I don't like European or American metal composers.
Game music is always better (-something like this-because it doesn't have lyrics >_> I don't like voice in ze music ... game music that is).
Others ... well... symphonic metal ... kind of (this ... Touhou....). Or just symphonic ( Touhou again...).
I like old songs (like 80s and 90s and early 10s).
I like chorus as well (like for example, my fav. songs remain this and this ... yah ... Touhou related ...).

Well ... genre ... I'm not after that. I'm after rhythm in general. Lyrics or no lyrics ... I only care about rhythm. So I'm very picky with everything.

My current favorite is Chaoz Fantasy (most of you already know the song)... or EnV's remix of it?? I really can't decide ... nvm, since they share the same title and rhythm I like it. (of course ... I can't imagine overly loving it without an anime reference *looking in the back giving out a side smile*... because of that awesome AMV of Kara no Kyoukai featuring Asagami Fujino... THAT ... has been recently deleted... orz wish I had a download link for the vids).
