Hey guys, Season here~
So, back in 2011, I watched a whole ton of anime when I was at university with my friends. One of the things we watched was No. 6. and frankly, it was terrible and a huge waste of time. But what it DID have was a good OP and ED, introducing me to both Lama and Aimer. As with a lot of artists I often take a short while to warm up to them, so it wasn't until a little later on that I decided to look further after hearing Anata ni Deawa Nakereba in 2012, upon which I downloaded a copy of Sleepless Nights and really enjoyed it. Ended up downloading After Dark when that came out too, but somehow missed Midnight Sun. Eventually ended up preordering DAWN and Daydream since then, plus picking up copies of both Sleepless Nights when I was in Japan back in 2015. Safe to say, Aimer is now one of my favourite artists and I absolutely cannot get over how amazing her voice is. My favourite songs of hers are Hakuchuumu, AM03:00 (especially the live ver. from the Brave Shine single), Words, Cold Sun, us and Falling Alone, although even her weakest songs are still decent.
As for other artists I like, Kalafina is my main love. I'm also pretty biased towards Eiko Shimamiya, ClariS, Maon Kurosaki, Mami Kawada, Perfume, Band-Maid and ling tosite sigure in regards to Japanese music, plus countless others from the rest of the world. Outside of Japanese pop and rock, I'm also a pretty big fan of heavy and extreme metal (Insomnium, Draconian, Cult of Luna), rock (The Cure, Garbage, 65daysofstatic) and soundtracks/scores (Keichi Okabe, Clint Mansell, Akira Yamaoka, Yuki Kajiura), although I'm pretty open to most genres and dabble across the board from time to time.
Outside of music, I'm mostly into videogames. I occasionally watch TV/Anime/Film, but most of my time is spent on a work/game/music/sleep cycle, so I don't watch nearly as much as I used to.
I'm actually going to be in Japan in a couple weeks time for a fortnight, attending the 10th Anniversary Kalafina Live and was planning on attending Aimer's Hiver tour in Kyoto whilst I was there, but didn't manage to get any tickets for Aimer :<. Last time I was in Japan I ended up going home from Osaka the same day she was performing there as well, so I guess I just have terrible luck when it comes to seeing her perform. One day, maybe.
