I'm very unaware of Japanese shoegaze unfortunately. I've heard about that one Heaven in Her Arms album recently, but that's about it.

oh, upon further research, I guess it isn't shoegaze after all lol

oh yeah, I've heard of Yellow Loveless. I feel like there's another world I haven't yet uncovered now.

it kind of seems like it doesn't get a fair shot for the most part. like people have some sort of pre-conceived abhorrence to it. esp the pop side. I feel like the rock side is kind of overlooked, other than Midori maybe.

idk for sure, but I would bet it's worse elsewhere :p

I've actually been connecting with another RYM user in the area and am planning on going to a concert with her next month, her username is whereamichinaski.

Look her up, you have some definite overlap in your tastes!

still dreaming of u always...
