Welcome to Gaia! ::

...ok, that's kind-of a lie. I'm GOING to make a blog, no doubt there.

I was wondering if anyone here would be interested in reading it. It's going to center (mostly) on Japanese music.

Not always J-rock, not always the typical suspects (Gackt, Miyavi, L'arc~en~Ciel, Dir en Grey, etc). Actually, I'd like to use it to introduce people to some lesser known bands. I will focus on bigger bands too, no worries.

I am trying to become a music journalist in the future, so these may be reviews of albums that came out forever ago, but hopefully they'll be from bands you haven't heard much from, if anything. Sometimes, I'll have to state the obvious - some folks who don't know anything about Japanese music wanted to read it, so I'm going to be kinda accommodating to them.

I'm also taking suggestions for bands to review/post about! I'd love to use it as a place to write reviews and have discussions with people about all kinds of Japanese (and other) bands to check out.

So yeah, a heads up that that's coming in the near future, if anyone's interested.

(Already prepared an article about Selia, a review of a band from Denmark, and I'm working on one for Amaterase at the moment.)
