^I've been a HUGE fan of them since 1997. Namie Amuro & L'Arc~en~Ciel were my official introduction into Japanese music. Only Japanese stuff I listened to before that was like theme songs from like Sailor Moon, Tenchi Muyo, Gundam Wing, CardCaptor Sakura and a couple other 90's animes. The biggest trouble I have is I'm SUPER close to Toronto which is where all the concerts happen in my province, but sadly, it's EXTREMELY rare that anybody I like comes here for so much as a photoshoot. So if they do come to this area of the world it's usually in the US and I need to save up for like almost a year to afford tickets and transportation. When I went down to see 2NE1 I ended up coming straight back afterwards. Really tired me out, but thankfully the train ride was quiet so I got some nice easy rest.
