I had the fortune of meeting him during my thesis, and I can tell you that he is one of the few people with a healthy (and not romanticized) idea of Japan. Also because he isn't someone who sacrifices his life for Japan; I think he still works at the European Parliament.

I intended visual kei as pop culture, not as music (I didn't know there was visual music and I still don't understand why). I'm glad you agree on nipponico; it particularly pisses me off the way it portrays one of the few young scholars of contemporary Japan, Alessandro Gomarasca, as a racist.

If you’re referring to my comments, and I repeat IF, then we misunderstood each other. I don’t criticize those who listen to visual kei; it’s just strange to me that it’s still around since it was a phenomenon primarily from the 80s. That's my fault for not being up to date. Anyway, at most, I was criticizing a very common approach of stereotypical fascination with Asia, in Italy as well as abroad. And this doesn’t mean that you or anyone else here, just because you follow Japanese music, are part of that. But perhaps my problem is that I don’t see extreme novelties (besides the "visual" aspect of this music) compared to Western counterparts. That's why I wonder, "But if it weren’t for the aesthetic strangeness, and it came from Missouri, would many still listen to it?" I understand better when we talk about Japanese music that stands out for its particularity, like Japanoizu, for example. Also, I like Japanese bands that blatantly borrow Western stylistic elements without even a hint of originality, so it’s not a personal critique. Let’s say it’s a reflection I often make after having lived in and studied Japan... and especially after reading bullshit sites like nipponico.com.

If we were to meet face to face, I think it would be quite a tough battle of logorrhea! That's why I write little; if I followed all the ideas I have in my head, I'd always be writing 3,000-4,000 characters!

the question was more about the advice, about the "form" with culture and about the attached facts....

Many of those you mention are quite a bit less entertaining than their lesser-known U.S. equivalents. The Rainbow Ffolly honestly seem rather insignificant to me, the same goes for the Open Mind except for Magic Potion, which is a BOMB. I recently listened to Skip Bifferty again, but I still can’t tell if they’re worth it. I really like the Art, and I wanted to review the Apple about three years ago, but then I backed out (too many ups and downs). I know the others by name but have never listened to them. Anyway, for a good little guide of garage and psych nuggets, II does its job well, since it often features the best tracks from otherwise unremarkable bands.

@Elio: I'm a bit scared to approach japrocksampler, first because much of the stuff it talks about seems a bit overrated to me, and then because I'm afraid to read the introductory part about Japan, which I fear might be a bit stereotypical. Maybe I'll buy it at CHRISTMAS.

How do you know the kurnalkool???? Well, I saw them for the first time in '86, they’re from my city or almost, and I know half of them too. My favorite remains the always joyful "Slongame la biscia."
