So you're Russian? You're right, it's not so far. I can't speak Russian, but I think every one in my country that has more than 30 years knows :)).
No, I'm Belarusian, although Russian language is widely spoken here (sometimes disturbingly more often than Belarusian, actually

). As to that song, I can't understand the lyrics anyway (but it's suspectable that "numanuma-yay" doesn't make much sense

), but I listen to it from time to time because I like the refrain's cheerfulness.
I think Angela made me like j-pop; Shangri-La, Alternative and Aoi Haru are really good songs.
Alternative is my fave among their songs.

How can the vocalist even sing that fast? I also like Shangri-la, Spiral, Soukyuu and Aoi Haru a lot.

I discovered AliPro through Noir (and for some time thought that it was a Yuki song

), and like you, I first heard Akiko in Umineko anime OP (although while I loved it, I didn't research Akiko's other works until hearing Byakumu no Mayu which became my fave

).
As to Kotoko, I don't listen to everything, but there are many songs I like. I recommend Agony and her duet with Kaori Utatsuki, Double Harmonize Shock. And of course, Light My Fire which has Supercell involved and is very good.
Also, I heard that even the ex-Megadeth guitarist wrote a song for Kotoko, although I haven't heard it yet.
Nick, what song are you talking about?
this one, of course. Around 2004, it was a challenge to hide from this song, since every kettle was playing it.
