J-Rock

[angelofthedead]

Does anyone here besides me listen to J-Rock? I've been wondering. If so, who are your favorite artists?

[omgitznpv]

The GazettE.

[Nyokou]

Tons of people on FFR listen to J-Rock, what makes you think you're the only one?

Dir en grey for the win

The concept of liking music done by one particular nationality means you are a weeaboo and your musical opinion is worth nothing to anyone outside of japanophiles.

[Tibs]

Except there's a huge difference between japanese and western rock.

That said, they're still enormous weeaboos.

I concur that liming a music of one nationality (non-cultural) is pretty absurd, but the sound of a certain language may sound more appealing than others. I hate Spanish music because I think that the Spanish language sounds like crap. Excluding the language, it's fine, but all together, it's disgusting (to me, at least). Though, certain nationalities do have a distinct way of playing a certain genre of music. Excluding vocals, the sound of Japanese rock is different from American/English rock, but that is not all inclusive. Of course there will be similar songs and sounds, but their genres are different from ours, excluding the language. Still, to like the music of a specific nation could, in fact, make one a "weeaboo." I would love to meet the person that enjoys all types of music made in Japan, or any other nation/country/continent etc..

Outside of language, which really doesn't matter, the differences in style are the exact same as the differences in style from band to band.

That said, I LIKE E-METAL THAT MEANS METAL FROM ENGLAND BECAUSE TEA IS HARDCORE AND NOBODY ELSE DRINKS AS MUCH TEA AS ENGLISH PEOPLE SO CLEARLY LISTENING TO ANY METAL BESIDES ENGLISH METAL MEANS THAT YOU ARE NOT A TRUE METALHEAD

[Tibs]

All J-Rock sounds the same though.

[Tibs]

Also you're a englandophile ew get away from me.

[Tokzic]

I meant the difference between music of the same genre from nationality from nationality is the same as the difference from band to band.

ps omg ur english can we have furious anal sex while headbanging to dragonforce pls

I don't just listen to J-rock, is that what this thread is about? Just listening to J-rock?

Anyway I've been listening to a lot of Maximum the Hormone resently. Promblem is a lot of J-rock I hear I only hear that one song, so there are loads of separate artists but I never really look more into them, that been said a few remain like Asian Kung Fu Generation, L'arc-en-ciel, Hyde, Do As Infinity and Orange Range.

That's the kind of attitude I have towards all kinds of music. (and by the way I completely agree with the spanish music concept. In my opinion, spanish just doesn't have the right sound for rock, heavy or soft)

I don't just listen to Japanese music. Definitely not. I like the sound of the language and how it compliments the sound of the music. I like German music as well. Maybe that does make me a "weeaboo" but I try not to that stereotypical.

The best J-Rock bands are L'arc-En-Ciel and Visual-Kai; Dir-En-Grey

Dir-En-Grey used to be soo good in their visual-kai days..
