Maybe you know the Korean band "The TRAX". They are going to Japan and Yoshiki is producing them. Their first single in Japan will be pubished on December, 15th. The title is "Scorpio" and it will be produced by Yoshiki.
Their website is http://www.thetrax.com/ (korean) and http://www.trax-net.jp/ (Japanese).

I'm sorry that I didn't make any updates since July, I try my best. I have a new job now as system programmer (or whatever it is called in English, the German word is "Systementwickler"). I'm really happy about that because it is a "real" job and I even have an unlimited contract but it also means a lot of work... also I want to take the JLPT (only level 4) in December so I have to work hard on my (rather poor) Japanese ^_^

Hello everybody!
Thank you very much for all the kind wishes for finding a new job. One day before the last day of my contract they decided that they want to keep me and I got my contract renewed so I still have a job. At the moment I try to organise my time a little better and I hope to make more updates here (and finally answer all your mails -_-)

Yesterday I was on a concert of Patti Smith. She is one of my favorite artists (beside X) and it was the first time to see her live. It was really great. She is such a powerfull woman. Unfortunaly I fogot my camera at home, so no pictures.

That's all for now... sorry, I have no X-related news at the moment...
bye Katrin

Well, I'm really sorry that there weren't updates the last time... I moved in a new flat and it's still very chaotic and "strange" for me.
also a great wish of mine comes true: tomorrow I'll fly to Japan for a holiday trip... I hope to be able to make some updates and answer your mail (thanks to all of you who wrote me) when I'm back.... ~Katrin

but I hope to find some time after it...
