i'm coming out for the first time in yeeeaarsss .

my date's favorite song is darling nikki. we also love stray cat strut.

If we're going to be playing any Japanese music at all, I'd rather it be "real" bands instead of Visual Kei, which I hope you all know is the Japanese equivalent of a stylish and darker version of Britney Spears.

My suggestions:

Mono, "Com(?)"
Ghost, "Marrakech"
Guitar Wolf, "Jet Generation!"

Dr Mouseir Jack I do hope that you realize that you have just thrown the equivalent of a bannanna bomb at those of us who like Visual Kei. Be now prepared to endure long titantic essays on how VK is in fact an aesthetical wondernaunt. This is a sampling of what you may have to deal with.

Actually I like some Visual Kei. My point was that it is totally, utterly, one hundred per cent pop music in Japan. It is not "alternative". It is not particularly "artistic". It's a pop music style, much like Britney Spears type singers in America.

Before the flaming starts, let me say that I know many people who live in Japan, and none of them like Visual Kei, because it is primarily the music targeted at screaming teenage girls. This is not an opinion; it's a fact.

The Alternatiive tag is subjective. I could argue that A. It's from another country so thus alternative. B. It's adrogonous and thus alternative. C. The visual style freaks people out so thus it's alternative. In any case it's not like your going to hear it on mainstreams radios in America. And fianally....heck it's fun music lets hear it

Of course I don't know how likely it is that Mizar or Japan will be played tonight. I have a suspicion that the DJ's may just see this and say "Ha Ha we're playing yatta tonight!!!!"

Hell it's what I would do.

So the Spice Girls are alternative. Gotcha.

C. The visual style freaks people out so thus it's alternative.

It doesn't freak people out in Japan.

In any case it's not like your going to hear it on mainstreams radios in America.

But you will hear it on mainstream radio in Japan.
