It's pretty rare here in England and J-rocks starting to appear here in the music stores.
Arrivals in Major English Music Stores:
Alice Nine
Dir en Grey
An Cafe (I warn it's rare as hell only seen it once).
Can't wait for more. I heard Ayumi Hamasaki and Koda Kumi might have their Cd's in Major English Music Stores but it's probably a rumor. Theses bands arrived in Watford a year ago under secrecy but now in St Albans they show up allot. I remember my J-princess friend bought Alice Nine in a music store in England as an English release album. Weird.

Ghost-Love there's rumors the next jrock revolution event is going to be somewhere in Europe >> I know Kana is really big in Europe right now and is going to do another tour. Kana is a suicide starter. Whenever she sings everyone around me says to get the poison ready. xd Alice Nine and Dir En Grey's appeared on MTV. Also a band with a name I can't remember played with a famous band here live on Tv. I would know more details but the so called friend who was suppose to take us never showed or tell us what channel or what time it was. (Should of found out instead of getting drunk in a park... sweatdrop )

According to allot of fans J-rock isn't in HMV. St Albans was the first city too officially sell real J-rock band CD's but now are gone. Strange but local fans have said it's gone. I have seen these so called CD's but now Camden Town/London has the only official collection of J-rock and Visual Kei clothes.
Yui also has entered the line up of being recognized in England. Very talented and rumors state a movie star is a j-rock singer, (is it Yui or is it a lie?)

walcalr01 lol I needs to get down Camden. I never shop down there sweatdrop In breaking news Visual Kei might be out with bands. Only original bands such as Ayabie and Dir en Gray will be seen as Visual Kei. Alice Nine have now switched their approach in J-rock and their music has lightened and so has their dress sense. First sign they would change would be their video for the song Velvet. Ayabie still lives on relentless keeping faith in original J-rock. (Why did one of their songs sound J-popish? They might be lying so they can work on better songs?) I also want to add J-rock gigs are quiet popular in London now. Look out for Alice Nine, Dir en Gray and the popular Gazette.

Aren't rumors great? Visual Kei and J-rock is still here according to the fans here in England. Just ask my friend Scott, (still owes me that High and Mighty Color CD the fool).
Since England moves slow and rumors run low all I can say is if you hear me brag on about something already out somewhere else, it's England for you. I still stress the need to watch out for J-rock gigs around London and the Glastonbury festival is a place to be. New and old J-rock bands show their faces from time to time and last year was no different.
Camden Town/London. You can go for the clothes, people and discounts. I also say watch out for the J-stuff. 3nodding
Until next time English fans.

Wow...its been a long time. sweatdrop
Just to fill everyone in, there are lots of J-rock bands playing this summer in London. Miyavi is scheduled to appear but I can't get tickets. stressed Unfortunately the day hasn't been confirmed.
Look out for Uverworld, Alice Nine and maybe Nightmare. The Glastonbury festival like last year, may allow J-rock bands to sing on the world stage thing. Last year some J-pop group was there. If you have BBC Four or BBC Three then it's worth looking out to who's playing.

Oh! Camden Town/London is going to be amazing this year. Make sure if you are a Japanese Fan go down to find some things from Japan. I will be heading into London and I will check Camden for the usually and the unusual.
I will write about what I have found in London once I have been, most likely this Friday.
walcalr01 you have now filled me in on the things I have missed during my travels. Thanks. biggrin

I went down there and found the Resurrection Records store (after a hour and half trek round Camden Town Station). It only had like 1 J-rock section, very small only like 12 or more CD's. All from the Euro labels, no imports. Disappointed after such a trek from Leichester Square. crying
