OLIVIA's a great Jrock/Jrock-pop artist, too. I highly recommend her TRAPNEST and Lost Lolli albums.

Anna's awesome . My younger sister actually recommended to me OLIVIA in the early steps of my jpop music journey as she watched the anime NANA where a little pain & WISH were used for promo
for some reason/s back then , she wasn't into Anna's music but now she's after I converted her xD xD & she did that to me for OLIVIA's case too
I do hope that Anna has not entirely ditched her rock roots . She has been experimenting quite a lot from BUBBLE TRIP / sweet sweet song onwards which's nice & NUDY SHOW ! really took me by surprise & I'm glad that it's not a straight rock affair just like strip me ?

Karen: Jrock is relatively big here. It's not mainstream in terms of getting a lot of radioplay or TV time, but it IS known on certain niches of media--some radio stations that cater to rock/metal sounds will play Dir en grey for instance. A lot of the appeal lies in the Japanese-interested sub-culture, dominated by anime or video game fans. Most Jrock bands come here to play at anime conventions, for instance. Very rarely will they branch off and do their own tours or tours with western bands (MUCC, D'espa, Diru.. I think others have been here but I can't recall~)
