I'm pretty much sold on this.

hey, it worked for plastic tree when they ripped off radiohead, nirvana & mew themselves ;^)

mongol800 sounds like some model of vacuum cleaner sold at as seen on tv in early 00s

Pollicino (little thumb) it's the italian name for Hop-o'-My-Thumb.  8 out of 10 times I stumble in their name I read it as Anti Pollicino.

What about "La'mule"?  I was never able to take it seriously... I think about a donkey xD   there's also "Anli Pollicino", sounds like a disease name..  "Cocklobin" is definitely embarrassing as previously mentioned lol ," Mongol800" is very random too,  there's "LEGO BIG MORL" wth is this name, maybe they are lego fans? xD
and "LUV'ra-Doll" I don't even know what to say about this one, just plain strange.. hehe

Of course there are, here I am hehehe one of the biggest fans I guess?   following Kirito steadily since around 1996-97.
 
My confession is that I dislike X Japan.. not interested at all in them.

Actually, recently I've been remembering Janne Da Arc a lot and listening to their old works lol so I found the revival of this post a nice coincidence xD  I was a huge fan back when they were active, it was one of my favorite bands and it was a shock for me when they disbanded. For years I've been trying to like what Yasu does as solo works, which I find okay in most cases, but for me it's not in the level of epicness of the songs released when he was in JDA; and I feel so sad about such wonderful songs not being in a decent quality concert since they haven't done any reunions nor anything T_T  sigh.
 
Well, besides that, about the songs, I love the early works, Dearly is a great album, my favorite song there is "闇の月をあなたに…" the guitar solo and overall feeling of this song is simply amazing, I like "Speed" very much too. Chaos Mode mini album also has great songs, my favorites there are "...song" and "strange voice"; and then D.N.A album was a masterpiece.. my favorite there is "EDEN ～君がいない～" this song I know it by heart, I guess I have listened to it a LOT o times.. xD and "Heaven's Place" is my second favorite there, and finally Z-HARD I love very much too.. my absolute favorite there is "Mysterious" so nostalgic..  really having a dedicated keyboardist on a band brings a totally different feeling to the music, maybe this is what Yasu solo works lacks.
 
If anyone is interested, You (former guitarist of JDA) is performing as special guest in a concert in April (4/7) together with YUKI (ex-rice, ex-Raphael) and Sakito (Nightmare), I didn't even know what You was doing recently, but since I follow YUKI I was very shocked to see him listed as guest artist 🙂 good for him to still be engaged in music activities. Kiyo (former keyboardist of JDA) is also very active in support works, and I've seen him in the Keyboards magazine together with Daisuke Asakura ^^ he has important and famous friends at least lol   and about Yasu, I got to know very recently about his hiatus due to cervical damage T_T I hope he gets better

I still love them ❤️ 
Labyrinth is probably my favorite indies song of them. Also MISTAKE is awesome ❤️
I really hope we will get at least a reunion concert or something.
 
They still have the same fanclub and all members are credited as (Janne Da Arc) not (ex. Janne Da Arc) 
Little things I know but I still have hope

Finally a live release from RAZOR!! I was waiting for this so much, the niconico concert was great, we really need some RAZOR concert in decent quality xD  too bad about the Limited edition, but the regular edition is very easy to get, it's already available in HMV for preorders, I already preordered mine ^^  I can live without the photobook and the live cds 

I just discovered these guys, and I'm pleasantly surprised! I haven't really tried them till now because I didn't like BORN whatsoever when they were around (especially the vocals), but somehow the singer's perfectly okay here. The instrumentals are really competent too, not overdoing the heaviness, it's just a good balance all around. The songs are pretty neat/fun and there are actual memorable riffs, which is always a plus, lol.
 
Listening to their stuff in reverse-chronological order and haven't heard anything I particularly dislike, so gonna keep an eye on them from now on. ^^

I second the hate for most colorful bands. Can't stand them, especially An Cafe. I also can't stand X Japan. Their music isn't terrible, but their fans treat them like the second coming of jesus when in reality they sound just like any other western 80's metal band. This triggers a special kind of annoyance whenever I hear them. Also I hate Versailles and anything Kamijo does. 
 

Yassss we need more razor appreciation 

Right now from the new VK bands, I am very interested in RAZOR right now, I love their sound and almost everything that they have released so far has been very nice to me, I like The Thirteen too, and I'm super excited about the Alice in Menswear project.  I will check out some of the new bands mentioned hear that I haven't listened to yet.

Angelo is the best band ever at least in my opinion, they are amazing in concert, they will never repeat a setlist in any performance, so it's great to experience their concerts. They usually do a nationwide tour around the middle of the year, it was announced already, so maybe they will go to Hiroshima, I hope you have the opportunity to see them. In regards to their albums since Karyu/Giru joined, the style changed a lot, and Karyu is the main composer right now, the latest album RESONANCE is a masterpiece.

Oh, I like where this is going. I have a ton, but here a couple of really safe picks that I need to name:
 
the GOAT
X has a ton of really, really memorable solos, but this is my favorite.
 
X - Silent Jealousy
 
 
One of my all time favorites. Kouichi is a GOD. Don't ever forget it.
 
Laputa - Breath
 
PIMP SUGIZO THE GAWD
 
SUGIZO - SUPER LOVE
 
and lastly (oooooh, I should have included LASTLY...)
 
 
華月 gives us a solo to remember in lost graduation
