Jrock, anyone?
I was wondering if anyone here listens to Jrock (japanese rock for the ignorant), and if so, who are your favorite bands.
Mine are Dir en grey, X-Japan, Malice Mizer, Gackt, and Miyavi (the last two might count as Jpop though...dunno). I listen to a ton more too, bout 30 more jrock artists.
Do the Black Mages count? If so that's pretty much the only J-Rock band that I like.

whos' obama?
lol, um...i'd list them under videogame soundtracks, but they ARE good ^_^
MALICE MIZER are the only ones that I have listened to as of yet, thoguh I plan on listening to some more in the immediate future.

I'll just go with saying alot.
The Mad Capsule Markets are the best Japanese band ever. Bar none. Polysics kick ass, too.
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.
I knew a guy named outerlimit who was really into jrock. You might like him.
Yeah, man. That guy needs to show up sometime.Originally Posted by Hsu
I like The Mad Capsules better than any other band in the world, because they don't conform to genre and they just produce amazing music.
I really haven't heard any other jrock band besides Dir en grey and I really like them. I would most def. get into the genre more if I knew of more bands like that.
Better. I still like Mad Capsule Markets though.
My favorite j-rock band is merry. Merry is awesome. They play rock, and don't do the whole pipe organ thing that you don't seem to like, Necro.
I mean, i had a time when I liked malice mizer and moi dix mois etc, but now those sorta bore me. But I still like dir en grey, again because they play rock music. But merry is <3333 Haraiso, Japanese Modernist, etc~ Though apparently their music is political. sorta like me liking soad i guess.
(SPOILER)<3shiny
Dir en Grey, Malice Mizer...that's pretty much it. I just classify it as rock though, since I don't go around calling North American rock NARock, or Swedish rock SRock.
I'm more into pop music, so I have alot more pop artists in my lists. Ai Otsuka, Utada Hikaru, Onitsuka Chihiro, etc.
Polysics !!!!
I love there broken english and such.
edit: I dont suppose there really a Jrock band, but id put them in there anyways... FLOW wins it all *-*
