is really your type of woman? Are married women ok?

[gojyo] It doesn't really matter to me, madam, if she's married. Except, I feel a little sorry for the husband. Cuz there's no way he can win against me, right?

Q: What do you think of Yong-sama? [ Question refers to Bae Yong Joon, a Korean actor ]

[gojyo] Who's that? Yong-sama? ...aah, the guy in the glasses with the scarf? He's totally not in my line of vision, so I didn't know who you were talking about. Meh, I guess he's alright? Though to me, it's like the ladies who say they like Sanzo, or think Hakkai is cool looking - I just think they've got no taste.

Q: Every time there's a popularity ranking, you're at number 4. Do you have anything to say to the ladies who don't understand your appeal, Gojyo-kun?

[gojyo] Heh, I'm not the kind of guy who gets bent out of shape over something like that. But really, those women are missing out on life. I'm fine with just the girls who understand. I'll love all of you, you got that?

Q: So what exactly happens when you use an empty can as an ash tray?

[hakkai] When he puts ashes in an empty can, I can't dispose of the trash properly.

[gojyo] Don't butt in here!

[hakkai] You would understand if you try it once. How difficult it is to dispose of a can that's stuffed with ashes. Why don't you try a little to see how it is like from my position?

[gojyo] Alright, I get it! I haven't done it lately, have I??

Q: Before, you said that your range was 16 to 32 year olds, but I'm getting pretty close up there...can you raise the limit a little?

[gojyo] Ok, ok, don't worry about it. The ladies these days are all so young and pretty looking. How about the upper limit will be 'like Kuroki Hitomi-ish'?

[ Kuroki Hitomi - a Japanese actress ]

Q: How can I get along better with girls? If you have a secret, please tell me!! Gojyo, you're what I think of as the ideal guy. You're strong and cool and I love that playboy part about you! I think you're the most guyish of the four!

[gojyo] Hey it's a question from a 9 year old boy! You're so young, but you understand well, that's very good, kid. Get this, girls want a guy who's strong and kind. You can't be like Sanzo, who's pissy all the time, or Hakkai who's all smiles on the outside. What it comes down to for men is what's on the inside. Also what's necessary is sex appeal. Look at Goku - there's no sex appeal there, right? Men have to have a sidelong glance and a nihilistic smile. That's where it's at. Mature into a good man there, buddy.

Q: Why do you have antennas?

[gojyo] .....they're not antennas. ....it's just the way my hair stands up.

Q: So can you walk straight if you're antennas are cut off?

[gojyo] This is what I said, it's the way my hair stands up....

Q: Can...can I trim those antennas?

Q: I hear that when you cut off antennas from bugs or cockroaches, they become direction blind, but is that also the case with you?

Q: There've been a lot of rumors about what those antennas are capable of. In truth, what abilities do they have?

Q: Do your antennas change according to your mood?

Q: What happens to your antenna if you don't have any women for a month?

Q: How can I grow out antennas like that?

Q: So basically, what are those antennas?

[gojyo] That's why I'm telling you, it's my hair!! ~~hey, is that it!?

Questions for Hakkai:

Q: Sanzo, Goku and Gojyo - which one of them is the biggest handful?

[hakkai] Well, there's really no number 1 or 2. (laughs) Everyone holds quite uncommon sensibilities.... Sanzo was making fun of Gojyo for not even knowing the day to set out the trash, but he probably doesn't know, himself. (laughs) Goku actually listens to me and takes heed. It is like a rowdy kindergarden class.... But I don't really find it objectionable. It's not something I dislike, and it is my work, as well.

Q: You've always got a white cloth wrapped over your left shoulder, but is there a reason for that?

[hakkai] I have this wrapped over my shoulder for when Jeep is perched there. Jeep's claws are fairly sharp, so they tend to rip holes in clothing. And it's easier for him to balance there if I have it on.

Q: I can't seem to tidy up my room very well. How can I clean it up well? Please scold me gently. ♥

[hakkai] That's no good at all, what if you become an adult like Gojyo? There is a method to cleanliness - first of all, you can't hesitate to throw things away. If you try to keep everything around, it will keep piling up. Also, don't 'look and pretend not to see.' From the corners of the room to the window sill to water stains, don't think that it's too dirty to clean up. Clean it up when you notice it. You'll feel better when everything is cleaned. Sometimes you may be too busy to take care of daily chores, but think about it as a way to change your state of mind. It's important to set aside time for such things.

Q: You're very resilient to alcohol - so how much does it take for you to get drunk?

[hakkai] I'm actually quite drunk, but it just doesn't show on my face.

Q: There seems to be a lot of stress building up for you daily - what is the cause of it?

[hakkai] I'm actually not very stressed. It gets relieved through my daily routines, in any case. Though I cannot reveal how. (laughs)

Q: Where did you learn how to cook? And was Kanan good at cooking?

[hakkai] She couldn't cook, but was picky about taste so it was quite difficult. (laughs) My cooking improved after I started living with Kanan.

Q: Please teach me how to shoot out chi like you do.

[hakkai] It's with kiai.

[ kiai - translates to something like fighting spirit, battle cry ]

Q: How is it that your glasses don't slip at all while you fight?

[hakkai] It's with kiai.

Q: Please shout "kamehameha" when you shoot your chi next time.

[hakkai] That would be impossible, due to copyright issues. (laughs)

Q: Is Jeep-chan heavy on your shoulder?

[hakkai] He's not exactly light, but I don't mind it.

Q: What does Jeep eat? I'd like to know if he's got any favorite foods.

[hakkai] He eats normally when he's in his dragon form. He prefers meat, which I suppose is appropriate.

Q: What did you study in graduate school?

[hakkai] Physics and theology. At that time, I learned a little bit about the 'sutras from the dawn of time' and the 'sanzo priests' but I hadn't even dreamed it would affect me personally later on. (laughs)

Q: On the cover of June's Zero Sum, you were eating an orange and wearing these lovely rimless glasses. I wanted to find a similar pair so I can be matching with you, is that alright?

[hakkai] Those glasses are actually the private property of Minekura-san. (laughs) If you want the same pair, you will be matching with Minekura-san, but if you're ok with that... (laughs)

Q: Are you happy, presently?

[hakkai] Yes, certainly.

On >>julianne.diary.ru<< I found these great pictures from BUS GAMER !!

The one with Kazuo is, which Minekura put in part into her diary quite some time ago. (finally found--> happy smile)





note Toki's cool tatoo on his right shoulder.
Minekura is often drawing tatoo's on Gojou, Toki, and Nobuto's body.

 Minekura Kazuya

Tasaka:OooOOokayy!
           It's been exactly 3 years n 3 months since I first heard the name >>Saiyuki<<.
           Lot happened in that time between then and now: having had much fun with the Sanzo-ikkou,
           having learned much from the Sanzo-ikkou, having started to LOVE the Sanzo-ikkou -->
           Öhmm....in short: having become addicted to Sanzo-ikkou!  (proud smile)

?????: ......good for you, isn't it?

Tasaka: Ähh....yes.
            And you know what - it's all 'cause of a single woman....Minekura Kazuya!!

?????: Well, that's pretty obvious.....

Tasaka: .....right.....
           My thoughts have been spinning a lot and lot about her.

?????: ....? So what??

Tasaka: Yaeh! So, since I'm so much thinking about her, I always do have to write "Minekura" n
            "Minekura".
            --It's started to get boring, the writing of the same long name, hasn't it?

?????:Nope.

Tasaka:.............
           I have some new variations of how to call her in future!  (*BIG* smile)

?????: ...!! Wha?!

Tasaka: How about: >>Mine-chan<<? sounds nice to me, ..though it's  kind of.......still too long, isn't
            it? Hmmm...

(gun shot next to Tasakas grining-in-shock face)

?????: Die!!

Tasaka: Fine!! I won't use these names. Ever. Okay?!
             

reading and seeing her works, reading n hearing some interviews of her, seeing what  might be her picture , I came to following conclusion about who Minekura might be:




Like in her self drawn Chibi-pictures, she honestly has a little falling eyelids (which makes her look way cool), she also has a good amount of body waight, and is a chain smoker from heard. (I personly asmue she started smoking in som way because of her now-husband, whom she married this year and whom she has known since she was 16 years old............., and  whom I in addition  asume for 5.0% to be the type of Kubota Makoto from WA/Ariso) Speaking with a strong voice in a slow, but depending on the circumstances in very authority way. Her laughing (as always to read on her notes), yeah, is exactely like you imagine it to be! (Laughing myself now)


She is a domestic person who wans to have fimiliar surroundings and safety, but from time to time seeks for new mysterious things and action, since she VERY quickly get bored.
She has the habit of day dreaming.
A distinctive sence for justice let her fight for the discriminate or the majority ( she was a student council member in her school time herself)
This strive for justice don't let her fear any self sacrifices.

She may look often too withdrawn, but nerver really shy, nevertheless she shouldn't be underestimated in ANYTHING in life!!
She with a very impulsive feeling know what she wants, and depanding on the circunstances, prefers doesn't avoiding to take the way behind to put something through.......(how far would she go to reach her aims? -If it isn't for having fun in any way, she would drop the case soon anyway, would't she? (HaHa))
Minekura is sophisticated, almoust cunning, I would say, and would be therefor be a good poltician.
She has got excaptional knowledge of human nature, but let herself be fooled as well. The most when someone is appealing on her helpfulness, she become soft and lenient.--than it can happen fast that she is being used - and sometimes she doesn't check that at first.

In some way this woman is very sensible (I do rember having read in her diary that she quikly cries when she's touched -- also in  movies!!)
and is what's called >>having a thin skin<<, which is visible in the change of her behaviour. One time she appears to be for her surrounding capricious and hostle, and in the next moment again hospitable and conciliatory.

To sum it all up: -Minekura is a human you can't without when get once in touch with her, or can you? (laughing)

If I should guess which ckarakter she's that she had ever drawn, I would say : ALL of them. MInekura is all her charakters itself.
If I should say what kind of animal she is, I would say: A dog! - yeah. Well, because she's faithful like a dog and is messing around! (HaHa)

Uhmmm.... well.
In my livejournal I try to give information and talk about  Minekura's work and herself. And......some other things, too! (Hi,hi)
As often i have time I'll try.

So informations coming soon!!
