XII

Hrrr it has been so cold for the past few days~ There hasn't been that much snow here during this winter but now its finally snowing. And it doesn't seem to have an end...


These past couple of weeks have gone running. I have my first final exams at the end of the week and had all kinds of training exams before them. Basically all I have done is studying~ But we have this event coming up in our school! Its a senior's day where us, the seniors, dress up in costumes and give a little show to the whole school ´u` At the end of the day we go on a ride with trucks and throw candy to students that are still in primary school~ And then we do for a 24 hour cruise! 

This year our school's theme is Hollywood so basically we have to dress up as characters from movies, actors or actresses. Or a basic evening dress is also fine. I got my costume a few days ago and its perfect *w*  Not gonna tell you what it is yet! It will be a surprise~

Its finally the time of the year for Melodifestivalen again! Its this Swedish music contest where all sorts of artists and bands compete to be the one who represents Sweden in the Eurovision song contest~ And for those who don't know what that is, its basically a huge music contest that is shown all around Europe and its an honor to be able to represent your own country in there.


Yohio was in Melfest last year too but he placed second and didn't make it to the Eurovision. It was unfair since the Swedes voted him to the win but he didn't get enough votes from the other European countries that were voting too. I mean its Sweden's candidate so shouldn't it be their decision who they're going to choose? 


But anyways! This year Yohio's song is called To the End and it's written by Yohio himself with Andreas Johanson, Peter Kvint and Johan Lyander. It wasn't a bad song but it wasn't the best either. It was catchy nut I still prefer Heartbreak Hotel over it, which was his song last year. There was something missing.  I didn't get the "Wow" experience that I got last year. The choreography was a disappointment to be honest. Since Yohio has that much energy and he can move nicely on the stage then why shouldn't you make something exiting this year too? I mean you looked gorgeous but I would like to see something else than you just standing in the middle of the stage...

He did make it straight to the finals though! I knew I could trust Swedes in this one ´u` I hope he does something to the performance still, now that he has time to improve it. Here's the video from the show:


Best wishes,
N-chan~ ♥

  1. Hi!
    Didn't have the time to comment before, so apologies :3
    How did your exams go?
    The senior day sounds fun, but I have a question about the cruise! I'm pretty sure that it'll be centered pretty much around alcohol/partying, and I recall you didn't use alcohol at all? So are you gonna just enjoy it sober or what? I believe that could actually be a pretty good idea since you can actually remember it afterwards :D
    Waiting to see your costume x3

    Can't really say anything about Yohio, besides that he has pretty much nailed the japanese-finalfantasy-anime-look :D (don't know if this part of some sort of japanese/something subculture, so please enlighten me). I listen to very different music, so he's songs didn't really appeal to me.

    1. Hiya~
      Well not so great :'D But we'll see when I get the final results back!
      Well you're right about the cruise and yeah I'm going to enjoy it sober. But I'm not the only one of my friends who is not going to drink so I'll have some company ^-^

      Yohio's style is called Visual Kei~ I'm not going to explain it all in here since it would take ages and I would need some kind of a whiteboard to demonstrate it :b But basically Visual Kei has been inspired by western rock bands like Kiss etc. and Japanese people just developed the style and Visual Kei was born. And I think nowadays the VK-bands also take influence on anime too :3 Basically in VK you're appearance is as important as your music, sometimes its even more important.
