My father thinks it's just a phase and that I'll get out of my teenage someday HA !
My mother doesn't like japanese voices, but she's okay with it~

6) On a scale of 1 to 5, do you think visual kei is successful in America? (Consider: Concerts, Jrock merchandise sale, musical covers on the internet, knowledge and acceptance of visual kei)
I think it's successful even though we don't have a lot of concert yet... But we have more and more so I guess that in a few years, we'll have as many shows here as they have in Europe =3 so I'd say 3.5

7) Has your way of thinking changed in any way after listening to visual kei?
[X] Views on American/other music
[X] How you dress
[X] The friends you choose to have  (I've to check this since... My life kinda revolves around VK and japanese music, so I think it's kinda hard to make friends who aren't into this...)
[] How you act towards your parents
[X] How you act towards your peers

8) Have you limited the music you listen to visual kei? If no, list what else you listen to.
No, I listen to old school VK and Jrock, yeah, but other than this, I LOOOVE industrial music, a bit of metal and electro too , some pop and classical... Well... I listen to everything, basically, but Reggaeton.  I. HATE. IT.  It makes me aggressive.

9) Do you watch anime? If yes, how often?
Not really, when I'm forced to... LOL.  Well... I like old anime... SAN JUUSHI T___T <3<3

10) On a scale of 1 to 5, how much do you think the fact that it’s Japanese has to do with its popularity?
I don't fucking know... I don't really care about it, I think we get used to it, even though we don't understand, but I know some people just don,t get how we can get used to something we don't understand.... I'd give 3, then...

13) If not, does interest in visual kei have to do with this?
I guess... XD;;


14) Do you get classified as “goth” or “emo”? Does this bother you?
[ ] I do get classified this way, and I care.
[X] I do get classified this way, but I do not care. (I've been shouted "emo" at, once... I laughed)
