I've read the first Full Metal Alchemist book, it was good. Kanon Wakeshima makes really melodic japenese music, like Still Doll, the song used in the credits during the end of Vampire Knight ^.^ Her music is beautiful! Gotta check it out!
I love anime shows like Chibi Vampire and Death Note. I also like J-rock. Umm, Kanon Wakeshima isn't exactly under that genre, but her music is great too :)
