    Nah, it's okay XD I might do the same every now and then X3

    Well, I mostly listen to my own music. One of the main reasons I don't listen to the radio is that my friend would always give me copies of her music CDs. I haven't talked to her in a while, but one of the last times I saw her, she gave me 65 CDs which I haven't even gotten around to yet! =o_o;=

    I listen to radio when I'm driving, though. X3 So again, not much. XDD I'd more up on current karaoke trends if I did more, though XD

    Ah, kinda...but I'd rather listen to all my music on shuffle, then I don't know what's going to come up next, and I like all the music that comes up...:D

    I use youtube for music and music videos...:D...That's the only thing it's good for, for me, because I can find all the music I want to listen to on there (except this one song that's driving me crazy because I absolutely have no clue where it's from and I can't find the correct name for it or anything...TT^TT).

    Yeah, the radio has WAAAYYY better quality than itunes...Which has terrible quality...>.> Sometimes listening to the radio is bothersome so, for me, I'd rather listen to my music than the radio, even if it has better sound quality (I actually prefer youtube over all of them...XD).

    If they sing badly in a song but manage to pull it off, I'll give them credit for that. :D I listen to some people who don't have the most melodic voices, but make it work. Then again, that's rock for you....

    Bahhh...I'd rather not listen to a radio...though...I consider it often, I never really listen to radios...They may be on random, but sometimes I have a song that I suddenly MUST listen to (which is why I listen to my music on random, and it's basically like a radio, 'cept it has all of the songs I like).

    Aw, well, not much you can do about that, I guess. Though another reason I still have it is because I also have Daft Punk Radio, which is probably easier to find related songs. I found a lot of good dance, trance, house, and techno due to that. X3 Usually it's best to type in the full name if they have one, so I'd put "BoA Kwon" and you'd have better luck =^_^;= Though they may not have BoA on Pandora, either way. =^^;;=

    I'll have to look into those, then =^_^=

    Lol XD Aw... *pats* It's alright =3

    ...yeahhh...but they don't HAVE ANY OF MY FAVOURITE BANDS! TT^TT No Maki Goto (favourite singer), Alan (second favourite singer), Lee Jung Hyun (third favourite singer), AAA (favoruite band), or...M-Morning Musume...O.o Or they do and I can't remember...but they don't really have anybody I actually like...I mean, I KINDA like BoA, but not really...and they keep sending me to Lady Gaga (who I hate) when I listen to BoA...so I've given up on it. I mean, it's a good idea, but PUT IN MORE BANDS! TT^TT

    Hey! Hey! *poke* *poke* You should listen tooo Yumekui, HEART, Momo no Hanabira, Amaenbo, Kurage Nagareboshi, Kingyo Hanabi, aaaannnnddd Cherish. They're her more soft songs, they're all really pretty! ^ ^

    Yeahhh...I see...Kinda....O.o I don't know I just confused myself...>.>

    Lol XD No they don't look like that... They did however dress up in dresses for the Space Sonic PV which was awesome and adorable XD

    Lolol XD That'd be cool. XD

    Well, I started out with a station that's called "Hyde Radio" and I based it off Hyde originally, and eventually an Ellegarden song came up =3 It's easier to find good songs if you base them off your favorite artist. I was being somewhat open to whichever songs came up, and just thumbed down songs I didn't like. It's worked out okay so far.

    That's the only Ai Otsuka song I know so far, but yeah, I'd sing it too. X3

    Maybe, but it'd be really hard to do it from scratch. I know what I like, but I don't know anything about composition. I guess it could be done, it'd just take some work. =3 But it could be fun. =D

    Yeah, yeah, he went over to the states as an engineer...that's how I remember him 'Engineer man' so whenever I think of Ellegarden I think of guys covered in oil wearing goggles...O.o XD

    Maybe I should put them back on my list...XD

    I don't like Pandora Radio...but I didn't know it had Ellegarden on it...doesn't seem to have any of the bands I like though...>.>

    Oh! That Ai Otsuka song! I know the lyrics because I've been practicing singing it. If I were to try out for some kind of singing contest over in Japan, I'd probably sing that song...I really love a lot of Ai Otsuka's softer songs, they're so beautiful. <333

    Buuut...wouldn't you like for bands to create a song just for your anime? I just wonder what the chosen bands would come up with if I ever had an anime made of any of my manga...I wonder what the opening and ending of Deadman Wonderland will be...O.O I'm excited for that! >:D

    @Wakusei Aoshi:

    Lololol X3 No no, it's okay, I'm just being melodramatic, here. XDD

    Yeah, I think I would just be too headstrong to let them leave me out. That sucks if it is like that for some mangaka, but at the same time, they would feel really humbled that their work was even becoming an anime to begin with. If they're really not a part of the process, they might have someone pitching their work for them.

    They're pretty darn popular. XD But they broke up in 2008, which was way before I found out about them through Pandora Radio. =oAo;= They sing it about half and half. If you try out songs like "Jitterbug," "Kinsei," "Hana (and awesome one)," "Ash (the one I first heard on Pandora)," and "Migite (whihch was also the second ending theme to the I'll/CKBC {I'll Crazy Kouzu Basketball Club, I think it was...?})" then you might feel better about them.... And it's supposed to sound a little weird because he's go a Japanese accent and he's speaking English. XD;; He worked in the states for about a year or so, that's why a lot of their songs are in English. But check out those songs and you might like them =^_^=

    Again, in the new band, it's about half and half. The song I mentioned, though, is in English, but the sound is just too freakin sweet! XD There are less Japanese songs on th new album, but their first one, "Trash We'd Love" is about half and half. I reccommend listening to "Datenshi" from that album, as it's one of my favorites on that album. =3

    Well, those two songs I'm pretty darn sure aren't for anime, but I'd still have to ask permission to use them, and I'd really hope they'd oblidge =;u;= Another song that I thought was in an anime, because my friend use to give me her old music CDs, was Ai Otsuka's "Daisuki Da Yo." I found out it was just a single, which means it's up for grabs! XD I could probably use it as an ending theme X3 It's such a beautiful song, I sometimes cry when listening to it... =TTuTT=

    Gah, no, sorry, I was just...thinking about what you said in writing...XD Just repeating it to get it in my head....XD Sorry about that! ^ ^;

    Haha, you'd be directing it more! XD Well, I've been reading some manga and the authors are saying stuff like 'I was so happy to hear that there was an anime of my manga and I saw it on TV last night' like that...O.o Unless I'm thinking about it differently...

    Omigod!? Really!? I was just reading a manga and they were talking about Ellegarden...gah...how popular is this band? I don't particularly like them because they sing in English too much (or that's all the sing...can't remember, I've listened to a lot of their music)...But if it weren't for that I'd probably like them, they're a pretty good band (I just don't like the English language....TT^TT Sounds so weird...>.> I should get over that, though...XD)

    So he's in a new band...does he still sing in English? I should check that song out...but...but...I think I'm busy...(I'm listening to music and reading manga and I'm too lazy to open up a new tab and close my music and listen to that song...XD)

    Ahah, yeah, I used to do that before...thinking about what song will fit perfectly for my manga if it became an anime for the ending and opening and what-not...I did...until I realized that most of those songs were already for anime endings and openings...TT^TT And I stopped caring if my manga turns into an anime...>.> *sigh* Maybe I should be thinking about that again, because that was fun! ^ ^

    @Wakusei Aoshi:

    That's what I said, didn't I...? =O__O;= That people are marketing them because they know what makes the audience go for them... =o__o;= *feels somewhat ignored* ;orz

    I haven't heard about too many mangaka that are left out of everything. They do say that they're left out of some stuff. But those I've read about say they went to the voice recording and meet with the voice actors and whatnot. I personally would like to talk to everyone involved to make sure they're doing it right. =ono;=

    I found the PERFECT song that could be the opening theme for Full Curse!~<3 It's called Insomnia by The Hiatus (relatively new group, I guess you could say) from their new album Anomaly. X3 I love Takeshi Hosomi (lead singer) since he used to be the lead singer for Ellegarden before they broke up. =( But when I first heard it, like from the first 3 notes I loved that song. X3 And I thought as I was listening "This would be THE perfect opening theme for Full Curse!" Just like I thought Yui Horie's "Happy Birthday to You You" song would have been a perfect opening for Kitty Days X3

    Yeah...Maybe they just want to make the 'anybody can become famous' thing...which anybody really can because everybody has something that they're good at...But some of those idols...like if they were put into a competition, they're probably be the worst, but they're more famous...O.o

    But then there are famous people with really good voices...but the ones with bad voices seem to become famous quicker...O.o So strange how that works. It's probably all the advertising or something...Why do people like Miley Cyrus? I wonder...

    Omigosh, that sounds really cool! >:D That'd be cool to have, but I think the only thing that the mangaka actually does for their anime is give the companies coloured character designs of each character...O.o So that they know what colour they are...I find that kinda sad, though, because I thought they're be the directors or something, but most mangaka talk like they just turned on the TV and their anime was on, like they had absolutely nothing to do with it...>.>

    But that'd be really awesome! To have a mangaka sing the songs for their own anime! >:D If I find somebody who does that I will tell you! Because usually they're singers then they're mangaka, not at the same time because mangaka are REALLY busy (well, if you were for Shounen Jump...>.>)...but I don't think singers are that busy...Dunno...>.> But that'd be very awesome! >:D

    Lol XD I don't watch much TV nowadays, but I like Phineas and Ferb. XD

    I'm not really sure if I can explain it, but there's a reason they don't let the really amazing ones get as popular... or something... I think it's just that it's easier to create a generic star because everyone wants to be famous.

    It's all about the image and how well their managers take advantage of their good points X3 It's not as much about talent nowadays as creating an idol.

    I would like to sing one or two songs for my own anime if I get that far~<3 It'd be awesome and I'd feel nervous but really happy once something like that came together~<33

    ...O.o I wouldn't know...I don't watch the Disney Channel (haha, more like refuse to watch it...XD).

    I'm okay with teen singers, but they actually have to sound GOOD. Like that one Canadian girl who sang the national anthem of Canada at the Olympics. She's a teenager and her voice is AMAZING. So they should let those kinds of people get more popular.

    The strange thing about these people are that they can't sing OR act...sooo...how did they get popular?...I really wonder...O.o

    Well, seiyuu's are required to sing even if they're terrible, but there are a lot of good ones (like Aya Hirano, Chihara Minori, and Nana Mizuki)...Even if they're required to sing...what is their purpose to be on there...They have to sing a bit, act a bit, and have a pretty face? I don't get it...>.>

    I like auto-tuning for comedy purposes, like the Gregory Brothers that auto-tune news reports to make them musical XD

    I guess I don't really have an opinion on whether or not I like resampled and retweaked singing voices. If I like the song, I like it. There are some real singers I might not agree with =o.O=

    It's not just Nickelodeon. It's also the disney channel, like with Demi Lovato and Vanessa Hudgens. I actually like Demi Lovato's voice, though, which is somewhat rare for me, since I don't usually go for most of the teen singers. I think it's become a requirement for teen actors to do som singing... kinda like an exam they have to pass. They figure, "If you can sing just a little bit, you can boost your popularity." And if they make stars, they make money. So they don't really care that we're tired of all the teen singers or not. They're just trying to appeal to those who will buy into it and send them tons of cash. XD;;

    AHG. I KNOW! Disney and Nick are making too many teen singers. They all autotune their voices so they don't sound bad. ;A; I DON'T LIKE IT! I want people to sing for real. ;~; I don't like that autotuning electronic stuff. Uuugh. It's all fake these days. ;A;
