    Alice Nine's guitarist ヒロト(Hiroto) inspired me to learn the guitar but then The GazettE's guitarist Uruha inspired me to actually take it up and even make me want to become better at it and now I am.

    The GazettE's ルキ(Ruki), ViViD's シン(Shin), and UVERworld's Takuya inspired me to practice my vocals and start to sing some songs and now I sing most of the songs I listen to.

    Heres a better question..are you any good?

    Well like I said, first time I hear of it. But I said what I "clean" singing/vocals means to me, so in that sense some of the choices you guys listed don't make any sense to me. But knowing that it just means no screaming/growling, then yes those choices are right.

    Though I would be curious to know who you would give the nominations to if you were to use my definition of "clean vocals". Any takers?

    honestly when you guys say "clean vocals" I picture a boys choir. LOL

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought "clean singing" was a common term for vocals without screaming, growling, etc.

    Really? first time I hear of it. I mean it could be just me..but clean singing/vocals = pure and undamaged by things like smoking, alcohol or anything of the sort. Do not directly have to be damaged, but some people have a rougher sound naturally, but I'd never call their voices clean.

    ..I say...every vkei vocalist ever is bad. I feel that to be truly Vkei they have got to be bad.

    But there are degrees of bad. Which is why some bands MAKE it, others not so much.

    I dunno...How are you guys judging the vocals here anyway? I mean alright..someone like Mashiro is bad...I mean hes whiny, nasal, off-tune, pronounces his words like he is chewing something..

    Shou of Alice nine you also listed as bad. But the reason you gave is that his voice grates your nerves.. Except he does sing on tune, not always, but he works on it.

    Kyo is often praised by people for his "singing ability" ...And I'm a fan of Dir en grey..was..but I never considered him amazing at "singing". Hes good at being an emotional outlet for their songs.

    I mean being a vocalist is more than just singing ability..its how one expresses emotion, and over all controls the feeling of the song through his voice. Its a tough topic. And if were talking about the WORST then its easier to really just say 98% of vkei just plain sucks. Because being emo and sad and whiny, is way to easy if 99.9% of your audience are people who are into moping around feeling sorry for themselves.

    I'm more interested to see who you would list as the BEST.

    I figure I'd pipe in and say I agree with you and how most Rock music isn't about having a perfect voice anyway. :wink:

    Yeah this is why I think people need to redefine what they mean by BAD. Because I'm seeing a few things at the same time happening. People naming people that ARE BAD, and people naming vocalists that they just DON"T LIKE. Those are two different things. There may be vocalists I don't like, but if they hold their own on stage I'll give them at least some credit.

    I wonder how everyone keep on their diets. :D

    as for me,I always take about 500-600 calories a day.

    lol wat? how are you ALIVE?

    hahaha. I don't know but I always drink water. I guess water helps a lot for making me always shrink and tiny :staru: i'm asian so here in country,we eat rice as main food for lunch and dinner.sometimes prefer rice in breakfast but its bulky to start off morning routines ^___^

    M'dear..he meant you eat too little on a daily average. Tis why you are thin. 500-600 calories a day is not right. I'm not sure what is the calorie intake supposed to be on average for a person..but its more than a 1000 I'm sure. The fact that you are eating so little may or may not be actually hurting you. I dunno what your height is though. But its still way to little, rice or no rice.

    I'm dieting though..currently in normal weight range for my height, but overall I'm going for feeling good about myself rather than looking like a stick :D.

    I go to the gym every week, and I supplement one meal of the day for a protein shake ( HERBALIFE YEAH!) with Vitamins and stuff. Eat regularly ( a lot of vegetables and fruit). Make sure I don't consume anything with too much sodium in it...or sugar...and yeah. I dunno, I can't eat junk food either...it doesn't digest..I get sick XD, so staying off that is fairly easy..I mean who wants to be sick after a meal right?

    OH a thing for girls who think that doing some weight training at a gym will make you bulk up, is a total misconception. You need some weight training if you don't want flabby arms or legs. The idea is that unlike GUYS who need to up the weights to gain muscle, girls don't need to lift like 50lbs. You just don't..Take something light like 5lb and work your arms with it. Its not about the weight, so much as HOW you do it. Since I can't really explain this and need to show, its best to ask a trainer at your gym to show you what to do. But don't be afraid of those weights because they can help you achieve a better body. :)

    Also push ups are great if done properly. You can tone your arms, and strengthen your core. Its awesome. I also recommend Yoga. It kills. XD

    Also I find doing classes that are dance-y is good and fun. You get a good cardio workout and have a blast doing it.

    I shall stop..>.>'

    Honest to God...I both believe and am skeptical. Skeptical mostly of people on TV that claim shit. :T

    That and our mind is a powerful thing. Just with imagination alone you can see some fucked up shit. Believe me. I woke up once to find a little kid sitting on the corner of my bed..TURNS out it wasn't a kid..it was my cat...Her tail was standing up and the light form my window was weirdly casted on her, on top of it all I just woke up in the middle of the night and had no glasses on..LOL So my mind saw my cat, and skewed that image into a little boy. :T

    At the same time me and my friend practically talk in unison almost 24/7 out of nowhere. ( You know how sometimes twins are portrayed where they will speak at the same time the same thing? yeah) But I thought it was just with her and possibly because I know her well, no, its been the same with a lot of people and even one girl who I've never met in person who lives in England. ( Its really creepy to type up the exactly same thing as the person you are talking to on msn with who is an ocean away). So I dunno what to honestly make of this.

    Native language: Russian. ( I was born there and managed to go up to grade 3 before I moved to Canada)

    ...thus English is kinda native to me at this point too...I mean I can think in both...lol..more often in English than Russian too...and writing in Russian is..difficult for me at this point..cause my spelling is awful LOL.

    currently studying: Japanese. since like 3 years ago? yeah...I still suck at it though. XD

    I'm sure tonnes of people have...but they don't reply..like most artists I find LOL

    ( I mean what would you reply to every email that comes in saying " OMG UR AWESOME!!!" ...yeah)

    I know Sujk sometimes replies people on twitter...aaaaaaaaand Leda tends to reply only the Japanese fans....when they are talking about guitars or music. But overall I think they are too busy to bother with actually contacting fans back.

    ^ Uh its not indefinite...its quite definite they WILL come back. I trust Leda's word. And if anything he said to think of this as winter vacation. I'm guessing you didn't read anything Leda posted. :T
