こんいちわ,
Maikeru to moushimasu! I have just signed up to Canta-per-Me forums because I practically worship Yuki Kajiura, Kalafina and FictionJunction, though I have been stalking this site for at least two years XD. My favourite songs are Kieko's version of Synchronicity, Magia and nowhere, and my favourite vocalist is probably Keiko, but I love them all.
I hope to study Japanese alongside my degree when I hopefully go to uni next year, and plan to do a year abroad in Japan at a Japanese uni! I love Japan... and Japanese music is 1,000,000x better than the drivel that comes out of the UK (where I come from) and the US (perhaps excepting Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's PomPomPom, which scares me slightly).
Anyway, erm... はじめまして
Michael
 
Welcome to canta-per-me.net Maikeru, so you haven't visited Japan yet?

Be sure to meet the locals when you do:

That's a Japanese Serow or 日本羚羊 "Nihon Kamoshika", a goat-antelope that I saw and photographed in the wild on my last trip to Japan. It nearly became extinct in the 1950's. I just thought that was an interesting symbol of Japan to greet you with.

Aww its so cute. Thanks for that haha :) I'm quite a Green person politically so it always makes me sad to hear of animals in such danger, but happy it survived.
 
lol Kuga

welcome to CPM, Maikeru! All the luck for getting into uni and being able to study Japanese. It's my first year at uni and I've been able to take/am taking Japanese 101 and 102 so far

and shhh British music is good too ok (tho most of what I listen to is older stuff)

(p.s. konnichiwa is spelled こんにちは not こんいちわ (confusing, I know) : )
 
Thankyou you two! I always forgot that about kon'nichiwa haha. Is Japanese your main degree subject? Btw can anyone tell me how to set a profile picture? I can't find out how :L
 
@Maikeru your avatar settings should appear between "alert settings" and "password" when you move the mouse over your username above the search box (and it should appear as "Avatar" if you click on your username above the search box). Sometimes it takes a few days to appear.

no, I'm majoring in history, but lately I've been considering double majoring in Japanese as well since I plan on taking it throughout college anyway
 
Thank you all, and Kugayama for the technical assistance! I like history too aki, especially the political stuff. Good luck with your studies too.
 
Hello Martin and HimeWakana as well! Yes another UK member haha. It is amazing Yuki Kajiura has such a global fanbase :)
 
More UK people? Excellent. Welcome to the forum!

Good luck with your studies, University is a fun experience for sure :goodjob:.

Having seen PonPonPon live, it doesn't get any less weird from there. She's done better stuff, though.

There is decent music coming from both the UK and the US, it's just generally not the kind of stuff you'll see without going looking for it.

Hello Seasonreaper! We Brits should plan a coup d'etat of the forums haha. I haven't really seen any other of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu's songs, so I'll have to have a look. Thanks :)
 
Welcome! I am Liana and from the US, and it is true about Japanese music. I mainly listen to them, although have found some bands here and from the UK that I like actually. heh But not very many are as great as Yuki Kajiura. I love Kalafina and FJ. Have seen Kala twice, Anime Boston and Anime Central, both times awesome. Hope you like it here and if you have any questions feel free to ask!
