So what? Live & die.

I've just gotta get this out there:

I've been listening to VK/J-Rock/J-Metal for a damn long time, for a good chunk of my adult life, if not all of it. I incorporate other genres, and I listen to a lot of heavy and death metal from around the world. It's my favorite genre, it always has been, and as I've gotten older, my song preferences have gotten heavier and more brutal. There are a lot of talented guitarists out there, too many to name here, but one that always stands out to me is Sena (JILUKA). Even if I've heard the same song 50 times, I am always blown away by his talent, his raw energy, and the ability to go so heavy during his solos. At first glance, you might not think much of him - possibly as a quiet rhythm guitarist, or a newbie who seems like he'd have trouble keeping up with the melody. But the chords that come from this man blow me away, and the sheer ability to control the musical bridge to a song, and to do it in a group of four, with no help from a rhythm guitarist... he will always be among those I name when I'm asked about my favorites.
