Karini: V-ROCK FESTIVAL 2009

Japan's V-Rock Festival has been on for about two hours now
currently preforming is Kra

It's definitely an almost surreal feeling knowing that this show is going on live in Japan

I can't wait to see the other bands, so far I was pretty impressed with
Awoi
Bounty
SuG

Kra has a very eclectic sound
very jazzy vibe at one point then the singer voice begins to growl and then returns to singing in almost a whispered tone
crazy combo

Karini: Miyavi's US Tour Canceled

Much to my disbelief I won't be going to see Miyavi tomorrow at New People Mall in San Francisco for a mini live and autograph session :(

After playing a show last night in Mexico he announced today that the US leg of his tour would be postponed until further. The reason has been attributed to many things including illness, injury, problems getting into the US, to problems with bookings at Venues

In my opinion, sales for tickets were probably not what they were hoping for.

It's unfortunate that so many things had to go wrong all at once, I was really looking forward the opportunity for a meet and greet.

Karini: Upcoming Releases

The latest J-Rock videos I'm been watching

I've been waiting and waiting for the LM.C to release something following Punky Heart and Chemical King Twoon that would live up the the more emotional sound of 88.
In my opinion Ghost Heart delivers
