Konnichiwa, hajimemashite. Watashi no namae wa Hero desu. Watashi wa vijuaru kei desu. Hai.

Hello, nice to meet you all. My name is Hero (actually no, it's Mataki hah). And I'm a Visual Kei...yes. I know my Visual Kei considering I'm Japanese, lived in Japan 5 out of the 16 years of my life (and I visit every summer to live with my Grandparents), and I'm in a Visual Kei band called Obelisk. I'm not some "I know more then you" guy but I am bluntly honest and I don't care if you get pissed at me. I've lived through my own critics, my own bashers, bloggers, no goods, and naive people...I can live through the virtual ones as well. I won't sugar-coat things just to please all of you- if you're going to get an internet account where people can comment and give critique, you better man up (grow up) and learn to accept it. I'm NOT going to be someone that goes around LOOKING for trouble though...if there is something nice about someone's work I WILL point it out and I will also point out the flaws.

I can't stand posers, wannabes, bashers, homophobes, racist/sexist bastards, and know-it-alls. If you have something to say about anything I am very wise in, you better have some facts with it.

I'm friends with tons of J-rock fanatics, Emos and punks. And if I find out that someone dares to bash them, I will come at you, with or without them asking me to, cause that's just me and I don't take shit off of you internet people. I am a moderate shopper of Hot Topic for band shirts but I make my own clothing and shop more online.

I'm now a JUNIOR (grade 11 or second year of high school), fuck yeas. And I'm head in my class in GPA. Asians, we're SO smart ;p.

I'm Japanese but technically Japanese-American (hah). I was born in Tokyo and my grandparents live in between Harajuku and Shibuya in Tokyo. My parents live in Lima, Ohio back in the USA. I go back and forth over the seasons from USA to Japan (School years so far have been in America and Summer in Japan...I like it this way). Cause of the global economy's status, I don't know when I'll be able to go back to Japan (but mom and dad have been saying this for awhile, Gramma thinks they don't need to worry for she'll pay. I don't wanna get in between all that ).

If I spark your interest, talk to me. If I come off as a smartass or a jerk, I apologize for I am one (at least I'm aware of it). As long as you talk nice to me, I will talk nice to you ^ - ^. Ja Ne Mata.
