The Official J-rock thread ★
I've been searching and searching, but couldn't find any! Since there's an official thread for J-Urban, I see there aren't many threads for Jrock artists, so this one should be the official? People can find and post recommendations (^^))) Your favorites are...?Please enjoy!
Some touch of the 80s ★BUCK TICK★ http://s39.radikal.ru/i083/0906/82/17ac4aba5c97.jpg ★X JAPAN★ http://i059.radikal.ru/0906/c3/d65d422ab3f5.jpg ★Malice Mizer★ http://i024.radikal.ru/0906/91/2e4b77ac6272.jpg ★LUNA SEA★ http://s45.radikal.ru/i110/0906/0e/6b8706ef1141.jpg Some touch of the 90s |

Yay official :3 There should have been an official thread ages ago.
I'm a huge MALICE MIZER fan. I've been a fan for over 8 years. I think they're amazing. I'm not that hugely into 90's Jrock, I just don't think it's as epic as 80's Jrock is. If I do listen to 90's stuff it's usually indie Visual Kei. Uh, recommendations? Would you like to read a list gazillion miles long? I can give you hundreds of Jrock bands. I suggest bands like alice nine., serial NUMBER, SuG, LuLu, D, LiZ, Akihabara Shounnendan Dennou Romeo, aicle, Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet-, Moi dix Mois, 12012, Nightmare, Girugamesh, SCREW, DespairsRay, PIERROT, ayabie, AILE, lolita23q, The GazettE, xTRiPx, irokui, VAMPS, Aikaryu, Dio -distraught overlord-. I could go on forever! |
Man, I've been so out of Jrock, so I have no idea about these newer bands :laugh. I'll check out some of Sakura_Genki's list.
My favourites include, MUCC, Dir en grey, Plastic Tree, Kagrra, Girugamesh, Merry, Zi:Kill, Kalimero, La Vie En Rose, Love Psychedelico, D'espairsRay, Coaltar of the Deepers, Aikawa Nanase. |
any GLAY fans here ? I love their new single I am xxx :heart & some of my fave jrock acts include abingdon boys school , BREAKERZ , flumpool , L'arc en ciel
I'm starting to get into UVERWorld now slowly bit by bit |

I like some J-Rock bands, not many... X-Japan is definitly one of my favourites, I love Art of Life and Silent Jealousy so much! HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, sure, quite poppy, but songs like their cover of LUNA SEAs ROSIER show how good they are at "real" rock( but I love their poprock/rockpop as well, they got me into J-Pop and J-Rock^^ BTW: Anybody interested in a discography thread for them? I have all of their songs, mostly 320k. I get too hyper about them xD Especially as they are going to have their comeback with HALCA as new singer soon^^) Nightmare the GazettE and thats it...kind of, I also like the band that did the second death note opening and ending, but i always forgot their name(WHATS UP PEOPLE? xD) |

Aka to Kuro no MATADORA was the 1st GLAY song that I heard which started my GLAY music journey & it's a nice latin influenced tune |
I'm a big Dir en grey's fan. They're absolutely amazing. I like many Jrock bands, because Jrock music got me into japanese music at first. Luna Sea, Hyde, Laruku, B'z, D'espairsRay, Deathgaze...
|
I'm the same Maemi. If it wasn't for MALICE MIZER and Dir en grey, I don't think I would be as Japanese music obsessed as I am now, or at least, I wouldn't have started my journey to liking Japanese music. For how long have you been a fan of Diru?
|
^ about 4 years, maybe more or less. ^^ and you?

My first love was Gackt. :laugh Then I discovered more and more bands like Diru, D'espairsRay etc. But it was easier for me to get into J-Rock/Visual Kei because there is a german record company for J-Rock since 2006. |

@ Corvina
yeah, i bought Stacked Rubbish by The GazettE and the WORLD Ruler from Nightmare in german press, I love them for bringing these bands to germany @ Karenpang Thanks for the recommondations^^ And 13 minutes is no problem to me, my favourite song is half an hour long^^ |
talking about Gackt , he appeared in episode 2 of MR.BRAIN which stars the 'legend' Takuya Kimura
oh god Gackt whom played a psycho murderer scared me in the show @_@ . Let's just say that I shouldn't have watched MR. BRAIN at night with Gackt's character around :dead2 |
Quote:
That fits, Gackt is such a mysterious guy and he always makes a serious face. :laugh I would be scared a lot as well, Karen! @noidea: Oh, I bought so much back then, even without knowing some of the bands. Dear, I would never do that again, silly me. :rolleyes But I discovered my favourite bands like this (and Ayu too). :laugh |
Quote:
his character was said to have killed a few people in the show & after murdering his victims , he chopped their body parts which was so :dead2 :dead2 I had nightmares & I couldn't sleep well after seeing it AT NIGHT @_@ |
@Corvia ~ Diru is very popular in Germany, right? Actually, Jrock music is becoming more and more influential there, am i right?:)
@Sakura_Genki my first song was Red...[em] and now, everytime i hear it, i feel weird @_@ |
Karen, you're really cute! :laugh
But I know what you're talking about, I can't watch any horror movies with anybody, alone less than ever. I have to say Gackt is a nice actor for dark roles and he's such a good dubbing speaker (is this the right english word? o.O). @Maemi: Yes, you're right, J-Rock is quite big here but in other european countries, too. There is more than one band touring through Europe this year!^^ |

if you have the guts , watch Gackt playing the psycho that I mentioned . Thank goodness his's a cameo role & it's a 1 off thing more or less HAHA xD xD xD - http://www.mysoju.com/mr-brain/episode-2/part-1 having said that , Gackt was convincing to me in playing such a role I'm waiting for episode 3 of MR.BRAIN cos of KAT-TUN's Kamenashi Kazuya whom will be making a cameo appearance on :smitten :smitten :smitten :smitten :smitten |
