Jrock! Appreciation

[Vicissitude27]

I really love this genre of music, but feel I don't know many bands. I mean I have my two favorites, Mucc & Merry, but I really want to find more Jrock type bands. Or bands that are just different and innovative in Japan. So I decided to start a thread in appreciation of these sweet bands.

I cannot get over how beautiful this video is. Gara's vox are epic.


And who can forget Mucc?

Dude thanks for the recommendation! I've heard of Versailles, ABS, and Dir En Grey. But those other ones are so sick.

EDIT: I swear I'm not JohnIce's or Bloody_Inferno's alt.

And Corrupted, but I don't think 71-minute doom songs sung entirely in Spanish would quite fit either.

 

[Vicissitude27]

J-pop? Yes.

Miyavi the Noah of J-pop.
