Phew! That took a long time to do. Too many Japanese artists >_<

I have problems with categorizing the artists because I stalk seiyuus lol. Like Paku Romi and Kaida Yuki etc. Their roles are kinda jumbled up. Prince of Tennis songs mixed their seiyuus up in soo many songs, but I mostly listen to the three 'groups' I listed. There are like 10 of the artists at the same rank for my 100st artist, so I just listed according to Last.fm's order till there are total of 100 artists in the list so some artists are left out :(

STEP ONE: List your top twenty most scrobbled artists and the total number of listeners for each.

1 KAT-TUN (27,758 listeners)
2 NEWS (28,319 listeners)
3 C.N.BLUE (4,992 listeners)
4 SS501 (22,286 listeners)
5 F.T Island (17,921 listeners)
6 Aqua Timez (33,491 listeners)
7 SHINee (23,860 listeners)
8 B2ST (9,430 listeners)
9 テゴマス (9,102 listeners)
10 亀梨和也 (5,739 listeners)
11 Scary Kids Scaring Kids (238,067 listeners)
12 山下智久 (12,800 listeners)
13 2AM (11,434 listeners)
14 手越祐也 (1,937 listeners)
15 2PM (37,960 listeners)
16 G-Dragon (17,830 listeners)
17 동방신기 (35,420 listeners)
18 We The Kings (249,939 listeners)
19 Anamu & Maki (775 listeners)
20 レミオロメン (26,969 listeners)


STEP TWO: Calculate the total listeners of these artists.

TOTAL: 816029


STEP THREE: Find the average of this total by dividing by 20.

AVERAGE: 40801.45


STEP FOUR: Divide this figure by the total number of listeners for the top scrobbled artist on Last.fm.

Top artist: Coldplay (2828133 listeners)

MAINSTREAM: 0.01442699


STEP FIVE: Finally, multiply this by 100 and round off to get your mainstream percentage.

MAINSTREAM PERCENTAGE: 1.442699


My listening habits are 1.44% mainstream

o.o
I bet if i had done this a few months ago ago with my other account, where i had listened to a lot more music, and no asian music exept 宇多田ヒカル then the percentage would have deffinitely been higher... like maybe at least 10% XD

Okay so here are all the CD's i've brought and its not a very large collection either so i suppose making a journal entry is to keep myself aware of what i've got xD I will also include any items by asian artists that aren't CD either for example posters, DVD's and items.

THIS QUIZ HAS NO QUESTIONS FOR #33. :| maria feel all left out now.

The only really nice thing about extended dearths of anything I'm interested in is, as far as I can tell, the fact that sometimes, everyone decides to release all at once. What I've been watching lately:

- Of course 嵐 are topping the list! I haven't seen more than about fifteen seconds of PV teaser for Troublemaker, and as is often the case, I wasn't particularly sold on what I did hear. And then, on a whim, I found their MSta special performance and fell utterly in love. I think that first of all, given the impossibility of a five-member performance, they handled it wonderfully: Sho's virtual presence, beyond all its technological novelty, somehow saves the set from the loneliness of four-member Arashi. And the interactions are even there! I love that Sho seems to be smiling at Ohno, and Riida gives him a thumbs-up acknowledgment back. And everyone who is onstage looks happy and sincere and wonderful! 揺らせ、今を might not strike me as anything too special in its own right, but in this set, I'm loving it.

I do love Troublemaker absolutely, no holds barred. Choreography! Instrumentals! The kind of catchy chorus I'd been missing from their recent releases--I found myself singing 単純なくらい　はじける Moving now! Moving now! on the train--and I take a lot of trains--for about two days straight. (And the audience chiming in for "su-weet su-weet"--awww.) And, of course, the hands-on-shoulders line dance! I almost melted all over my desk. I love that the boys seem to be ushering in their second decade in inimitable Arashi style--and I don't think it's just my bias seeing an unusually delighted response from the MSta guests.

- I think it'd be difficult for KAT-TUN to be anything but underwhelming following Arashi, but you know what, guys, on your own merits you did good at MSta too. I think it helped that their set had so much crowd interaction: KAT-TUN can't fall back on chemistry or synchronized dance, but here they're doing pretty well on the energy front. Can't say I prefer Kame's haircut, and I'm not quite sure how to feel about Junno's Draco Malfoy look, but I do love his smile, and Nakamaru's looking great, and Koki's so happily enthused about 君と踊りたい that I actually believe him. I can't tell whether Jin actually cares at all behind his glasses, but he sounds good, and I feel like they've toned down the auto-tune for this performance, which certainly doesn't hurt.

As far as I'm concerned, though, the real star here was Ueda. I'm not sure if it's the hair or what, but Tacchan looks gorgeous here--I kept following him even when the camera was focusing on someone else, and for someone who gets so few lines, that kind of stage presence is pretty damn impressive. I feel a little bad when it's so clearly meant to be Kame's show, but--Uebo, can I dance with you?

- I don't know if I'd be so into Hey! Say! JUMP's new release if I'd found it more normally, but I actually heard and liked it for the first time before I ever knew the artist, eating okonomiyaki with friends in an Osakan restaurant. I'm clearly no JUMP dai-fan; we couldn't figure out the artist, though my friend and I both decided it sounded like a Johnny's group we didn't know very well. Turned out to be 瞳のスクリーン. (Friend: I looked up the lyrics I remembered, but I couldn't really find it. Might be something like Hey You Jump? Emily: Ohhhhh.) The weirdest thing, to me, was that this was three days before the official single release.

I can't say the PV itself is terribly impressive; I get the sense that タッキー&翼 did it already, and probably it better. And I can't manage to relate the shapeless white outfits to the grungy warrior bits and cheap Middle Earth sfx. But everyone is undeniably growing up (and some, like Yuuto, into Nishikido Ryo.) This is assuredly for the best, as I went "Hey, you're growing up nice" to more people than is probably appropriate, including but not limited to: Takaki, Hikaru (definite first,) Yuuto (thankfully, significantly more attractive than Ryo,) Chii, and, ticket to hell, Ryuutarou.

Daiki, conversely, is not growing up at all.

Yamachan, I don't know, maybe you should get a haircut.

(My friend, if you were curious, keitai-mailed me last night: "You're right, it was the JUMP song! PV is hilarious!" That said, she also stole it from me the very next morning. Score one for HSJ. And I suppose I should set bias aside and admit another victory here: much as I love Tsubasa, and wish he were more active with his other half, his solo PV couldn't keep me interested. As for JUMP, well... the proof is in my iPod.)

- The last video isn't really new so much as new to me, and its name is G.O.O.D Luv. I know a lot of fans were disappointed in the PV, wanted something more professional; my thinking, though, couldn't be more opposite. I think I'd heard the song before; it made no real impression. But seeing it subbed with the home video-style footage really pulled me in: the boys' obvious friendship, their real smiles with their group and with the children gave the song a gentle innocence and sincerity I don't think a bigger budget could have managed. If G.O.O.D Luv had been coupled with a polished, pricy PV, I don't think I would have watched twice; as it is, despite months of indifferent avoidance, I'm suddenly wanting to know more about MBLAQ. (First step: probably learning names other than Joon's.) So: anyone want to sell me on them?

I think I may have missed my boybands.

OMG!!! ;____;
the best live! AHHH KAT-TUN <333 raaaaw
