This one’s for all you movie lovers out there. The vocalist of Sito Magnus, Sybila, states that his favorite movie is Francis Ford Coppola’s version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
Any one seen that? IMDB is an amazing thing. I love horror films, but what I absolutely can’t live without is a good zombie movie.

Since there was a comment asking about how to make an ameba blog I decided to make a tutorial. There aren’t any pictures or anything, but I think I made it pretty simple. And since many band guys have ameblogs it could be useful for you to keep track of everyone’s updated entries if you had one of your own, right? So let’s do it!

Kikasa (ex Due le Quartz, Shelly Trip Realize, [FIGURE:] recently posted in his blog about his health, specifically his diet. Yes, it seems he is on a diet. This is what he said about it.
Jogging. Jogging.
Recently, for the sake of my diet I’ve decided to start jogging.
Originally I hated running. I used to alway think “I want to run!” but because I was a smoker every time I go to run I felt like I was dying.
So if I can go 5 days without smoking, I will run!

Venus pointed out their blog has moved and now each of the band members have their own! Well, the blogs themselves aren’t really new. I noticed this but also noticed that Jun’s blog link wasn’t working. Since they mentioned it I thought now would be a good time to do the same on S-T! I also got the correct link for Jun’s blog for S-T readers. You can find the blogs at the following addresses:

Back in October of 2007 MASASHI, yu/shi and syo formed BarKiraca and performed their first live with just the three of them. Not long after, in January Syo left the band.
But never fear, they are now a four member band with a steady support drummer on hand!
The members are:
Vocals – 朔 (Saku)
Vocals & Guitar – MASASHI
Guitar – yu/shi
Bass – AKIRA
Support Drums – SAW
The band says that they’re a five member mixture pop band from Osaka, but lately they’ve also been doing activities around Nagoya and Tokyo.
There’s new news on any releases as of yet, and the disography section on their OHP is blank, but hopefully we’ll be able to hear something from them soon!
Now here’s an added… ‘specialness’ for the band. Click on the member’s photos to see the pictures they have posted of themselves on the OHP.
I think you might be in for an odd surprise.
