Hello!!! I'm new ^^ +How I got into Jrock and Vkei

[Hoshizora-chan 4]

Hello! I'm Hoshizora!

 

I speak Japanese and English!

 

I'm Thai and American, except I didn't start looking Thai until I was like 9 lol

 

My birthday is May 4th, like Hiroto from Alice Nine.

 

I don't know why, but Vkei just gives me such a good, unique feeling that nothing else can give me.  It kind of feels like when you have ramen with really good narutomaki in it, or that first bite of sticky rice and mangos... but a lot better.

 

My first J-rock band was Theatre Brook!  I found out about them because I found their song "Uragiri no yuuyake" on youtube one day in September 2018.  After that on December 29th, 2018 I decided I wanted to learn Japanese.  I became fluent in September 2019!

 

And here is how I got into Visual Kei: 

 

On February 23rd, 2019, my friend just decided to show me a picture of Ryuutarou Arimura, literally out of nowhere (I think we were talking about mario or something before then and she changed the topic) It was more like, as soon as I saw Ryuutarou I instantly became obsessed with him before I even heard any of his music (lol)  She said the reason why she showed me the picture of him was because she said something along the lines of "I feel like this is a real life version of L, but this is really the vocalist of a band called Plastic Tree" (btw death note is the only anime ive ever watched)  I was SO surprised to hear that he's 46, I expected him to be about 30, and it's not like I'm never around asians, I have a lot of Thai family, with myself having a lot of Thai blood too..  Regardless of his age I was still obsessed with him and I still showed pictures of him to my mom, all the time, even though he is like, 5 years older than her.   After about...... 3 months of being obsessed with Ryuutarou, I FINALLY decided to listen to one of his songs.  I'm so glad that I wasn't disappointed with them and they're actually some of the best songs I've ever heard.  

 

Now I just tell everyone in my family about Visual Kei all the time.  Everyone except my dad's sister and her kids are used to it.  If I showed my mom or even my grandma a girl in J-rock that actually looks like a girl, she will be like "That's a girl?" lol.. 

 

Well that is how I got into Visual Kei, lol.. and here is how to end this with my favourite J-rock bands:

 

Plastic tree, The GazettE, X Japan, Versailles, L'Arc~en~Ciel.  I of course know way more Jrock bands but those are just my favourites.

 

Thank you for reading this and sorry if it was long!   And also if you want to chat just message me, I would love to have friends here! ^^
