Okay, I need some good J-Rock bands! When I like a few songs by a band I go and grab their discography hoping it won't let me down. Bands I've liked thus far...

X-Japan
Gackt
Nightmare

English bands I like (If this would help)

Symphony X
Kamelot
Nightwish
Dream Theater
EPICA
Within Temptation
Age of Nemesis
Vanden Plas
(And anything you'd hear on a rock station on the radio. However, most of these bands I listen to only on the radio.)

List Contin...

Plastic Tree:
Tetris
Utsusemi
Kuuchuu Buranko
Aoi tori
Namae no nai hana
Sanbika
Ghost
Hate Red dip it
Suisai
-Plastic Tree stand out because of their singer who's voice can be as soft and mellow or as hard and corse as he wants, Tetris would be a great example to see how he can switch easily, or Kuuchuu Buranko hear his mellow/soft voice that puts feeling and meaning into the song.

Gazette:
Cassis
Toguro
Kare Uta
Back drop junkie
Anata no tame no
Crucify Sorrow
-Great band, and just like those in Dir en Grey they love to wear tons of make up, especially the lead singer who often in some of the music videos looks like a masculine chick ><

Dir en Grey:
Inconvenient Ideal
Glass skin
Mushi
Kodou
Drain away
Shiikureta haru
-See Gazette

L' Arc en Ciel:
Kasou
Shinsoku
Link
Killing me
Niji
-See Dir en Grey minus some of the makeup

Yui:
Rolling Star
Life
I remember
Tokyo
-Her voice sounds incredibly natural which is great for a change, best thing not all her songs are damn upbeat which in my book is a really great thing.

Koda Kumi:
Take back
Color
-I got an assumption she loves to show off her hips since she always seem to be belly dancing in the DVD that came with the CD, anyway it could use some work lol, anyway nice singing voice and nice music vids

Namie Amuro:
Queen of hip hop
Chase
No more tears
White light

I really don't have a preference when it comes to music just whatever can hook me, one thing I can say for sure though is I usually hate incredibly high spirited aka a ton of godamn synthesizers in a song ie.... Musumes aruite I can't stand that band at all then again they're not geared towards my audience lol. I don't dislike all like that but the majority I do.

Theres a song in the comment, i've been trying to figure out the song title and artist and it seems so familiar....

There is a band that I absolutely ADORE!!

The band consists of two singers actually. The band is called, "ON/OFF" and the singers names are Naoya Sakamoto & Kazuya Sakamoto. They are a pair of very cute and talented twins.

If you have never heard of them and want to hear some of their stuff then the first song I recommend you listen to is ,"Futatsu no Kodou to Akai Tsumi". Its absolutely stunning in every way. Some other incredible songs they sing are, "Rondo (Rinne -Rondo-)", "Asayake", "Signal" and a few others. They havent got that many out at the moment coz they are just starting off in their careers. My absolute favourite out of their list of songs is a beautiful one called, "Eien no Setsuna"

These guys perform with so much passion and they feel evey lyric they sing and that comes through to the audience. I highly recommend these guys!

After reading a lot of the recommended artists the name Gackt appears a lot... I must be the only person here who doesn't really like him beyond 3 songs >.<

I feel so alone on this one lol
