Done! Here's mine.

 

01. What are you listening to right now?

Ed Sheeran’s X, on repeat. Like what on earth is Ed Sheeran? Why is X so flawless? WHY?

02. What song(s) make(s) you sad?

Oh, this question. To be quite honest, I can get emotional easily when listening to music; like they’re moving me in certain ways. To exemplify, Wooderd Chiarie’s throb in theory and Nell’s Counting Pulses have that kind of effect.

03. What is the most annoying song in the world?

Any song that undeservedly gets overplayed and ends up sounding so much more grating than it already is.

04. 3 all time favorite Japanese bands?

3 I can immediately name are Arukara, 9GOATS BLACK OUT, Veni Vidi Vicious (although I also want to mention Rin Toshite Shigure and Tokyo Heroes and M).

05. 3 all time favorite non-Japanese bands?

Maybe not all-time favorite, but 30 Seconds to Mars and Nell have consistently released quality stuff I can’t quite put a finger on any other band I like as much.

06. Your favorite recently discovered band is?

Fleet Foxes and Chiaroscuro.

07. Favorite female voice(s)?

Abe Fuyumi, 4ho of Anyo. Maybe some other female voices, but I can’t seem to remember them at the moment.

Inamura Taisuke of Arukara, Kim Jong Wan of Nell, Ryo of 9GOATS BLACK OUT.

09. Music type you find yourself listening to most?

Slow-paced songs.

10. What do you listen to, to hype you up?

Anything with optimistic lyrics, like Epik High’s 연필깎이. Because one day it'll be my time to shine! Ha.

11. What do you listen to when you want to calm down?

An untitled playlist on which I compile slower songs from any bands, any genre, any language. On a mediocre basis.

12. Last gig/concert you went to?

I don’t like going to concerts cause I feel suffocated being in the middle of a crowd.

13. Band you find yourself listening to the most right now?

Pandai Besi.

14. Most hated band?

Like CAT5’s answer, hate is such a strong word.

15. Song that makes you think?

Hmm.

16. Band that you think the world should love as much as you do?

Nell, Silicagelle, Veni Vidi Vicious, Pills Empire, Hitohi, Akutagawa.

I’d like to be able to play guitar or bass....

Akai Ko-En? They seem okay.

Tulus’s Gajah on a local radio.

23. What do you think of Classical music?

Sounds cool and somewhat pretentious, though not up to my liking.

Taylor Swift? Idk. What I have in mind is they have cheesy lyrics.

25. What do you think of Death metal?

“No, thank you very much.”

26. What do you think of Visual Kei?

Disbandment.

27. What do you think of Hip-hop?

Oh, hip-hop is absolutely cool. The music can be very satirical and thought-provoking, while still being really catchy.

28. If you were a musical instrument what would you be?

Violin.

29. What do your parents listen to?

My mother listens to Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, basically anything of the like. My father listens to traditional music.

30. Favorite movie/anime/video game sound track?

-

31. Do you know the names of all the band members that you listen to?

Mutyumu’s Ilya, God Is An Astronaut’s All is Violent, All is Bright, Nell’s Healing Process.

37. Name one album that you regret listening to

Sometimes, when I can afford it.

9GOATS BLACK OUT, Tokyo Heroes, M, (early) cocklobin, Alice Nine.

Noise, (death/anything) metal. I have my own tolerance limit.

43. What language do you listen to the most in music?

Japanese, Korean, English, Indonesia.

44. Do you like long songs?

V2, V0.

48. What do you think of Noise (music)?

“HAHAHAJHSDHEIUWHEDHFSJHFEIURJSDHSJDHEUHDJASDHEURHJFHUERHFF”, like the music’s being deliberately gibberish or something.

49. Do you prefer listening to music on speakers or with headphones?

Headphones.

50. What musician(s) are you most physically attracted to?

TK of Rin Toshite Shigure. I’m basically attracted to Asian guys with stubble/unshaven look, but there’s just something so appealing about TK, you know? His musicality and looks combined = unf.

51. If you could bring back any disbanded band, which one would it be?

Nope. Just let it go, man.

52. If you HAD to stereotype your music tastes, what would you be considered? (in example -a metal-head, hip-hop, goth, hipster, etc..)

My music taste is paradoxical.. or kind of. On one side I’m fond of Japanese (indie) bands, to which a friend once refer as “narnian music”, but on another I also find myself enjoying (some) K-pop acts—just for the hell of it (although the latter can become so mind-numbing I only listen to them occasionally).

53. How much on average do you listen to music?

On a daily basis. Sometimes I undergo a period of abstinence, though.

Pretty big. I have 92 GB of sorted music, which could’ve been much more had I not converted them to V2.

62. Do you wear band etc T-shirts?

I do. I have a “GAZEROCK IS NOT DEAD” t-shirt. The colors have faded though.

63. Song that describes your life?

9GOATS BLACK OUT’s 天使. The song is really beautiful, serene and capable of evoking pleasant memories of life in mind.

64. Are any of your friends/family etc. musicians?

I wish any of them were.

65. Quote one of your favorite lyrics?

Will I be able to make it through, after all?

Is it really worth it? This world is filled with traitors and suffering, which I think I’m separating from.

“Don’t die”

“Try and breathe once more”

“Don’t die”

“I said try and breathe once more”

(Nell’s Counting Pulses. Probably not all that memorable, but Kim Jong Wan sang it in such a way that makes me feel the helplessness projected in the lyrics).

They do. Some think K-Pop is all I ever listen to (because seriously, K-Pop music is the only thing I can talk about with the people I know in real life), some think my taste is unfathomable (when they learn about my real inclinations).

75. Is music very important to you?

It's one of the things I'm passionate about.

76. Do you wish you could sing? If so, what style?

I wish I could. My voice is pretty low I can sing some ONE OK ROCK’s songs without using falsettos. I’d love to have 4ho’s voice combined with songwriting and guitar-playing talents just so I could play gigs. Haha.

77. What was your favorite genre a long time ago? Has it changed since?

I used to like Mariah Carey, Chinese and Indian music, then whatever played on MTV (Greenday, Good Charlotte, etc). Of course it’s changed. Music taste evolves.

78. Is there a song you find very special to you?

amazarashi’s 光、再考.

79. What artists/musicians inspire you?

Efek Rumah Kaca.

80. What do you usually listen to music on (computer, phone, ipod, etc)?

Phone, then on laptop.

81. Do you listen to entire albums or specific songs?

Like CAT5’s answer, I listen to entire albums when they're new to me, at other times I just shuffle the songs I already enjoy.

82. One song that makes you happy?

The Trees & The Wild's Malino. There are others as well.

83. What song do you never get tired of?

Too many, I suppose.

84. A song you like that was made before you were born?

I don’t know.

85. What song makes you want to fall in love?

amazarashi’s ワンルーム叙事詩. Listening to this song makes me think of myself waking up in the morning next to the person I love most, regardless the actual meaning of the lyrics.

86. What song would you make love to?

-

87. What song makes you want to dance?

Too many! Like SHINee's Ring Ding Dong or EXO's History.

88. What song reminds you of summertime?

Just twice. I’m still learning.

92. How do you find new music?

Last.fm, Xiami, friends.

93. What artist/band do you enjoy that most people think sucks?

I don’t really pay any attention to VK bands anymore.

95. What do you think of Yoshiki?

Attention-seeking bitch.

96. Do you Cosplay?

I don’t.

The latter.

I used to. Now I just think it’s impolite.

99. Who in J-rock do you think is actually a vampire?

Unanimous answer would be Hyde, I suppose.

Day and Buffalo’s Bye Bye Daddy.

That song is so bad that the Weird Al parody isn't even enjoyable to listen to.

 

It's everywhere and I want to just kill it with fire. Thank goodness it's not just me. ♥

42. What genre could you never listen to? There's no genre I could never listen to, unless it's some genre that is only audible to dogs or some shit, lol. I always give shit a chance. 
43. What language do you listen to the most in music? Japanese, definitely.

50. What musician(s) are you most physically attracted to?

72. What do you think about KPOP? No K-POP artist has really gotten my attention enough to listen to more than a couple songs, but I think there's a lot of talent in the scene, but I'm just not into boy/girl band kind of music that much 
73. Do you think the people around you have weird/bad taste? I don't like to judge people for what they listen to that much anymore. If people find solace or comfort or joy in what they listen to, who am I to mock or degrade them for it?

95. What do you think of Yoshiki? I love his classical music, I really do, but I hate the way he promotes himself and X Japan; I hate that he think he's some original fucking musical genius for being both a classical musician and a metal/rock musician (we get it, WE GET IT). I also don't like his habit of claiming that he's recording or busy producing new music, but in reality he's just doing more self-promotion type shit that is completely unrelated to his music. 
96. Do you Cosplay? No - I neither have the self-confidence, nor enough enthusiasm to put effort into it
97. Do you prefer visual or non-Visual Bands? I guess non-visual, since that's the majority of my music, but I prefer any good music, regardless of how band members present themselves 
98. Do you read music-related fanfiction? Not anymore. Nowadays, fanfiction involving real people makes me a bit uncomfortable. 
99. Who in J-rock do you think is actually a vampire? Gackt - the guy has been 35 for almost 10 years now. There's definitely something supernatural and mysterious going on.
