    I remember reading (or seeing from somewhere) where Ryutaro was quoted saying: "I don't really think about the genre when writing songs. I just think about which sound would best express what I write about", or something to that effect. I believe this is a good practice, that way they would never get restricted to one particular sound (and in turn, widen their fanbase).

     

    Just a thought. :)

    I wasn't a fan of pura at first, and I only had/liked a couple of their songs. The first pura song I heard was Sanatorium, and it actually became soundtrack of my 2012 second quarter. It wasn't until I started reading about their history and influences that I started to understand why/how they sound the way they do. I realized that a good number of their influences were the same as mine growing up. That's when I really started to listen to their songs and ended really loving them.

     

    Not sure if it has any relevance, but my middle name is actually "Pura" and my band's name is "Atori". Just a funny coincidence.
