Okay, you guys. This has been long in coming, but a couple of issues have finally decided it.
First of all, I specifically state in my user info that I am NOT open for requests until I specifically say I am. And, when I am, I always put a limit on the number of requests that I accept. When I say that the requests are closed, they're closed. I seriously don't appreciate continuously being bombarded by lists of request AFTER I have said that the requests are closed--several times, in fact. PLEASE don't request for stuff unless I say you can. I'm tired of getting LJ comments and emails from people, tracking me down, just to tell me that they want this and they want that. I'm telling you point blank right now that I ignore every single request after I close them. I don't even bother reading them--they're automatically deleted.
One thing, however, that I'm willing to do is TRADE. There are currently several clips and performances that I've been looking for. In that case, I'll be more than happy to upload the things that you want--if you have what I'm searching for.
Another thing: The rules that I put up are simple. Really, they are. If you download, please comment. If you don't download, then please don't comment. Support the artists. That's essentially it. I've been getting random comments in this journal. I'm glad that you like the artists that I put up, truly I am, but if you don't download then please don't comment. From this point on, I'm disabling the 'email the comments' option because I'm just tired of all of the emails. I'm sorry, but my inbox has been getting flooded.
And this actually leads me to the next thing: No fighting. Yes, I'm happy with the fact that some of you are willing to stand up for me. But... no fighting. If I have to, I'll make this journal friends-only so that I'll have the ability to ban users. HOWEVER, this is NOT fair to the people who don't have journals, and use this rotation journal to get some of their media. I don't want to do this, but if you guys leave me no choice, then I will do it. So play nice, okay?
That's essentially it. Thanks for reading, you guys. <3

P.S. - Much, much love for Mika~ ♥♥♥

The rest of the requests are going to be put up this weekend, since it's a three day weekend and I'll have time to do the videos. Thank you to everyone who wished me luck with both my English paper and my tattoo check up. The English paper was easy to do, but apparently I have to go in to get parts of my wings redone. Yay? XD;;;

The TRAX - Typhoon of the Rose Attack on X-Mas
Review:
I adore The TRAX. They're a Korean band, managed by Yoshiki (anyone remember X-Japan~? >D), and... all I have to say is that these boys are talented. Typhoon/Jay Kim on vocals, Rose/No MinWoo on the drums or guitar (my boi is a very talented boi~ <333), X-mas/Kim JungMo on guitar, and Attack/Kang JungWoo on bass. In some ways, their music reminds of Linkin Park--the ability to go from soft to hard, seamlessly, and then suddenly come out with screaming and almost-rapping vocals. These boys hit all of my kinks... music-wise, anyway. >D The point? I recc this band LIKEWOAH.
The TRAX - Tears (Japanese version - X-Japan cover)-by the way? I actually prefer this version to the original sung by Toshi. download this, if you know what's good for you <--*not so subtle threat*
The TRAX - Paradox The TRAX - On The Road The TRAX - Knife (Korean version) The TRAX - PARADOX (PV) [Mika: Yes, I haven't forgotten about your Pierrot stuff that you asked for. However~ leave a comment telling me what TRAX stuff you have. Okay? >D]

Miyabi/Miyavi/MYV
Review:
Yes. Most people have heard of Miyavi. He was the guitarist for the now-bisbanded Due le Quartz. However~ I truly don't think that he's given the amount of attention that he should be given. Miyavi's music is different. You either like it, or you hate it. I don't really know how to describe it--it's something that's completely his style and no one else's. He's such an unique individual, too. You can tell that he doesn't really give a damn about what other people think of him. And I absolutely adore that. XD
Miyavi - Hatachi kinenbi -Peter Pan syndrome- Miyavi - Yatoware Mo Mi no Blues Miyavi - Ashita, Tenki Ni Naare. ~Dosha Furi ver. Miyavi - Ashita Genki Narae (PV)-this PV kills me with cute. XD Meev is such a loser, but~ on occassion, he can be an adorable loser <333

Janne Da Arc
Review:
Janne Da Arc was probably one of the first J-rock bands that I started really liking--even before L'Arc~en~Ciel. They have a wonderful beat and a lot most of their songs have this catchy tune/lyrics that you can't help but fall in love with. ^^;; And, like most Japanese groups, their sound varies so much. <3
Janne Da Arc - Wizard Janne Da Arc - Kiss Me Janne Da Arc - Psycho Dance Janne Da Arc - Shining Ray (PV) -
Kagrra
Review:
Ah, Kagrra~ Perhaps one of my most favorite visual kei band. *_* This group is absolutely gorgeous--both in the visual image they put forth, as well as the music they make. Their music videos manage both to be unique, as well as reflecting their Japanese culture. While many visual kei bands (in my opinion) tend to dress more in the 'Western' style, Kagrra dresses in the 'Eastern' style. And they make their visual aspect both appealing, true to their heritage, and absoulutely stunning. If you ever find stuff from Kagrra, most definitely download it.
Kagrra - Yami Ni Chirikeri Kagrra - Jajauma Hime Kagrra - Shuuen No Kisetsu Kagrra - acoustic Live -
(EXTRA)
Do As Infinity - Fukai Mori (PV) Miyavi's Valentine Day message-banging his head repeatedly against the table, anyone? XD;;
-
Part Two: BoA (yes, she's relatively popular, but I truly don't think that she's accorded the amount of attention that she truly deserves), Plastic Tree, Kimeru, Kiyoharu, Panic Channel, Duel Jewel, Chihiro Onitsuka
...maybe Siam Shade, too, if I'm not sick of uploading everything. And maybe also Gackt's Love Letter. Maybe~ ^^;;
Also~ I'm planning on uploading more of my favorite English artists. I've been neglecting them lately. XD;; Oooops?
Finally: SURVEY
--> No specific songs, but what artists would you like to see more of? I have a couple of ideas for more rotations later, but I just want feedback. I already know that, for most of you, TMR, Gackt, and Laruku are going to be some of the top answers. Anyone else? To give you an idea of the artists that I have, the
playlist. Once again, NO REQUESTS. Just artists.
