I spent my childhood singing almost all anime's OST (dubbed in Indonesian) together my friends.
During Junior High, I met a genius, named Oktoviano Gandhi (currently he's studying Physics at Oxford) and some otakus: William Kusuma, Secilia Erwanda, Venni Astria and the one who made me involved more with all the anime's collections, Ellyana Wijaya
I learnt some of Japanese Version of those OSTs by playing them over and over again with my Nokia 6600. I was kind of proud of having this phone.
You know, in my era cellphones are not for all kids (except who studied at 'high class' schools such as Xaverius) *berasa tua
Short story, I'm mostly interested in J-Pop, some bands have a big impact in my music life (huahaha), like Ajikan (Asian Kung Fu Generation) who sings Haruka Kanata (Naruto), Rewrite (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Orange Range: Viva Rock (Naruto), Asterisk (Bleach)
Flow: Go!!! (Naruto)
And I started to do more researches about them and hence made me an J-Pop otaku (some people called me that, but I know I'm not really an otaku
You should listen to their songs, I mean it
For an example, songs from Orange Range
Kizuna, this songs tell about bond (kizuna), with friends and family, MV was made at a small village.
Music is a combination of modern instrument with a Japanese traditional instrument (played by Hokama Hiroki, the mid-vocal Vocalist)
Hana, SP Thanx, Rakuyou also give the same vibes, soft and melancholic songs
That's about one aspect of the musical influences in my life
-end-
ps: 2 paragraphs of nostalgia (you can skip this part if you want)
Sometimes these songs remind me of warm feeling at my childhood, when I received my 6600 (which then lost due to robbery), moments of 'suntik lagu2 anime', kirim foto lewat bluetooth, playing bomber arena with my classmates via bluetooth, the moment I was (we were) astonished by anime, manga, japanese musics, bonds with my classmates, especially Aksel at Xaverius 1
Of course not everytime I hear these songs :P
I looked back at my past, I lived a funny, good, sad, naive, exciting life. I apologized to people I'd let down, and I've been moving on till now.
Thank you to people I met years ago, you taught me many things
Cherish your memories, keep calm and listen to J-Pop songs haha
