You mean what I call the "recorded in a metal room" sound? (which it most likely was :P) Funny thing is, I never have any problem with anything recorded before the 80's. Then it seemed like they just went way down on budget for recording voices, or maybe they were doing it on purpose. :shrugs...

Most influentual? Maybe. They were one the founders of a whole subsection of Japanese music, so I guess that really counts as influentual. First? I doubt it. The Japanese have been doing rock long before X-Japan ever came along. Southern All-stars (who dominated the 80's as well as Johnny's...

I'm confused. Is "Gothic" supposed to be the generic "none of the above" answer now? Or are we talking, actual "Gothic period" (medival-looking clothes?). I assumed it was generic, and picked that, because I like a variety of things, particularly styles from the 18th century, and the tailored...

"Soft drink"...although most of my family says soda. Actually, I call it "Sprite" because I can't have caffeine, and that's about all you have left at the average restaurant. :sighs:

:POKES flowers: ^.~ I hope you'll excuse me for skimming this thread, I haven't heard the album yet so I don't have any opinions on it, but I do regularly watch the music/variety shows that Gackt appears on, so I'll comment on his voice at least. I've noticed the affectation too, and I've...

Hmm. I have to be careful about this, because most of the stranger misconceptions and comments I've heard are from people who don't understand English very well, then visit my site and page/email me strange questions about something they misread. I don't consider that their fault, because...

Thanks, Illaparatzo. That's what I wanted to know. Saying "I don't think it is", "Well, I do" wasn't getting anywhere, so I felt the need to explain, and I don't care if it's not aimed at Gackt, but I'm just so used to seeing that, surely you can see how I reacted. Some of the posts about Gackt...

Well, exactly what is the intent of the person posting that? I have an issue with people posting Gackt-bashing pictures, and I've kept quiet about it, but it's really starting to get beyond what I can tolerate. I know I'm probably the only person on this board who sticks up for Gackt, but...

Well, flowers and I have already had that conversation more times than I'd care to remember. :roll: (BTW, flowers, when are you ever going to add a meev icon in here? You know I'm itching to use it on you :twisted: )

Well, that doesn't mean other people aren't offended by it. I'm not a big Gackt fan, and I care.

You've a very mean person. That's about the nicest I can say in this situation. :P

I stopped using Jim Breen's page a long time ago, because Edict is nowhere near as complete as your average online J->J dictionary, and I've seen people do mistranslations from bad entries at that site. These days, I use goo.ne.jp's online dictionary, but for someone else who needs J->E...

:sigh: Might as well: If you're into older-sounding music, try Anzen Chitai. They've been around forever (since the 70's) and they do what you'd probably call 'easy-listening", yet they are still nice to listen to (in particular, I recommend "aoi hitomi no Elise"; very pretty, almost like a...

Well, let's put it this way, I make mistakes. Even a person who is fluent in a language makes mistakes in understanding sometimes. So, yeah, that's why we help each other. ^.^ I'd like to see you try again.

I'm not superstitious, but I've been known to be paranoid. :shock: (PS, flowers, now I have that name going through my head to the tune of Mini Moni's "Ain no Uta". Thanks sooo much :P )

Hmm, Kaya's got a new entry up today. Oh, why not..... ★☆★☆★☆ Slaves wanted! (I'm kidding♪) How do you do, this is Kaya. There's a light rain outside my window. With every rainfall, it's getting warmer outside. I wonder, what is everyone else doing to this evening? I've been...

Actually, I really liked yours overall. Just a few cents more, if you're interested, a person with a "dark disposition" or "gloomy" would be described as "暗い(kurai)", which is close in sound to "kuroi", I guess. Gackt described himself in a recent interview about Blackstone as "根が暗い(ne ga...

Amasanin is one of the few reasons I've stuck around here this long. My reasons seem to be slowly but surely dissappearing. I wish her well, but I can't express how much I'm going to miss her. :(

Witness Relocation Program. Seriously, these days I'm hesitant to say anything unless I can quote something first hand, but there's really nothing to say in this case. As near as I can tell from reading the Japanese side of things, he just posted a birthday message. The only interesting bit...

Annie's, I understand they are coming out with an addiction patch for that. Three easy levels over a period of 6 to 8 weeks. You should be fine as long as you avoid online auction sites...then all bets are off.
