How does putting a person's stuff up on the forums make the situation any better? Seriously? I get that you are very passionate and that you have morals and ideals about eurobeat. That's great and I can appreciate it, but you've really gone and alienated a good group of people both here and Initial D World who want nothing to do with you. People feel like you snoop for the musicians and that can be perceived as being 'The Eurobeat Police'. I mean if you look at the history of what you post, it's not really about the music. There's a good amount of judgment from you about other fans WHETHER or not you feel you are doing it.
You go back and forth with both forum communities and you get nowhere, but people angry at you. Why keep pushing topics that people don't want to fight you on? Take Initial D World for example. They will always freely share music on there. That's how it has been since its creation. YOU, ME, NOR ANYONE else can stop that. It's not our place to.
I do agree with Lebon and others that you have certainly made the forums more toxic. And the funny thing is, I don't think you realize that you are doing that.
I won't get into it with you because it's not worth my time, but if you want to survive on these forums, it might behoove you not to go after people.
No regret.
Yes, we are different. I have own targets and look at Eurobeat music, own way to realize my passion.
I don't look for enemies.
But really paranoia what you can read above, that Cy-Ro is somehow now a victim of artist and my conspiracy !
Sometimes I have worse day or poorly assemble english statements with much less important things or judgements. Ok.
Anyway first I must appreciate what I gained personally and found out, being seriously the Eurobeat listener since just a couple years!
I have these all stuffs, satisfaction, respect, informations thanks to the artists and my friendship, friendly approach, not thanks to regular talking with anonymous forum nicknames just for fun.
Of course I speak with some fans privately as well.
Well, if anybody wants to express antipathy to me due to the forum or Facebook discussions and doesn't like my public posts deliberately,
I know such persons, here psychiatrist is necesarry. Be the fan of mine or music? Madness.
Two forums, two communities, Facebook groups, but say also about, if not hundreds, so about dozens of fans, who really don't care about neither communities, because only music and artists are absolutely the main things for them.
Japanese fans don't argue and teach artists, it's not mentality we can meet here, on the internet, for addition so various in every each place.
The Eurobeat world would be better a little too, if fans would prefer the authority of musicians not themselves.
Me? I know what I would like to know and what I'm interested. No more ! Honestly !
But I told this already. It's weird to hear stories about Eurobeat, also the oldest, from guys who never been in Italy, in Japan, never met some important producer, and barely 10 years ago were 20 years old. I browsed forums, I read a lot.
Treat serious artists in all matters.
