Anime College Life Entertainment Music

J-music

J-music = J-rock + J-pop + J-electronica; J = Japanese

I started getting interested in Jmusic when I started watching a lot of Anime. I often listed to SickOnion.com radio. It plays a great collection based on the actual popular music in Japan unlike the other anime stations (usually north-american) where the primary targets are “otakus”.

Some of the artists/bands that I liked while I was listerning to SickOnion.com are:

(not in any particular order)

Shiina Ringo – Yattsuke Shigoto

Hitomi Shimatani – Haru Machibito

Antique Cafe – Escapism

Dir en Grey – Mazohyst of Decadence, Oscure(uncut), Embryo

Janne da Arc

Tommy February6 – Lonely in Gorgeous

Koda Kumi – Ningyo Hime

Bloodthirsty Butchers – Sanzan

HiGE – Dirty na sekai (Put your head)

BUCK-TICK – Kagerou
(this is the ending-song in xxxHolic and the two girls are *cute* ^^)
more to come…

College Life Exams Personal Worldly Matters

Observations in life – 1.

I have a lot of things to talk about.
Some might call me a loner. We’re busy students here. Our time tables are different and therefore when one is free the other might not be free. Most of the times the breakfast/lunch/dinner times are the only chances we get to interact. When you’re free either you lock yourself up in the room and listen to crap for limitless periods of time or watch anime till you exhaust all the episodes out.

Some, like me, like a lot of over-the-internet socialising -mostly shouting at and getting shouted at by fellow orkuteers. The internet is a big place. Some say the internet made the world smaller. To me it looks like my world has just got bigger. People. They come in all sizes and shapes; and yet there are always cases where you can find similarities among people. These similarities are so ubiquitous that we tend to generalize most of the time without examining the depth of similarity among people who we’re upto generalizing about. Orkut is a big external thing. We have internal newsgroups in the campus. A lot of funny stuff goes on there. Slashdot and similar sites are great ways
to keep in touch with the rest of the world.

By the way, my exams ended today 😛

I’ll be back.
