Part 3

101) If you ever say the words "pistachio", and/or "vanilla" and they burst into laughter.

102) If they've ever been singing so loud you have to go in their room, ask what they are singing, and ask them what it's about and they go

"Uh, uhmm...yeah...ummm....uhhh....a fnny....uhmm....song?....by....uhhh....Gackt.... yeah....errrr" so you walk out before they tell you:

A) What song it is

B) What it's about

103) If you ever find your children bouncing around the house doing random dance moves and trying to sing in a really deep man voice (its just because of Gackt)

104) If your child screams phrases such as "sexual disgrace", "die for me...you cannot save it" or "the violence rapes me", please DO NOT be alarmed. They're just trying to sing along to some Gazette songs.

105) Parents, don't be disturbed when your kids start talking about all the reasons SKIN was late performing *wink*wink*

106) Don't think your kids turned gothic if they start dressing lolita.

107) Don't think they weren't looking in a mirror when putting makeup on if theirs is bright and excessive. Its a look, not a crime.

108) Don't question why your kids are willing to sit outside in the cold for up to 20 hours to see a concert.

109) Don't underestimate your kids when they're listening to their new music...things can get scary if they are disturbed.

110) Don't be afraid if your child rants over and over again how disappointing it is that a new song is at the end of a stupid movie, then plots to record it. It shows loyalty. (This refers to Chizuru by the Gazette)

111) If the phrase "like white on rice" becomes "like Yoshiki on a rice monster"- don't question it.

112) If you ask why they are giggling hysterically and they say "Miyahhhvii!!" just walk away like you understand- don't ask because you probably won't.

113) If they suddenly become a ball of laughter upon seeing a stuffed swan/goose- please don't ask- you WILL be scarred for life.

114) If their normally dark wardrobe suddenly becomes a riot of color, don't question it, just be glad that they're finally wearing colors!

115) If the phrase "champagne and caviar" causes fits of laughter, they're ok- trust me.

116) Consider it simple politeness if every time they leave somewhere, they're saying "bye-bye-bye!"

117) Neo Visulazim is NOT a cult- it's a way of life.

118) And, just for the record, POP IS DEAD!!

119)Don't try to understand why your child would sit through a horror film just to see the credits when normally they don't even like horror films.

120) Be happy that your child is experiencing other cultures when they start watching Japan's Movies.

121) If your child is saying and doing this.... "MY BISHIE! MY BISHIE IS HURT! OH OH NO! I still love you Asagi *pets picture of Asagi*" or *talking to a picture of Shinya* < (guilty of that -.-;;) do not fear, they are not crazy , just a J-Rock fan

122) If you sit down and your child suddenly screams, jump back up and apologize to the j-rocker whose face you just sat on.

123) Never question your child when they start doing odd things like

oh.

giving odd looks

acting goofy

being hyper

yelling at random moments

complain and demand you get them more trident

wear trucker hats on the side of their head

or

take really creepy pictures with small children who look like they want nothing more than to be FAR FAR away from them, and then gush over how awesome the picture looks.

124) do not question them when they say the 20th of November is New Years. They will glare at you till you DIE

125) If your child creates a addiction for lollipop, just give them all the lollipops they want. You can blame someone call 'Maya' if you want to, but, please, GIVE THEM the lollipops.

126) If you catch your child walking around their room then acting like they can fly, don't worry, they're just mimicking LM.C from "Little Fat ManBoy", and chances are they mimic other j-rockers as well...mainly Miyavi from "Neo Visualizm" or "Girls, Be Ambitious".

127) No, Maya is not a girl with a brother named Miguel. He doesn't have a show on PBS, and he probably doesn't know any Spanish. Don't go around singing the Maya & Miguel theme song to your kid, they won't appreciate it.

Unless you sing Maya & Miyavi, because that might be kinda fun. (<-- Guilty)

128) if they can't stop giggling when they see mana...do not as them why SHE is so funny, it will cause them to lose the ability to breath

129)If your child is a fan of Lol-J-rock and whenever they go near stairs they chant "Mana does not climb stairs. Carry Mana. He will wait."

130)Do not pronounce hide all icky and American-like. You will be summarily shot.

131) Don't confuse hide and HYDE or the same fate will befallen you.

132) Don't get upset if your child wants to work a lot in order to pay for his or her J-Rock addiction instead of putting the money toward a retirement fund. Death glares and cold shoulders will result.

133) Don't be stingy and let them use your credit card when they have said money.

134) Don't be upset if your child finds that they are more at home on a forum than in their own homes.

135) Plushies are not stuffed animals and must be treated with respect. Also, there is no such thing as "Too many plushies."

136) Going to a J-rock Concert in Japan, preferably at Tokyo Dome, is the dream of many a j-rock fan. Do not scoff at them when they ask to go, and help them go if you can.

137) Nothing will stand in the way of a j-rock fan attending an event where j-rockers are guests of honor or performing, so don't try to stop them.

138) (Mine) You better get used to the fact that your child will spends several hours (if not all) every day on the computer.

139) (Mine) Do not under any circumstances ask way a Lemon REALLY means.

140) (Mine) Plushies are to ALWAYS be treated with the upmost care.

141) If you find your child randomly laugh really loud in the middle of the night. Don't worry they're still sane(most likely listening to Tainted reality)

142) If you hear your child scream out 'yaoi!' please don't ask what it is unless you are prepared to possibly be scarred for life

143) If you find your child watching very pretty boys kiss each other, don't worry, it's not porn

144) Never say to your child "Visual Kei is emo", you will be shot

145) Never go "ewwww" when looking at pictures of your child's favourite J-Rocker, you will get the evil eye

146) Never question your child's love of men wearing strips of cloth over their noses. Bodily harm will result.

147) When your girl goes to the men's fragrance counter asking for a sample of Platinum Egoiste, she's not getting it for a boyfriend, she just wants to sample Eau du Gackt [or have her Gackt plushie smell like- well- Gackt].

148) When you see a Live of a guy punching himself in the jaw to make himself bleed, don't panic, it's just Kyo of Dir en Grey.

150) When she/he sits transfixed for 15 minutes watching/listening to a drum solo, you can bet she's/he watching/listening to Yoshiki.
