MidnightJaguar 5 Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) Hey there everyone! I'm pretty new to the forum sorta, I've lurked for years (lots of years haha) just keeping up to date with reviews for some of my favourite bands. I don't have the most uppity of tastes (SCREW used to be my favourite band haha) but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate quality. I'm currently hugely into bands like abstracts and (Yo can I get a shout out for Ryouga and RAZOR tho) the djent scene, though I do appreciate a lot of metalcore. I also listen to J-Rap but KOHH mostly so please introduce me to some more. I took a year of Japanese during my Biochem Degree and pretty much use podcasts/music to try and learn more and more. I'm not a huge manga reader but I read the mainstream ones (hence Kuki Urie profile pic). I lived in Hiroshima for a month as an exchange student and am planning on making use of the Japan-Canada holiday work visa to go see some shows next year. (All my favourite bands keep disbanding eg. HaKu, BORN, 7Years To Midnight, Story of Hope #fml) I recently discovered I have bipolar disorder so if anyone ever wants to chat about mental health, I'm definitely down for a convo. I play guitar, some covers might find their way on to Youtube, but I think that's all I've got for now. If anyone can point me in the direction of the 外国人 currently living in Japan part of the forum I have a few questions there, mainly where's the best place to be situated if I wanna go to metal shows every weekend while I'm there haha. Stoked to be part of this forum. Ciao. P.S if there's a how to guide on how to create an image or gif signature someone pls tell me. thx Edited October 8, 2017 by MidnightJaguar 4 reminiscing2004, platy, Tatsusalt and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suji 8317 Posted October 8, 2017 Hello and welcome to MH!

violetchain 912 Posted October 12, 2017 Oh nice, it's cool to see so many Canadians joining recently. What part of the country are you from? I like a bit of rap as well, but I only know the super mainstream stuff, so I doubt I can recommend anything you don't already know. For an image signature, I think you just need to use the basic [ img ][ /img ] tags around a url (without the spaces, of course). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MidnightJaguar 5 Posted October 15, 2017 I'm a West Coast Canadian so it's a pretty fun time to be had on this side of the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
violetchain 912 Posted October 15, 2017 Oh cool, I'm on the other side of the country in Toronto. I've only been to the West coast once to visit family, but it was beautiful over there. The plants all seemed like twice as tall and thick as the ones here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MidnightJaguar 5 Posted October 21, 2017 Oh man nice!! I still have yet to make it further east than Alberta, but a Toronto trip is definitely on my list of plans for the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
