Tetora, you are beautiful.

Product of a recent shoot. Pardon me I had to draw all over it, ehehehe.
 
Admiring everyone elses photos, looking good!

Ooh Tetora you look so handsome in that pic! Pls some moar pics!

jk...I guess they're not the same. I tried my hardest to copy you.
 

I love:
 
Takanori Nishikawa (TM Revolution, Abingdon Boys School)
His never-ending range, controlled tremolos, amazing melodies, honest lyrics...
But beyond all that, the attitude, the Never-Give-Up spirit. The effort he puts into everything, the diverse discography, the work with other artists, etc... My vocal hero.
 
Shou (Alice Nine, Givuss, Lost Age)
Loved his nasal tone, deep melodies, tremolos, energy, and transparency in tone.
Prefer the early stuff up until Gemini tbh. It is more my style, though I love what he does in smaller live performances.
Big inspiration to me.
 
Gackt (Solo, YFC)
Deep voice and style that inspired many.
Great emotional touch, soft falsettos, moaning lyrics, very original melodies and presentations...
Another big inspiration.
 
Keiyuu (Kra, Tokyo High Black)
Never really thought about it, just simply, and purely love his work.
 
Yui (UNiTE)
I really connect with him and his vocals.
Nice, youthful, and feel real to me.
 
Hyde (L`arc En Ciel, VAMPS, Solo)
Distinct, deep, vocals that don`t have to be harsh to hit hard.
 
Chisa (DIV)
New-comer by comparison, but just like his band is moving up in the ranks fast.
Something about his slightly deep voice that rings so clear and aesthetically that it is just a pleasure to turn up the volume and listen to. Love his original lyrics too, using PS Vita instruction booklets, talking about feelings through flavours, telling ghost stories, etc...
 
 
These are just some of my favorites that I enjoyed sharing with you. I have many more.

Currently obsessed with: 少年記 - ガゼルバベル
I'm actually obsessed with this band in general, but I'll just talk about their newest single.
 
It was love at first listen. When I watched the 40 second PV preview, I had to play it another 30 times. I'm terrible with wording, but just those 40 seconds made me realize that this was essentially something I wanted to hear for the longest time. It felt familiar, but new; generic but unique all at the same time. The buildup to the chorus is just beautiful and the actual chorus is just WOW. I never bought anything so fast. It was like 20 mins after first hearing the preview, I went on CDJapan and bought that shit asap.
 
So as soon as I started listening to the full version of the song, I was like "lolwhatisthis?" The intro is:
 
 
I go to the top of the Tower of BABEL with my GAZELLE.
It have two pairs of horns with "emotion".
Sleep in my mind...
I go to the top of the Tower of BABEL with my GAZELLE
 
in my fate.
 
 
 
I felt awkward for like 5 seconds and I was over it. I kinda feel like it doesn't fit with the rest of the song but it's used to end the song as well so...idk. It sounds like some weird Engrish pop intro and upon my first listen, I wasn't into it. As of right now, It doesn't really bother me but I think the song could do without that but then again, I don't know shit so   Rest of the song is breathtaking. The guitar play and the solo makes me sweat. I wasn't expecting there to be screams/growls because the preview sounded so beautiful and angelic but I'm totally into them so it doesn't really matter. THAT CHORUS THOUGH UGH   I don't really know what the concept is for the song since I don't know Japanese but in the PV, there's a gazelle, the tower of Babel, and the vocalist and his clone(?) which is a shadow of himself I'm guessing. Basically, I feel like it's about inner conflict and battling with "yourself" which is hot. Biblical references in songs are hot too.   This band doesn't have a drummer so it makes me think "What would they sound like with an actual drummer? Better? Worse?"  I like how they sound now without one.    

I checked out 少年記 because I saw Mi'ihen pushing them, so I was like, oh okay, I am really feeling that Gazelle song.
Maybe another one of my current favorites is Theatre by ViViD, I am always coming back to that.
Or Butterfly Dreamer, or Point of View, both by DIV.
As for Non-Japanese I like 「Closer」 by Tegan and Sara, kinda not my style, but I always followed them since their debut, because their first release had a review in RIDE BMX magazine and I used to listen to whatever they reviewed... So good memories of these groups whenever I get to go riding.
As for changing things in my favorite songs, its not my style to think like that so I just enjoy for what I see it as.

Yes! I just started it a couple weeks ago and my friend and I watch it together. I feel like a lot of people overhyped it, but then again, I'm only 8 episodes in (I think). I enjoy it and it's funny but I'm not like "WOW THIS IS SO GOOD OMG." I'll finish season 1 and most likely season 2 as well.  
 
Laura Prepon's voice breathes new life into me.

only thing i want: the last guardian. thanks. (and yes i know that wont happen)

Hello,
 
These are some of my favorite sketches that I always keep around for motivation / inspiration. I don`t set out to draw anything anime / manga styled, but this is how I see things and how things come out when I just draw people. I have studied realistic styles, and anatomy when I was young, but now I like to play around and make things different, like different faces, wide shoulders, slim waists, etc... None of these are `finished` drawings, I just sketch for five minutes or less until I get the outline of what I want.
 
I have not drawn much in a while because I have many other things to do, hopefully posting these motivates me to get back to doing another thing I love.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 
But most of all I just hope you enjoy looking, I share because I see many great creators here and enjoy seeing your stuff as well.
