[edit] Neutrality?

This article is extremely (and subjectively) positive, reading like an advertisement. Faunis 06:17, 2 June 2007 (UTC)Faunis 05:47, June 2 2007 (UTC)

Absolutely. It reads like spam. LoserTalent 11:40, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Reads like it was written by Yuki's boyfriend. --sirveaux 21:09, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I agree - I love this band, but this reads like a gushing (and unreliable) review rather than an encyclopedia article. 69.0.98.137 18:34, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
So many commentators, why has nobody fixed it? I'll leave this page open in my browser and will neutralise it later. --kingboyk 16:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC) PS: Yuki's boyfriend, that would be me then? (j/k)
Turns out it was a copyvio from their official site - http://www.asobiseksu.com/bio.php . --kingboyk 20:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

As a translator of Japanese who has been living in Japan for over 10 years, I object to the translation of 'asobi seksu' as 'playful sex'. This is a simplistic direct translation which totally misses the socio-cultural nuance of the term in Japanese. Thus I have edited it as 'casual sex' in English which I feel is a much better expression of what the Japanese really means.

[edit] Quality of writing

I started a rewrite of the band description which was was clumsily written. Tried to add a bit of context to the 'shoegazing' classification. (rr) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rossriley (talk • contribs) 22:08, 12 August 2007

[edit] Sportf*ck

Why does someone keep editing out my verified information about the previous name of the band. --Kbhoyt 6, Oct 2007 —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 07:59, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

For reference, the URL stating their previous name: http://www.cut-up.com/reviews/detail.php?id=3. I'd like to find one more source though, as it seems to be a tricky issue. -- Pepve 13:00, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Apparently that URL is incorrect, it should not be used as a source. So I was told. -- Pepve 16:16, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Removed these per WP:EL, they might still be useful as sources though:
