Actually, I saw this news on teletext last night, which was a great relief for me after having been worried about these 'chaos' for the last few months. Now I just hope the guys do well at matches!
# I wonder why division 2 is now called under the stupid name: Coca Cola Football League One club?
# Who decided this horrible changes?

Sam Yaffa joined NY Dolls!!

Japanese Hanoi Rocks fansite mailing list told us that Sam Yaffa has joined NY DOLLS!! They wrote that they got info from hanoi-rocks.net.
I thought NY Dolls were coming to play in Japan with the base player who played on behalf of Arthur for the festival in UK. This news is too good to believe! Oh, yes, and I've already got tickets for both gigs in Tokyo and Osaka.

Rain O' Rain
Wed 18 Aug 2004@22:43:24 (JST)
Categories: [diary/journal]
I'm in a library, but it seems like it's thundering and raining outside? Scared to go out...
Just checked Yahoo! Japan. Typhoon no.16 hit western area of Japan yesterday. It says that it rained heavily, especially in Shikoku area, and cost 6 people's life and 2 are still missing in Kagawa and Ehime prefecture. Strange coincidence. I've watched flood disaster in North Cornwall on telly yesterday.
Seems we're having unusual summer weather, both in UK and Japan.

[manics] news @ PlanetSound, teletext
Wed 18 Aug 2004@20:58:33 (JST)
Categories: [Music: CD/LP/EP/Cassetes]
OK, it seems there's no problem to access TypePad with PC at local library in Rotherham. I'm so glad as I knew they'd blocked access to livejournal, so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to log on TP. Anyway, here I go...
After I got up early in the morning on 16th August, I browsed through teletext with half-sleeping mind and woke up to see the news about Manics new single and album. (page 351, 2 out of 9 pages, PlanetSound: news) With title "MANICS LOVE NIXON", it said that new single 'The Love Of Richard Nixon' would be out on 27th September, while the new album 'Life Blood' due on 4th October.
I took a photo of that page but cannot upload it from local library here. I might put it on after I go back home in Japan.
I think the 'news' have already mentioned on websites or magazines, so it's not new at all if you check them often. It's lovely to see anything related to Manics anyway while I'm here in England. :)

[taty] Setlist/Dec 2, 2003
Wed 3 Dec 2003@01:24:43 (JST)
Categories: [Music: Gigs/Festivals]
Not remember the correct order.
ATTSS/HSIN?/SML/30Mins/Stars/PD/MG/CYSMN?/NV,NB,NP/NGGU/Nichiya/NGGU Remix (w/so many t. A.T.u. girls from Japan)/PD Remix (t.A.T.u. left the stage, walking on an over-50m-long catwalk w/t.A.T.u. girls)
Reaction from audience was much better than 1st night, I think. I did enjoy tonight show, but, in some sense, I prefer the tight tension of the 1st night. Well, gotta have some sleep on this night train before I arrive in Okayama...

Beta ends, Preview starts
Thu 14 Aug 2003@03:28:22 (JST)
Categories: [TypePad]
Today (13 August 2003): Deadline for beta testers to register TypePad Preview Release to get special beta tester discount.
I tried Pro account features as a beta tester and quite like them a lot. The normal price for Pro is a bit more expensive than I expected but can get 20% lifetime(!) discount plus three months for free. Not bad offer.
So I decided to register TypePad Preview. My main site is (and will be) still at http://www.bkml.net/, but will use this TypePad space as mirror site or draft-only or maybe moblog-only site.
