Poll Results & New February Poll

Finally, the results are in! The readers have voted, letting the world (well, just me, really) know what genre of music they (meaning you) would like to see more of on the blog.

The biggest vote was for keeping things "as-is," meaning just allowing me to go about my usual totally random path, letting my whim be my guide. While I'm very happy to see that result (I mean, that should be part of why you're reading the blog regularly in the first place, right?) I'd still prefer to at least try and find things that people want to read.

With that out of the way, the next most popular choice was a tie between indie rock and vis-kei. This is also a pretty nice result. Since we know that vis-kei is pretty popular right now, it's good to see that old-fashioned indie rock is just as important to readers.

After that, it was electro, then punk. I know I haven't been really heavy on the punk coverage, so I'll see what I can do about that. Everything else came in distant places after that, with pop being dead last. Again, not entirely surprising since I don't think most readers are coming here looking for coverage of the latest idols. (^_^)

Overall, the results fell just about where I was expecting, and secretly hoping. It's good to know I'm hitting all the right notes with my readers, or that I'm at least getting close to the mark. As always, I'd love to hear anything you have to say about what you see here.

Finally, the new February poll is up! This month I'm looking to hear about what other kinds of posts you want to see on the blog. Do you like the calendar posts? Want more album reviews? Single reviews? Like to hear about new PVs? How about just any old music video that's cool in some way? General music news? Or should I just skip all that and focus only on the band profiles? Again, you can only pick just one, so choose wisely. You have until March 1st.

Thanks for taking the time to help make ZB's A-Z a little bit better for everyone. Make sure to pass the word on to anyone else you know that's into the Japanese scene. Thanks!
