What`s you fav J-band?

[ZantetsukeN]

Another 2 bands I've only got into over the last few days. First one is HIGH and MIGHTY Colour. I just finished watching the third series of Bleach, and decided to listen to more of them, as Ichirin No Hana is the opening song for some of the series. I got hooked on them after finding more. They are a great band. Good mixture of female and male vocals.

The second, and I can't believe I put off listening to them until today in fact, is Versailles. I've heard so many good things about them, and I finally decided to check them out, and they are fantastic. I love their style. It reminds me of Malice Mizer a lot, but heavier.

X Japan and Malice Mizer are hands-down my two favourite Japanese bands. L'Arc~en~Ciel and B'z are two long-time favourites, too. I've just recently gotten into the glory that is Versailles as well, and I absolutely love what I've heard of theirs so far. I think I'd agree with ZantetsukeN that they're reminiscent of Malice Mizer in some respects. A friend of mine just recently got me into UVERworld, too, and I've enjoyed what I've heard of theirs so far as well. I'll definitely have to look into some of the bands that came up on here that I've yet to listen to, though, as I'm always into making new musical discoveries.

I don't actually really listen to any, but Gackt is my favorite so far. I am considering listening to X Japan and Malice Mizer now, since I suppose those two are pretty good J-rock bands.

X Japan is more J-Metal in most of their albums, but I still consider them J-Rock, lol

[xXx Rikku xXx]

J-Rock top 3 would be Gackt, Girugamesh and An cafe

J-Pop top 3 nana mizuki, koma kudi and Cheiko Kawabe

altime favourite japanese musician would be Kanon Wakehsima xD

Girugamesh

Uverworld
SuG

They are all really good band.

[Yesha]

[Ben.Sleazoid]

Dir en grey is my absolute favorite band :x. I can't possibly describe my undying love for them, and so I wont. But I love them undyingly. <3

[smurphy]

I am in a phase where I am just listening to punk and Japan has no shortage of great punk bands. My favourite would probably be THE STREET BEATS or Odd Bowz. Both veterans of the genre but they have awesome back catalogues. Kudos to the Blue Hearts as well.

Outside of J punk Sabbat play excellent black metal.

[ghanistha]

My Favourite J-Band is Rip Slyme.

[Angantyr]

Boris.

There are some ok Vocaloid songs but for the most part I don't like the concept.

I love Touhou music though. 9 is the strongest.

[RainingOasis]

Versailles, De'spairs Ray, L'Arc En Ciel, LM.C and Luzmelt

[Crescent]

I fkng love J-pop/rock. Here are some of my faves artists/bands I listen to everyday:

Kotoko
Ayumi Hamasaki
Maximum The Hormone
Jasmine
M.O.V.E
Satou Akemi
Boa
Utada Hikaru
Kouda Mariko
Nightmare
Janne De Arc

...amongst others.

I love the street beats. Been digging their punk rock style for a long time now. for those of you who might know the movie "crows zero" this is the Street beats performing a famous badass song of theirs to open the movie.

[ultima_trev]

Infected Malignity
Infernal Revulsion
Vomit Remnants

Brutal Slam Death Metal.

[Xanatos]

I don't usually listen to Japanese music, aside few songs I stumble on while going through various anime series. If I had to pick my favorite artist it would definitely be Kajiura Yuki... I know it's not a band... still, her work on Noir was simply outstanding.

[Crow Song]

For me it would be UVERworld, Kanon x Kanon, and if it counts Girls Dead Monster (From Angel Beats! staring LiSA)
