Word and Image

Sentimental I know, but I need cheering up!
 


Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by

If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?

You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

lyrics john turner  and geoffrey parsons

The samurai sword 1

The samurai sword 1

With the nemuri role about to assume greater prominence and with Gackt no doubt honing his swordsmanship, I thought that I would make a couple of posts for Gackt Army about the samurai sword. 

I am happy to do this because, apart from the RnRII live, the highlight of my trip to Japan last year was a visit to the shinjuku sword museum (despite stiff competition from cherry blossom, castles, temples, gardens and sake!) so I have plenty of reference material. 

The samurai sword is a complex and detailed subject, so please excuse some generalizations and omissions which I have made in the interest of keeping things simple.

Seems that the next Dears trip will be in Barcelona, Spain!

7 day trip (5 nights stay? How...how does that work??)
Scheduled to depart in mid September
Departing from Narita and Kansai Airport.

There will be more details sent out at the end of April.

I better start saving up! >.>
