@Ada Suilen Our first extrovert!

Take the test here if you haven't already: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
 
If you want to save your results and take surveys and whatnot, you can create an account after you take the test and it'll keep track of everything for you.
 
I'm an INTP/Logician (INTP-T with the role of Analyst and strategy of Constant Improvement, to be specific), which basically means that I will DESTROY you with FACTS and LOGIC! It also means that I'm creative, intelligent and perceptive and that I go off on tangents a lot... at least, that's what the Logician page says in a nutshell. That sounds a bit flattering if I'm honest, but I'll admit to going off on tangents a lot.
 
My specific results are as follows:
35% Extroverted - 65% Introverted
81% Intuitive - 19% Observant (honestly not too sure about this part; I think I'm too sceptical to be considered 81% intuitive)
53% Thinking - 47% Feeling
49% Judging - 51% Prospecting
42% Assertive - 58% Turbulent (again, not too sure about this one... I don't think I'm that angry? Even if I do have a habit of holding grudges but what are ya gonna do 🤷‍♀️)
 
Even with those parts I wasn't too sure about, the test was pretty accurate overall and I'd say this personality type suits me better than the others.

I love kiyoharu's voice :'D Will be nice to hear his voice with hitoki's bass together again.

So far the Twitter is only following roku and kyouki
 

While much of my interest in J-genres were founded on VGM, early-to-mid 00's internet, and anime via CTN/Toonami (shoutouts to the now defunct "Toonami Jetstream"), it wasn't until the YouTube + Google Videos era ('06+'07) where I really discovered bands. Got into indies bands in '08 and '09 w/ bands like Cold Kitchen and OCEANLANE. It was initially hard to get into Visual Kei ('09~'10) b/c it honestly weirded me out. It wasn't that long ago (in the US) when homophobia was the norm and any semblance of makeup was considered "gay" (esp. in the south w/ like 90% devout Christian friends), and I had that shared perspective. It didn't take long to embrace the genre, and it helped me come into my own (and formulate my own opinions) in my teenage years.

omg akane and brazilian blogs are literally my youth
 
my first band was alice nine. the funny thing is that i got to know them accidentally: i was searching naruto's akatsuki amv on youtube and instead of that watched alice nine's pv lol. since then i got totally absorbed by vk fantasy and never watched naruto again...
 

Nightmare was the band that brought me to the VK scene. I was looking up for percings ( I wanted one at the time) and found a picture of Hitsugi on google. Then I learned he was in a band called Nightmare and decided to check it out, and I loved it. It was back in 2006, my first song was Akane. I checked the comments on that video on youtube and found out about Dir en grey which became one of my favorite band then I discovered the GazettE. I downloaded lots and lots of stuff between 2006-2010. I remember using the college's wi-fi to download on brasilian blogs haha. As for J-rock it was One Ok Rock, back when they actually made rock music, in 2010. 

I initially came into Japanese music through anison/soundtracks and JPOP.  But it was L'arc-en-ciel and HYDE around 2004/2005-ish that really spearheaded my descent into J-rock in general. They were still in the pop/mainstream/accessible realm, so it wasn't a huge divergence for me.
 
Visual Kei, on the other hand, was a bit more difficult for me to crack into, as I hadn't had much exposure to "darker" or "heavier" music at the time. But more than that, the general vocal styles that I'd been exposed to initially (DIR EN GREY, Gazette, 12012, and others i forget) were pretty much the antithesis of what I appreciated in vocalists. I just couldn't wrap my head around it (altho i've grown to appreciate and enjoy some of these styles over time). It was RENTRER EN SOI and D'espairsRay who i'd credit with getting me into the VK scene (for as much as one could say that I was actually "into the scene" haha). This was in the span of late 2005/early 2006.
 
Around mid to late 2007 is when I first began delving into the J-indie scene through bands like Ling Tosite Sigure, 9mm Parabellum Bullet, OGRE YOU ASSHOLE, and Lostage...

I think Gackt and Malice Mizer were my first exposure to vk (although I didn't really appreciate MM back then like I should've), and then I went on to listen to bands like Metis Gretel, Megaromania, and Versailles which paved my way into vk completely.
 
It's funny how my musical taste has changed since then xD
 
edit: Now that everyone's mentioning it, Nightmare was kinda my gateway to vk/jrock, along with Uverworld (who have done a bunch of OPs for anime that I watched back then) but of course I haven't cared about them ever since lol

For VK, I first listened to bands like Nightmare, Merry, and Kagerou before being introduced to An Cafe. Although, it was Alice Nine that had gotten me into the scene. I don't listen to them as much as I used to, but they hold a special place among VK bands since they showed me the way into the scene, lol. 
 
For Jrock, I want to say it's L'Arc En Ciel, The Pillows, and Porno Graffiti (do they count?).

I got into VK thanks to the anime Red Garden lol their first ending song was Rock with the LM.C by LM.C it was hella good and tbh, LM.C was the one who made me venture more into the fandom. SCREW was the one who solidified my stay into VK though XD and even till now I follow the previous members of that band, like KHRYST+ and ARTiCLEAR (altho not big on this one).
 
Sadly don't follow LM.C anymore but, will be eternally grateful to them for paving the way for me to enter the Visual Kei world XD

The first band I've ever listened was DuelJewel (thanks to a YT suggestion), but The GazettE brought me to this scene, and I will be grateful with them forever!
