thanks ^_^

Music? - Eh, see, I was just thinking about this a minute ago before I decided to come on to MAL. ^^

It struck me as I was rating a song in iTunes. It's clear to me that I don't like singers, or groups, or anything of that sort. I like individual songs. Hardcore fans would certainly look down on me for that kind of thing. "How can you only like a song!!? Argh!" But, that's the way it is.

So, to try and answer your question.. I've found that a lot of T.M. Revolution's songs are to my liking. Especially the ones used for the Gundam Seed soundtrack (I love Gundam Seed.. and that's one the reasons why. :D) Also, I like a handful of songs by Gackt, Rip Slyme, melody, Bump of Chicken, Kotani Kinya, See-Saw, High and Mighty Color (the older group, not the one with the new singer.. even though I do like a few songs by them too, but..), Utada, Ayumi Hamasaki, Otsuka Ai (totally love her.. :D), Kalafina, and a few others.

Ohitorisama (Koike Teppei, yay!) is -definitely- a promising series. I'm very excited to see more of it. I'm also looking forward to watching Untouchable (Nakama Yukie, yay!), and Tokyo Dogs (Oguri Shun, and Mizushima Hiro, yay!). <- Can you see how I pick which series to watch? :D

Around 40, At Home Dad, and Hotaru no Hikari, check! I'll definitely watch these. (Again, I looooove recommendations. They're what I go off of usually because I'm not brave enough to watch something I've never heard of with no one I've ever seen before.. I guess).

> But have you tried imitating other dialects?

No, but, I haven't really imitated much speech thus far. Usually I'll be listening to a podcast or something (talk-show?) and just imitate the male speaker. Who.. is clearly native of Tokyo or has lived there a very long time. My ear is sharp enough now that I can pick up on subtle differences between dialects.. One that's really easy to pick up on is anything from the Kansai region. And, within that, I can distinguish between Kyoto and Osaka's dialects. One of my Japanese friends that I met looong ago gave me a run for my money by not holding back at all in her Japanese and using her dialect to its fullest (she's from Nara). Let me tell you.. when you're first starting out, that's surprising.

But, since then I've gotten really used to it, so, it's pretty easy to understand her now. Luckily the human mind is super flexible and as long as you're open to exceptions, you can easily learn these things..

I actually won't imitate other dialect, but I will listen to them a lot. The reason is, if I imitate too many dialects, I'll end up mixing the intonation too much, and it'll definitely sound like a foreign accent in that it won't sound like any native Japanese dialect.. So, I'm just opting for the Tokyo dialect. But, if I were to develop another dialect after that, I'd definitely go for Kansai because of my friend. :)

Do you think I think to much into it? xD

Haha, it's little now. Just wait for me to get five years worth and we'll see where it gets. :)

I'll definitely check out CHANGE. I always take on recommendations and make them #1 priority because I find that people's recommendations for these things lead me in the right direction. :)

I made me list. Come see! :D

Your list of dramas and films is really.. really impressive. I'm surprised at how much you've completed. I mean, I'm starting to get a little collection of them myself, but, it's like a grain of sand on the beach compared to you.

Then again, I only watch Japanese dramas.. so I guess I'm a bit more limited in my selection than you, but.. still. I'm especially impressed by the amount of films you've watched. I don't think I've even seen that many movies in my life.. in any language. x)

I think I might copy you, and make a list of my own. I have wanted a way of keeping track of all the ones that I watch.. and the anime list only works with anime. x)

Also! - You're an Admin over at the Asian Drama Addicts, right? Would you be interested in exchanging links with the Japanese club? (Just placing a picture-link or text-link, like affiliates). What do you say? :)

Do you remember where you found it?

Every time I look at my avatar, I get an irresistible urge to cosplay as it xD
