hi, everyone. i'm yurie from japan.

oh, don't ask me if i can give a karate chop or make up like visual-kei...
i can do neither, unfortunately! lol (i do like some visual-kei bands. don't misunderstand!)

though i have a bias toward the uk rock (the stone roses is my hero), i also listen to american indie artists, k-pop, j-rock, classical music and so on.

but my knowledge about "hard" rock is poor so please teach me the essence of ROCK.

i'd love to make friends with you members!

see you at two smokin' barrels party:)

p.s. is there anyone going to delays' live in leeds?

Hi there and welcome to the society. I am sure there will be plenty of people who will gladly give you a tour of the harder end of rock.

Forgive my ignorance, I haven't heard of visual-kei before, what is it?

see you on sunday!

thanx for reply!

well, here's a description of visual-kei.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_kei

most of them usually make up and dress up, however, their music styles are various such as heavy metal, goth and punk.

Do you like orange range? Or blood stain child? ^_^

Welcome! I like J-rock too Smiling

(forgive me if this isn't "j-rock" as such, but just japanese music xD)

hello! i'm glad you like j-rock.

i like orange range! especially 'asterisk' and 'oshare bancho'
they're quite unique.

sorry i didn't know blood stain child...(google it...read wiki...watch their videos...) melody is beautiful! do they sing mostly in english? i like their music mixed with techno(dance?).

oh, i don't mind classification.
you think something is rock, so it's rock, isn't it?^^

Absolutely.

I dislike it when things are over-labelled. But I suppose there is a point to it. And it stops people complaining xD

Pretty much everything blood stain child sing is in English I think, yeah ^^ Makes it more accessible for those, like me, who can only say the odd 'desu', 'kinoko' and 'ichigo'. xD
