Sorry if anyone following the blog got the draft version of this in their email; I was sleepy and accidentally hit “Publish” instead of “Save Draft.” ^o^; That version hadn’t been edited for clarity, and was missing the last two pages of this chapter. I wanted to hurry up and finish but things kept popping … Continue reading

The Air Moon Ch. 5: Moon Child, Part 1
I wasn’t going to update this until around Thanksgiving, but since Chapter 5 is about MOON CHILD and October is the season for vampires, I figured it would be most appropriate to do this now. While it is a relatively short chapter at just 18 pages, I don’t have time to do it all at … Continue reading
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 12
This is it! The last two shows on the Kagen no Tsuki tour, which brings us to the end of Chapter 4. Whew! To read earlier portions, please go to the Table of Contents. ☆ December 20, 2002, Osaka Kōsei Nenkin Kaikan (Third Day) “This is the last day the four of us will dance.” … Continue reading
The Air Moon, Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 11
As we draw nearer to the end of this tour, we find ourselves in Fukuoka. I wonder if Hirose himself is from there, considering how much he gets into the specific locales of the city. Because of all the mentions of specific places, I added glosses instead of doing footnotes to explain things like “this … Continue reading
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 10
In these four stops, we get an interview about “12 Gatsu no Love Song,” Chacha’s thoughts on music, lots of airplanes, and Chad mishearing Gackt (maybe). The third venue in this post has no English name noted anywhere, so I wrote “Matsuyama Shimin Kaikan,” which, were it to follow the pattern of other shimin kaikan, might … Continue reading
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 9
Happy Birthday to GACKT, the United States, and Steve Rogers! Is everyone enjoying the party? Anyway, this part turned out to be surprisingly short at just four pages for two days’ worth of shows. The venue name may seem familiar if you recall the Hokkaido show in Part 5. Interestingly there were several of these … Continue reading
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 8
This stop brings us to Nagoya, which will host the May 14, 2016 stop of the LAST VISUALIVE tour. “Nagoya Congress Center” is the English name of the whole convention center; “Century Hall” is the name of the specific hall where the concerts took/will take place. I don’t recall if I’ve said this before, but … Continue reading
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 7
Happy New Year, O Readers! May the Year of the Monkey treat you well. We come once again to the Tokyo International Forum for another two days of shows. Any new readers or those wishing to reread earlier posts might want to go to the Table of Contents first. ☆ November 16, 2002 Tokyo International … Continue reading
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 6
So I signed in several weeks ago thinking I’d bust out this one stop right quick, when I happened to see on my WordPress dashboard that one of the search engine terms that led someone here was “air moon gackt english pdf.” That was a bit troubling. As is written in the “Request” in the … Continue reading
The Air Moon Ch. 4: Kagen no Tsuki, Part 5
I had translated a little bit of this a few days ago in celebration of the fact that I accomplished one of the things I was trying to do this summer. I finished it today because I was so angry at someone, and then angry at myself for letting stuff get to me like that, … Continue reading
