Well, this is easy. I hadn't really seen much Japanese music that wasn't pop or techno, and so I was intrigued. I watched a video of Doll on Youtube. I liked the song but it didn't grab me straight away. The cuteness of the girls did and that held me until the song got a tight grip on my heart. I was addicted.
Their songs are great. They all have so much energy and honesty I think. It's not completely manufactured rubbish. Like 'Spaceranger' always really inspires me. I feel like I can do allsorts when I listen to that song.
As I started following the band, finding their songs, videos and their blog, their personalities then started to shine through. They are fantastic. All such nice and talented people and they are just there to have fun. They want to make and play music and that's it. I think of them as real people with lives and not just members of a band.
They earn a huge amount of respect for making their own music, playing their instruments and it's fun to watch them grow and improve. They are just so mesmirizing, in every aspect. Their last few singles havent; grabbed me as much as the others (Beauteen should have been the A-side track) but I support them stronger than ever because they are great people doing something that should be nurtured.
