ohiyo!

I just recently joined this guild...and i am thrilled.
So my first question is,

well i have a few japanese bands i listen to. But i would like more diversity pop, rock, jazz, alt, anything japanese is good to hear. So if someone could be kind and help me i would be very gratefull. Also i head that listening to music in another language helps you to learn the language as well. dont know if thats true or not. razz anyway thanks a bunch!

um... i'm sure i'm the first to say this, but your roma sux. It's 'ohayo' not 'ohiyo'. it sounds like you are saying "DAY!" with an o- particle at the beginning. was that intentional?
