[AyUta]

Um.....UVERWORLD.

hm, also abingdon boys school.

Alice nine, though you might not like his voice, you could still try him out .

[~Amy~]

Hmm I've listened to Uverworld. I didn't know TM Revolution was part of abingdon boys school. @_@! lol
These groups are nice but I'm looking for something a tad bit more hardcore, without screaming. lol Any jmetal artist? o.o

haha well T.M.Revolution's basically a solo project by the abs's frontman Takanori

the other members you see in abs , they have been helping out with his T.M.Revolution works almost since the beginning so they're not exactly newbies in the industry

Good list. I only can add High and Mighty Color

[ownsarai]

I like a lot of the older J-Rock bands myself, like Pierrot, BUCK-TICK, Dir en grey (though you might not like them, Kyo is a screamer, haha), Janne Da Arc, alice nine. (as someone else recommended), MUCC, DuelJewel, Merry, girugamesh, hide's solo stuff is awesome. Guniw Tools, Nookicky, cali≠gari, deadman. I also like ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.

I don't know if Aqua Timez's considered rock because they're known for being pop/rock but some of their stuff have a harder rock edge

yup I recommend flumpool, uverworld and high & mighty color too!!

[JackieRos]

Dir en grey (you should listen to their earlier work
kyo wasnt a screamer back then
any album from Gauze to Withering to death. you my like)

Kalafina (in bento beat box they said they were J-Rock)
Kanon Wakeshima
Moi dix Mois (although they are Visual Kei or Symphonic metal but its similar)
the Gazette
Mucc

[KarenPang]

^ Kanon Wakeshima's considered as rock ? o_O

I suppose it can be counted since hers's gothic classical inspired rock

[Maemi]

Kanon Wakeshima isn't rock. Kalafina neither.

[JackieRos]

^idk why bento beat box said they were JRock
also kanon was in the same category

i consider kanon jrock shes definetly not jpop
maybe like classical or symphonic

[x-megumi-x]

Inoue Joe
ELLEGARDEN
Acid Black Cherry
D'espairsRay
the HIATUS
Miz and Stereopony (they're more pop/rock though)
And definitely UVERworld and HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR

[prussian blue]

Moi dix Mois

i dont really consider hitomi as a rock singer, but she did a lot of pop-rock song

Her musical style is considered to be neoclassical ~ dark ambient. I don't remember any song from her discography that has rock elements.
