[goshinbi44]

sweet, looking forward to the vids. I still haven't found any bands that I especially like, so I just shuffle through a ton of songs. A recommendation vid would be pretty cool. On that note I would also like a vid were you talk about what you do at that anime company.

@TkkyoSam: I listen to mostly JAPANESE RPG MUSIC & Anime/Game Jpop. My favorite artists of all time are: Yasunori Mitsuda, Akino Arai, Nobou Uematsu, and Yuki Kajiura. There are of course more like Maata Sakamoto but those are what first popped into my head. Those artists would sound very nice in a music video!
