Here's a new drawing that Niki doodled of me this month:

Now just to wind her up I've gone and changed my look again, arf! XD My latest acquisitions are a long straight silver wig (so elfy!) and a new pair of 16mm glass eyes which are a lilacy-lavender colour with magenta pupils. Pretty funky! ^^ These new eyes can look dark or pale depending on lighting conditions.

Silver eyes, pink eyes...

2007-11-13T07:00:00.000-08:00

Some lovely metallic silver Volks 16mm eyes from our good friend Chibi J... check me out - Ice Man or what?! ;3

My default rose-pink 18mm Dollzone eyes next... notice that I now have eyelashes. ^_~ I've taken to wearing black mascara, fufu. I'm so vain! XD

Wrote a new song

2007-08-20T11:21:00.000-07:00

Hey all.
It's been a while since I wrote new material for the band and so I've been composing again. Here are the lyrics from my new song (this blog's namesake)...

Honou To Hyoushou - Red Rocket Rising
Lyrics by Kotaro Nishiura

~Verse 1~

And so it came to pass
The memories of that year
Scattering like cherry blossom on the wind

They had a new hope
Carrying their dreams beyond a silver sky
There was a red rocket rising

~Verse 2~

Her thoughts tumbling like the pouring rain
As she sits at the window, she knows
There is no returning to that time

But she must cut loose from these old bonds,
Take a chance, discover life anew
She sees a red rocket rising

~Chorus~

Come with me and I'll show you the sky
At one with the stars we will never die
If nothing else, take this one wild trip
Entrust heart and soul to this rocket ship

~Verse 3~

He's seen the rise and fall of an age
In the turning of four seasons
His mind a fragile temple, he's seen so much too soon

~Refrain~

You can't be everything to everyone
We all bear our share of pain
But grasp the future with both hands
And we can learn to live again

(repeat chorus)

~verse 4~

I know it won't fix everything
I'm just a wandering stranger
But take my hand...

I'll show you my world
Accept this kiss, and you will understand
I'll be your red rocket rising

(repeat chorus x 2)

Yo, world...

はじめまして、なまえはKotaroです。よろしくね~
Hi, thought I'd make my first post and introduce myself. As you've probably gathered, my name is Kotaro (you may call me Kota). Here's a pic of me;

Hope to post plenty more photos in due course, but since I arrived in the UK earlier than expected (shh, it's a secret!) I may not get around to regular blogging until sometime in September. Anyway, since my vital statistics don't really fit into my blog profile I'll pop them here:

Full name: Kotaro Juusan Nishiura (this is the human name I've adopted; my original incubus name is unpronounceable unless you are also a demon).
Gender: Male
Race: Incubus
BJD make/model: Dollzone Yuu – white skin
Face-up: DZ custom
Eyes: Red... though I'm happy to wear contacts of varous colours
Hair: Naturally black, but I often change my look.
Age: Not exactly sure, but chances are I'm ancient... centuries old, in fact. Most humans assume I'm in my early twenties, and I'm cool with that. ^_~
Arrival (UK immigration) date: 13th August 2007
Orientation: I'm an incubus, remember? Anything goes!
Occupation: Lead vocalist of J-rock band "Honou To Hyoushou"
Talents/abilities: Singing, composing, natural ability to play virtually any instrument (my favourites are guitar, violin and piano), the art of seduction, the power of suggestion, swordsmanship, martial arts
Likes: Plenty of s3x, tight trousers, performing, being creative, reminiscing, wining and dining (though eating and drinking is not compulsory for an incubus), antiques, swords, martial arts training, cats
Dislikes: Cruel/evil people, creative restrictions, celery

Personality/Background:
(Origin of info - Honou To Hyoushou website)
Cheeky, witty and fun to be around, Kotaro is basically a nice guy... which is rather irregular considering he is an Incubus, a sort of erotically inclined demon. He is the one that formed the band Honou To Hyoushou, by collecting, as he sees it, "People with music in their blood". He is driven by his vision of being able to enthral an audience and make them sway to his will and voice.
Being a demon, Kotaro was spawned in the underworld. When, he can't remember. All he remembers from there are the endless routines over and over again. His existence has been awfully boring but normally, a demon would not care, as it would not feel, and therefore would not know boredom. But Kotaro evolved above what he was and learned what emotions are.
Unlike most demons, he has a lot of imagination and a well developed ability to adapt to any given situation. This comes mostly from his introspection and empathy with others. Some of his masters in the underworld would say he was created flawed, and that he should be destroyed. Others are fascinated and see Kotaro as perhaps the next generation of demons in the making.

So there you go... that's me. Guess I'll see you around!
