I barely listen to Jpop any more because of all the Jrock. I'm usually open to trying new bands, but some of my more favourites are stuff like Dir en grey, MUCC, Merry, Plastic Tree, Kalimero, Kagrra. I'm not a fan of oshare-kei, though x_x

Most people think they're chicks, even the one's not in VK bands :laugh

LOL, well said. VK all sounds the same to me, but I guess I can see why people like it. I don't really like L'arc either... not exactly VK, but he has the boring voice thing going on.

I like the bands you listed. =)

Plastic Tree and PIERROT I do like, though.

@ LacusClyne: Those are exactly my thoughts XXD

I went through a J-Rock phase for awhile and I still like some of it, there just isn't much that catches my ear these days. I'm not really into the whole visual band thing either since I'd prefer good music over good hair and makeup. When I talk to J-Rock fans I meet, a lot of them seem to have a really elitist attitude towards J-Pop and that really turns me off. Obviously the ones on AHS aren't like that since you all like Ayu :laugh

IM a big fan if Jrock..i love the fashion and the music...im a fan of (the) Gazette, REITA!!!!!!!!! *dies*
Miyavi (he was jrock...(kinda still is haha..though his newer stuff isnt as hard core as his older stuff)
Dir en Grey...(though ive only listened to some)
I loved this An Cafe song I hear on IMF..but I cant remember what it was called grr
Pierrot (i never can spell their names HAHA)

I hate people who just look at them like they are stupid just becuase of the way they dress and how they look..

Some people can be very mean and dont even care. People used to laugh at me becuase I would bring my Gothic Lolita magazine with all these guys in it...though they all thought they were girls >.<!
