Kim's photo shootout

Kim went for a photo shoot out. Ling (Drako'Zen Official Make-up Artist) selected him to be this week's portfolio model and photo shooting (poor lab mouse!). The theme is "Rounin" which means the Samurai who had lost his Lord. Reiki lend him his Keiko-Gi , Hakama and Katana for the photo shooting. Normally , Rounin is wearing a broken cloths, full of mustache and beard , dirty hair. Kim is too clean and pretty, some point doesn't looks like a Rounin but looks like a Rich Gentlemen. Ling had prepaid a few tools for video shooting too, it is a fan and a ancient umbrella . Too bad we didn't have the Japanese Style Old Wine Bottle. The photograph that taken by Pro photograpgher in the studio is not finish editing yet . Anyhow, please have a looks about the picture which taken by Reiki's camera.

Pretty, ain't he? (or she!?)

Drako'Zen

I personally don't like the local music scene, and never support any local music talents. I've tried, bought a few local demo CDs... but honestly i think they are crap, and the demos are not cheap either.

Anyway, this band earned my respect, period.

Meet Drako'Zen, Malaysia's one and only authentic Visual Kei band. Don't worry if you've never heard of them on air or stuff like that, because the local media authorities wouldn't be too pleased.

Here's the 5 lads.
Drako'Zen was founded by Reiki on June 2007. Ving was the second member to joined in, who Reiki happens to knew him through a forum. Both of them happened to have the same interest on music and decided to start this band. Later the two brothers, Kim and Meo joined the band as guitarist and bassist while Ivan the drummer was the last to joined the band, who happens to be an old friend of Reiki’s.Drako’Zen plays hardrock , heavy metal , nu-metal and rock ballad music. Their image is considered as Visual-Kei.

Reiki - Vocalist
Born in Perak but grew up in Shah Alam, extremely fluent in Japanese.
Fell in love with rock music influence by his favourite idol Bon Jovi.
He used to be a drummer before he became the vocalist.
His ex-band mates forced him to become the vocalist because he is fluent in Japanese and understands each line and the feelings of the song he sings. He has the most gifted voice of a JRock vocalist should have and I extremely agree to that.
Ving - Guitarist
Born in Kuala Lumpur, loves all kind of rock music, working as an animator designer.
He admires Steve Vai since high school and he used to be a drummer before he became the guitarist.
Into JRock because JRock is something totally different from western music.

Kim - Guitarist
Born in Kuala Lumpur and studying in a design college.
Interested in JRock because of his influence by guitarist Hisashi from GLAY and Sugizo from LUNA SEA. (Same as me?!)
He is talented in composing.
He is Meo’s elder brother.
He is the prettiest male I've ever seen. He is so cute on stage! (The pics are not doing him justice)

Meo - Bassist (ignore Ving haha)
Kim’s younger brother.
Born in Kuala Lumpur
He is into hardcore and rock music.
He is influenced by his elder brother, Kim and fell in love with JRock.
Ivan - Drummer
Born in Johore Bahru, have a lot of experience in playing in a band.
He used to teach drums in Johore Bahru Yamaha music school.
His favourite JRock band of all time is L’Arc~en~Ciel when he was in university.
He started playing the drums influence of his favourite L’Arc~en~Ciel member Yukihiro.
Even thought he is a drummer, he is quite talented on other instruments.
Alright, enough of advertising. Ving Ving you better pay me hehe.

囍帖街

忘掉种过的花 重新的出发 放弃理想吧
别再看 尘封的喜帖 你正在要搬家
筑得起 人应该接受 都有日倒下
其实没有一种安稳快乐 永远也不差
就似这一区 曾经称得上 美满甲天下
但霎眼 全街的单位 快要住满乌鸦
好景不会与日常在 天梯不可只往上爬
爱的人 没有一生一世吗 大概不需要害怕

忘掉爱过的他 当初的喜帖金箔印着那位他
裱起婚纱照那道墙及一切美丽旧年华 明日同步拆下
忘掉有过的家 小餐枱沙发雪柜及两任红茶
温馨的光境不过借出到期拿回吗 等不到下一代 是吗

忘掉砌过的沙 回忆的堡垒 刹那已倒下
面对这 坟起的荒土 你注定学会潇洒
阶砖不会拒绝磨蚀 窗花不可幽禁落霞
有感情 就会一生一世吗 又再惋惜有用吗
温馨的光境不过借出到期拿回吗
终须会时辰到 别怕 请放下手里那销匙 好吗

dont know why this song reminds me of HK...
maybe it's all the different extreme feelings mixed together in one moment which makes it so special
It constantly tells me it's time to let go and move on

Emerald's new Dragon - Bahamut

Check this guitar out, this is one of the craziest and amazing guitars I think I have ever seen. How many guitars have you seen that can stand up on their own feet? their Dragon feet! This incredible creation is the latest guitar from Emerald Guitars Custom Shop which is a Dragon called Bahamut. The exciting thing is that the new Taiwanese owner Lee Hom ordered this guitar as a special centre piece for his world tour after seeing The Alien on Guitar Noize! Now the Alien was pretty amazing in itself but I can’t even comprehend how a guitar like this is created.

“The body is a chinese dragon that is twisted into the shape of a treble cleff and to top it all off we added another little dragon on the headstock. The body is hand shaped out of a special foam and then covered in carbon fibre to keep it both light and strong. The body is then completed with a special chrome paint that gives a beautiful metal look. Of course there always has to be a little something extra and in this case it is the red lasers in the eyes. on stage with some smoke these just look amazing.”
