There are lots of people to look up to. I look up to a variety of people from different professions, but for me specifically, musicians have the most impact. I have been a hardcore fan of Japanese rock and metal for quite some time. My family knows that very well and they don't really comprehend my interest in jrockers. First of all, they don't even like rock music or any forms of extreme music. Secondly, my tastes in art are very different from my family so I'm considered a weird individual. Even though our opinions may clash, I still respect them. Here's a select list of Japanese rock and metal musicians that I find very influential to me and reasons why I respect them.
