This is it, the final part of Chapter 6! Here’s the Table of Contents for earlier portions. ☆ July 5, 2003 Yokohama Arena (First Day) “I’ve set up many doors that lead to me, so you can get to know me.

At this point, it’s been 20 years, but it was only 4 years at the time this part of The Air Moon was written. It makes me realize how raw the feelings still must have been. For any new readers, here is the Table of Contents. ☆ June 22, 2003 Makomanai Ice Arena Gackt, who … Continue reading →

Can’t believe I’ve had this in my drafts since January. (^_^;) At the time, I was wondering if GACKT would mark his 20th anniversary as a solo artist with a tour, perhaps Best of the Best Vol. II, since he’s only put out one single since LAST MOON. As it doesn’t seem like he’ll do … Continue reading →

The Air Moon Ch. 6: Jōgen no Tsuki, Part 4

May 25, 2003 Marine Messe Fukuoka Today’s venue, what with its wide field and capacity of almost 9,000, made you feel as if you were in Yokohama Arena. The ceiling was high, and the uppermost portions, on which the spotlights were set, had rope ladders hanging from them. These were so long they created the … Continue reading →

The Air Moon Ch. 6: Jōgen no Tsuki, Part 3

Posted on August 9, 2018 by scalesoflibra • 2 Comments

The discussion about regret in this part reminded me of a meme a friend shared on social media recently. To paraphrase, it asked if you would rather go back to being 10 years old but with all the knowledge you currently possess, or wake up at age 45 but with a billion dollars in the … Continue reading →

Let’s just get right to it, shall we? ☆ May 9-10, 2003, Nippon Budōkan (First & Second Days) This was Gackt’s first time putting on a concert at the Nippon Budōkan since going solo. It would also be the first time there’s a show at a large Tokyo venue just one week after the start … Continue reading →

A Request

Thank you for visiting Warped Frost! I hope you enjoy your time here.

So far I've tackled some really long translation projects, and given how much work I put into them, and the fact that I am NOT making money off of this (notice the lack of ads?) I want these translations to stay exclusively on Warped Frost. I'm glad if people read my translations, of course, and don't mind being linked to. Same goes for my artwork and photographs.

よろしくお願いしま〜す!m(_ _)m

Is it me you’re looking for?

Scenes from around Warped Frost

Umegaemochi, a kind of mochi with sweet bean paste inside and a plum mark grilled onto the outside. A specialty of Dazaifu, there are several shops on the sandō that sell it. Yum! (April 2016)

From an ice cream stand on the 参道 (sandō, the road leading up to a temple or shrine) to Dazaifu Tenmangū. They sell normal flavors & unusual flavors. Black sesame isn't that unusual, but I recommend their tofu flavored ice cream and corn flavored ice cream too. (April 2016)

Tsuki no Matsu, the "Moon Pine" in Ueno Park. I don't know if this is the same tree ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige depicted in his "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" prints, or if it's that the nearby temple has been grooming different pines into this shape for hundreds of years. (May 2016)
