I've always wanted one of those... =/

Re: Also - I wonder if Pillar falls under that catergory... *is thoughtful*

Oh! J-Pop/Rock!

My first J-pop CD was Nami Tamaki's CD Greeting, and I really like it. Her music is really upbeat and happy (despite me not knowing any Japanese) and sounds great in any mood I'm in (and picks up my bad moods.)

I also like L'Arc~en~Ciel's CD Smile. They're a J-Rock group, so it's a little harder but sounds great.

But I would suggest Tamaki's first.

Also, the Fullmetal Alchemist soundtrack is pretty good, it has a L'Arc~en~Ciel song on it. The rest are good, a friend gave me those. But it only has about 8 songs on it. (Look up the CD, maybe at Borders or BestBuy websites) and then look up the bands that play on it. I want to find out more about them, they sound good.))

I just saw Mitsumassyu today, live, for the second time.

They're pretty fun and upbeat. Check them out and see if you like them. I certainly enjoyed them.
