Thanks uhm am i mistaken or is Gackt in GazettE?

My favorite bands are Asian Kung-Fu Generation, BACK-ON, FLOW, and KELUN.

I also like Hikaru Utada. She was the first Japanese artist I've listened to and followed.

HIGHLY mistaken.

Gackt is a soloist but was part of Malice Mizer for sometime. The current singer is Mana.

I am not a fan of Gackt. But I will let you choose if you like him.

i thought i was mistaken... now i feel bad ^^'

@Aeronaut:
Miyavi's singing makes me wince, to be honest. :sweat: TMR is awesome. I like a lot of UVERworld's songs, but too much of their discography sounds incredibly similar, imho.

I'd love to go to a S.K.I.N. concert. *__*


And just because I'm addicted to this song right now...

oh i LOVE Japanese music one that i got from my last AI manga book came with a cd i added it to my i tunes library and gave the CD to my Boyfriend Joe he is in the army i miss him like crazy he is hopefully getting out soon. Some of thr songs were Kissing Viloet Feel the Disease and 100 times till we can Warre Kore Hyaku Tabisu. and many more...

@Luenola
That song is awesome. <3
I'm going to be replaying that for ages now.

I understand where you're coming from with Miyavi. Some of his songs make me wince sometimes as well. xD;

I'm so sad I missed S.K.I.N when they were at the Anime Expo in California. Going to a S.K.I.N concert is probably my biggest dream right now, IF they ever tour again. Yoshiki, Gackt, Miyavi and Sugizo all in one band. <3

Another one from them:


There is also the Orgel instrumental version of that here, which is awesome.

I heard Phantasmagoria recently disbanded though, which makes me so sad! :cry:

I know! I was so sad that I couldn't go to Anime Expo 2007 because I don't live in California! I hope they go somewhere I can travel to next time! S.K.I.N. is such a J-rock fangirl's dream come true, seriously.

Also, I'm currently looking at pictures of Versailles, and they're such a pretty band, lol. And now I have to go get their discography because this song has sold me:

maximum the hormone and orange range are my two favorites :]

I agree 100%. He should have just been a guitarist. Not a singer.

Exactly. His music usually isn't bad at all, but every time he starts to sing, I decide I can't stick with the song. :lol: You have no idea how thoroughly glad I am that Gackt's the one doing the vocals for S.K.I.N.

I LOVE JAPANESE MUSIC!!!
it's awesome!!

i have soo many bands/artists that i like.it's hard to keep track.lolz. and i can't wait to go to Japan someday!!
^__^

I like Uverworld, some Malice Mizer, Dir en Grey, some stuff of Yoko Kanno's and Orange Range.
I recommend Uverworld, and Yoko Kanno. Dir en Grey are also good.

me too. I don't like a lo to Gackt's music but at least he can sing.

My favorite Japanese band has to be X Japan, hair metal all the way lol

I also like Yuko Sasaki, she has such a beautiful voice.

I have a short list of what I've heard from Gackt that I enjoy. I don't dislike the rest, usually, but they're kinda...meh. XD"

Last Song, Mizerable, Love Letter, Tsuki no Uta, Kimi ni Aitakute, No ni Saku Hana no you ni, Returner ~Yami no Shuuen~, 12gatsu no Love Song, Vanilla and Orenji no Taiyou. I think that's most of it, off the top of my head. XD"

My favorites would have to be:

Moi dix Mois
GPKISM
Malice Mizer
Versailles ~Philharmonic Quintet~
Schwarz Stein

My Friend told me about called Dir and Grey.

Dir en Grey's old stuff is good.
Anything after Withering to Death is a sham.

@tsu oh cool. I should listen to more of there music then. :hug:

I recommend the VULGAR album

and the songs "I'll" and "Yokan" - which are singles ^-^

Okay thanks I have to check them out. :cool:

So far, I think Cage, Yokan and Glass Skin have been good from Dir en Grey. I haven't liked much of what I've heard from them, personally, but I'll check out the VULGAR album too.

@fated raison detre:
The only one I haven't heard is GPKISM, and I approve of Moi Dix Mois and Versailles. =D They're lovely. Schwarz Stein is pretty good, but I'm not the biggest fan of trance music, so they didn't stay on my playlist for long. It kinda makes me wonder what Kaya is doing now.

I also approve of DuelJewel

And Ruvie - though they are disbanded...

My favorite are:

Gackt
Malice Mizer
L'arc~en~ceil
Psyco le cemu
Moi dix mois
Dir en grey
AILE
An Cafe
Phantasmagoria
Hide
Miyavi
Orange Range
T.M. Revolution
Nami Tamaki
Utada Hikaru
The Candy Spooky Theater

There are more, but can't think of them right now and I can't remember the actual name, so I don't want to look like an idiot.
