I finally added scans of Breastroke II onto the website.
Now all I have to do is transfer THE REST of ALL of my images from Photobucket to my server... It'll be a long and tedious process...
Again, sorry for the slow updates...

small COTD FAN update

Hey COTD FANs,

It's been a LONG TIME since I last made actual updates to COTD FAN.
I only added scans from Sadesper Record's Externalization 1 and A Sort of Sound Track for U.F.O..
I also organized the BAND section so it's a lot better to look through now. I also cleaned up the GALLERY section a bit.

The reason why the updates are taking so long is that I'm trying to clean up all the sloppy html codes and I want to transfer all the images from Photobucket to my web server. I dislike Photobucket because they end up shrinking my images and after a long time, they'll stop linking the images due to "account inactivity." I don't want to keep dealing with that in the future so I'm going to move the images to my account and even re-scan some stuff (since Photobucket shrunk them).

I apologize for the long wait.
Updates will take a little longer since I'll be starting summer school tomorrow too...

NARASAKI doing someone's hair for a bridal show. Who knew NARASAKI was good at doing hair? If you look at the photo carefully, you can see that NARASAKI's wearing hide's (X Japan, Spread Beaver, Zilch) necklace!

I don't know where this photo is from and I forgot where I found it, sorry!
I THINK it's from a TOKUSATSU photoshoot.




Nana, COTD FAN Translator & Affiliate, scanned this from a magazine she had. I forgot what magazine it was though...

NARASAKI & function code(); [2007]

In 2007, NARASAKI (He went by NACKIE.) helped out the band, function code();, on two of their songs, UNDYING LOVE and (HeroinE);. [5.27.2010 EDIT: NARASAKI also worked on the songs: THE NIGHT FLUTTER, ALICE IN BROKEN WONDERLAND, BETTINA, CAMELLIA, HIGH DIVER and JULIET - Thanks SerialTear!] I think he mainly helped them out with guitar composition. I'm not exactly sure.

NARASAKI photo

I found this Japanese blog while searching for COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS photos. The blog had a high quality image of NARASAKI (Some of you may recognize the photo from an online interview, but this image in in higher quality.)!
The blog mentions something about ordering a photo along with THE BREASTROKE II (according to Google Translate)... As far as I'm concerned, the official COALTAR OF THE DEEPERS' website never said anything about selling photos. If anyone could translate the blog entry, please do!
