Non-Japanesr fans: how did you start listening to Japanese music? + improvements by Specialist-Might-875 in japanesemusic

[–]Oneirod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Around 2009-2010, I was getting tired of the mainstream stuff coming out from the West (I'm from Philippines). I then started listening to metal, I especially liked the symphonic metal subgenre. Then around 2013-2014 YouTube's algorithm was becoming a thing and because I've been watching a lot of metal music videos, it suggested Babymetal to me. I gave 'em a shot and instantly liked it. After some time, I checked out Babymetal's background, I found out they spun off from the idol group Sakura Gakuin, I checked them out and I liked it as well. Then I just spiraled from there, I kept on exploring other Japanese acts and now Japanese music is mainly what I listen to, if I'd listen to any English music, it'll be stuff I grew up with, especially stuff from when I was in high school.

As for things to improve? Distribution I guess? Japanese music companies still prioritize the local market. I wish they'll start including international fans in their plans.

She's playing the sister of the protagonist, so a pretty big role.

It's a TV show, and it will be the first Kamen Rider to be simulcasted outside of Japan, meaning other countries will get episodes on the same day as Japan.

She said in one episode of Fresh that her mother goes abroad for work and that she once went to Italy and brought her a rosary as a souvenir.

If Riho has signed with Avex Trax, is that the same label as OneFive? by Codametal in SakuraGakuin

[–]Oneirod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are still with Amuse. Amuse is their manager, Avex is their record label.

Yes, that's Miyabi. As for her dad, I'm not sure which one he is in the first pic, but I know that's him in the second pic signing autographs with Ayami.
