Melodic Renaissance is for all melodic rock lovers!

About Me

Hello everyone!
I'm a melodic rock freak in Japan, and a editor of fanzine "MELODIC RENAISSANCE". The mag deals with melodic rock in ALL THE WORLD and includes reviews and interviews of melodic rock bands/artisits (The mag is written in Japanese). I'm always looking for hot melodic rock bands/artists to introduce to Japanese rock fans. If you're interested in me & the mag, feel free to send message! Promotion is always welcome. I'll review your demos & CDs.
I hope that melodic rock rules the world someday ;-)
Stay Melodic!
