Anou houhou desu ka?

Let me introduce myself. My name is Patrick, I’m 20, and I live in South Florida. I’ve been listening and singing music my entire life and was inspired to start this blog after reading the blog ‘appears’ you can find this blog in my blogroll.
     I plan on reviewing music from both sides of both the Atlantic and Pacific and beyond. I may, every once and a while, review an older album from the early ’00s, but rarely any farther back than that.
     My musical tastes are not locally founded most of the time as my main enjoyment comes from JPop (that’s Japanese Pop and anyone who’s heard good JPop will tell you that every song, and especially the ones I listen to, always have amazing beats and/or good melodies)… I may not understand it, but I enjoy it tremendously and definitely read translations when they appear online.
     Oh, and don’t be afraid, I will cover American releases too. 
     Be forewarned, I’m opinionated and so therefore that will be mostly what my blog includes: my opinion. I do research, by which I mean I do study music in college and listen to an ungodly amount of music and so I hope that I will objective about music on occasion, but because music is such a personal statement, opinion will infiltrate that sooner or later…

P.S. So, if your even halfway interested, here is what my voice sounds like,  I know I messed up some words… ;P I sang ‘Baby Don’t Cry’ by Namie Amuro.

  1. hi hi! Yumi_Kei here :)
    this blog rocks! your reviews are amazing, you treat it very profesionally. I especially like the Music Shuffle. That PLAY review was also nice. Full Moon is an amazig song, probably my favorite from Namie, ever. ;)

  2. Hey, great blog! Could you add me in your blog roll. Mine is about JPop too!!! Here is a link if you decide to add me.

  3. I’ve been listening to JPop for about 7 months I think… I have just grown to love it :)

  4. Well you got yourself quite the little setup here dont you? Well I LOVE IT…and it seems so does everybody..
    but of course they do…

  5. Jaimee says: Yay for Patrick! I’m so proud of you, you musical-smarty-pants you! lol.

    I love your blog, I do check in from time to time, and I find that it keeps me on my toes music wise.

    I’ll always be here to provide you with terms such as “picardy 3rd” so yeaaaaah. ^_^

  6. Thanks for all the comments! I link to pretty much any blog that covers JPop with good writing, though right now I’m still trying to figure out how I came across yours. >>;

    I abuse certain words a lot when I write, and I’m not really musically knowledgeable, so I’m usually surprised when people like my writing. It’s nice to know you think my writing’s funny, though. XD

    I actually like Amuro Namie’s releases after Say the Word a lot, but since there’s a lot of bloggers I’ve seen who also like her, I guess I’ve sort of left it to them to post about her while picking up the writing slack on boybands and other pop groups. I do have a couple of drafts on her releases waiting to be finished and posted, though. Maybe I’ll get around to it sometime.
