When I was an elementary school student, I received the baptism of Reideen through the whole school dance, but it seems that the fact that Jun Togawa, who hit the night, was more shocking...
And I liked Uchoten, so I was listening to a band called Japanese indies in the 80's and going to live houses. However, since I like music, I think that the band related to Nagum is like performance art if you think about it now. Japancore is just a scary thing, Satoshi Yuka. My parents loved Paul McCartney, so I mistakenly thought the Beatles were Dasai, and the first Western music I bought myself was XTC. I know the Beatles are flowing everywhere, but I haven't heard the whole album yet. Since I started going to clubs after entering high school, I have broadened my range of listening to music, from CRAMPS to Madchester and UK's acid house related, noise music such as TG and Merzbau, Italo House, and recently Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti. ..... There were various kinds of music that I liked, but the starting point may always be somehow creepy.
