Oh really? Well that's cool, because I'm gonna keep updating this forum with new releases from all sorts of different artists, I hope my internet goes faster though, I spent three hours last night uploading Poitrine's new single, which is only three songs, lol. But yeah, I'll upload some of the GazettE's new singles. They're pretty good.

I don't know, their PV's don't do as much for me. I'm not really a big fan of the PV's where the band just stands around and plays, which is like every Japanese PV, lol. That's why I like Dir en grey so much, lol. xD But yeah, "Reila" is a really good song, probably my second favorite. Nothing beats out "Cassis" that song is just amazing, lol. I love it, and I saw this video of them playing it live, and it was so beautiful, and since Aoi has the last solo, and it fades out in the song, he like does this really awesome ending in the live, lol. It's so awesome!! xD And Original Saku, you should check out some of their new singles, I'll post some if you're interested.

Poitrine - ??? I'm addicted, lol.

Billy Has anyone listened to Billy before? They're kind of different, but they're really good. I'm currently looking for their new mini-album it was released at the end of Feburary, when I find it, I'll post it, maybe I'll upload some of their older work too, if anyone is interested.

Good song. D'espairsRay - SQUALL

What do you have? I have their discography. I uploaded "roaring in the dark". It's in the download section now, it's a two song single it has: - roaring in the dark - stuck pain Real good, I highly suggest it, if you don't have that single already.

Poitrine I just got their new single, "Freeze Theme Park" and it was really good. I have listened to them before, and I didn't really like them as much, it's an aquired taste. But yeah, I kind of want to try them out again, because I really did like the new single, I'll be sure to post it later. Has anyone else ever listened to Poitrine before?

Poitrine - ???

Part 1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=28hXb9N9QUI Part 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0MDLMtBo6I4 Part 3: http://youtube.com/watch?v=hTOy6NpY_ME Part 4: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DT5PyEWw_yQ Ok anyway, back on topic. So does anyone even know if Miyavi is officially in this band. I read that he announced he was going to tour the US and Europe this year to next year too.

If you're interested in listening to more, I've posted their first mini-album and their new album in the download section. All my songs are tagged in unicode, so I have no idea what song that is, but I'm guessing it's off their mini-album, since their album just came out this past week. But yeah, you should give a listen to their new album, I'm impressed.

The GazettE Is anyone a fan of the GazettE? I never really liked them too much, I had Disorder and another CD, and I have NIL. But their new singles have impressed me, all of them. Even the other tracks on the CD were good, like "Crucity Sorrow" one of my favorites. But my all-time favorite by them is, "Cassis" one of my all-time favorites. I have to admit I'm pretty excited about their "STACKED RUBBISH" album.

Yeah Miyavi is really goofy. I was going to watch the videos of him playing in Las Vegas, but YouTube loads so slow and I loaded the first part and he didn't even really play he was too busy goofing around, lol.

Megamasso Has anyone listened to Megamasso yet? I posted their first mini-album in the download section. Their second one was just released this past week, it's actually a lot better than the first one. I'm starting to like them more. Edit: Posted the new album in the downloads section.

???? - ?????????

RADWIMPS Has anyone else ever heard of RADWIMPS before? I just found out about them, my friend showed me an AMV with one of their songs. It was really cool, they remind me of Asian Kung-Fu Generation, which I like. I'm getting one of their CD's now, I'll upload later. But yeah, I guess they're a major band. Check them out here. http://www.myspace.com/radwimpsss

Marusa - Betsuro

heidi. Has anyone ever listented to heidi. before? They're a really great band. I like them a lot, I have their discography, I believe they have a full-legnth album coming out soon though. They have some amazing songs though, like "Hakuchumuu" is one of my favorite songs, the opening guitar riff is just so catchy. They're a little too soft for me though, almost jazzy or something. I don't know. I'll upload some later though.

So what does everyone think of Yoshiki's "Ultimate Band". So far supposedily the line up is: - Yoshiki (X-Japan) - Gackt (Malice Mizer, Solo) - Sugzio (Luna Sea, The Flare) And I also just heard that Miyavi is part of it now. I'm not sure if that is true though, because it's not from the most reliable source. But anyway, even if Miyavi joined up with them, that wouldn't do anything for me. Yoshiki is really cool, because he got the TRAX together, he also produced "Gauze" for Dir en grey, which was an amazing album, and I think he put together one more band that's really good, but besides that he doesn't really do much for me. Gackt, he was one of the guys that got me into J-rock, but I don't really like Malice Mizer, nor his solo stuff. Sugzio, LUNA SEA was all right, they had a couple good songs, and the Flare was pretty cool, but I like FAKE? better. And as for Miyavi, I don't know he just looks cool, but besides that and his goofy attitude, he's nothing real special, so yeah.

What song are you listening to? SID - Re:Dreamer

Hey, I was wondering if anyone else was a fan of lynch. I've been listening to them for a while, they're one of my favorites. Hazuki might be my favorite vocalist, I love his voice. They have two mini-albums, and a bunch of singles. They also have a new full legnth album coming out in April. I'm very excited. I'll be posting some uploads of lynch. later on. What does everyone else think of lynch.?

"... and to the end" is a good single. "Ringing" is probably my favorite -OZ- song. I love the opening riff. I'll upload some other -OZ- for you later.

Out of all the music groups you listen to in general, or Japanese?

So who all listens to Dir en grey? I'm pretty sure everyone has or does. When I was getting into j-rock, I first started off on Dir en grey as well, "-saku-" was the song that caught my attention, back when I thought I was hardcore. I like Dir en grey, but they're definately not my favorite. They did do an amazing live though. What does everyone else think of Dir en grey?

I've been a fan of D'espairsRay for a couple years now. I have their entire discography and videography. SQUALL is their newest release (until Mirror). Recently D'espairsRay has changed up in style, "Kogoeru Yoru ni Saita Hana" was the first song to show this change. Now they're slightly poppy, but still good. Just not as hardcore. "SQUALL" was just like "Kogoeru Yoru ni Saita Hana" but I think I like it better. "Desert" was more like classic D'espairsRay, more hardcore but still catchy. And "Screen" was like a ballad, which I didn't like as much, but I guess Ito does, lol. Overall I think the single is amazing, "SQUALL" is beautiful, and the PV for it is just as good, it was very well done. What does everyone else think of this single?

Has anyone ever listened to -OZ- before? They're seriously one of my favorite bands. I know I'm going to say that about a lot of bands, but I truely mean it about -OZ-, they have yet to really dissapoint me with a release. So far all their songs have been excellent, but "Adam's Apple" was a slight dissapointment, after a re-listen, I realized that "Azalea" wasn't as bad as I remembered, but I still don't really like "End Roll". Anyway, they have their first mini-album coming out this year, I'm excited!! How about you guys?
