Music Preferences

Anything. Generally prefers soothing, catchy, fun, or songs that 'tells stories' to you.
No annoying songs please.

Favourite bands / singers: Kalafina, Suara, Kotoko

Loves good depth for vocals and a soundstage that is laid out in front of you when you close your eyes. Soundstage with vocals above forehead is considered unacceptable, and overall stage should not be too high.
