Purlpi

This was SO hard, but I wanted to try it. So here are my 9 albums. In no particular order... 1. D'espairsRay - [coll:set] 2. My Chemical Romance - I brought you my bullets, you brought me your love 3. L'Arc~en~Ciel - Tierra 4. DIR EN GREY - UROBOROS 5. The Used - In Love and Death 6. MUCC - T.R.E.N.D.Y. -Paradise from 1997- 7. Lacuna Coil - Karmacode 8. Apocalyptica - Apocalyptica 9. Placebo - Sleeping With Ghosts

I'm only familiar with the names of some of the artist of that list, but I don't know their music. So... oops? 1. My Chemical Romance - Vampires Will Never Hurt You 2. A (エース) - Grafton Calling 3. F.T Island - Wing 4. SID - Café de Bossa（Live from TOUR 2012『M&W』extra in台湾） 5. Nightmare - PHANTOM 6. DIR EN GREY - Machiavellism 7. VAMPS - The Jolly Roger 8. Garbage - Stroke of Luck 9. 雅-MIYAVI- 子守唄 兼 ラヴソング 10. Foo Fighters - Learn to Fly I don't use to listen to my "general" list, but I guess I should listen to it more often...

Kerrang! posted a list a month before in which you can find 50 albums that you need to hear before you die. To any curious people out there, the list is here. So, what J-music Albums do you think people really need to hear before they die? Maybe we can make a list of 50 albums haha. -- As for me, the first one I thought was [coll:set] from D'espairsRay. I'm not sure about the other ones that I thought, but [coll:set] is definitely one that people must listen to.

Hope I can answer this even when the last reply was in February... DIR EN GREY - Since I decided to start listening Japanese music (thanks to Nightmare's "the world" and a crazy friend), I was looking for music in YouTube and I was jumping between some bands like: Nightmare > Miyavi > the GazettE > Dir en Grey. My first reaction was "What? Japanese people are crazy!" D'espairsRay - A friend of mine discovered that I loved DEG, so she told me "you must listen to D'espairsRay". I search in "Ares" and the only result was "Oboro no Tsuki". I loved them since that song. And my current favorite bands: VAMPS - I was fan of L'Arc~en~Ciel and HYDE, so I discovered them since their announcement 7 years ago. At first I hated them, though. [Alexandros] - Since they performed with VAMPS at JAPAN NIGHT last year (and this year in all the world), I saw them at a JAPAN NIGHT's video report. Love at first sight listen.

Mexico's live will be with Jupiter also as part of "JAPAN LIVE 2015" festival. DIR EN GREY is the headline band, of course. I'm so glad that they finally come back after 4 years, I was sure that they won't come back anymore.

Got them some days ago. Mogamigawa Tsukasa (最上川司) - MATSUPOIYO Regular and Limited Edition

Spanish is my native language (Mexican dialect, wooho!). I've been studying English since kindergarden, but I suck a lot haha. I can speak, write and understand... but I think I really have A LOT of mistakes. I also studied French at University but it was French for translators, so I can read, hear, understand and translate (from French to Spanish/English), but my French pronunciation is horrible. Le français est très difficile!!! I also studied Japanese for 4 years, so yeah... I can have a basic conversation and even use some keigo, write and understand, but just a bit. I want to study German!

I live in Mexico and I haven't traveled to another country (and I was going to go to USA to see D'espairsRay and VAMPS, but at the end I couldn't and I still regret it), so my list is short: ????/?? - BLOOD I don't even remember the year... 2006? The very first Japanese band that I saw, and I wasn't very impressed. It was in an anime event, and I was there due to my brother, so lol. 2009/10 - Miyavi I failed a test thanks to this show. I was at the line at 7 am and my test started at 8 am, so yeah... It was worth it. 2010/06 - Versailles At that time I was huge fan of them, and this show was just two days before my birthday, so it was the best birthday gift EVER. I had VIP ticket, so I got my t-shirt signed and I pissed off Kamijo thanks to Teru and his Engrish. Thanks to that I decided to start learning Japanese. 2011/09 - X JAPAN Mexican crowd gone wild in this show. VERY WILD. I couldn't breath, Yoshiki did a lot of crowd diving and my neck got hurt with one of his boots and his butt lol. 2011/12 - DIR EN GREY One of the best shows ever, I was crying so much when it ended, that show was so wild and so perfect I just can't describe it. I also got a t-shirt signed and a photo with Kaoru and Shinya. 2012/02 - Masami Okui Another anime expo lol. Not my kind of music, but well... 2012/07 - Kaya His live was in a place so small. I just can't say nothing more about it, it was ok. 2014/11 - ONE OK ROCK This and DeG's one are the best Japanese concerts that I had the pleasure to attend. The energy, the passion, the feeling... I won't forget that show no matter what. And I was so close to Taka that could see his fear when he thought about do some crowd diving (and he finally didn't do it </3) 2014/11 - Kanon Wakeshima The most boring one. The worst audio also. Though her Spanish was very cute. 2014/11 - An Cafe I always wanted to see them live (this was their third visit to Mexico) and I loved the concert. You just can't have enough fun with them. 2015/04 - LiSA I attended it due to work (just as some of the above) and I really had fun. 2015/05 - SCANDAL I wasn't fan when I went to this concert, but at the end I surely was their new fan. Awesome show, nice vocals (I loved Rina's voice) and a lot of cool rock. I would definitely see them live again. And soon (since I already got my tickets): 2015/10/03 - VAMPS (finally in Mexico! YES!) 2015/11/07 - DIR EN GREY and Jupiter (thanks to DeG's VIP ticket I will have a picture with the whole band this time. Yay! Still I'm not very happy to hear Zin's voice live...) And I will probably go to ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION's live on November.

Another vote for D'espairsRay here. They still are my favorite band, and I really really love them so much. They mean a lot for me and suddenly they disband just in my birthday. Worst day ever. And deadman... at least aie is still active, but Mako... I NEED him active once again for God's sake.

Los latinos ya invadimos (?) creo que ahora somos más que los españoles. Igual qué gusto ver tanto hispanohablante

Hey, alguien más de México al fin hahaha. ¿Qué tal todos?

D'espairsRay - dope

Wow, muchos españoles. ¡Mucho gusto¡ Yo soy de México No te preocupes, keyinjpop, pero que gusto que hables español~

Estaba paseando por el foro (después de mucho sin entrar, a decir verdad) y encontré esta sección y... ¡no había nada en español! Así que me tomé la libertad de abrir esto para ver si hay algún hispanohablante por aquí escondido que quiera hablar y compartir el amor por la música japonesa en nuestro idioma. ¡Hola! ¿Alguien?

Thank you ^-^
