1. Draw the Emotional / Yuyoyuppe / DJ' Tekina//Something (yuppe arranges all for DtE circle and dj is his remix work)
2. Foreground Eclipse
3. Undead Corporation
4. Utsu -P (makes me the most ironic person alive. Utsu means depression and I am most happiest when listening to him)
5. Hmm....Maybe Avtechno! or Muryoku -P

I listen pretty much only to vocaloid and touhou arranges. But I don't listen to the cutesy vocaloid ones a lot. All nice and heavy screamo. Vocareamo is the best. Miku, Rin, Gumi, and Luka's death growls constantly make me jizz myself (I seriously get a shiver down my spine from Despair)
