Blog Number 1

Hi, My names Daryl. I'm not Japanese, I'm not even slightly Japanese. In fact I'm English.
At the moment in time I'm 26 and I have a passion for all types of music.

I've always been in to the Japanese "Arts" and especially music, I'm not sure what made me delve into this world, but I'm glad I did.
From a musicians point of view (I'm a musician ya know) musically everything I've heard come from Japan is fantastic. Production is always first class and musicians within the bands/acts are always on top form. I think a lot of people wont delve into this world as they can't get over the singing in Japanese. Hey, I don't speak Japanese, but I do find myself singing the melodies to a lot of the music I listen to.

When I was younger and the internet was not as big or fast finding Japanese music was a bloody hard task. I always found myself searching the credits at the end of Japanese DVDs for "music performed by". Or I would try and search the Japanese version of Play and Amazon to find stuff. Now days the web it huge! Recently I came across some fantastic blogs: http://voodoovault.blogspot.com/ and http://nyu-anime.blogspot.com. They both feature not just Japanese but Korean music too. These blogs have given me a fantastic portal for discovering Japanese music that I would of otherwise been unaware of. Make sure you check the sites out!

Anyway I'm not going to carry on for to much longer. As I want to start posting.

But welcome to my blog. Please comment , share, etc.
