J-Rocks' songs are more than 25% copycatting L'arc~en~Ciel's. @ 01:15
..and now that it makes me wonder are copycatting-acts really an effective shortcut to get to the hall of fame.
Not that I love L'arc. Not that I love Hyde or Tetsu or Ken since I never listened to their releases unless that Ready Steady Go!, Stay Away and Hitomi no Jyuunin when I was in Junior High School. But really. Even if I'm not one of their fans, I will never ever agree nor accept copycatting which was commonly hidden in a boring excuse such as 'overly-influenced-til-you-accidentaly-steal-the-said-influential-artist's-base-arrangements, lyrics, guitar notes and its whole atmospheres' for no matter what. Even if I detest J-Rocks from the very beginning, I'm not simply biased by recklessly judging cause I've been comparing
Semakin Sendiri to Hitomi no Jyuunin, Kau Curi Lagi to Time Goes On, PDKT to Link, Selamat Tinggal Kekasihku to 4th Avenue Cafe, and Ceria to C'est La Vie, and too many deliberated similarities clearly aren't worth to be called as influenced. And OH, right, even their outfit, hair style, make-up and PV theme once was forgering Alice Nine's in White Prayer. ~____~
However. Happy happy 19th birthday, mon-chere! Now that you're legally adult, I'm wishing you to be a lot more mature than before. Have a blessed year always. <3

i my me mine.
you think you know me yeah?
April 5th, 1992. ISTP. Engineering student, batch 2009.
Likes sweets, cats, good readings, interesting people, prominent basslines, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese and Stanley Kubrick's movies. DC-type individual. Constantly rants, sulks and rambles about random things. A fan of Urasawa Naoki. Easily gets bored. A weirdo. Longs to reside in either Canada or Australia. Has an indescribable fondness towards... Byung-hee, Mon Jae Shin, do they hit the hint I'm referring to? I mean,
similarities between those two?
And music. I don't even know where to start. I don't want to be one of those bellends who's all like, "MAN MUSIC IS WHAT I LIVE FOR I'M GONNA DIE WITHOUT IT", but I come close. Suffice to say that music plays a large part in my life. My last.fm library pretty much caters my current listening habit (and, if any, rotation) - I'm basically a shameless sucker for instrumental, post/prog-rock, folk, ambient, experimental and avant-garde; anything that intrigues my musical deity.
Lastly, to name a trait, paradoxical describes me best.
