noa

I should be

Ahh you're so lucky! And that must've been a very fun and exciting 10 minutes. :P

What was the eclipse like for you? Were you watching during the peak of the eclipse and how dark did it get? Did you notice a drop in temperature at all? o:

I didn't see the eclipse. : ( I may have been asleep while it happened, not sure.. but I didn't have the protective eyewear everyone was talking about either. :P Apparently this was the first solar eclipse to be seen in the U.S since 1979 or something like that which is pretty cool. I really feel like I missed out though. =(

Hey Noa how are things? ^^

Alright!

That's a terrible time for me usually but I'll try ^_^

When is best for you to do our sun tour games?

Glass no kaze is a beautiful song, I haven't heard the full album though but that song gives me goosebumps. :)

Woooww, 10 years is a pretty long time.. that's when I first started discovering music for myself. Before then all I really knew was MTV and whatever silly stuff played on the radio, and when I first heard Jmusic I was like omg what is this aaaa. Of course, my first exposure to Jmusic was through anime like everyone else, but when I discovered the actual Jmusic scene I was overwhelmed with excitement, it was like discovering burried treasure. xD No srsly.

I discovered Jpopasia in like 2007, and I would still highly recommend that site. http://www.jpopasia.com/charts/jpop/oricon/ I noticed many years ago that new releases in Japan were constant, while here in the U.S the same song is played over and over again until you get sick of it. Ever thought about that? It's so weird. I think the mainstream music industry here in the U.S is trying to drive us slowly into slow insanity or something with all that vexatious repetition. :D

Yessss Nintendo <3 Those are all really nice relaxing OSTs and I've played all those games! Nintendo soundtracks are pretty relaxing and soothing, good for stress relief as silly as that sounds. :) I also can't stress enough how good the music from the LoZ series is, and Final Fantasy's music is pretty nice too. Mmm low is pretty nice, David Bowie is an interesting one. His tunes make me want to relax and dance at the same time. It's a real shame he's not with us anymore, seems we're losing a lot of great musicians lately actually. =/ I recommend his album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, it's really nice too and ya might like it.

You're pretty cool Noa, glad to meet you. ^^

Hsisiswudsg dammit I thought I already sent you reply of last msg. Haha yes it got a prequel Fate stay night. Yup! Animation is damn good. A little xD You see there is a internship program in my uni with one of Canada's college. I'm thinking of enrolling in it. So it may be possible that i visit canada for study next year :p

I was an anime convention/gaming and stuff. I cosplay Hilda (gen5 female main character). Was my first experience and I wish it won't be my last! :p

I am doing alright, thanks! :) Hope I could be more productive, or being able to concentrate more, as usual lol. I always loved Animal crossing hehe, and I love Happy Home Deisgner too <3 We can do so many cute stuff with the QR codes available online... some people are so talented! I am actually starting to post my houses online, just for fun lol.

And I am sorry about your health and body :( I wish for you to find a new job that you will love <3 :D

And being a nerd is the best thing hahaha! I went to my first convention a few weeks ago, I loved it :o It was soooooo awesome??!! I did a Pokemon trainer cosplay and loved it, sadly I could not get my hands on many pictures of me. Guess I will wear it again and take some pictures as a souvenir haha! Before I cut my hair, then they won't be fitting in the cosplay. It got me to buy my first wig, which I will receive in two days lol I can't wait.

Glad you like, I forgot some very important ones like Ikimono Gakari, silly me. :D Wow you like Kotoko really?!? I don't know anyone else he even knows who she is! I actually own one of her albums too, "hane". <3

Video game music can be pretty relaxing, and I listen to it occasionally for that purpose. What are your favorite OSTs? :O The rest of those genres you named have their fair share or gems as well and I've been around and heard a bit of everything. :) My taste is also sorta diverse, I love classic American and European acts and such too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYYRH4apXDo

NOAAA
Ahh aw cute hehe ^_^ I am slowly coming back I think! I didn't played Pokemon in a while to be honest. I am more Animal crossing Happy home designer mwahaha

So how are you??

Oh goshh there are so many it's impossible to name them all but...some other Jpop artists I like would have to include Hikaru Utada, Kumi Koda, Namie Amuro, The Sxplay, Yuna Ito, BoA, Mami Kawada, Puffy, Bennie K, Kotoko, Van Tomiko (And Do As Infinity), anything by Tomoko Kawase, Nana Kitade, Aya Kamiki and plenty of others, again in no particular order, just naming some off the top of my head. xD I'm a tiny bit oldschool really. It's pretty hard to list favorites because there are so many great Jpop artists out there, like the diversity is pretty insane when you think about it, and there are so many incredible musicians and bands over there. I'm actually pretty surprised Jmusic isn't appreciated more than it is in the states like Kpop is, considering that there's so much talent and variety. I also like some of those adorable idol groups like Morning Musume, AKB48, Arashi, Berryz Kobo, C-ute, and others that are pretty good. It's hard to keep up with all of the constant new releases though, so I tend to miss out on a lot. :( What about you? And so sorry for the massive block of text. x[

Absolutely yes, but I thought my avatar made that a liiiiiitle bit obvious. I'm a big fan of her. :P

Some things are irreplaceable, and don't need to be changed. :)

"Checking off topic you are totally dominating it haha (In a good way), its probably one of the most active boards on here now."

Oh really? That's nice to know! :) I just have a lot on my mind most of the time (for better and for worse), and I actually had to stop myself from posting too many threads. xD

By the way your profile looks so gorgeous, I really adore it! It's much prettier than my boring blank profile haha.

It's the best Pokemon forum I've ever been to by a mile.. Well, I'd even go beyond that and say it's the best forum actually, because of the wonderful variety this place has. Heck even a person who doesn't play Pokemon could enjoy this forum, because of the off-topic and entertainment sections. It's pretty neat because I like to talk about everything you can imagine, and I'm afraid I'd feel pretty bored if I were the guest at a place that only discusses one topic. :)

Speaking of which, one of my topics has 39 posts within 4 days, which I find pretty wonderful. :) My other topics are doing pretty well too. People seem very friendly and intelligent, and that's always nice too. :D

Oh man, I have to watch the anime. xD It does sound really fun by how you describe it. :) Well many of those anime I grew up with, so they were a pretty big part of my childhood. I'm open to any types of anime, just as long as the plots aren't too silly. I do like fighting and adventure, but I like a little bit of romance too. I've seen some of Lucky Star, and I thought it was really really silly and funny. :P

I'm currently watching a channel on Youtube called 'Second Thought', and the videos they upload are very interesting. I'm not so much sure you're into this kind of videos, but I think it's worth checking out maybe. :) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJm2TgUqtK1_NLBrjNQ1P-w/videos
