Sounds good man, I've done quite a bit of reading on psychology myself. Perhaps you could let me know what they teach you in psychology education, as I've only been reading what I've picked up myself. Are you fluent in Japanese?
I work at a local book store, yeah, shows you how dedicated I was at school, heh. But I do get to find quite a lot of good philosophy and science books, manga, that sort of thing. It's comfortable, I guess, but not end of the rainbow prospects, hardly.
I don't mean to sound like I care what's classified 'mainstream' by general society, I actually prefer music that isn't mainstream, because it usually has a quality which keeps it underground.
I certainly don't care about our music 'success', I don't deem success from money or fame, but the satisfaction in the music. It's about the music, and if I was going into music with anything else as priority, I shouldn't bother.
Hey no problem man, take a look at their other songs if you like.
They were part of the first wave of crossover, mixing it with punk influences. Apparently the speed is part of the reason they never went mainstream, but I think it makes them actually worth listening to. Well, that's me anyway, haha.
Main influences are Cryptic Slaughter and Wehrmacht, both hardcore punk/crossover bands active around 1986-87, they were underground, so I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't know them.

I actually uploaded those videos, so you can check out their whole albums if you like man.
I'll keep you updated with any music I can put on the internet when we get to that point, if you like man.
If you like hardcore punk, I could recommend some of my influences, if you want.
