ASRUN DREAM, named after the Gackt song of the same name, used to be ASRUNDREAM.NET. The domain expired and the site was moved to MidnightRevolution.org. There were a lot of subsites on AD.net that have since not been updated, so they've been removed and only the meat of the site remains.
AD is basically the accompanying webspace to our jrock blog Shiroi Heya and hosts all the image, media, and archive files for the blog. Realistically, there's very little to see on the main AD.net site itself. Go to Shiroi for the real deal. =P The only site that really remains affiliated with us is the Takui fansite I run with NightMajik, God Save the Rock 'n Roll.
[ABOUT LAYOUT]
Version 2 features You of Gackt Job from one of the pictures on the Mizerable mini-album booklet. Front lyric line taken from X (Japan)'s Say Anything.
[ABOUT US]

I'm your average rock and roll freak with some classical music training added in. I'm more fascinated with the technical part of music and more than anything I enjoy a great guitar solo, a strong bassline, a talented drummer, and especially vocalists who can sing! The jrock bands I enjoy listening to the most are the more old-school ones such as Glay, L'Arc~en~Ciel, or X Japan.
On the other hand, it's not to say I don't enjoy the emotional part of music as well. That's the primary reason I love jrock so much; it's the music, not so much the words, that convey the feeling of the song. Good lyrics help, of course, and being a writer, I can appreciate the beautiful lyrics in the jrock genre. It's hard to say what it is about music that can move the human spirit; why just a chord or phrasing bring out hidden emotions within us.
My love for jrock extends even to my other pursuits: my favorite anime is (surprise, surprise) Macross 7. And while I'm writing this, I can't forget to thank my brother, without whom my jrock obsession would have never happened.

I'm the more experimental of the two of us I suppose. While I can groove to a solid bassline and headbang like the best of 'em, I'm more fascinated when artists paint mental and emotional pictures with music. I love it when music tells a story. I suppose that's why I like Malice Mizer and Lareine so much. Both are "concept-oriented" bands, musicians who aren't afraid to play with different sounds and styles to transport listeners into another world.
On the other hand, I'm also a big 80's hair band fan so anything remotely sounding like hard rock or heavy metal will appeal to me. There is no deep emotion involved in listening, just the overwhelming need to bang your head and just jam. I'm also the one more likely to fall prey to a sappy ballad just like any other fawning fangirl. Interspersed between my Malice Mizer and Penicillin tracks are SMAP and Kinki Kids songs. Truly opposite sides of the spectrum but hey, I'm not too discriminatory when it comes to music. I don't care what style, what genre, or what category something falls in. What is essential, is that it moves me in some way.
