The Japanese Music Thread

[Arukih]

i love bands which i found and they dont look like VK at all like Amuza(hardcore), or Good 4 nothing(kind a punk) Doping Panda( indie rock) Beat Crusaders(indie\punk\rock) or Mucc(alternative\hard\emo whose i saw em playin in Paris) Rie fu(pop. i saw her in London) but love Vk bands aswell like ()A9 they are cool, Ayabie(I saw at Filand last year) Gazette(i saw in germany last) and Dir en grey(who im dying to see i couldnt back to germany to see the show) and Kra, D'ray and finaly Suicide Ali I jus love them so much

Hm...Well I'm not too much of a japanese music fan, but there are some I do like. I enjoy Loud stuff like Maximum the Hormone [Does stuff from Death Note] and Gackt is also pretty good. Right now I'm just getting into a band called L'arc en ciel. [Full Metal Alchemist] The only solo artist for Japanese i really like in any respect is Utada Hikaru [Kingdom hearts]

[Kazaf]

Heh L'Arc was the first j-rock band I ever really got into. All their songs are pretty catchy and well composed. I do prefer their older stuff though (before all the solo stuff). I think something new is coming out soon by them. Interesting to see what their new stuff will sound like.

they did the first Bleach theme song.

Haha, VK does get a little..... dry after a while, eh?
Go check out the Pees, Bump of Chicken and Zwei. Three of my favorites. Not VK. Some people insist Zwei falls under the Visual category, but I fail to see how.

[Senbonzakura Kageyoshi]

Every time i get a song by Zwel it falls under a different category.

[blue_rebel]

Really? What have you been listening to?
My relationship with Zwei is a love-hate one. I really really love Denny, Dragon and Fake Face, but the rest of their stuff is, in my opinion, pretty mediocre.

[Senbonzakura Kageyoshi]

I've kinda erased Zwel from my list and forgotten what they sound like, i do that when i get really bored with something. Some fell under J-Rock, and others were blank and were marked explicit :/

[Rabbits are Roadkill]

My favorite would most definitely have to be Dir en Grey.

For one, Kyo can do some amazing things with his voice. Two, The rest of the band members are very talented as well. And three, I got to see them in Atlanta! ^_^
