Probably because of the fact that they do tours EVERYWHERE. And they are talented x3

15-Are you obsessed with the Japanese music?
hell yea

16-What do you think inspired Japan to have "rock" music?
Lack of something that really grabs the interest of younger listeners? I'm not sure, as I do not live there. But I think that is what may have sparked rock in America, so hey. You never know.

17-Have you imitated a style (clothes, hair, make-up) from Jrock?
Not on perpose-I dress in what I like. But sometimes it resembles some stuff I've seen on j-rockers...

18-What are you currently listening to?
D.L.N. by Gazette, because after I put it on that list I really wanted to listen to it. x)

19-Why do you think people put down Miyavi so often?
I think it is because Miyavi is SO popular-so the fans aren't taken as seriously anymore. Also, he doesn't stay in the safe realm of a style-he deviates a LOT. (Example, he does metal, pop, love songs, almost jazzish type stuff.)

20-I like MYV, do you?
Of course. heart He composes ALL of his music-that is amazing.

21-What songs have you cried to (in Jrock only).
Cassis ('Zette), D.L.N. (''), Heart Balance (Kra), Itoshii Hito (Meevs) many times, And Corona (Alice Nine) for some reason.

Miyavi for his musical talent. *_*

MAN IS FREAKIN' GORGEOUS.

Oh my fuxx, no.

25-What do you think about bands swarming the US?
J-rock bands swarming? I don't know about that, but I wouldn't mind.

I'm pretty much fluent in Japanese (Less written than spoken xP)

Almost 200, trying to get many more.

In America? Yes. It is still going on. Suck.

29-How long have you need in this business?
Say what? o_o

30-What programs do you use for downloading?
Nothing-If I download anything on my retarded dial-up, it is right from a site.

31-Why do you download instead of buying at least one album?
I have 3 j-rock albums. I am going to buy more once I get a job (and thus, money). It is just, sometimes, more convinient to download songs.

32-Do you own any tours of Jrock?
No ;__;

33-Do you visit forums for Jrock?
Yes.

34-What is your current worry on Jrock?
That it will get overly popular here in America. I like being part of a small group. Its comfy.

Not being born in Japan. (LOLS I'm lame)

36-Any band disappoint you (if yes, explain)?
Not so far. Not to say that they won't. :{

Taion-Gazette

Heart Balance by Kra-I want the single badly *Sigh*

40-Do you laugh when people mix up band members?

41-Has any other person, into Jrock, make you angry?
Yes...I can't, for the life of me, remember why, though. rofl

42-I think Jrock arist should carry around little dogs, do you?
No, not really. It's cute, but not nesiscary.

43-Why aren't they open with their love lives?
Because that is something personal-not everyone needs to know! :3

44-Do you sing down the street?
When no one else is around.

45-How about dancing?
Yes, in the rain. ^^

46-How's America?
SUCK IN THE FACE. I like the freedom, but that is really all America has to offer.

47-If you could meet any Jrocker, who would it be?
Miyavi

10. Kagrra

7.0-Thorough explanation on how you discovered them.
Friends basically

8.0-Have you've been to any concerts (if so, name them).
Yes, I saw Dir en grey at the Wiltern in LA in March and Dir en grey again at the Family Values Tour in Kansas City in August.

9.0-Do you mind the Dir en grey haters (if yes, explain)?
Do I mind them? Yes. Do I go off on them in an angry rant yelling at them and telling them that they're wrong? No. Everybody has their own taste in music. I'm okay with those who will express their opinion as to why they dislike the band because atleast they are mature about it. What I can't stand are the ignorant ones that are convinced that typing in all caps and swearing is going to get their point across. Once in a while I'll point out to them how stupid they're acting but honestly it's a waste of my time to be at it for hours on end which some other people can do.

10-Why do you think Dir en grey is so popular?
I don't really want to get into this right now, but if I was in a better mood I'd rant on about powerful lyrics and an amazing and unique sound, etc. etc.

11-Why do all Jrock surveys mention Dir en grey/Malice Mizer?
Because they are both like uber popular bands.

12-Do you believe in fans?
YES they spin around on your cieling and sometimes if you try to touch them when they're moving it hurts.

I love music. Japanese music just happens to be my favorite.

16-What do you think inspired Japan to have "rock" music?
What inspired the world to have rock music?

17-Have you imitated a style (clothes, hair, make-up) from Jrock?
My hair, I've tried. But it's to god damn thick and it doesn't listen to me at all. It's like, the right side at the end flips out while on the left it goes in. I'm still trying though but I get really irritated when it doesn't. Lol sorry I ranted.

18-What are you currently listening to?
Nothing

19-Why do you think people put down Miyavi so often?
Personally I've never come across many of those people, maybe a few. But honestly I have no idea because Miyavi is a genius.

I like Andy Milonakis
LOL wait, at first I thought you said MTV. Yea I like MYV. <3

21-What songs have you cried to (in Jrock only).
I seem to cry like every time I listen to the live version of The Final on Dir en grey's single Ryoujoku no Ame. Just because I've lived the experience of me standing before Dir en grey as they played their heart out for us.

Can't really choose.. Shinya inspires me though. If only I wasn't too lazy, I'd probably play the drums...

29-How long have you need in this business?
lolwut?

30-What programs do you use for downloading?
Limewire and AIM's file share thingamajig

31-Why do you download instead of buying at least one album?

32-Do you own any tours of Jrock?
Dir en grey It Withers & Withers Tour DVD and Miyavi MYV Rocks DVD.

Dir en grey's popularity in the states. I'm bad, I know..

36-Any band disappoint you (if yes, explain)?
Not really

37-What about those fangirls?
Well there's a certain extent.. I mean it's perfectly understandable to rant on to yourself about how hot Toshiya is *cough* and mayybeee just rant on a couple times or so but after that it gets out of hand. I mean, some of them are really really scary.

38-What are you listening to now?
Er this one was asked already. Nothing.

39-Any recent releases you love?
Ryoujoku no Ame if that still really counts as a recent release. And Filth in the Beauty by Gazette. <3 (Edited because I oh so lately just now got to hear Gazette's new stuff because my rather homoerotic computer has NO sound and I had to rely on a friend to burn me a copy)

40-Do you laugh when people mix up band members?
Never really had anyone do that. I remember my friend had, her friend was all like "I'd love to go to a Dir en grey concert to see Die play drums!". It was pretty funny.

41-Has any other person, into Jrock, make you angry?
Oh yes.

42-I think Jrock arist should carry around little dogs, do you?
