DJ TECHNORCH - 一回性二階席 ～STRAIGHT～

I'm super stoked, I hope it's more stuff like CAPS LOCK. Though I agree, I would love to hear more of Toshiko (and not in pseudo-vocaloid form).

I'm down whenever.

The site is back up... kinda. No new update. Basically, they restored the site but any points you earn or songs you add to your playlist won't save. They're still backing things up.

How much does Japanese music add to your life? I feel like getting into Japanese music has added being more open-minded to my (musical) life. I find myself checking out more artists no matter what language or the genre because of it. I haven't been "seriously" listening to Japanese music for a long time, in fact it's just over 3-4 years. It's also allowed me to be more tolerant of other people's tastes. I remember when I used to think experimental music was weird and that listening to music in languages that you don't understand was pointless. Also, without getting into Japanese music I wouldn't have many of the friends that I have today. Would there be any benefits to not having it, like a heavier wallet or bigger bank account? Or is it just plain worth it? My wallet and bank account would definitely benefit if I wasn't into this music because importing albums from Japan is a pain in the butt and expensive. But so worth it. I like supporting artists that I like. <3 Do you have irreplaceable friends you found through Japanese music? Yeah. Has it opened up your life more? Gave you an interest in Japanese culture? How would your interests change if you didn`t have this music? I've always been interested in Japanese culture but my interest definitely increased when I got into the music. I had always liked anime, manga, and thought Japanese was a cool looking language . Honestly, without Japanese music in my life, I wouldn't be learning Japanese right now or have had the desire to change my major to Asian Studies (with a concentration in Japanese studies). I really think it's made me who I am today. Without Japanese music... I'd probably be listening to pop music like Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, etc. just a lot more (though to be honest I already listen to them a lot). I think over time I would have went from pop music to indie music, and then bouncing back and forth between those with some rock albums thrown in... that seems to be a common pattern for me.

plug.dj said that they were going to be in maintenance all last night and this morning, but would give us an ETA (estimated time of arrival) for the new site. But that got delayed as well. Anyway, I guess I'm not surprised it's being delayed again. Stuff happens. However I also feel that it's good they aren't rushing to get the site online because that would probably create more issues. Just thought I would post this for people who aren't following them on Facebook or Twitter.

It'll be nice to be able to use the site without lag and crashing every 10 minutes.

They totally ruined the old avatars. :/ But I'm still looking forward to the update.
