| The J-rock Thread Thought Id bring you all something many of you have not seen, J-rock and J-pop (which stands for Japan).. These bands are often unknown outside of Japan because ... well.. they sing in Japanese! But there are amazing bands and styles seen in Japan and I thought id bring you some Feel free to post your favorite Japanese band or song if you have one too! First up: Dir en Grey

 It's a shame their voices were overproduced in the studio because they have a wild, raw, buzzcocks kind of feel about them when performing live. Also, nobody mentioned the 5.6.7.8's yet? Wat? M.O.V.E. are my absolute favourite J-Pop/J-Rock band. I have all their singles and albums up to late 2007, and all of their videos (more than are available at YouTube). Not sure what's going on in that video. Are they trying to smash their way out of a hotel being circled by helilcopters after an earthquake?  And of course, Takako Minekawa is an eccentric J-Electro god.  | |
