rxelynStolen randomly because I'm bored. XD
Was watching this taiwanese variety show... but it has got boring. >.>
1. What got you into liking visual kei?
This was before I had my own computer, so I was still stuck using my brother's. He had X Japan on his winamp. I was curious. And I got hooked. Heh
2. What bands are you currently into?
Matenrou Opera, Versailles, Miyavi, SuG, Rentrer en Soi, and tons more. Because I usually rotate my interests, so by next week, my preferences would have changed again...
3. What bands do you currently dislike?
... eh. There isn't any bands that I dislike. Because no matter what songs they have, there will at least be 1 song that will interest me. XD I'm easy like that.
4. What was the very first visual band you liked?
X JAPAN!!! :DDDD Yoshiki makes the best music ever. Really. Their lyrics are... touching.
5. What's a band that you used to hate?
Hmm... MUCC? I think I really disliked their image. But now... guess I'm neutral.
6. What's your favourite song?
... whut. I can't decide! D:
Lile maybe... Rentrer en Soi's To Infinity?
Or, or SuG's Hystric Honey
but also Sincrea's Ciel...
how to pick one, you tell me?!
7. What are your favourite lyrics?
The lyrics that X Japan has never fail to move me, be it making me cry, making me energetic. Yeah. I love Diru's lyrics as well. Kyo always make his lyrics so poetic and so emo, lul. Stuff by Ryuutarou is also damn brilliant.
8. How much have you spent on CDs?
heh. heh. heh. how can I answer this??!
9. What vocalist do you respect or like?
eh. I like Ruki (the GazettE) and Kirito (ex-Pierrot) and Ryuutarou (Plastic Tree) and Aki (SID) and Sono (ex-Jeniva and Matenrou Opera) Gackt (ex Malice Mizer now solo) Miyavi (ex Due le Quartz)
10. What guitarist do you respect or like?
Hmm... there's Aoi (the GazettE) and Akira (Plastic Tree) and Uruha (the GazettE) and Kaoru (Dir en Grey) and Miyavi (is he counted?) and Tora (alice nine.) and Aiji (ex-Pierrot) and Sugizo (ex Luna Sea and SKIN)
11. What bassist do you respect or like?
Kanon (An Cafe) and Reita (the GazettE) and Saga (alice nine.) and Mao (SID)
12. What drummer do you respect or like?
hmm... drummers usually seem to have the least love.
eh, Kai (the GazettE) and Yoshiki (X Japan) and Ruka (Nightmare)
13. Is there a member who is similar to yourself?
eh... must have, since there's so many artistes out there. Right?
14. What music do you listen to outside of visual kei?
hmm... almost everything other than hiphop/rap. I'm open to anything, as long as it sounds good.
15. Is your makeup or clothing 'visual'?
Hmm. I like the look, but I don't really wear it because I'm not confident of pulling it off. But I really like brands like SEX POT REVENGE and PUTAMAYO (Miku seems to have wore some of their stuff) but the makeup thing, yup, it's really my thing.
16. What changed after you started listening to visual bands?
I'm more into fashion now. Haha. Yeah, I care more about outward appearances too. And my taste for pretty boys. XDDD
17. What are three sets of lyrics that you would recommend and why?
X Japan's Art of Life. Never fails to put me in an emo mood
Stuff by Dir en Grey. Their lyrics are always poetic
And also Plastic Tree has good lyrics too.
18. What are three songs you recommend and why?
the GazettE's Cassis (the lyrics are decent, the melody is nice. so why not? It's one of the softer songs.)
Raphael's Eternal Wish (lovely melody. Pity about Kazuki's death)
SID's Ajisai (also on the sofer side. But good melody line.)
19. What three bands would you recommend and why them?
X Japan! (they are like the godfather in the visual kei scene)
Malice Mizer; Gackt era (because Gackt made them famous and Mana is the face of EGL)
the GazettE (they have a very versatile sound, be it hard rock or soft ballads, they're also pretty mainstream-ish so it's easy to be exposed to them first before moving on.)
20. Finally, do you love visual kei to death?
do you really need to ask?! :333
