In 2002 I saw some Visual bands in an Anime and Manga magazine... I thought everyone would look like girls before cause someone told me all those Japanese rock bands do. XD But they didn't looked like girls, I could see those where men.(It was a picture of Dir en grey in their Filth outfits btw and a picture of Malice Mizer) So I was disappointed. And I listened to some Anime OSTs. I think my first song was Forever Love from X-Japan. But I started listening to Japanese rock bands for real in early 2006, a friend showed me Gackt and Hyde. I really liked both and I started to listen to more and more music. I remember I went through a phase where I liked every band I started listening to. XD Oh well... But now I am more picky.
