Fictional bands: movies edition

So last two weeks I let Cypsis write the posts as I felt that those things are something that everybody in the fandom should know - there's hope for us fangirls (and boys). Well those were the things I can't write as my life at the moment can be divided into two: professional life that is all about improving myself and fangirl life that is all about watching dramas/anime/manga while eating litres of ice-cream.

Yet somewhere in the middle I've had the joy to get to know more people and enjoy awesome music. Here's a shout out to Bastille, Hurts, Bad Things and 30 Seconds to Mars, whose concerts I attended within one week. So I'll give you more bands that I'd like to hear live and alive.

Of course don't get confused - from all these bands only LANDS have temporarily existed in real life - back in 2010 - I even remember how the promotional bus drow pass me when I was walking in Shinjuku. Hopefully I'll see some promotional buses again soon! But this time with actually going to the concerts (but more about this topic in the future).

Fictional bands

 I feel like a little piece of unicorn poop - sparkly and beautiful, but still poop. The reason is that a lot of things have happened in my personal life and it turns out uni x job x social life = "but I wanted to watch dramas tonight!!". On the other hand there has been a lot of amazing stuff happening and I hope it will get even better.

As I went to a concert last week, I decided to make a post about fictional bands of Asian dramas (meaning all actual bands that have made cameos in dramas won't be included). Whose concert would you want to go to?

This post is dedicated to our little sister. She has been a fan of an American band for 4 years and this year they made a world tour! (yes, a world tour in a sense that they went all over the world not only in the 4 closest countries -.-) Anyway when it came out that they will do that, She didn't even think that it would be possible to go (as they didn't come to our country). As I am a fan myself I thought how I'd felt if my favourite band would come so close to me. And then it was decided - I knew I had to take her all the way to Sweden just to make her dream come true. Needless to say she was extremely happy - can't say I felt any less happy :D

R5 - our little sister's favourite band - and me without heels
