Anyone here listen to J-Rock?

Listen to J-Rock? Tell me! Don't listen to J-Rock? START LISTENING! (And tell me when you do :P) I'm personally a huge fan of X Japan and Gackt, and some of Miyavi's stuff. If you know what I'm talking about, who do you listen to?

Wow, I like most of those bands! I've heard of UVERworld, but never really listened to any of their music. And I've never heard of V6 or SMAP! Are they some really obscure bands, or did I just miss something?

I listen to J-Rock. I mainly got into it through my interest in anime, to be honest, since so much of it is on anime soundtracks and such. I don't really know where the genre lines fall between J-rock and J-pop, so I'm not sure which artists I've listened to fit the genre you mentioned. A friend got me started with L'arc~en~ciel and Dir en Grey, and later I listened to Gackt and some others. I don't really know the names of all the artists I've listened to, since some of them have just been from anime soundtracks. So I suppose I'm not really much of an avid fan, though I do listen to Japanese music a lot. ;P

Well really, a lot of music in anime tends to be J-pop, but there are the occasional rock songs in there. All the same, Dir en grey is definitely rock, and L'arc~en~ciel is rock too. Gackt can be known to come out with some happy pop stuff, but it's only the good kind (I love Gackt's music!)

Thanks for clearing me up on that. :) Hehe, I have a playlist of Gackt music on my computer that is like 7 hours long. So I guess I really like Gackt too. :P

I love J-Rock and J-Pop. Heh, I even like some J-Rap. The GazettE is one of my favorite bands! Gackt and Malice Mizer is what got me started into J-Music, that and the themes to Inuyasha. Some of my favorite artists are Miyavi, The GazettE, Mika Nakashima, Arashi, OLIVIA, Ali Project, Ayabie, 12012, Dir en Grey, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Due'le Quartz, and An Cafe.
