NAME: Shay, also known as Kiba FORUM HANDLE:xKyuketsuki ORIGINS: New York POSITION(s): Staff Writer, researcher, Japanese translator, graphic artist
INFO:My first introduction to Japanese music was when Gackt first went solo and my friend came running up to me with pictures of him and his song Mizerable. I got really into Jrock after that and started listening to more bands like Laruku and Dir en Grey until my list of music was so long I needed to write it all down or I'd forget. I love Japanese music because it hasn’t conformed to the blah same generic music other countries have turned into and I hope it never looses it's bold and amazing sound. To help spread my love of it I own a store called [Actuate Eden] in the game of Second Life where you can get cosplay of various Jrockers to wear in the game made by me. I am excited to be a part of Kanzen now too to help promote bands more in ways I couldn't in Second Life!
