Tetora

Scored 35, I`ll admit it, okay okay, don`t rip on me too much. Ummm, I know I am very driven and motivated to become the best I can be, I have many things I want to accomplish, and I am not content unless I am progressing, and also if I am not performing well, or don`t look like I want to look. So yeah, I have many qualities that can be classified as narcissistic, but I think due to have the right factors in my life, like growing up with animals, having my grandma, Bhuddism, Shinto, and the right mentors (when I was working in a big company, there were many directors, and people like the VP who were ruthless, and successful, but the main person who took me in, and the others who taught me had the quality of being about the people, and about being the good guy as long as possible until you had to put your foot down). So I owe a lot to those things and people to become someone who is very self-concerned, but tries to leave their ego and bs at the door. I guess it becomes about stepping on yourself to get higher up on that ladder, instead of stepping on other people, which I despise. All people are inherently good. They can decide to do bad things to try and get what they want, but all I can say is I try to do the right thing, even if I have to pay the big price for it, and `get torn a new @sshole` as one of my mentors put it... If other people are narcissistic, that is fine as long as they can use it to their advantage, and not hurt themselves or others. Music is very narcissistic, as people would put it, esp. VK with the make-up, contacts, clothes, hair, shaving your body... But I think that comes from the beauty inside of people`s hearts, and their desire to be beautiful, and loved. I dunno how you scored 6 though! What does that mean!? Hopefully it is a good thing, but I don`t believe this test makes anyone good or bad anyway.

Hey guys, As the title inquires, if you didn`t have Japanese music (VK, Indie, Pop, Idol, Electronic, or whatever you like / love) what would you be listening to, and how would your life be different? How much does Japanese music add to your life? Would there be any benefits to not having it, like a heavier wallet or bigger bank account? Or is it just plain worth it? Do you have irreplaceable friends you found through Japanese music? 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? ----- As for me, I would probably still be listening to Classic Rock a lot, maybe repeating the same songs I have listened to a million times without anything new coming my way. Maybe I would be more into Electronic music, maybe I would be going to raves all the time? Who knows. Maybe I would be more into Korean music as well. I definitely would not have made some good friends that I have met along the way. I think I would also be missing something that only VK can give me, some kind of feeling in my heart, and some kind of attitude. I think I would be a different person. My friends and people I have went out with definitely wouldn`t be as annoyed by the `music they can`t understand`constantly being played. And when in Japan I would be doing different things. ----- Anyway, let us all know about yourself, and thanks for reading!

Nice! My favorite band is also DOG! Also love your avi, LiN and Haru are my favorites.

Read the news as soon as I woke up. I am glad it wasn't more serious, as things could have been much worse.

Hopefully you are back soon brah.

I personally don`t agree with a good-bye thread being turned into an attack on someone. You are leaving for the personal reasons, and I understand that you have to try and do what you think you need to do, if anyone agrees or not. Hopefully you are successful, and you come back either when you need your VK fix, or when you are successful and balling out of your mind buying all sorts of cds and cheki like a boss. And pardon me but I just gotta say, VK is just as good as any other kind of music. It can move people in the same way, and for some people it moves them the most. It doesn`t matter if they are the most skilled (some are), or not, because even the guitarist that many people say is the best of all time played in the same scale literally every time, and the progressions in many masterpieces of music are not very complex at all. Music just is what it is, and if Mitsu really loves VK, they shouldn`t be shy to come back one day, despite what some people say. I`ll be waiting... Ehehehe.

Inu Para is the website. It brings you to the portal linked above for Dog, Buglug and Blu Billion, the three bands under Resistar which is unofficially led by DOG. Yukari was brought in by Haru and management to help with production and mastering etc. With Resistar and Dog Studio. I have all Resistar releases if you have any requests to see what he worked on. I also have that magazine. Here, I will provide a pic:

Hmmm. On one hand Yukimi fit perfectly into the band. On the other, Sana has a cool look, and is a good drummer as well, and it gives the band a cool kinda feeling having a kind of 'outsider' in it. LiN has been like an outsider in all of his bands, he always seemed different, but he fits well into UNiTE. and is kind of like an opposite to Sana now so it is cool. Also I find the members accentuated their personality more. Made it a little more intense.

Wow, that was so fast! Maybe he is just taking it slow, and they are still gonna take a lot of time, but I am so glad he seems to be more stable now. They are still on Danger Crue, which is good, hopefully we hear the single they were making with Pablo one day... But most importantly I hope he is well.

Last time I heard this, Closet Child, Brand X and other stores like that had the cd, also, CDJapan had an option to get items other stores have, if you request it.

First of all, 'aint nobody got time to copy and paste those links.... Second of all, yes, those people exist everywhere, always have, always will. Japan have a much smaller amount of violent and criminal activites than many other countries. One of the only figures Japan is high in is being around tenth in suicide rates. Not to downplay how heinous those acts are that are listed in OP, but you have countries like South Africa where half of all women are raped in their lifetime. Think about it, if you have two female friends, or a sister and a mother, chances are one of them will be raped at least once in their lifetime. One thing about Native Japanese is that they often think issues in Japan are some unique problem owed to their culture, while they are actually blessed to live in Japan where those problems are much fewer, and I guess they are lucky to have that innocence where these a ts are not so common to them. Btw, compare a Japanese newspaper to one from the States. Some big papers still report such catastrophes as an old lady falling down a hill in Nagoya.

I want to know what the live was like where they finished the show after Black Gene and Nocturnal Bloodlust... Quite the lineup and mood change.

My take on DIV, didnt really want to post but I like them, so: Defined signature sound, unique approach to electronic infused rock music, relevant themes in songs, one of the best lyricists, amazing clear voice with unique deepness, defined and fun guitar, defined personalities, great production quality, high release rate, well managed and the fanbase always knows what is going on. Etc... I would say, along with others I know, that Zero One was one of the best albums of last year as well. I guess it helps that Chisa is over with the fan girls as well...

Fuaaaark, you and Miku looking aesthetic!

Hey brah, Come back soon if you can, I will miss you. Feel free to contact me anytime here or in Last.fm, Ameblo, whatever. Good luck, I hope everything goes well for you!

The messed up thing is having your name plastered on a site like that and a link to a file on your account which has more of your info and email, and both have your IP stored... And all this can be found by prosecutors by google. I dont think anything much will come from this, but if someone lives in Japan and they decide to prosecute through a string of unlikely events, you will have a good chance of losing and getting 1-2 years and 10k fine if you uploaded multiple files. If in another country, there are many ways to avoid persecution, through loopholes in law or series of excuses. One thing I want to ask is why he chose such a comical musical theme for the vids if he wanted it to be taken seriously?
