Favorite Japanese band

[Sanddru]

Just within rock or in General?
lol.. Probably a retarded question, this being the JROCK guild after all >.>;;


I really like Happy End, Orange Pekoe, Aural Vampire, Onmyouza, Laruku, Tokyo Jihen, Caccinica, Go Go 7188, Galatea, Ancient Myth, Kokusyoku Sumire, Baal, Love Psychedelico, Bahashishi, Amasia Landscape, Gallhammer

Generally they are the ones I like most when talking bands from Japan  

[Sariel L`vara]

From the skies my gaze goes far, watching the people live their lives...

=o It's quite hard for me to choose between all the music I listen to to choose a single favourite Japanese rock group; I think all in all my choice pushes me to Aya or [13] for a female vocalist and between Guniw Tools and ZI:KILL for male.

xd Ok, I guess it wasn't as hard as I thought.

Edit
Completely forgot about Tokyo Jihen and Aural Vampire, haven't listen to them for such a long time. They're probably next in line for me after the other artists I mentioned.

...In my book I write their names, to mark the end of their lives

 

[Shattered Valentine]

Oh god um I might have to post a couple Gazette, Miyavi, Malice Mizer, Dir en grey, L'Arc~ciel, An Cafe, and Moi dix Mois I must force myself to stop there

I mean, I know they sometimes play with a couple of bands from my... "circles", but overall, what's the fandom like?

Metronome.


But Polysics, Guniw Tools, and Sparta Locals are really close too.

Yeaaaaahh. I used to just watch their videos on youtube all the time, but now I have Sun Sun Sun, and it's awesome. Yeah. dramallama And I have like, one song from Dreamers, hah. I want Second Fanfare.


Polysics was super fun when I went, omg. I missed them the last time. The best part was when Hayashi got molested by a fat guy who was standing behind me. lol  

[jarvi]

Metronome, Shinjuku Gewalt, and Mamono. :0 SeikimaII, FLOPPY, BALZAC, Cali≠Gari, Goatbed, and others too.

No Guruguru sad

Mamono are really cool. The songs I used to listen to and then lost, they're on the CDs you gave me, but different versions or something! (I don't know if I like them as much as the ones I had before... oAo)

I usually just list the bands I'm listening to the most atm. Guru guru is for sure in the "others too" section. 3nodding I still love them.

You must have had versions ripped from their MDs or demotapes then! ;A; I want to hear those... I found two of their demotapes at Closet Child recently. 8D But I have no tape player.  

[Eizun]

Yeah, I usually list those too.

But dude those DEFINITELY didn't sound like tape rips.

Then again, Mikawawan is a tape rip. SO I guess I can't tell.

The songs were BLOODY FESTIVAL, DEVIL DOLL, and another.



And if those aren't Mamono song titles OMFG I'M SO SORRY I have no memory.

How the fans are?
The ones I'm familiar with are the sort of uh..
high-class artsy types o-o;;
you know the ones that know everything about classical music, play violin, were forced into some sort of art-type as kids and so on
i havent really met other kinds of fans.. well except one of my Band-mates but she's not exactly a fan-fan...-fan

lolol edit; as for shows, there tends to be quite alot of Lolitas o-o
i guess some of them fall into that type ^ too.. maybe
