[Archived] Nega vs PERESTROIKA

Author
anonymous

Ray posted an entry about PERESTROЇKA, calling it a new band in the visual scene and noting how strange it is that the band has four members who look exactly like the members of NEGA. Ray also goes on to say something like “our revival will not be defeated!”

So I guess the official stance is that PERESTROЇKA is a completely different band with different members (...), and NEGA still plans to revive.

I know many of you guessed as much already, but it's nice to have some official acknowledgement of the two “real” bands existing at once.

-- 儿 (Jin) posted a more serious locked entry about NEGA. The text is behind the cut if anyone wants to take a shot at translating it: Jin's entry 遅くなったけど昨日はお疲れ。

  • 昨日のライヴをやって、改めて「ネガ」って良いバンドだなって思った。

  • 年齢も経験もバラバラで性格もバラバラの4人だけれど、

  • 絶対に他のバンドにはないケミストリーが合って、

  • あの空気感を生み出せる。

  • オレももしネガが解散したとしたらバンドをやろうとか思わないと思う。

  • オレの人生を賭けたバンドです。

  • でも綺麗事だけではバンドを出来ないのも事実だし、

  • やっぱり更にバンドとして飛躍をしたい。

  • この活動休止はそこへ向けた一つの賭けの様なモノ…。

  • だから…

  • みんなからの活動休止に向けた複雑な想いも…

  • 全てはネガがまた復活するときにその意味と価値を理解ってもらえるように…

  • 絶対に「進化」して戻ってくる。

  • ネガを純粋に愛してくれていたヤツには傷付けてしまったかもしれない。

  • もしファンとバンドの関係を恋愛に例えるなら、

  • サプライズ好きの自由奔放な彼氏だと思ってくれ。

  • 恋愛していたら傷付けることもあるけれど、

  • その傷すら良い想い出に変えてみせるから。

  • 普段こんなこと言わないけど、

  • ネガの本質を愛してくれてるお前達へ…

  • 最高に愛してる。

  • Current mood: melancholy

Don't worry about the message, just send him a smiley or something XD Most of them have the automatic accepting turned on, so he'll maybe accept you the moment you send the request. If not, he'd accept you even if you wrote something that doesn't make sense.

I always just type in "^_^" and that's all XD

It's nice that he wrote something like this, but I still feel weird about this. I can't imagine being in two fully active bands to be possible; so PERESTROIKA will just disband after Nega's revival or what? I mean, you can't work on two completely different, but still official and serious bands at the same time. PERESTROIKA is not Sendai Kamotsu or Kiryu's MY DRAGON. They're not a silly band. ((at least they don't look like one, so far XD))

Even though it's a little late, thanks for your hard work yesterday. After yesterday's live, I thought again that "Nega" has become a good band. We are 4 people who are quite different in age, experience, and in our personalities, But we definitely have a chemistry that other bands don't have, We're able to create that kind of atmosphere. For me as well, I think if Nega disbanded I won't want to start another band. This is the band that I bet my life on. But it's a reality that bands aren't just wonderful things, [Ehh, rough translation there ;] I definitely want to take another leap [in our progress]. This activity pause is one of the gambles we made for the sake of making that progress... So... The complex feelings that everyone has towards the activity pause... When Nega revives I hope you will understand the meaning and value of it all... We will absolutely "evolve", and we'll be back. Maybe we've hurt the people who purely love Nega [only]. If you compare the relationship between the fans and the band to being in love, Think of us as a boyfriend who has an unrestricted personality and likes surprises. When people fall in love, there are times when they get hurt, But it's ok if those wounds can be transformed into good memories. I don't usually say this kind of thing but... To all of you who love the true essence of Nega, I love you the most.


That's what I read, really quick. If anyone feels like doing one that brings out all his emotion and poetry (lol), please feel free.

Do you have to write a decent message for him to accept? >.> I kind of got scared off by the having to write something.

I'll do a quick translation for meaning in a minute; not to detract if anyone wants to do a really accurate one.

Yeah, you need to request that he add you. If you try to view the entry, it should have a link to request the add.

Uh... is this going to be a repeat of Matenrou Opera vs. Anomie again? I still remember reading about how the members found 'mysterious white footprints' in their apartments and how strange it was that this 'completely different band' was using their equipment. ¬.¬;;

I'm probably going to attempt a translation later, but for now... how does one access the locked posts? Do I need to add him as a friend/follow him on Ameblo?
