jrock artist you listen to?
 

Here we are talking about so much j/kPOP music, how about Jrock?? Who's your fave jrock artist? Or jrock music you listen to?

Mine is obviously--> Gackt XD

Is Puffy Jrock? if it is i like them!

I dont Really know any J-Rock artists...:( but ill try and read this forum later to find out if people have any other commnets and things so i can read up and see their recommendations !

L'arc en ciel, Siam Shade, Gackt (only a little though), Aikawa Nanase. I wanna hear more Jrock though.

The only J-rock artists I listen to is Aikawa nanase.

Is puffy Jrock??? c'mon guys! sum1 pls answr. I like Aikawa Nanase too!

I LOVE NANASE AIKAWA!!!!!!!!! I've also just recently begun liking Janne de Ark.

I downloaded some Gackt songs and I don't like them his voice is weird haha.

GAckt mostly

janne da ark is AWESOME! i have all their songs from their latest CD :D. my soulseek name is *ayu* dreamy yume. Is Hitomi considered jrock? i love her! i also like L'arc~en~Ciel. they're nice :).

what about the old j-rockers? like Luna Sea (aka lunacy).

Yaiko (Yaida Hitomi), Gackt, Aikawa Nanase, Hitomi, Do As Infinity (DUH!), The Brilliant Green, Dragon Ash (Are they rock or rap?), Malice Mizer, Porno Graffitti... umm... I think there's a couple more... heh.

Gee, are DAI, Hitomi, and The Brilliant Green considered Jrock, too? I didn't realize! I love them too!

Nanase Aikawa
X-Japan
Guitar Vader

RAWK OOOON

I would say they were. I mean, they don't fit in the same category as say, Ayumi, BoA, Kumi Koda, Namie Amuro, or Utada Hikaru. I've seen a lot of websites say that Van Tomiko's voice is more mid-rock. I've always considered Hitomi J-rock.

I don't know, I guess it's just where you look. Heh.

NANASE AIKAWA!!!!!!

i think puffy is considered pop sky ;)

i like glay a lot :) i loved luna sea when they were together! they were sooo awesome...kawamura ryuichi is cool ^__^ l'arc is alright, and haha yeah porno graffitti..ahh the memories. my ex reallie loved pierrot, but theyre kinda weird o_0 i also like most of the others mentioned here too :)

Aikawa nanase.

dai

hitomi

LUNA SEA, X Japan, Gackt, and Aikawa Nanase. All are very good artists/groups or use to be.

Aikawa Nanase, The brilliant Green, Siam Shade, Do as infinity.

I also like hitomi a lot but I don't consider her really a JROCK singer. She has a lot of POP songs also: IS IT YOU?, WHY?, INNER CHILD, Plastic Time Machine, flow, etc Also most of her older stuff (songs from before and that weren't included in the Thermo Plastic Album) are very poppish and they represent almost half of her discography. I do agree she has a lot of cool rockish songs though. So I would consider her like Ayu is. They make both balanced with Rock songs and POP songs.

I also liked 2 songs from Shiina Ringo that Grant sent to me: "Can't take my eyes off of you" and especially "momen no handkerchief" Very very good. I heard other 3 songs from her but didn't like them as much...if only I knew some more great songs from her.

I also like some songs from LUNA SEA: Mainly "Desire", "In Silence", "True Blue" and "Gravity"

Hehe, I think I've gotta be the most hardcore Shena Ringo fan around here ^^;;
Btw, Momen no handkerchief isn't a Ringo original, it's a cover of a song by Oota Yumi, some pop singer waaay back in the 70's ^^;;

If you like rock, I'd recommend songs like "honnou" (with a cool pv too) and "GIBUSU" and maybe "tsumi to batsu"

She seems to have steered abit off rock recently to do some more experimental sorta music in her latest album, so if you are into stuff like jazz, go listen to "mayonaka wa junketsu", the pv of the song is also my fave jpop pv so far ^^;;

Ah... Thanks for that.

Gackt is weird for me... I hate him! sorry Gackt fans!:D

aikawa nanase all the way!!!!! :D

Ayu also got a few rock songs ?? Like evolution?

i recommend these songs
X Japan: X, endless rain,crucify my love
L'Arc-en-Ciel: stay away,neo universe,honey

No one except me has mentioned Yaida Hitomi yet! >.<

I know Yaida Hitomi but I didn't know her songs were j-rock!! Any songs of her to recommend?

Her songs are fine. I've started to listen to her just recently...needto listen more!!!!!:laugh

Is Olivia Lufkin considered JROCK? ahhahaha I like some of her songs like "Dress Me Up", "Into the Stars", "Sea Me" and "Color of your spoon"!!! She doesn't look like a japanese and she seems to know english and other languages LOL Her songs and album titles can be very weird sometimes (i.e "Color of your spoon"(????) "Internal bleeding strawberry"(???) what the heck are these titles? muhahahauauhauhuhauhauhauhauhauh :laugh :roflmao :laugh)

Yeah, she's considered J-rock. Well, everywhere I've gone for info on her, they say she's a j-rocker. I suggest "Andante", "I can fly", "Mikansei No Melody", and "Niji no Drive". Those are all off of her latest album, "i/flancy"

shinjite:
I love your "lunacy" joke - I never thought of that! ;) But yeah, I liked them too while they were around.

anyhow, my fav is Aikawa Nanase w/o a doubt - I've liked her since her debut and have her 1st 3 albums :) I also like a few songs of Olivia, Brilliant green, B'z, & Glay, but the total of songs I like doesn't even compare to the # of Nanase songs I like. Nanase forever! ;)

LOL it's not really a joke I Love Ayu. Luna Sea true meaning is that of "Lunacy". They just messed around with the word and made it Luna Sea (Looks cooler). They even have an album called "Lunacy";)

GLAY, Gackt, tetsu69, Aikawa Nanase, etc.....

X Japan is my favorite j-rock band. "Art of Life" is the best song ever. It's 30 minutes long and the lyrics are great.

Ive found my J-Rock artist Aikawa nanase! her songs are soo good:D n i love china rose:P hehe!

I like Lovin' You by aikawa nanase! This is the only song I've heard of her -_-

I lihe Heat of the Night and like a rard rain!.

you should try listening to "seven seas" and "koigokoro", my fav Nanase songs :)

Okie, I Love Ayu, thanks for recommending, I'll download those you recommended! I kinda like yaida hitomi the first time I saw her pv (err i forgot the name, I just remember it was a dark pv and she was playing her guitar at some sort of mountain area!?!) anywayz she reminds me of Taozi! (tao jin ying or sumthing? I forgot!)

gackt nowadays isn't really singing J-rock music, he's been lately into more pop and R&B music

Here are my fave gackt songs:
Secret Garden
Kimi no Tameni Dekiru Koto
Lu:na
Kagero (chachamaru's album)
ANOTHER WORLD
Memories
Wasurenai Kara

X japan

WAHHH I like Aikawa Nanase's Seven Seas very much!! She's a cool female J-ROCK!!

Cool that you liked her tinyppl!! Aikawa is one of my favorite artists and i love SEVEN SEAS too!!! Why don't you try looking forother song like: Heat of the night, Nostalgia, China Rose, Troublemaker, Yumemiru Shoujo Ja Irarenai, Sayonara wo kikasete, Koi Gokoro and Saigo no yoru? Just listing a few. She has loads of very cool songs!!!!!

cool OKIE!! I like her voice, very special for a J-rock singer^^

gackt camui :thumbsup

Concerto Moon. They maybe more like J-metal but they are awesome. But I also like Husking Bee and Aikawa Nanase too.

LOL! Stupid me thought Arashi was a Jrock group because I had only heard one song by them called "PIKA*NCHI", then they released the follow up, and it was sappy Jsoul :P
Boybands :(

JRock...not any artists I'm really into, but there are some songs by these artists that I like:

Nanase Aikawa
X Japan
Hitomi Yaida aka Yaiko
Ringo Shiina
B-Dash

not sure what these guys are:
The Boom

Gackt. Glay

Head Phones President, Never Fear, X Japan, ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate)..umm I know there is more but I can't think of them at the moment.

Think i'm starting to get more into LUNA SEA lately. They do have some really cool and well arranged songs. And i saw their live performance and was like :eek :eek :eek . They play so perfectly!!! I thought it was a playback at first! The guitars and drums...there's no flaws....

Do As Infinity

yes i love heat of the night @!!!!

Gackt, hyde, Laruku

the only person that ive listened to recently is aikawa nanase.

What about Psycho le Cemu..are they Rock or Pop?
Also I like very few songs from Dir en grey!

I kno..I already posted who I listern to but I just thought of them now! Hehe :P

im a fan of shiina ringo also... i spent over $100 on her on yesasia the other day :weep
everyone should check out her first 2albums [muzai moratoriamu] + [shousou sutorippu]... tracks like [yokushitsu] (BATHROOM) + [sutoishizumu] (stoicism) are wicked...
her new album should be arriving tomorrow, the title is really focking bizarre... [karuki za-men kuri no hana] (calcium lime(?) sperm chestnut)??? how many did she drop to come up with that?? :p

ive heard a couple of aikawa nanase songs but the only one i remember is [toraburume-ka]
i saw a yaiko pv [i think it was her debut] when i was in japan on mtv japan, i remember i thought she looked like sadako off ring :p

Luna Sea is great. ''Feel'' is one of my favorite J-Rock covers to play.

Porno Graffitti, Gackt :D

Olivia!

Gackt, miyavi, Gazette, Dir en Grey, Nightmare, Rentrer en Soi, Malice Mizer, Psycho le cemu, luna sea, Moi dix Mois...

Actually I meant Japanese visual rock when I first started this topic XD LUNA SEA is my fave!! *dies
