My first music video (link expires on April 2nd)

I used Delphinium's song Gakedoru and clips from Kagerou's PV for Idol Gurui no Shinraku and Vidoll's PV for Chocoripeyes. They both had the rotating camera and I could see Jui imitating Daisuke, but I didn't get around to making that terribly obvious in the MV, oh well. I cut it off a bit because I got tired (the song's 5 and a half minutes... I ended it after 4 minutes.) but I like how it turned out. If you watch it, comment on the comment board to the left of this window.

[Japanesque.NET]
Welcome to Japanesque, currently in holding pattern number fourteen. This fine domain is owned by Minagi, an individual who always has trouble describing herself. Fortunately, you don't need to know anything about her to visit here. This site will get the least amount of updates, but it will always be a portal to all Minagi's sites, even those hosted other places.

[Updates]
Monday, March 27, 2006: Hey, look what domain got an update! It was about time. I think I last updated it before I left for Otakon (August 05). Minagi-chan.com is due next, but I have to get that domain back first, and then I gotta make a layout that's better than the one up. I'm really noticing lately how outdated it is, but it still does something for me a lot of my usual up and down layouts don't. Anyway, (talk about going off on a tangent) I hope you enjoy this new and improved version of Japanesque!

[Sites]
Since there's more than one type of site with me, I'll do categories like a lot of people do.

[Active Sites]
Moonshine
Moonshine is my most beloved site, and has been around for about three years. That's longer than the usual mp3 rotation sticks around, and I knew when I started I wasn't going to give up. My favorite mp3 rotation went down before I started Moonshine, although I had a mp3 site before then. I don't know where the remnants of that site are, I'm afraid they're on one of the drives I lost.

n:EROgrotesque
My Nero (drummer of Merry) fanlisting. It's been re-approved by TFL.org, and yet it still doesn't have the members Nero deserves. I should totally update the layout and add more codes, I bet that might do something.

Beauty Complex
My Zero (bassist of D'espairsRay) fanlisting. I lost approval for this one, although it went to someone who affiliated with me. I thought she was doing a good job running it, but she lost approval too and I don't even think it's online anymore. I haven't applied for this one again, even though I'd like it, because I don't really feel like it right now.

[Static Sites]
Asian Music Magazine
AMM was a huge group project I started a long time ago, and usually around summer I try to resurrect it, but during the school year it just sits there and I don't even know if it gets any traffic. I can't take it down because it's got so many other people's work on it, everyone worked so hard to review bands and albums for it, and I can't really change it too much, because again it's not entirely mine. I mean, it technically is, but you know what I mean. I keep thinking I need to take it over and make it my own, but I don't know what I'd do with everyone's reviews then. And I wish it would get popular, but it just won't. *sigh*

Jesque
Jesque is short-form for Japanesque, and I made it the name of my scans site. I got ambitious thinking I could make it as popular as Public Eyes or something, and making nicer, larger, less cropped scans than anyone else specifically for layout-making, but because of the LJ communities made just for scans I figured I'd give up while I was ahead. It's got some nice scans up now, if you're curious. I had totally forgotten about it until today, lol. I should've started using those scans a long time ago.

GACHA GACHA
I'm not even sure what this site's called, but it's an old 'fansite' for Etcetera, which was a random visual-kei band without a homepage. I put up one of their mini-albums and a scan out of the first Cure magazine I ever bought. Just an example of something I'd make when I'm bored. I left it up because it's still intresting.

[Dead Sites]
Many, many, many.

Minagi Manga, a popular site that I put manga scans up on for people to sample manga with. I liked it up until the point where I realized no one likes manga as much as I do.

Habuki, a free graphics site I co-owned with Steph. I think the layouts we had on there were mostly crap compared to what we make now, but that doesn't surprise me since there's hardly any free graphics sites making quality layouts to pass out. We've been thinking of doing free graphics again, but I doubt it'll be called Habuki.

Firey Spirits, Steph's and my old blog. I still know where it is, but I don't wanna give you a link. We made a separate blog just for quizzes, and I remember that blog got its own layout as well. Lol.

Mahi Doku, my old Dragon Knights fansite. There wasn't another fansite when I started and closed it, but now there HAS to be. I know there's a graphics site. I'm #9 on the official fanlisting which has over 200 members now. *B00YAH* That's not the only place I'm high on a huge list, ahaha.

Suiren, my "collective." It's a responce to Steph's collective, Ayame. Both are named after flowers. Although, Steph's was cool and mine was teh suxors.

Vanilla, a oekaki board that worked as long as people visited it. I haven't even tried visiting it lately, but I'm sure I've got the files somewhere.

[External Extensions]
These are places outside my domains that I have the power to change. Well, if that made no sense just go to a few of them and you'll figure out what I mean.

Myspace
This isn't quite my home away from home, but it does have some cool things. I put up a photolist of some of my favorite j-musics, and there's real photos of me. Yes, ME! If you're curious to see a good Satsuki cosplayer I'm one of them and I put a photo up there. Yeah, there's other stuff but it's pointless to list it.

Livejournal
My LJ, obviously. I should probably update the F-O sign, it doesn't match the layout.

Deviantart
I put a lot of art up here, although none of my layouts. It's usually drawings, although I put up some photography.

[Layout]
This version (I don't remember number) features the vocalist of Kra. I can't remember his name. I scanned the image myself and drew everything in the layout myself, so all credit is mine. MINE, I TELL YOU. Anyway, I guess I named it nanairo everyday because that's what's written below and to the left. Don't ask me why I wrote that. I was listening to the NANA soundtrack. Speaking of which, I still need to finish watching that movie. Anyhow. Layout looks best in IE on anything but a MAC (you need colored scrollbars) with a resolution of at least 1024x768.
