この世界はくさっている [Kono sekai wa kusatteiru] #5

This November 30th, a month back, another one of those stories came to public: mother drowns her two year old babe.

First she made up a story about five covered men who killed her child and got "witnesses" to further prove it. But finally she came fourth with the truth.

She was under depression and decided to kill her child but "she couldn't find the courege to kill herself after.

...courage?!...

A veterinary doctor from the municipal pound of Evora, Portugal, has recently put to sleep seven healthy dogs. It was said the reason was a "tight budget".

Although the pound was not at full capacity, it was said the animals could only be there for a month and these dogs were there for two. Five of these animals had adoption families ready to take them in. Three were in the final stage of the adoption process and two in inicial stages.

It's one of many cases happening...

1st Live!

1º Live!

No início era o Verbo...

And no one told us there would be a rush as big as that before the concert XD

Friends, family, Waribashi, check sound, lights...camera (Yari's father and Nicole's cell phones), action!
Although you coulnd't see one bit because the lights were in our eyes, the concert started. A big mix of concentration and nerves.

We had a very mixed crowd when it came to knowing the style of music, japanese culture and different age groups.And even more people didn't seem to know the songs. But truth be told they wre out a short while ago.

Even though it was a good reception and we good reviews in the end. Another important momento was when one of the viewers, a japanese gentleman, came to us to greet us and to ask us some questions about the lyrics (mainy because of the context in which they were ritten). He told us he got goose bumps whenever he heard jrock (and it wasn't the good kind) but this time he stood out untill the end and he ended up enjoying it XD. He was also very happy to be able to understand the lyrics.

FNAC's staff was great with us and... may we take that___ with us everywhere? XD

In the end it was a great experience! And we shall repeat it again anytime soon.


Our thanks to Waribashi, our family and friends for their unconditional support and to the new friends we made with the event.

FINALLY our first live! Presistence pays of! XD

First live

Uuuhhh!! Debut @_@ Electric, nervous...argh!

Check out the program at FNAC.

Yep, next sunday, 31st of October, right on Holloween, we'll be performing our first live. Showcase at FNAC - Chiado O.O

We'll be presenting musics you probably heard before as well as the new ones fresh on myspace wich belong to the EP - From the Mud. And, since we sing in japanese, we hope we can give you a hand in understanding the message we're trying to get through with each song. But we'll reveal it only on that day ;)

It will be us, Yari and myself, and Pandora, our war and rehearsal companion, on stage. We'll do our best... Have I said I'm nervous? XD

Earth Hour

This time we're here for something completely different.

Earth Hour 2010 is coming and we'll be participating as well.

Portugal has joined in 2009 but this event exists since 2007. This small gesture of just an hour is supposed to call attention to the need of protecting the Planet against climatic changes.

27th of March, from 20:30 to 21:30! It's just an hour for us but at global level the effects are immense!
