I was like that years ago. I mean, during my teenage.
I was totally into japanese music that I often said 'western music is crap, Japan is the best!!1 Kawaiidesune(^_^)v' lol. I'm totally a music sucker as well, so I was listened to
anything seriously. Mainstream, indie, j-urban, shibuya-kei, j-rock, visual-kei, oshare-kei, enka, etc. I'm thankful to that, because I know much more about japanese music now. But growning up make me appreciate western music too. I remember when I was watching a Mononoke Hime AMV with Loreena Mckennitt's Mummers Dance as bgm. I totally fallen in love with her voice. Suddenly, my brain worked properly and et voilą
wapanese brainwash disappear
.
I discovered a lot of wonderful western groups and singers, even though I love oldie music more than most of 00s music. Especially 50s, 70s and a little bit of 80s. And classical music.
I'm still a japanese music lover though, but not so obsessive like before.
Music is such a wonderful thing it's a waste do not appreciate it just because of language, seriously. So my standars are:
I listen whatever I like, genre and language doesn't matter at all.
