Awesome thread is awesome

My Jrock favorites include Dir en grey, Miyavi, BUCK-TICK, Sakurai Atsushi, MUCC, Shiina Ringo, D'espairsRay, and Tsukiko Amano. Diru's been like, my life for a while now, and the others make me so happy I could just squee :3 Especially Amano and Shiina. Though I'm really bummed that Amano isn't doing solo stuff anymore ._______. At least Shiina's still releasing, eh?

Miyavi, D'espairsRay and Ra:IN are coming for sure.
MUCC and Girugämesh are only in Scandinavia.
That's the ones I know, I'm somehow sure there will be announced some more soon.

@Karen:
Thanks for the link!^^

This website is really good for keeping up with Jrock news. It covers tours, new releases, disbandments, and it has these really fun little random facts about different band members. It's also really good for up and coming bands that you wouldn't really hear about anywhere else, especially Visual bands.

@Maemi Haha? Weird? I haven't listened to Red...[em] in such a long time D:

Kagome-chan · #25 12th June 2009, 08:17 PM

I absolutely love the GazettE ♥ (I'm so happy for the new album!)

On June 17th I'm going to the concert of Dir en gray in Milan, Italy!! I'm so excited!

With the GazettE and Dir en grey I also listen to 雅-miyavi-, Versailles, L'Arc~en~Ciel, HIZAKI grace project, X JAPAN, Antique Cafe, LM.C, VAMPS, Juka, Moi dix Mois, Girugamesh, Nightmare, alice nine., SCREW, Dio -distraught overlord-

Bad Wolf · #26 12th June 2009, 10:11 PM

Ohh right, GazettE are coming out with a new one, aren't they? Man it's been so long... glad to see that they're doing something soon!

Have fun at the Diru show~

I saw them live for the first time last November here in NYC and it was an experience beyond words. I just wish I could've caught MUCC a week later =/

Lee^ChaN · #34 13th June 2009, 11:23 AM

Janne De Arc, anyone??

aqua_crystal · #35 13th June 2009, 11:27 AM

^I prefer Acid Black Cherry (Janne De Arc's lead singer's solo stuff)

Wheee!!!! A J-rock thread!!! I just wish there was a J-metal thread too, but no one seems interested in it

I love:
L'Arc~en~Ciel, Gackt, miyavi, MALICE MIZER, X JAPAN, An Cafe, Acid Black Cherry and a bunch of other stuff...

Wait.... isn't abingdon boys school j-rock too???

Actually! I've read in quite a few Jrock blogs about Jrockers liking Ayu too. I remember MITSURU (ex. SuG) writing about how he was listening to Ayu songs in one of his blog entries.

It reminds me that GPKISM have a new release, and some of the mixes are done by KIKU (from the JRock band Camino) who did some songwriting for Ayu, or so I've read.

Yes, it's true! For exemple many years ago, in an interview, they asked to Aoi (the GazettE) what was his favourite album in that period, and he answered: I am...

And also in another interview they asked to Uruha (the GazettE) which was his actually ringtone on mobile phone and he said: HANABI ~Episode II~.

Miku is soooo cutee ♥ ♥ ♥
