about pages are kind of hard to put together since i never am able to write one that i like, and if i manage to write one that i think is ok i eventually get sick of it lol. but here's a quick try: i'm melo, i'm 18, and i'm really passionate about music, things related to music, various fandom interests, and (mostly) dead has-been websites. i'm not sure what else i could say that would be enough but i guess looking around at this site and maybe my accounts on other sites would help
as part of my interest in dead has-been websites, most of the sites i'm active on are either that or niche stuff. if you want to talk to me online often i'm most active on mastodon and dreamwidth. other sites i check often are under this paragraph lol. if none of these are accessible to you and you need to contact me for some reason send me an email at melodicake@disroot.org but i might take a while to get back to you
music is kind of a broad interest but it's definitely a huge part of me and i never shut up about it so instead of a general favorites section i'm making it a favorite music section. i do have favorites from other media but not nearly as many as i have for music and i don't think it justifies its own section of categories just for like, a handful of other stuff, lol. i just put them in their own page i guess so that's here.
i feel a little weird about separating my favorite artists by their countries but i have so many favorites that putting them all together would be extremely long and i like to sort things.
favorite misc bands: rilo kiley, megumi acorda, asobi seksu, ringo deathstarr, bright eyes, katie ellen
favorite misc solo artists: might be playing fast and loose with "solo artist" here but m.i.a., sea oleena, indigo de souza, nicole dollanganger, cake bake betty, kimya dawson
favorite j-pop idol groups: oh god this is so hard now. i don't know how to put this in an organized way so i'll just write it out: my main fandoms are hello! project and 48g and i'm a casual fan of sakamichi/dearstage/codomomental. my ult group is beyooooonds who i love very very much but i also love akb48 with all of my heart. my other favorite groups are juice=juice, tsubaki factory, nogizaka46, dempagumi.inc, and niziu.
favorite j-pop idols: dambara ruru (juice=juice) and yamauchi mizuki (akb48) are my kami-oshis. there's no equivalent term for semiult in jpop fandom (except maybe ni-oshi????) so my semiults are shen mengyao (snh48) and nemoto nagi (dempagumi.inc), though they've both since graduated. i'm aware smy and snh48 are chinese but since they're former 48g i count them anyway. a full list of my oshis can be found here, and pictures of said kamioshis and semiults are in the 100x100 icons underneath because i love them.
favorite japanese bands: this changes constantly but the ones pretty much set in stone are kinoko teikoku, mass of the fermenting dregs, spool, for tracy hyde, and bokutachi no iru tokoro.
favorite japanese solo artists: tamura meimi, ichiko aoba, kawase tomoko, itano tomomi.
favorite k-pop groups: aespa, stayc, itzy, ive, le sserafim, newjeans, twice, f(x), snsd, and 2ne1. i'm not as into k-pop as i am j-pop but i follow groups from a distance for the most part. oh also a full list of my biases is over here
favorite korean solo artists: sunmi, chungha, lee jung hyun, dj hyo
favorite music genres: just tacking this on at the end. it's kind of all over the place and i generally like anything but i really love pop punk, shoegaze, dream pop, folk, and edm. and especially anything really loud and abrasive.
