The only J-Rock band I even remotely care about is The Pillows.

I'll admit to liking some of MUCC's and Gazette's works.  |

Ever since I started playing the Goemon series, I've had a great amount of respect for Japanese culture, including music. I'm sure many anime, manga and video game fans share a similar story.
I especially enjoy the song Sukiyaki, and various anime and video game theme songs, including Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump.

Can anyone say "Anata no Kaze ga Fuku Kara", the ending theme of RockMan DASH 1?  I love instrumental music better than vocal music for some reason, so I love a lot of video game soundtracks. Top three include the soundtracks for Valkyria Chronicles, Persona 4, and Persona 3. My two favorite vocal songs of all time are "Never More" from Persona 4 and "Kimi no Kioku" from Persona 3. Do those count? Looking at the English translation of the lyrics, I gotta say, "Never More" is the most meaningful song I've ever listened to, and "Kimi no Kioku" is probably the only song that makes me look back at all that happened in Persona 3. Also, I like a lot of Utada Hikaru's songs, partly thanks to my first exposure to her through Kingdom Hearts. My favorite song of hers so far is "Beautiful World", which is also the theme of the new Rebuild of Evangelion movies. |

I like a lot of japanese singers and groups, some of there are:
Showtaro Morikubo (me too), Gackt, Ayumi Hamasaki (she sings "Rule" Theme of "Dragonball: Evolution" movie), Orange Range (Bleach 1° opening "Asterisk"), Nobodyknows+ (Naruto Shippuden 1° op. "Hero´s Comeback"), Stance Punks (Naruto 6? op. "No Boy, no cry", Soul Eater 1° ending "I Wanna Be"), Da Pump (Captain Tsubasa op. "Dragon Screamer"), Sambomaster (Naruto 5° op. "Seishun Kyousoukyoku"), Yuzo Koshiro, Flair (Namco X Capcom theme "Subarashiki Shin Sekai"), Home Made Kazoku (Naruto Shippuden 1° ending "Nagareboshi") and a lot more, i have a folder with at least 140 j-music, so if you ask me: Yes, i love japanese music. ;D
With the exception of some american music like Zebrahead, (who i know from "His World" of Sonic the Hedgehog (next gen), that counts?) i only hear japanese music all the time.

Wow, this is a lot of Japanese artists I've never heard of before. I should get to looking them up on youtube, when I have the time that is. To Rockbuster: I've never heard any of the Legends series vocal songs; if I wasn't on my father's laptop right now, I'd go and download them from the site. Also, I love Utada Hikaru's voice. I've only heard the songs she's done for the Kingdom Hearts series, though. I prefer the english "Simple And Clean" to it's japanese version, but the japanese "Passion" is so much better than it's english remake, "Sanctuary". Do you know of a link I could get to some of her other works? To Rockman Juno: Yes! Someone else who knows about Showtaro. I like quite a few Gackt songs myself (I was introduced to the band by Dirge of Cerberus); White Eyes is one of his best imo. Asterisk by Orange Range is a good song, but the other two tracks I have by the band are nothing special. And Zebrahead? I've got their amazing His World song also, as well as the hilarious "I Hate Christmas" and "Playmate Of the Year". Their other tracks though I don't find particularly good, though I sometimes find myself singing "Hate" everyone now and then. Alright, now to post another vid. This is the theme song to one of the best video games of all time, Viewtiful Joe! The song is by Do As Infinity, and they rock: Viewtiful World - www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbS2gbhAbbk |

I saw the video of Viewtiful World, i like it, i´m gonna download that song later. Legendaryemerald: I meet Gackt for "longing" too. I didn´t heared that Zebrahead songs, some of my favorites are "Mental Health" and "Lighting Rod" I´m starting to put links to videos too: This is from Orange Range, it´s one of the most strange music videos i saw "Onegai Señorita": www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QaXCWS3x74Home made kazoku, Shounen Hearth (or young´s heath) www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPjBltT1KboNobodyknows+, Hero´s comeback: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppm0VzxSWgYI´ll put others later. |

To Rockbuster: I've never heard any of the Legends series vocal songs; if I wasn't on my father's laptop right now, I'd go and download them from the site. Well, here are the openings and endings to both games: another sun: RockMan DASH opening theme Anata no Kaze ga Fuku Kara: RockMan DASH ending theme, and my favorite vocal song in the series. Negai ga Kanau Basho: RockMan DASH 2 opening theme Naite Ii Yo: RockMan DASH 2 ending theme Also, I love Utada Hikaru's voice. I've only heard the songs she's done for the Kingdom Hearts series, though. I prefer the english "Simple And Clean" to it's japanese version, but the japanese "Passion" is so much better than it's english remake, "Sanctuary". Do you know of a link I could get to some of her other works? As for Utada, here's Beautiful World, with Evangelion 1.0: You Are (NOT) Alone as the AMV. And here are a few other of her songs that I like: This is Love, to the opening of the anime, Freedom. Sakura DropsColors |

Hey, I got another band for 'yalls. Spinwake: You may know them as the band who performed the vocal theme song to Irregular Hunter X (Maverick Hunter X in other territories). They haven't released many songs other than that, but they are all definatly worth listening to. Here are three of the four songs I've got on my mp3 player. Don't Wanna Be - www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hIM3Ef5K5UInspite - www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYlgUiz6YNwSearch Light - www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI_rP_zJxfk Also, I just checked wikipedia and noticed that I'm missing the last THREE High and Mighty Color cd's! How did that happen?! I doubt if anyone would, but does anyone have the links to them? |
