How I'd been attracted to Internet

I'd been interested in Computers and Internet for a long time. In 1995, I found BAD MOON RISING had their own website, and I really wanted to see it, then I got my first Macintosh.

The reason I started to make web pages

At that time, I was just a websurfer. Logging onto the BMR site was a kind of my routine duties. For several months, the site showed me only "underconstruction" page. Why? They had much information, and their fans really wanted to see/get it as I did. In Spring 1996, I'd decided to create a website for BMR/BMR fans.

At first, I mainly created BMR pages. then added more pages of Rock music, webmaster, and anything I was interested. It was getting bigger and bigger and now this site became huge! I'm always trying to make this site useful and gorgeous.

Burning Rain official net

BAD MOON RISING had split up in Nov. 1998. After that, the band's guitarist Doug Aldrich formed a new band Burning Rain. Naturally I created a fan site of the band.

In summer 2000, Burning Rain released their 2nd album Pleasure To Burn. The album was awesome, beyond my expectation! People must listen to this album! After I listened to it, I wanted to get a simple domain like burningrain.com or so to be found the site easily by their fans. Then I asked Doug about it... something went on, somehow, he had decided to make my BR site official. Wow, it surprised me a lot. I'd never expected my site would be the official one. It's challenging and it worth to do it. I'd decided to take it. On Mar.31st, 2001, the Burning Rain official net has launched.
