Basically I do not like to go to karaoke. Since most Japanese loves it, many many friends and colleagues ask me to go to the local karaoke but always say "NO". It's not that I do not like the music and singing, for example, every day when I take the train listening to music with my iPhone and iTunes is always on the computer when I'm home. Since the local Karaoke in Japan is basically singing Japanese songs that I know almost nothing (there are some songs of foreigners, even though I know them). This depends on the taste of music, basically do not listen to Japanese music so I do not know almost nothing of the singers / groups such famous Japanese Kumi Koda, Namie Amuro, EXILE, Ayumi Hamasaki, I only know their names, faces and the fact that they are famous in Giappone. Però non conosco che tipo di musica fanno infatti.
Il primo disco LP (non si vendeva ancora il CD in quel momento) che ho comprato era un greatest hit dei Beatles che si chiama The Beatles Beat quando avevo 11 o 12 anni (per l'esattezza mio padre me l'ha regalato). Prima di scoprire l'esistenza dell'hard rock ero matto dei Beatles anche se in quel momento non esistevano più. Conoscendo i Bon Jovi, l'album "New Jersey" il mio mondo è cambiato completamente, io a 14 anni sono diventato un pazzo dell'hard rock, era nel 1987. Dopo quasi 3 anni ho conosciuto 3 dischi, sono sicuro che il mio gusto musicale attuale dipende da questi 3 dischi. Erano "Eclipse" di un chitarrista neoclassical metal chiamato Yngwie Malmsteen , "Keeper Of The Seven Keys Part 1" of a melodic power metal band (in Japan at that time was called the "German metal") called Helloween, and "Deicide" of a death metal band called Deicide . Later I heard a lot of these types of music. In 1997, I often listened to two records, "THEL" of Therion, a symphonic death metal band: the merging of the neoclassical metal and death metal, "The Gallery" of Dark Tranquillity, a melodic death metal band. These are the last records I bought before starting work, after graduation, I stopped listening to this music because the work was too demanding and there was no time for fun. After nearly six years, I started to follow the heavy metal slowly because I finally managed to learn how to work the sea. And in this moment I started listening to Italian music to learn the Italian language (I started studying it since 2003). But things have reached this point.
So there was no room for Japanese music in my life. But last year, in 2009 I hit a symphonic metal band in Japan. Her name is Liv the Moon, consists of a singer Akane LIV, a composer Tatsuya Nishiwaki. The singer is Eurasian daughter of a Swedish and a Japanese woman, born in Sweden in 1978 (his last name is Liv Swedish). He was a member of the Takarazuka Revue troupe : very popular in Japan until 2004, and after leaving the company went to Europe to study the works of William Shakespeare, and so on. Then in 2009 he founded a group to influence a symphonic metal group Nightwish the . Without prejudice to the Japanese music does not interest me but this group is very special, even though most of the text is Japanese, and real symphonic metal. I think the Europeans might be interested.
