Not sure if this should go to Cats with good ideas (though I surely am one)
Can you just leave the forum like this for a while? pls? 

Lustknottaro will be the best anime ever.

I prefer to travel alone as well because most people aren't interested in the same kind of things. Anyway I have a few amazing though somewhat random memories of the time I was living in Japan:
 
1) Cycling 20km just to see Japanese pampas grass. I was dead beat at the end of it but to witness the expanse of golden lights dancing at dusk when the grass is in season was something special.
 
2) I found myself in a very rural part of Ise because I had visited the shrine in the morning and didn't want to return to Kyoto so early. There, local trains run once every 2 hours. While waiting for the train I met a high school girl who approached me to ask for the train schedule, whether the next train stops at every stop, and a bunch of other strange questions (for a Japanese at least). From our conversation that followed I found out that was her very first time taking the train - she cycles to the next village for school every day but that morning her bicycle had died so she had no choice but to take the train. I remember teaching her how to pay for the train ride and the priceless look on her face when the train started moving =D
 
3) I wandered into this small ramen place in rural Gifu when I was in the area as a stopover between Takayama and Nagoya. They had no menu whatsoever. Apparently the shopkeeper knows every single of her customers, and she would get their orders ready the moment they step into the place. Obviously they were excited seeing someone they've never seen before, so everyone gathered around me and we chatted about random stuff from Japanese politics to the dog next door (they much preferred the latter topic).
 
4) Going up to the Japanese Alps was fun, but unpleasant because I forgot my jacket.
 
5) Among my closest friends were a freelance translator who had probably been to half the countries in the world, a Japanese with rainbow hair who had gone to Paris to study fashion, and a somewhat popular host(!) in Osaka. There were other less quirky but no less amazing people I've met as well.

hi long time no see
 

* CAT5 slowly transforms into GOAT5

If I understood the topic correctly, you're looking for more releases that contain the things you mentioned?
 
 
This reminded me of Lycaon's 「情欲のアクメ」. I've understood the whole album was mixed to be just one gigantic track instead of separate tracks (pls correct me if I'm wrong, I don't own the said album). Yuuki always whispers the name of the next track before it starts.
 
EDIT// @Tetora, really, is nihilizm like that?  I've never noticed... I've always played that album with shuffle on!

A bit of backstory, I drive, but usually just take public transport as it is cheaper and more convenient than driving.
 
So there I was, getting into the metro, and there is a delay. So I go sit down after a long day, and lo-and-behold to my right there is this guy telling this woman off to my right... He is in her face, and talking in Chinese so I am confused, and don`t really know what is going on...
 
I am thinking to myself that I should go stop this, but I don`t know what is happening, maybe she actually did something bad, etc... Or maybe it isn`t what I am thinking it is...
 
Anyway the train comes, and I get in, they get in the next car, and it is packed so I can`t see them... But I have this twisting in my stomach, I feel like I was wrong and should have stopped him...
 
Luckily, they get off at my stop, and I trail them... He is still going off on her, and her head is down... My blood boils, and I go up to him, shove him with the force of Goku himself, and ask him what the f*** he is doing...
 
He says he is just talking to her, and he looks like he is going to make a move on me... I am ready to unleash.
 
 
I shove him again, and tell him he shouldn`t talk to her like that, it`s not right.
 
He says sorry, it`s his ex-girlfriend.
 
I say I don`t care, you shouldn`t talk to her like that, and you should say sorry to her, not me...
 
I am one second away from just starting to beat on him if he says anything else or try to keep talking to her, so I make him go back the way he came, and he does, pitifully.
 
I start talking to the girl, saying she shouldn`t take that from anyone, and she just smiles and says thanks...
 
Everybody is looking at me, and a lady comes up to shake my hand, etc... I feel good about what I did, I was pumped up and felt like a champ... but at the same time...
 
It feels so wrong, like she wont let make it stop, and it will keep going on... Like all I did was postpone it...
 
I hate it, I hate people like that, and I never ever want to be like that. At the same time, I hate that he is Chinese, and acts like that, and he is so much of a coward that he can only talk like that to a small woman, and b*tches out when I get in his face. Like China has this rich history, and overcame so much, and had martial artists defending their villages, and putting their lives on the line against evil dynasties, and had good emperors trying to defend China, and all that happened, and we still have chickensh*ts like this coming out of the great country. Tbh I would have loved to use the martial arts my Sifu taught me to beat the hell out of this guy...

Hope they change it to [Prosecco] and start selling all their merchandise cheaper.

I'll be knocking at their door! I just bought a bottle of Champagne, believing there to be some nice jrock inside, but it was just some overpriced alcoholic beverage. I feel betrayed.

so CAT is actually a gurl?

...

all this time, all these years... ._. wtf

Aww you look so pretty!!  
 
But cat is definitely a gurl <3
 

Hey guys,
 
What emotions inside of you, or the music itself initially drew you to Japanese music (from Visual Kei, to Japanese Rock, to Japanese Indie, etc...) and has that list of emotions grown or changed over time as you grew, and discovered new bands?
 
Do you find unique feelings in Japanese music that you can`t find elsewhere?
 
Do you relate more to the musicians or sound than other kinds of music? 
 
 
 
 
For me, I grew up listening to Classic Rock first. I heard The Rolling Stones as a child, and I was like: Wow, this is real music! Then I fell in love with guitar riffs and solos, and played air guitar in my room until I got a Fender.
 
I loved it so much, but there was still more I was looking for, some kind of energy, and feeling that I wasn`t quite getting to feel complete.
 
I saw a TM Revolution PV shortly afterwards, and I knew that was what I was looking for. I started learning of other bands and musicians over the years, like L`Arc, Gackt, etc as I grew and the list of Japanese music grew, but it all fit with me so well even if it was so different.
 
I loved the energy, attitude, the look, and then finally, the hope.
 
I still loved Classic Rock, but it was like I already saw them all as old now, and they never found that love, they never reunited with that person, they still sing about the same things, etc... And I kind of slowly replaced it all with younger people, who may not find what they are looking for, but are still young, and the story is still ongoing, there is still some hope.
 
For me, the strongest things that still draw me to my favorite bands are the emotions tied to hope. I love Gackt and Buck-Tick for example... but it seems like they have accepted the sadness, and I have all this sadness and sorrow in me too, but I wont settle into it like some people have, I want to continue living with this Never-Give-Up attitude, even if it is seen as foolish, or unrealistic.
 
One of my favorites, Takanori Nishikawa of TM Revolution, formed Abingdon Boys School. I talk about both projects often, as they inspire me. Anyway, to me, TMR was always bad-ass, and full of hope and courage and attitude, even if it was sad sometimes. Then comes the debut album from Abingdon Boys School, self-titled, and it was mired in sadness and sorrow, and so straight-forward in how he expressed things other people are afraid to say. but it was still bad-ass underneath, his attitude was still there... And I loved it. Then comes their second album, Abingdon Road, and it was like he moved on from that sadness, while keeping as it is a part of him forever, but he had so much more strength to stand and walk-on, with tracks like Strength, JAP, SOUEN, Dusk til Dawn, etc... It was really inspiring to me, as he and the band had the attitude to fight, with that spirit, and not just stay in the same place.
 
 
 
 
Anyway, enough about me, please share what feelings and emotions draw you to Japanese music, I`m sure everyone will love to hear it!
 

Aww you look so pretty!!  
 
But cat is definitely a gurl <3
 

Back in 2006 my friend sent me a few songs via MSN () and I started liking them immediately. The first songs I've heard were Vidoll - Teddy and D'espairsRay - Valentine. There isn't much more to it - my friend just sent me the songs, I liked them, and started digging up more bands.

Sorry cat, you revealed my true identity...
