Thank you so much for the recommendations! It's going to take some time to get through this list xD

I do! i have listened to Concerto Moon before but none of the others, thanks for the list i'll get to them

I haven't! thanks for the link

Thanks for the reply! Old school stuff mostly, I'm really behind on new stuff. Girugamesh, Dir en Grey, Malice Mizer, Gazette, Maximum the Hormone, Mucc, Gakt, Versailles

Heya everyone, I joined the community a while ago but I kinda just lurk because I don't really know how to get involved in the community. It seems really great and I'm super happy to be a part of it, and I want to get more involved and get to know people! XD I wasn't sure how so I figured maybe I could start by asking for Jrock/metal/any Japanese music really recommendations. I've always liked Jrock/metal/pop you name it, I just felt I've barely scratched the surface and everyone here seems to know so much more than I do so anything would be really appreciated! Thank you XD

Welcome to heaven

nice ill try and hop on then

These are awesome! thank you very much

Nice, didn't realize these were probably already a thing xD

I need some help people, my musical collection is stagnating. I haven't had too many new bands to listen to in a long time so I ask you for your assistance! List some bands (new or old) to listen to in the J-Rock genre (or metal in general, or any genre if you feel they are awesome sauce) and maybe a brief description of their musical stylings. Hugs and thanks in advance

Heya! Welcome to the Forum! I've never listened to those bands (don't hurt me) but I will now! I'm gunna go listen to them now

Sweet ill start making a playlist and hop on when i can.

It's okay it kind of sets itself up everytime

Thank you, I really appreciate the warm welcome from everyone!

Hi everyone! I've never posted on a forum before so here goes! I go by ghata, I'm a 25-year-old guy from California. I work in the family business as an ISP. I got into Japanese music when I started watching anime when I was 13 listening to all the intro and closing songs! I like just about any genre of music but VK is definitely my favourite. My favourite bands are Versailles, Girugamesh, Dir en Grey, The Gazette, and many more! If I'm not listening to music I'm trying to play it on guitar (and hopefully piano and violin one day) I also practice Wing Chun(kung fu) when i can. I play lots of video games and watch any anime I can get my hands on. I always wanted to find a community of other people who liked Japanese music as much as I did that I could talk to, and I'm really excited about this forum! Thanks for reading! Please feel free to message me anytime
