New translation; new song of the month. While pushing this update I reminisced on the fact that everyone still considers me a Visual Kei fanatic: it's true to an extent, but my love is actually for New Wave and Nerdcore Techno. My favourite Japanese New Wave-inspired acts happening to be Visual Kei is entirely incidental (even on THEIR parts, but I should write about that sometime because it's funny)!

The focus page of this fansite is the "love" page; I began with an attempt to do a writeup on why I like the three eras of Metronome (as defined by yours truly) so much, but I had no idea how I was coming off. It ended up half-biographical.

you definitely reached your goal! Ive been meaning to listen to them and you convinced me at last. From the layout, graphics, to your words of appreciation...Its all very cute hehe

I'm so so glad ><
