But by performing at anime cons they are not becoming more independent from the anime connection, they are reinforcing it, and the more bands perform at anime cons the more the connection is reinforced. There is nothing wrong with selling CDs and merchandise at cons but I think concerts should be performed at concert venues. Cons aren't their only outlet to promote themselves either. In Europe the only Japanese band that ever played at an anime con was BLOOD. All the others played at normal concert venues and as far as I can tell (I haven't been following it very closely since I don't live in the US) D'espairs Ray aren't only playing at cons either.Kyuketsuki wrote:^-^ Glad you caught that!

I'm really glad you said that, because I get the impression that lots of folks are pretty selfish about their jrock hobby. Kudos. ^_~Geisha wrote:I don't see anything wrong with J-Rock PVs being played on MTV though.

Actually, I think MTV could me much improved if they showed a wider variety of music styles. I haven't had cable TV in years but I remember that UK and German MTV used to have late night "alternative" shows that weren't too bad (they weren't that alternative either though). They can show J-Rock at 3.00am if they don't want to waste their best slots on it but I wouldn't mind if they did show it (as long as they don't present it like some kind of freak show or "the kawaii boys of band xyz" but as music in its own right).

I don't know what sort of MTV you're watching because I don't see any music at ALL. I see shit like "Real World" and "Made" and "Washed Up Celebrities Degrade Themselves and Others for Attention".
And... I like some hiphop. :-/ Granted it's all from the '80s and only a coupla years into the 90's, but hey.
