Intro~
Welcome to Radiant Dawn, (yes it’s named after the Fire Emblem game. D8 I’m so clever…) my Japanese music review blog! This is a place where I spill my heart and mind out to to my best to describe songs, down to the minor details! Only music released in Japan will be featured on this blog, even if the artist IS Japanese and releases something in English, which is meant for America. Sorry. /:
The ratings~
NOTE: There won’t be a review with no stars since… that’s just dumb.
ONE Star: Oh lord… HORRENDOUS release. PS: Get it out of my sight before I do bad things to it. D:
TWO Stars: Could use some SERIOUS work. Pretty bad release.
THREE Stars: Okay I guess… still could use some work, but it’s alright.
FOUR Stars: Pretty good! I really liked it.
FIVE Stars: …OMG. I’M IN LOVE WITH IT. -explodes all over the floor-
NOTE: A rating with a 
star could be a few things. A half star could be a good or bad thing, depending on my feelings towards the release. Even the slightest detail could determine whether it goes up or down in rating.
About me~
I suppose since it IS an about page, I should tell you all a little about me.
Hi! I’m Ethan, a 15 16 year old MALE, attending my sophomore JUNIOR WOOO YEAH year in high school. (lulz ya im so young.) My hobbies are, hanging out with my friends, video games, movies, and of course: reviewing! I’ve been asked what my favourite ~genre~ of music is a lot, and all I have to say is, if they can sing, they’re my favourite. Of course, that sounds contradicting, but whatever. I contradict myself a lot as it is.
LIKES~
Music
People
Rain (the weather D<)
Animals
YOU. o__o
DISLIKES~
Conceited people
Egotistical people
People who think they’re always right
Spiders
Hot, humid weather
Bad music
YOUR MAMA. o__o
Random~
Whoring: school food punishment <3
Playing: Baten Kaitos
Watching: Community and CSI
Random: I need sleep ;__;
If you wanna contact me about a problem, question, or just to talk, my MSN e-mail is xxradia@hotmail.com.
Or you can contact me at:

HAPPY READING!
PS: Add these nifty buttons that my friend Lex made! They’re amayzun!

Because I’m not too bright, I read “This blog is based on BIASED opinions”. -_-;
I decided to stop by because Megumi called your site “sexy”, which leaves me to say:
Sexy stuff.

Hey thanks for the comment,
I might be reviewing more English artists too in the future, so it will be abit like Lost Wing, bit of mix, hehe
I wanted to try something new, reviewing English language artists is quite different from J-Pop!
Oh and I just realised you linked me!
So I’ll return the favour!

I deleted it. x:
By: radiantdawn on February 1, 2009

yeah but why lol
By: omaluu on February 1, 2009
at 9:55 pm
It was mainly because of the “auto-translater” thing they added. It was annoying to keep up with and in order for it to correctly add a listen to a “foreign” artist, I had to change their name (in this case) to kanji, instead of romaji.
By: radiantdawn on February 2, 2009

well no need to completely delete it lol
