I'm into the Japanese punk rock scene, but I'm not crazy about Japanese rock music. It probably has something to do with the fact that it all has pretty much the exact same sound and mood. Gothic guitar riffs to some guy singing in deep trembolo, trying to sound like Gackt, throw in a music video with the band playing in front of some girl in a gothic dress slowly dancing in the background and the lead-singer trying to reach out to her, and there you go.

The only thing I truly appreciate about Japanese rock is the fashion style, even though that is pretty much all the same from band to band, also.
