kelli3 Â Â 10 #3 Posted April 14, 2014 Nope, that's mainly why i'm asking here, i live in Sheffield but i love asian (japanese/korean etc.) culture, and having such a unusual interest it's hard to find people who share it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
megalithic   10 #4 Posted April 15, 2014 Very niche i'd guess, but there's a variety of people here second to none as forums go, so who knows.  My only experience of such things was watching the original "The Ring". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Negatron99 Â Â 10 #5 Posted November 16, 2014 Hello... Â I'm a fan of the culture... my current musical interests stems from "Vocaloid" and anime... but it ranges all over the Japanese culture in general... leading me to going on a course to learn the language (don't expect much!). Â I agree it's very hard to find people to share it, but Sheffield has a very varied culture possibly thanks to the Universities.

Â i usually watch dramas, and the music i like is Arashi, Utada Hikaru, X Japan (one of my favourite bands) DBSK (korean band but do Japanese songs as well as Korean) Â I find alot of asians (east asians) seem to stick to their own, i've never been to universary though.

Negatron99   10 #7 Posted November 19, 2014 There are a lot of romantic anime... lots and lots of them. Depends what kinda you're after.  For a legitimate site, using that genre try  http://www.crunchyroll.com/videos/anime/genres/romance  Some of them mix comedy, fantasy, sports... (cough) ecchi... it's really looking around.  Vocaloid versions of songs are not quite the same as actual songs made for vocaloids. Try Hatsune Miku as a most famous Vocaloid. or GUMI, Luka, the Kagamine's.  But it's just great to hear from someone else for a change.  One thing that doesn't help is some strange inherent generalisation ... ask about Japanese culture and the response is generally... I find... the first oriental thing the person can think of (normally Chinese). Or... it's flat out racist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
