Dealing with introductons, reviews and critisms of Japanese Rock music and community, interupted with some rambling.

vulgar shudder

Just spent 4 years studying Japanese at the School of Oriental and African Studies. Spent a year studying at Ochanomizu Jyoshi Daigaku (posh or WHAT?!)in Tokyo, where I had nothing better to do than go to Lives. Wanted to be a research student with a fat stipped, but failed that so am applying to be a english teaching monkey. Interest in Modern Japanese Literature (Taisho), Modern Girl, Kimono, Fashion, Music, subcultural studies...yada yada the usual. Bitter and cynical due to various factors, likes drama. BRING IT ON.
