I know・but I was in Sweden then so・and she did take me to hide museum and his grava・but・still・(trying to hold back tears・
Anyway, where was I. Oh yes, the bible has a red line indeed, that would be J-rock. The rules in particular aren稚 really to live after, it痴 more the idea of living a j-rock lifestyle and of course everything that has to go with it. Most rules are actually quite silly since they池e not written by the author. For example rule number 14: The heel of the shoe shall be more than 12.5 cm.
To pinkkillerkisou:
Aha・Okay, my bad・
Then I have to say okay again.
And now to the 菟icky・part:
Number 1: You only needed to correct my own comments, the text from the book was never corrected. Some had things to say about the information, but it was *never* corrected.
Number 2: Yes indeed, some do. It has to do with the human brain. Responding to a certain information is a proof of your ability to analyse the context, learning it so that you can make a comment towards it.
Number: You might be right. You are right. But than again, I don稚 really care. I知 not a good meddler, and I make silly semi-evil comments but I still can稚 help really loving myself.
Number 4: Okay, I知 slow, but not that slow. I got it the second time you said it
And pinkkillerkisou, I知 not informing *you* in particular. I知 informing anyone who wants to read it. And do listen to furan, she's actually right. I really enjoy responding to you, I just wish you where a little more stupid so that we could be in the same level・
And page four in the bible

(Added note: This was written many years after the first few pages.)
鄭nd now to the first evolution of Japanese rock, Visual Kei. (Added translation note: Kei = type of person) It is said that the band called X created it (Added note: X Japan). It was than when the music started to sound more like metal in particular. The first metal band is of course Deep Purple. The drums began to have more variety, the guitars were played in parts with one playing the lower tones and one the higher. The basses also got to play with more variety and it was not unusual if they played solo. (Added note: J-rockers have most bass-solos in the world) The clothes they wore were more elegant than before, and instead of wearing totally different outfits they had a theme. It was this time when vampire fiction got popular. The erotic novels in particular (Added note: Anne Rice) They were dressed as vampires, pirates, drag queens and so on. (Added note: Modern J-rock bands mix between variety and costumes.) The make-up though, was still inspired by the gigaku masks.
But let痴 go back to the music again. X often has a classical theme in theirs songs. For example: piano combined with guitars that play the notes of a violin. Or an organ, playing tunes inspired by Bach. (Added note: Mana Sama was greatly inspired by this) The important thing though still remains: even though you spend you池e whole day drawing parallels between this and that in X痴 music, you will still come to the conclusion that they were the ones that really made the thought of Japanese rock being some uncontrollable beauty, not bound to any form or statement. So you can say, that X was the first real Japanese rock band. And therefor, in some meaning Visual Kei is Japanese rock. (Added note: Thank you X Japan.)
There you go
