Sarah, it's okay! You're not male, you're allowed to look at pictures of scantily-clad underage asian girls!
(I feel slightly out of place commenting here, because I quite frankly have no idea what half these sentences are about, BUT I SHALL FORGE ONWARDS. Also Marcus is German, not Japanese, but WHATEVA.)
If I had looked at MoMusu before listening to them, I don't think I ever would have anticipated liking them in the least. I've seen a few interviews - mostly with you and Julie - and while I enjoy their music, sometimes they come across as ... well, silly little girls. I like listening to their music when I'm in a certain mood, but sometimes reading translations of their interviews annoys me, because I'm like, "*I* could have said that! You're no divinely-inspired artist, you can't even sing! You don't play your instuments! Get off the stage!" But that's only in my most abusive moods (and I feel like that about some of my lesser metalheads: you're just idiots with guitars, there's no substance in your lyrics, please stop sucking already).
As far as Japanese music goes (and I am generalizing horribly here) from the stuff I've heard I'd have to say that I enjoy male music more. With the notable exception of Gackt, because his voice is strange and he himself is simply nuts, I find that I can't listen to male music consistently. Like, with Arc-en-Ciel or Asian Kung-Fu Generation, I can only listen to three or four of their songs, because I find that their styles are dull and their VOICES are frustrating and mundane. (I suppose Aucifer and Orange Range are exceptions as well, but even then I only have about eight songs from each).
I DON'T HAVE TO DO A PRESENTATION. I WIN THE WORLD.
