Wherever they play, i just PRAY they DONT play any damn anime conventions......that would just even further the stereotype that all Japanese music fans are idiotic, anime-loving fangirls/boys that only listen to them because they are japanese and dont even care about the music.
And I would think that Japanese music has such a big following in Germany is since metal music is already popular over there and so is that gender-bending type of visual style (or so ive been told)
