What emotions inside of you, or the music itself initially drew you to Japanese music (from Visual Kei, to Japanese Rock, to Japanese Indie, etc...) and has that list of emotions grown or changed over time as you grew, and discovered new bands? Lyrics were (and still are to some extent) a major draw in when it comes to music to be since ever. When I first got into Japanese music, I'd check out Jpop because I liked the sadness and tranquility most singers expressed in their ballads, such as Utada. I always had a thing for weak/pitchy vocals, and soon after I discovered singers like Ryu of Pura, Gackt, Hyde and T.M Revolution all becoming my favourites. This is because of their themes in their songs such as loneliness and lost love are emphasized because of their 'broken' voices. Overall, the emotions are pure and devastating. Gackt never fails to make me cry on occasions, and I love it when songs can make me so emotional. I'd deal with various emotions like anger to these slower and quieter songs too. Another factor which has been evident since I first for into Japanese music was Oshare Kei; LM.C and An Cafe in particular. I think it's some of the most uplifting music out there, and it never fails to make me happy. My taste in this music hasn't changed at all through the years since I got into Jmusic really, I just got into more and more musicians, like 9GOATS BLACK OUT and other VK ones. Do you find unique feelings in Japanese music that you can`t find elsewhere? I don't give anything apart from Asian music a chance these days really. I doubt it's because of the Japanese tie in (like anime/manga, the culture, e.c.t) but more because of the language. I find the Japanese language really pretty and elegant, and that's why I think Japanese music has that charm I don't find anywhere else. Jmusic is now something in need every day, so I think it's unique to me in that I can't go without it too long. Do you relate more to the musicians or sound than other kinds of music? Musician wise, I can say yes. Never have I found a musician as interesting as Ryu from Pura. I think I can relate to him in a way. Nothing pulls me in more than lyrics and vocals though. The sound or music isn't too much of a big factor in what I enjoy either, even if ballads is more of my thing than anything. If the energy is right, and the beat catches me, then that's all I need. It just becomes more powerful is the lyrics are impactful.

Also, refrain from putting up Private Messages out into the open. It's a 'PM' for a reason. Be considerate.

Cool, had no idea about the rehash, quite a choice. Still thought it'd be an interesting comparision anyway. Seeing as this was their latest stuff, I just went for it.

These two all female bands began morphing into a different kind of girl band from how they originally debuted. Aldious started out as a metal/Visual Kei group, now becoming more like the typical mainstream girl band, while FLiP were known for their rocking tunes which now sounds like sweet, sugary J-pop. (Sound when they debuted) (Sound change, plus change of vocalist) Sound when they debuted (Sound change)

^ lol. I was highly agitated when I saw that Natsume song will be used for 'Pixels.' Guess it's fitting but.. eww. Really can't decide whether I love the girl or hate the girl. Personally becoming rather uninterested with Kyary. It's all very copy-and-paste. Don't really have much to add other than I'm interested in the upcoming SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] album. Literally staying up-to-date with all this on arama, lol. All of that drama about Fukase and Kyary, and Ayumi vs Namie doe.
