I know, all you DBSK/TVXQ will disagree. So aside from picking who's your favorite member, tell us all what specific talent do you like about DBSK.^_^

sioniann I think what made me get really interested in DBSK was the fact that they're really talented a cappella singers. I'm a singer myself and I've been involved in a cappella groups since high school so I know how challenging that kind of music can be and it's just...

Is anyone familiar with Jdrama? Many of these series run for a season, or eight to twelve episodes, and have been fansubbed and made available online for Western viewers. They range from afternoon-special soap opera plotlines,...

sioniann Oh, I have really been wanting to see the Death Note movies! Did you follow the manga of that series? I've been wondering how the film differs from the manga, but have been wary to read too many discussions about it -- I don't want to spoil myself. ;) I'll...

This discussion is for people who listen to Japanese rock or "Jrock" (Japanese pop may have its separate discussion). If you don't like Jrock or the mere idea of it, this is not the place for you. Being an anime fan way back,...

sioniann I first got into Japanese popular music through anime soundtracks as well, specifically the Prince of Tennis soundtrack. For a while I kind of just stuck with those few songs, and branched out a little to check out what other music those artists had done....

As for me, I'd prefer reading a manga with a not-so-good artwork but has an unique idea and story. How bout u?

sioniann I definitely am more willing to forgive bad artwork if the storyline is good. However, since the cover art and general art style is what I see first, I'm definitely drawn to stories with nice art from the get go, unless I get a really good recommendation. I...

sioniann Woah, seriously? That's awesome! Futurama is one of my favorite shows and I was so upset when they cancelled it. I'm really excited to see it brought back! I'm sure they still have a lot of good material to work with :D

sioniann I download all of my anime. I don't watch much tv, and the shows I watch are usually downloaded as well since boxed dvd sets are sort of out of budget. In the case of anime, a lot of the "official" box sets have different subtitles from what I'm used to and...

sioniann I've heard Gokusen is very good, but I haven't seen anything about Kimi wa peto at all. What is it about? The only dramas I've watched are Ace wo Nerae (about girls' tennis) and Nobuta wo Produce. That's been my impression too. The shows are very easy to...

sioniann At the moment, I really enjoy the style of Obata Takeshi (the creator of Hikaru no Go and Death Note), but my heart belongs to Konomi Takeshi first and foremost for Prince of Tennis. :)

sioniann I love Yukimura. I think he far and away best fills the role of "captain" to his team. Even when he's struggling with his illness, he still represents this guiding light for his teammates, a force that brings them together and inspires them. I think in some...

sioniann Midoriyama! I don't think I've ever met a Midoriyama fan. I really wish we'd had more of an opportunity to see their dynamic in the series. I mean, on a shallow level, they were all really good-looking characters, but I also think they brought a unique element...
