Another Jasmine You mention: Revenant Choir has a page up with translated blog entries/messages from other people in the J-rock industry. Sono and Anzi's are there (along with the entries from the rest of Matenrou), and their translators are waay better than me, so yeah. I'm just relived I wasn't completely off-base on everything. >.> Also, that I don't have to try and translate anything anymore (to satisfy my own curiosity), since Asagi's entry is long and Asagi-ish, and therefore very poetic and... epic. But very nice. And Soan's post is just heart-breaking. Most of the other people who posted knew Jasmine in some way or who just felt connected to him through their music/instrument, or if they were closer friends, their posts are still somewhat guarded, but Soan's isn't.

Subj: To the close friend who's taken a trip far far away

I heard the news of his death

I couldn't sleep

the tears wouldn't stop


Is it a lie?

At first, that's what I thought

Why didn't he ever say anything to me?
Why didn't he rely upon me?

He always talked to me about Zill, the band, or myself

Why couldn't I notice it?

Why this gentle man like this?

There were many other things I wanted to talk about, so come back

[...]

Can I really stand on the stage smiling today?

Is standing on the stage smiling really ok?

What would Jasmine You say?

Hey

Answer me



Is it okay to carry the weight of Jasmine You's notes and deliver them to everyone?


I want to hear the voice

of Jasmine You

of my close friend

the guy who I shared my joys and sorrows with

For Jasmine You

at today's live

I want to send out the music to everyone's hearts

But after I read that page, I came across Miyavi's latest MySpace post. And ignoring the scraggles on his chin, it and the accompanying picture, lifted my mood:
