I got my singles today! *parties* Koishite Kimeru is very catchy: it took a bit to grow on me, I admit, and the PV is.. all sorts of special (I SWEAR I saw the girl in that PV somewhere and it's going to drive me crazy until I pinpoint where I've seen her before. It feels like it should be obvious D:). Personally, I think he should release an album soon! And a song by Yoshi. Collabs are nice but I'm yearning for the good old days of Kimeru x Yoshi song making! (I'd also like a DVD Kime, if you're listening XD)

Anyway, I've updated the tour section with the days for Kimeru's upcoming mini-tour, "Love Triangle". And our Translation section finally has the English lyrics to DECIDE and Prism! I HAVE WAITED FOR YEARS FOR THESE! I'm so happy to get the two songs I've been missing for so long. Thanks to thats_my_line! (I wonder if I should transcribe the lyrics for Koishite Kimeru. They're so short and full of English XD)

I Made a New Layout! キラキラ!!
(Yes, this is a big deal)

It took me a couple of weeks to finish as I find I get easily distracted, but today I found myself house-bound so I finished it up. I don't know yet if I'm 100% satisfied with it, but it is now up for your available usage! The layout was inspired by the "Junk beat" single. It's very very very very red D: I probably should have sprinkled some more white and black in... but I didn't. Well.. I'll keep it up until I decide if I love it or not ^^

I wanted to start a special gift project for Kimeru, but I decided to wait until his birthday. His birthday and Christmas are spaced out so perfectly that trying to cram something inbetween is a little tough. I want to do something BIG for his birthday! (Tickets to Disneyland Tokyo? XDD <- yeah so that's not so big) That also gives me a couple months to plot D:

I am so embarrassed (_ _)~~~ has it really been such a long time since I updated? I can't believe it! I'd like to say I've been super busy.... so that's what I will say. Yeah, that's the reason. *cough*

I got Kimeru's 5th Anniversary Box this week and it made me realize how badly out of it I've been lately, and also inspired me to update! And boy, does the site need it eh? Well.. basically today will be catching up on all the 'informational' ... information that I'm behind on: tour set lists, discography, that sort of thing. I'm also planning on a "Just Because" Kimeru Gift Project since I couldn't handle doing one during Christmas, as well as possibly working on some of the side pages I've been thinking about. There's a lot I've been thinking about doing.. or just finding some of the old side sections, include that on wyse and the Kimeru Bible and stick those back up. Ah...

I hope everyone had a good New Years!

A few people have emailed me about the Kimeru Christmas Project. Honestly, it's extremely up in the air right now: I may be getting a new job and moving soon, and if I do I won't have the time (or money D:) to do the project. However, if I don't get the job, I'll be doing the project. I hope to have an answer soon (it's been driving me crazy), so please be patient with me. m(_ _)m

Added lyrics to Kimeru's latest single as well as "news" about his next single: another collab with Daisuke Asakura!!! *dances* I can't wait! The title's not released yet, but I'm sure it's going to be great! ^______^!v

It's raining outside and I have no desire to go out in it (er, again), so I'm lying in bed like a bum.. updating! XD A little. A little cosmetic surgery here and there: I decided a few pictures peppered around were in order. I want to add back the few random pages I had, and I really want to make a cute "6(+/-) Degrees of Kimeru" page and be a dork and connect him to my other favorite artists, but it's nearing 9PM and I'm running out of steam (=_=).

ANYWAY, I've realized that I'm missing the set list for Kimeru's Spring tour, so I'm begging anyone who has it to please let me know what it is. I got his Summer set, but not the Spring :(. Annnddd there's winter to look forward to, but not for a few more months. Next up: new single! (I wonder if he's going to release a DVD soon, I think it's high time he does XDXDXDXD *greedy*)

Did this update have a point? I don't remember anymore. Ai-ya x.x

Some of you may have noticed the dramatic changes here at meruki.com. Well, I've been online less and less lately, with no time to really give some of these sites the attention they need, so I had to make a few cut backs. I plan on rebuilding Meruki.com into a directory someday; just not today! *falls over*. So much going on.

In happy, Kime-related news, the tracklisting for his new single, "君じゃなきゃダメなんだ", has been released! Check to your right for details, or go to Kimeru.com or Nippon Crown! Also, we got a new fanart! YAY! Please visit that section ;3

I'm off now for rest and relaxation. (Or at least a cat nap @.@)

"with you" is OUT! Have you bought your copy yet? I just got mine in the mail ^___^. I like the summer mix of with you the most XDXD it makes me want to secretly dance in my room :x sshhh don't tell.

As with every Kimeru new release thus far, the lovely that's_my_line has graciously translated the lyrics. They will be up in the Translations section very shortly!

I just got back from Disneyland! (.. ok that was like 2 weeks ago). I bought Kimeru's birthday presents from me there, which includes the most awesomist of things: an Elvis Stitch driving a Pink Cadillac toy.
............
well I thought it was the greatest thing EVER XD maybe he'll understand my warped sense of humor. .. or maybe he'll just be like WTF.

THE POINT IS: the deadline for submitting your letter/present/submission to the Kimeru Birthday Project is JUNE 8th, SO GET YOUR STUFF IN!!!! I've gotten the most sign-ups I've ever gotten, but unless everyone like, you know... sends in everything, I won't get the same amount of submissions. :x

But in the meantime, why not poke around Kimeru.com if you haven't lately? There's a message from TK, photos of his new tour goods, and of course make sure to check up on his Blog and the Staff Blog ^__^v And send him an email!

I can't believe how long it's been since I've updated!!! Has it really been 3 months? The time's been flying by so fast ;_;. I've been so busy!! Forgive me m(_ _)m.

Happily, I've finally updated with information on Kimeru's 11th single with you, as well as posted his spring/summer tour dates. Currently he's doing his special Shining Unplugged tour. From what I've heard, it's really awesome! Too bad I can't join Shining.. or live in Japan to see it XD Oh well, I'll just keep cheering him on from afar!

If you haven't already, please make sure to check out the Kimeru Birthday Project (link in the Gift Project section). Only a few weeks until with you is released! I hope you preordered your copy! (I did ^3^)

So... how's everyone enjoying Kime's new album?? ^0^. My favorite new song is "Summer Girl", but I'm also really into the remix for "Be Shiny" XD. It's really awesome sounding nyah!

Well, besides the release of his second album, there isn't ~too~ much going on. K's Ark 2007 is set to go next month, and I'm sure around then we'll be hearing some sort of news (there always seems to be big news around tour time!) In the meantime, please check out the Translations page for all the new Galaxy Kiss songs!

I've been sort of failing at finding all those radio spot pictures that Kimeru has been in in the last few months, but I did find these two rather recent ones that you can check out ^^

Three pictures of Kimeru at a recent radio show. Note the big panda (sort of scary @.@)

A Video Message from Kimeru about "Galaxy Kiss" ^_^
