I hate these kind of thingies, but I wanted my answers from so I have to pay my price Nahh really, comment if you like, I`m happy to answer

Comment on this journal and I shall answer the following things:

a) tell you why I friended you,
b) associate you with something - fandom, a song, a colour, a photo, etc.,
c) tell you something I like about you,
d) tell you a memory I have of you,
e) ask something I've always wanted to know about you,
f) tell you my favorite pic of yours,
g) in return, you must post this in your journal.

Today, I was watching Alice Nine`s PVs on YouTube, and just for fun, took a look at the comments that have been left to one video.

I couldn`t believe my eyes.

There were many comments left by someone who had obviously something against Japan and japanese people and music, and he was shouting out his opinions of Alice Nine and all j-rockers. If they would`ve been like, pure and accepting critique, it would have been okay, but no... Read it yourself:
"Lame music, lame voices. Gay looking hairless fairy boys. Geez, listen to ramstein or metalicca! stop listening to this crap!"

I mean, seriously. That`s just pointless, a great example of a narrow-minded person who can`t accept anyone elses opinions. A person who judges a beautiful song just because of what the band looks like or where it comes from.
And when the fans tell him to stop and not to comment if he doesn`t like, this is what he`ll say: "Jrock sucks little b****. Do you really thing those gay mofos can do any music? They are just singing cheap irritating music with their fairy gay faces." And that`s not even the whole comment, he says some really rude things to the fan whose comment he responded (and
as you can see, he can`t even write correctly). And then there are several more comments from him saying "j-rock is gay" and "j-rock is horrible", "singer`s voice is horrible", "j-rock is for emos and fangirls", and then he like, abuses the whole japanese society and japanese people themselves.
(but just for you to know, this journal entry is not for judging that certain person, but to talk commonly about people like that)

What is wrong with that kind of people?? Talk about racism! I just can`t understand it: A beautiful song with great lyrics and melody, and beautiful artists playing it (the fact that they are men does not mean that they can`t be worth of that adjective). And some people judge it as shit just because it is japanese music played by japanese people and because artists are pretty-looking men and that makes them gay even if they`re not. And so what if some of them were? Do people think that you can`t do good music if you`re gay? And what is wrong with gays anyway?? How does being a gay make human a worse person? I just don`t get it.

Back to the point, even if you don`t like the song or the band, you don`t have to go and insult it with that kind of comments. If you don`t like it, fine, if you think it`s shit, fine, but you still don`t have to shout out your opinion, especially when you`re among people who happen to like the band and be hurt by hearing someone saying such rude things about it. I`m not saying all this just because of that one person, but because I`ve been in many situations like this before, and I really find it irritating. I like the band but I`m still not going out and telling every dude who passes by that this band is great, you have to listen to it and other j-rock and nothing else.

I really don`t think that you can say "this music is bad" or "this music is better than that music" anyway. Of course I do think that the bands I listen are way better than any other bands, but that doesn`t make it a fact, that is just something I think. And I`m not saying anyone that my band is better than theirs, because it`s just my opinion of that thing, and it`s totally unnecessary to insult someone by praising that music you listen over other music that they listen.

IT IS A MATTER OF OPINION! There is no single band that every people in the world like! The fact that some music doesn`t please you doesn`t make it bad music! It`s all about the bands and the music you yourself think are good and close to your heart, and the music you yourself don`t like to listen. There are no good or bad. Of course there might be and there are technically better music with more meaningful lyrics, and better bands with more dedicated members, but still, there`s really not seriously made music or bands that one can call shit.
That is what I think. I accept everyone else`s opinions, even if they`re opposite of what I think. But what I do not accept is people who don`t accept other opinions than their own. I think that is something that makes a person mentally poor. You can think what you want, as long as it doesn`t lead to hurting somebody, physically or mentally, or forcing them to think like you do.

We`re all different. Let`s at least try to remember that.

So. I haven`t been very active here in DA, but I`ve been trying to comment all your works and some journals (sorry if I haven`t, though I still read and check `em all).

The thing is, there have been lots of exams in school, and there`re going to be lots more. Though that is a very crappy excuse coz I never really study for them much, but I still stress about them.
The real thing is, that I`m trying to get my works published, and I`m actually doing a short comic strip for a finnish magazine named Kirjain, and I`m reeeeeally excited about it. I`ve never had any of my works published anywhere, so this means a lot to me. It has to be done until June, and I haven`t even started yet -_- I`m struggling with the plot and everything, so I decided to make a new, better version of a comic I sent to one competition (it never won or got published anywhere). I hope it`s allright... And with my artistic block I probably can`t get started until it`s two days to deadline. Hehe...

And I feel a little guilty about it, cause there are soooo many so amazingly good artists here who don`t have a chance to get their works published, even if they are so much talented than me (and some even younger than me)... But, I`m still very grateful of this chance and will be giving everything I`ve got to be worth it, now and in future!

So I won`t be drawing here for a while, but I`m still trying to comment your works and stuff and ~ChickenKai, I`m sooo sorry for being this late with my part of our trade ;___; I`ve been working with it, but can`t get anything done because of all other stuff to do and think, and I really want to do at least as good job with it as you did with your part (which I probably can`t, it was so amazing)! But don`t worry, I will definitely do it, sooner or later!!

Phew, thank you if you read all the way here :'D Take care everybody! ~

My cousin`s band, Cantata Sangui, will publish their first record soon. I`ve heard only one of their songs, and though that music genre isn`t really one of my personal favorites, I totally fell in love with it and can`t wait to hear more from them. You can listen it here [link]
It would really mean a lot to me if you listened whole song And if you feel like wanting to know more of them, here`s their website [link]
And of course, if you liked them, please support them by buying their record when it comes out! ^^ Thank you!

So, I got featured in `s journal (yay), and now I`m doing the same thing, so the first ten people who reply to this journal get featured here, along with three of my favorite deviations from their gallery.
The catch is: In turn, you have to put this in your journal and do the same.
