Diorama is an AMAZING band from Germany. There is no classification for their music, but they are usually labeled under "goth/electro" or something similar. Their sound is entirely unique, with the mood varying from melancholic to intense, with melodic, harmonic and unbelievably amazing vocals. Many consider their music "dark", some say depressing, but really it is all beautiful and dramatic. This man has the most sensual voice ever. One day this band is going to be much bigger than they are right now.
Japanese dramas. They are what Japanese television mostly consists of, and they come in a wide variety of genres. Regardless, they are characterized by melodramatic characters and plot. Some well known doramas are actually manga adaptions.
Hanazakari Kimitachi e was an awesome dorama- I want towatch Nodame Cantabile next!
Dorama is like drama but with more angst and whining. It's like drama++ Usually happens on either IRC or Livejournal. Dorama is usually more enertaining as well.
