About shimatani87
I'm Zach, twenty-three, recently relocated to Saint Louis to finish up a M.A. in media literacy. Slightly obsessed with music, especially that coming from Japan. It's a bit strange, yes, but it's given me perspectives on music as a whole that I honestly believe I wouldn't have had I kept listening to exclusively American and Westen artists.

If you'd like to get in touch with me, the best way is either by e-mail (shimatani87@hotmail.com) or AIM (shimatani87). Do let me know if something I've written has intrigued, excited, confused, or disgusted you -- criticism, whether it's constructive or simply venting, is always welcome. I'm not perfect, and I know it.

~Zach
