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

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.

KarenPang 12th June 2009 04:13 PM

I fell in love with that song as well(*singing*Yes I Am ooooo Yes I Am*/singing*), but I dont know any of their other songs, recommondations anyone?

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)

I'm also quite new to their music but try their recent singles like SAY YOUR DREAM (it's 13 mins long :faint but it's an excellent one) , Aka to Kuro no MATADORA / I LOVE YOU wo Sagashiteru & VERB

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

Maemi 12th June 2009 04:53 PM

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...

Sakura_Genki 12th June 2009 04:57 PM

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?

Maemi 12th June 2009 05:11 PM

^ about 4 years, maybe more or less. ^^ and you?

Same here, had it not been for J-Rock/Visual Kei I'd never have gotten in love with the rest of japanese music (Kuu and Ayu :heart ).
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.

Since 2002 so that's almost seven years. Wow, that's gone fast. Hard to believe. I remember my first Diru song, Mr. NEWSMAN. I seriously love that song so much. :heart

noidea 12th June 2009 06:00 PM

@ 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^^

KarenPang 12th June 2009 06:00 PM

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

A psycho murderer?
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

yeah his character was really scary , I was freaking out quite a bit . He played a psycho murderer & cannibal @_@

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 @_@

Maemi 12th June 2009 06:19 PM

@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 @_@

Corvina 12th June 2009 06:20 PM

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!^^

er yeah I think there's such a word

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
