[quote=Bobbiedot12;844033]I listen to Japanese music because, honestly, I think it sounds better than American music today. Japanese music actually uses instruments, not just punching some stuff into a computer.

That is why it continues to hold my attention, though most of what I listen to is probably not on most playlists of this group. Keisho Ono's CDs are a permanent fixture in my car along with several taiko recordings by Japanese and local artists. And one of my favorite DVDs is one of Versailles.
In contrast, I nearly abandoned JRock entirely after an anime convention where I was supposed to work as a DJ. Instead of a play list or being given free reign to play my selections, I was forced to play a poor quality videos of a Dire En Grey concert and D'espairs Ray. Worst of all, this was with Versailles in the house to perform live the next night!!! To this day I cannot stand Dire En Grey, and especially D'espair Ray. When the vocals aren't clear you will discover just how limited and repetitive their instrumentation is.
Only an open mind and open heart can be filled with life. ********************* Find your voice; silence will not protect you.
