I am stupidly happy with how fairy_fore looks now. :D ( Read more... )

I'm making massive progress on that epic reply to maria in that thread on Jrev, but every time I come to this-

"You're certainly entitled to your opinion, and I appreciate that you took the time to add your feedback, but the complaints you made are on points that are entirely subjective -- calls that I made based on my experiences and opinion, so ( Read more... )

So the poster came today. I never got a response from Jrev, but thankfully, their idea of "personalized" evidently does not match mine. If the band addressed it to anyone, I can't tell, so I don't think they did. There's definitely some illegible English, though, but it's not a name ( Read more... )

"This is a bit of a grey area, as Jrock is difficult genre to pin down. If you want to go by that logic you posted, you have to say that anyone who does rock music or rock/pop would be available for this article...Galneryus to that band Jousama who covers Queen songs in Japanese to Nanase Aikawa, even.

It took a couple days, but I finally got a response to what I said in that thread.

"As for HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR, they also fall under what I mentioned above. "Jrock" isn't really a genre, and as it is, it's difficult pin down."

J = Japanese. Rock = rock music. WHAT THE FUCK IS SO HARD ABOUT THAT. I do not understand these people.

Okay, so there's a year in review article on Jrev. They OF COURSE chose not to mention the bands that played at ACen when listing bands that played in North America. I commented on this on the forums. And this is the reply I got:

"HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR is not considered Jrock in this article. We also emitted BACK-ON, and AKFG. As with SPIRAL ( Read more... )

There was one other thing I forgot to mention.

"We know it best now as the kind of crazy stuff Malice Mizer pulled, but that was one extreme in the spectrum that made the VK "look." Again, there are no hard-and-fast rules on any of this, so to you maybe VK really didn't start until Mana launched EGL in full-form, but as I write in the piece, I ( Read more... )

So I still haven't made a reply in that thread over on Jrev. This mostly due to the amount of time it's taken me just to comprehend maria's reply to my first reply. She contradicts herself, repeats herself, and obviously has no idea what the fuck I was talking about in general. She obviously did not read what she wrote before hitting "post" as the ( Read more... )
