[EugeneSmasher]

I like Dir En Grey and X-Japan. I like Loudness too but they're more like heavy metal... Jmetal?

 

[dir]

please stop caring so much about genres, they all came from rock/blues, whether it's indietronica, country, death metal, post-hardcore, or chicago bluegrass.

 

[EugeneSmasher]

Well, the threadstarter asked for Japanese rock bands.

 

[dir]

metal doesn't descend directly from rock?

BTW a rip of X Japan's Reunion Tour DVD has been uploaded onto Youtube. Amazing work considering that they've disbanded for about a decade, especially Yoshiki and Toshi (can YOU drum like Yoshiki when you're 43?), and for some reason Heath sounded better now than the time X Japan was still active xD. Extremely surprising ending though, best if you just check it out yourselves.

Yea, heath has improved a lot since their disbanding. Unfortunately, Pata had lost his atmosphere in live performances ever since Hide passed on, did you notice? =s


Anyway, talking about j-rock bands, my favs are

Ancafe
Gazette
Hide With Spread Beaver (No more =()
L'arc~En~Ciel
Luna Sea
Nightmare
Rentrer En Soi
Vidoll,

And last but not least,

:twisted: X-JAPAN :twisted:
