Awweee you left out my faverite lol classical music rocks of course I'll look into all the bands ~ Thank you ~

Dang, why doesn't anyone else here listen to ELLEGARDEN!? They are TEH best. Better than Ajikan. Better than Laruku. Better than Janne da Arc. Better than TMR and Acid Android. Well, yeah, since they are the best. Go listen to their latest album Salamander. It's my favourite by far (since Migite).



kedar : I'm glad someone finally mentioned Bump of Chicken. I love Hybrid Rainbow (with The Pillows).

the only jap stuff i listin to is Orange Range

i listen to as much of it as i can. i love j rock. my sisters always give me that"why does she listen to this stuff " look. but i don't care music is music no matter what language it's in, or even if it dosn't have any language at all.lol. though i usually listen to rock i will admit that i do give in and listen to a lil j pop. what can i say BoA, nami tamaki, and ayumi hamasaki are my weaknesses lol. do as infinity is my fav!!!

Yeah? Well too bad DAI doesn't exist anymore. And I kinda miss Psycho le Cemu too.



Naruto1988, if you like Orange Range, you'll probably like Bump of Chicken and ELLEGARDEN, Ajikan (Asian Kung-fu Generation)... and perhaps Janne da Arc. Oh, and I'd recommend Chain by BACK-ON. It's an awesome song - also the opening theme of the AIR GEAR anime.

llol DAIENKA WAS BAD ASS especially when u play ddr with that song
