1. What's your favorite song by 15?
MONORAL -
Sparta
2. How did you get into 20?
Apoptygma Berzerk. They had one song,
In This Together, which used to be the theme for the
E.R. ads on cable TV. It's so addictive and beautiful.
3. Who is your favorite member in 1?
GLAY - Hisashi. I'm going with Hisashi here, but I admire Takuro like no one else. And Teru is just my sun, because understanding Japanese isn't required for he sings with such emotion... And Jiro is pure, lively energy and hope. Hisashi, however, was my very first love in the J-Rock world and remains as one, full of mystery, originality, creativity and sheer talent.
4. What’s your favorite lyric bit by 29?
Sara Bareilles. I love this bit from
fairytale:
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom / Man made up a story said that I should believe him / Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight / But I don't want the next best thing.
5. Have you ever seen 22 live?
U2. YES! I actually have! :D I saw them live in 2006, in their
Vertigo Tour. Fan-fucking-tastic!
6. What's your favorite album from 10?
Miyavi -
THIZ IS THE JAPANESE KABUKI ROCK. It used to be
Gagaku, but I changed my mind after having seen him live.
7. Do you own any merchandise from 3?
PIERROT. Yes, I have their
DRAMATIC NEO ANNIVERSARY single. My ex-boyfriend bought it for me when he was in Japan.
8. What is a good memory you have of 7?
Hans Zimmer. A LOT of good memories, especially because he's the composer of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy OSTs. So that means, cinema, Jack Sparrow, friends, fun! Everything!
9. Is there a member of the same age as you in 2?
BUCK-TICK. Noooo, not even by a looong shot. They're old enough to be my dad, perhaps (which would freak me out, because I'd rather have Atsushi as my secret lover instead of my dad!).
10. When did you first get into 8?
Dir en grey. Huh, I guess it was... 2000? 2001? I remember listening to
Yokan or
Cage when I first started listening to Japanese music via an online radio.
11. Who likes 4 along with you?
Nightmare. I guess
/obabamania likes them, but I believe she loves
Sendai Kamotsu better. XD
12. Which song did you first hear from 16?
Hoobastank -
Running Away.
13. What song made you fall in love with 5?
Sakurai Atsushi -
Sacrifice. But I already loved him anyway for his work with
BUCK-TICK.
14. Which song do you not like by 18?
Gackt -
12Gatsu no Love Song. I
hated it when it was released, soooo boring. I don't like songs with the whole "OMG, she left me, now what can I doooo?" vibe.
15. Why do you like 14's songs?
Kagrra,. I love them because their sound is unique and very different from any other band's. I also loved the way they dressed in their indies time - not to mention the PVs. I also adore fans and Isshi seems to love them to. :3 Plus, it's nice to see a Japanese band favouring their own language when it comes to albums, songs and the like.
16. Where did you first hear 6?
Bôa. When I became a fan of
Serial Experiments Lain. They're much more than just
Duvet, though. It's a sad thing people don't realise that...
17. How long was 19 a singer before you liked them?
the GazettE. About... 2, 3 years maximum?
18. Does 13 have a song that gives you a bad memory?
LUNA SEA. No, I don't remember anything bad related to LS. :3
19. When did you get into 17?
Red Hot Chili Peppers. 2002, I think, when they released their
Californication album. Which is beyond awesome, btw. I so regret having sold my ticket to their concert when they were here...
20. How long have you been into 9?
LM.C. 1 year, perhaps. It took me long enough to like them after
PIERROT broke up. And it took their concert here for me to start listening to them.
21. If 11 had a concert 300 miles away, would you drive there to see them?
Plastic Tree. Sure! I still have hope to see them live here, but I'd drive for sure!
22. How many CDs do you own of 12?
Rammstein. One! I'm a proud owner of their
Reise, Reise album, which is awesoooome! I love it!
23. Does 21 have a song that makes you cry?
R.E.M. -
Everybody Hurts.
24. Does 27 have a song that makes you happy?
Klaus Badelt -
Skull and Crossbones. But
He's a Pirate is awesome, too, and both have the lovely movie theme (which obviously makes me happy, since it's Pirates of the Caribbean we're talking!). He's the main composer of the 1st movie from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, but he had some help from
Hans Zimmer. Only his name is credit in the CDs for the 1st movie, though.
25. Does 23 have a song that makes you smile?
Yoshihisa Hirano and Hideki Taniuchi. No, there's not a song that makes me smile as in a
cheerful smile, but their
L's Theme makes me grin when I remember how clever, brilliant and wonderful is the theme they've composed to such a fabulous chracter.
26. What's the last song you've listened to from 28?
Merry -
kubitsuri rondo.

33. What would you say if 42 or one of the members from 42 asked you out?
abingdon boys school - I'd say YES. :D Plus, Takanori shares his b-day with me and he's fun!
34. Would you care if 41 had a boyfriend/girlfriend?
X JAPAN. No. For all I know, they could be all married and with kids. Except, well, for hide. ;_;
35. Who has the best voice in 46?
YUKI KAJIURA. No one? She's a composer, not a singer.
