Does it really matter into what genre it fits best? Will it change your opinion if you can categorize it? It comes down to your taste, if you like it good, if you don't then move on. These arguments are pointless, modern music can't really be put into well-defined genres like before anymore, especially when it comes to rock/metal and all the endless sub-genres, obviouslly there are clear boundries between major genres and exceptions, but almost all music tends to borrow elements that are considered to be distinctive of a particular genre. Not to mention music evolves over time so the sound of what was once called metalcore can't be the same today, music isn't that stagnant, otherwise we wouldn't have so much diversity in music. Everything is IMO.

I like Merry and OOR from your list though I can't say I enjoy OOR slower songs that much. Never been a fan of kagerou or kuroyume. Checked Million Dead and Birds in Row since they were the only ones I didn't knew but unfortunately didn't like them xD. REDMAN - Challenge the GAME Base Ball Bear - kodoku no synthesizer supercell - 復讐 (Fukushuu) Lycaon - Alejandro 陰陽座 - 相剋 (Onmyo-za - Soukoku) Aqua Timez - 一瞬の塵 (Isshun no Chiri) 澤野弘之 - The Reluctant Heroes (Sawano Hiroyuki - The Reluctant Heroes) Galneryus - Hunting For Your Dream CROW'SCLAW - Requiem HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR - TOXIC Love BBB, could listen to their songs endlessly. HaMC were my favourite japanese band and one of the first I ever listened to so it was a pleasant surprise to listen again to them. IMO a decent list, a touhou related song, supercell, onmyo-za and galneryus, I mean how can you not like galneryus? xD

I only like KAMIJO a bit, nonetheless it's still a nice list. I don't think these bands are the right ones to introduce someone to J-Rock or to give them an idea of how it generally sounds like, personally I'd go with the more mainstream ones at first since they are guaranteed to appeal at least to some degree to most people. ギルガメッシュ - 終わりと未来 (girugamesh - Owari to Mirai) Gacharic Spin - NEXT STAGE 家入レオ - サブリナ (Leo Ieiri - Sabrina) 鈴木このみ n' キバオブアキバ - 私がモテないのはどう考えてもお前らが悪い (Konomi Suzuki n' Kiba of Akiba - Watashi ga motenai no wa dou kangaetemo omaera ga warui) 버스커 버스커 - 네온사인 (Busker Busker - Neon Sign) I-RabBits - 未来地図 (Mirai Chizu) MAN WITH A MISSION - Bubble of Life Kagrra, - 契 (Chigiri) SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] - Keep on keeping on Three Days Grace - Time of Dying I miss this band, nostalgia dictated this pick. A decent list with a bit of everything.

B'z - IT'S SHOWTIME!! I instantly knew it was a B'z song though I couldn't recall the title so I skimmed through a few of their songs to find it xD.

This is what we've been waiting for for years, they finally managed to pull their heads out of their asses.

I know almost all the bands but I don't listen to any of them. Never in a thousand years would I listen to Shania Twain xD. BLOOD STAIN CHILD - LAST STARDUST 放課後ティータイム - Unmei♪wa♪Endless! (Houkago Tea Time) Cyntia - カルマ (Karma) UNDEAD CORPORATION - 葬 (Hafuri) 電気式華憐音楽集団 - B.M.S. (Denkishiki Karen Ongaku Shuudan) 鹿乃 - サイノウサンプラー (Kano - Sainou Sampler) UVERworld - 激動 (AwakEVE ver.) (Gekidou) UVERworld - AWAYOKUBA-斬る (Awayokuba-kiru) 妖精帝國 - Sacrifice (Yousei Teikoku) 放課後ティータイム - GO! GO! MANIAC (Houkago Tea Time) Well it seems my phone loves uverworld and houkago tea time xD. Gonna go with awayokuba. I think it's one of their best songs. Honorable mention for BSC and UC. Haven't listened to Houkago in quite some time, doing this shuffle thing just made me remember how much fun I had watching the anime and listening to the songs.

umbrella and ando (?) are the only ones I've never heard of. Used to listen to BFMV a lot but at a certain point I kinda just stopped following the band, then I went to listen to their lastest album and I concluded they were pretty much done for. I don't really like TDWP and neither Opeth. I love DIR EN GREY and I occasionally listen to the other bands. Hello Sleepwalkers - Bloody Mary the GazettE - AGONY ONE OK ROCK - カゲロウ (Kagerou) きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ - インベーダーインベーダー (Invader Invader) serial TV drama - 桃源郷エイリアン (Tougenkyou Alien) AKB48 - 制服が邪魔をする (Seihuku ga Jama wo Suru) Base Ball Bear - スクランブル (Scramble) SCANDAL - 太陽と君が描く (Taiyou to Kimi ga Egaku) BLOOD STAIN CHILD - LA+ MONKEY MAJIK - Angel A few old songs this time like AGONY and Kagerou and also some you wouldn't want many people to find out you listen to. Nothing really stands out so I'm gonna go with Scramble. It has a groovy and catchy feel to it making me to want to listen to it many times over.

Sad news is sad. Was hoping for a new album sometime next year, guess the wait will be very long.

^ went and checked your favourite pick and I gotta say it's a really nice song, can't say I quite like the others though, maybe MERRY a bit. Always hated ADTR for some reason xD. LAST ALLIANCE - Time-Lag-Cloud Perfume - GLITTER (Album-mix) GIRL'S DAY - 기대해 (Expectation) 和楽器バンド - 千本桜 (Senbonzakura) YUI - Ready to love UNLIMITS - カナシミノセカイ (Kanashimi no sekai) TK from 凛として時雨 - unravel (TK from Ling Tosite Sigure) RADWIMPS - 揶揄 (Yayu) RADWIMPS - ハイパーベンチレイション (Hyperventilation) ONE OK ROCK - Nothing Helps It was really hard to choose a favourite this time. I really like Wagakki Band's arrange of Senbonzakura. Tokyo Ghoul's OP really surprised me, was obsessed with the song for a few days xD. Hyperventilation is such a fun song, should've have been an album track and not a b-side. My least favourite would be GIRL'S DAY and Perfume's song, I prefer other songs from Perfume xD.

^ While I do know almost all those bands they kinda don't appeal to me that much xD. Can't say anything since I do not listen to them. RADWIMPS - One man live ゲスの極み乙女。 - パラレルスペック (Gesu no Kiwami Otome. - Parallel speck) 雅-MIYAVI- - STRONG (vs KREVA) いきものがかり - 青春のとびら (Ikimono-gakari - Seishun no Tobira) abingdon boys school - 潮騒 (Shiosai) supercell - ロックンロールなんですの (Rock'n'Roll na desu no) 陰陽座 - 小袖の手 (Onmyo-za - Kosode no Te) B'z - イチブトゼンブ (Ichibu to Zenbu) ONE OK ROCK - Notes'n'Words AFTERSCHOOL - Dilly Dally Onmyo-za awesomeness. This is one of my favourite songs from them, slow-paced and melodic, gets me everytime. My least favourite has to be ONE OK ROCK's ballad, never liked their slower songs that much.

Does anyone know bands similar to DenkiShiki Karen Ongaku Shuudan?

This is actually pretty good.

^ Oh yeah, RADWIMPS. One of my favourite bands, on the other hand can't say I'm a fan of timberlake xD. Nano keeps releasing great songs as usual xD. Used to listen to a lot of k-pop until about a year ago but I gradually to distance myself from k-pop. I still follow the k-pop scene, mainly the mainstream groups, but only usually watch just the videos, therefore I have no idea who are those groups/artists listed xD. First time hearing about twin cross and the other bands are just okayish for me. EPIK HIGH - One (feat. 지선) AKB48 - スカート、ひらり (Skirt Hirari) 花たん - 独りんぼエンヴィー (Hanatan - Hitoribo Envy) UVERworld - Home 微熱39℃ (Home Binetsu 39℃) Black Raison d'être - INSIDE IDENTITY ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - 遥か彼方 (Haruka Kanata) HOME MADE 家族 - RISE & SHINE (HOME MADE KAZOKU) coldrain - CHASING DREAMS ギルガメッシュ - 嘘 (girugamesh - uso) 妖精帝國 - 神剣乱舞 (Yousei Teikoku - Shinken Ranbu) Haruka Kanata because it always makes me reminisce about the past, makes me nostalgic of the years I started to get into anime and japanese music, not to mention it's so catchy and raw xD. I do listen to the infamous AKB48 and I like anime OPs and EDs a lot (know these songs tend to get a fair amount of hate).

For the past 2 weeks or so I've been listening a lot to Denki Shiki Karen Ongaku Shuudan, Yousei Teikoku and Kishida Kyoudan & The Akeboshi Rockets.

ONE OK ROCK, their songs just appeal more to me; they are catchier and I think their arrangements are more polished and refined even though they may not be as technical or aggressive as MFS's. While I do like MFS, lately I think that they started to go downhill, that is since they begun to release singles, and epecially the latest one. It feels like they are trying too hard. One thing I don't like is Hiro's english because it's just bad; they should stick with japanese lyrics. Taka's english is so much better. There are times when I kinda find Hiro's voice to be annoying, a little too "girlish", but obviously this is subjective. Overall I'd say Taka and OOR are one step above in every aspect.

Can't wait. Will get the blu-ray for gorgeous hd suzuhana.

Is he leaving the band? https://twitter.com/IKESPYAIR at least that's what he wrote on his twitter profile. I think "SPYAIR wo yamemasu!" can't be interpreted in any other way.

If you don't play it for a certain amount of time you will never like it. For me it's just pure fun. Sure it may not be a perfect game seeing as the comunity sucks, there are server problems on a daily basis, skills don't always matter and it feels unbalanced a lot of times. Playing alone with strangers has it's limits, this gets several times more fun when playing with friends, specially if you play custom maches. Planning strategies, farming, buying items, choosing the right champion, ranks, speed reaction, decision making, several game modes (some for a limited time), once you start to get the hang of things you can't turn back. And yes you can make money, but you can't expect to see money coming in your pockets just because you installed the game. You have to get good and make it to the high divisions and the only way to do that is play, A LOT. As with all games you will get tired of it eventually.

I play pretty much every day. No ranked matches for me this season. Main account: EUW: SwampMan Secondary account: EUNE: SwampMan

I'm in my second year of university and studying languages . I'm learning japanese, chinese and obviously english. I'm also bilingual therefore I speak perfectly both italian and romanian. With these many languages I really hope I can find a decent job once I finish my studies. Still have 3 years left *dies inside*
