You're absolutely right. (I think it's quite funny actually! ^^) Haruhiko Ash says he doesn't have any Japanese music influences (in an interview he said "if you think I do, it's just because I'm Japanese" XDD), and likes European and American music, feeling that Japan doesn't have a 'real' gothic scene but just what was imported into the culture from Europe. And of course if you look at j-rockers' fave bands, many of them list western bands there... ^^ It's obvious really when you think about it... I just think it's really funny that people can obsess soooo much about j-music when most of them are looking in the opposite direction, so to speak... ^^Pink Usagi Chan said:Really? I read that a lot of the J-rockers like Western music. One even said he only listens to Western music. Also, Western music is very popular here in Japan.

I listened to s-club 7......didn't they become just s-club later... one of the members left or something... I watched their tv show too *laughs incessantly at herself*
You think those were bad... you haven't even mentioned like NSync and Backstreet Boys. Everyone loved them... I'm ashamed to admit that I was sucked in as well... what was I thinking. *smacks self* I feel so fortunate to have escaped dumb music. I can't really talk to anyone except my best friend about the music I listen to now. Even so she's only heard a little j-rock namely Dir en Grey, Malice Mizer, Gackt, and Hyde.
Okay,Kaine said:say pink usagi...are american cds expensive there?? caz i got the impression that all kinds of cds are more expensive while i was in japan?? are japanese cds over there cheaper than western cds?caz i dunno... i would think its kinda sad how much more imported cds are while we're paying bazillions and ppl who live in japan get it cheaper

miyavi tries everything that i'm afraid to think of what will be his next style.
you can sure find yoshiki's influence on shinya on that picRiyko said:it's like aww what did they do to shinya, but yet at the same time it's still really funny because it's like how can you let someone do something like that to your hair. We laugh at shinya because his hairs like that yet X-Japan used to do their hair alot bigger and sometimes even worse then shinya's is
