J-rock!

[ShiroiHikari]

Yo! I was just wondering if there are any fellow J-rockers here (there are some new faces so I thought I'd ask ;D). If so post the bands you like here in this thread!

Here are some bands I like:

X Japan (of course!), L'arc-en-ciel, Plastic Tree, Miyavi (a solo artist...and I don't like all of his stuff, just some), a few songs by Gackt, and a couple of Glay's songs.

In case anyone is concerned, most of the bands I like have pretty clean lyrics, although I dunno about Miyavi yet...anyway, X Japan has a few songs I've never heard but I was scared off by their titles O_O and one of their songs is a bit violent (and super long) called Rose of Pain. It's a dark song so if you don't like that, don't listen to it. And Gackt has a song called Vanilla-- stay away from that one. Sexual content. L'arc-en-ciel is clean, and Plastic Tree is pretty clean too. But I don't know about the Glay songs I have, I was never able to find translations and I can't translate them myself if I don't have the kanjiii...I probably couldn't translate them even then, my Japanese skills are pretty feeble -__-;

Anyway....sorry for the long post .___. Bai bai!

Heard the track "Endless Rain" by X-Japan? That sure is a good one :p

[ShiroiHikari]

I actually haven't heard that one yet ; ___ ; I've been trying to get it but WinMX is not being nice to me right now ><

[WhiteÃ…ngel]

I still listen to a lot of J-Rock... again great skate music...

I like Luna Sea and X-japan mainly, but listen to others too..

by the way...

964 X Japan - Endless Rain Ballad Collection
request this from keiichi.net to hear it before you buy.

Most of these types of cd's I can only find at anime cons to be able to walk home with them and that is expensive. It doesn't get much cheaper ordering online due to shipping.

I listen to MaX and Globe from time to time also.

hmm to me theres both J-Rock and then theres J-Rawk

i listen mostly to:

Brave saint Saturn, five iron, relientk, newsboys(oldschool), surperchic, Big tent revival(very old school), some old jeff moore and the distance, U2(big fan), squad 5 o, and the supertones


dance dance yeah

[Ashley]

"Going, going, it's gone!"
Sorry, that's probably the only Jeff Moore and the Distance song I know. Couldn't resist.

[ShiroiHikari]

Hehe, Geoff Moore.

Yeah, I want to buy the CDs...especially L'arc, X Japan, and Plastic Tree. I'm all for supporting da bands So yeah. Eventually I'll get 'em.

[Ashley]

I kinda like Two-Mix, but mostly their stuff they did for Gundam Wing. I only have one soundtrack (Operation 2), but I love the techno remixes to White Reflection, Rythem Emotion and um, the other one I can't remember.

[Shinja]

ah, i was a little confuesed there j- rock!

Hmmm,

yoko kanno springs to mind as the best.

[ShiroiHikari]

Hey djnoz...I just downloaded Endless Rain...tis pretty good so far!

[Megami Tsunami]

Endless Rain is a great song! I just heard it last week on the radio. Have any of you heard Two Bell Silence by Glay? I really like that song. Though, I cannot make out what they are saying because they're speaking so fast. Hopefully the lyrics aren't bad ones

[ShiroiHikari]

I haven't heard that one Megami...I'll hafta DL it. ^^

[ShiroiHikari]

Cool cool...I'm kind of a fanatic...^^;; I don't like pop much so I dunno about J-pop. Rock's more my speed no matter what country it's from ^^;

hmm are you sure you're mentioning J-Rock bands? J-rock is rock-type music that comes from Japan...

i listen to J-rock A LOT! i'm a fan of GLAY (they're clean) and Siam Shade, these two are my favorites! i listen to almost any J-rock, from the popular to the unpopular like X-Japan, Hide (former guitaris of X-Japan), WANDS, Aucifer, Dir'enGrey, Shazna, Mad Capsule Market, Pierrot, SADS, Balzach, Penicillin, BuckTick, La Raine, Animetal, D-Shade and a lot more ^^

i think Laruku (L'arc) is not a J-rock band, they're more alternative than rock...i mean do you really can call the song "Flower" a rock song? ^^

[Technomancer]

Anyone here listen to shonen knife? I remember them being fairly popular some years back (I liked some of their releases). Wondered if they were still kicking around.

[ShiroiHikari]

Shonen Knife isn't bad...they did this one Powerpuff Girls song that was cute, lol.

[Spencer]

Uuuuuum, question. Whats J-rock?

Lightbringer // Aaron

I was about to ask the same question...o_o

[ShiroiHikari]

Due le Quartz, Dir en Grey (some of it]

Wasn't Miyavi in Due le Quartz? And Dir en Grey isn't clean? That's no fun...but, I didn't like their music an awful lot anyway....

Gackt (Vanilla is nothing compared to Vanilla live...) GLAY, Hide, Hyde (vocalist of Laruku, deff not rock, but whatever)

Vanilla live? I do NOT want to know o_O]L'Arc~en~Ciel (no, they really aren't rock, but neither is Gackt)

I dunno...they seemed like rock to me :]

[ShiroiHikari]

Luna Sea...I heard one of their songs a long time ago, and it wasn't bad...Malice Mizer I didn't like that much though. Miyavi is pretty good Kin kon kan! ^_~ Don't like all of his stuff but there are a few songs that I really like.

YAY, Plastic Tree! They are sooooo good :] I love Chiriyuku Bokura

Tetsu is the bass player for Laruku. I'm pretty sure of that...could be wrong though. I didn't know he was doing solo stuff too...

Man...had to post twice -_- It seemed that it didn't want me quoting so many times in one post o_O Can't get it to work right! ; _ ;
