Hey there,
As some as you might know from seeing my previous hide css spray I like visual kei and J-Rock and i was wondering if anyone else from deadmen is into J-Rock or visual kei and could recommend some good bands or performers.
I know Lee is into j-rock and he is the one who introduced me to the massive band X-Japan, which broke up 10 years ago but are probably reuniting this year, without the late guitarist hide though.
This is my favourite x-japan song/performance:

Another artist i stumbled upon today is Miyavi, after seeing a clip of the new supergroup called S.K.I.N. which is made up out of Yoshiki, Gackt, Miyavi and Sugizo.
Anyways an awesome solo clip by Miyavi for you guys:

I hope you enjoy these and can post some good bands or clips yourself!
Happy listening,
Gaara
God yes, Japanese music is excellent, definitely something i think more western people should get into.
Quote from: Lee;196805definitely something i think more western people should get into.
meh not sure about that one, then you might get hypes and that would sck.
But i like The vids, isn't really my style though, and can't understand 98% of the lyrics though, but i'm working on that :P
Hehe i just "bought" the miyavi album Miyavizm and its really good upbeat J-Rock to make you happy. The fact that i can't understand the lyrics makes it pretty cool imo.
J-Rock getting more popular can't hurt tbh. It would mean European concerts! I found out Miyavi is doint a concert in Germany, july 29th and i looked on e-bay for tickets and they go for 200 euros so far :O
