Thread: Favorite Japanese Bands?

I don't really listen to Japanese bands, so much as random Japanese songs I find with AMVs... L'arc~en~Ciel is a good band, though. Ali Project is too... Yoko Kanno is a great Japanese composer.

Oh, and what I've heard of Blood Stain Child is really good too.

I'm not really into japanese music, mostly because I have no idea what they are saying. I am a fan of ska, so at least I find this band pleasing: Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra I found out about them by accident one day on the internet. Ahhh, youtube. What would i ever do without you?

Maximum the Hormone an The Pillows are my two favorites! ^_^

Puffy, the band, I have loved them since i saw that Japanese Lucario movie ending. And there are so much more that I love but don't remember the names. I tend to love Japanese musical acts, and Heck I can love all the artists mentioned above too.

IOSYS and Dbumusic.

I only know three Japanese bands, and even then I only know the names - Dir en grey, Girugamesh and The 5 6 7 8s. So yeah...

The only band I have ever listened to outside of video game music and anime music is Do As Infinity (for some reason I developed some interest for them after reading about them on the internet). Then again I do not really listen to a lot of Japanese music (aside from some anime and video game music). I have also been listening to Utada Hikaru and Otsuka Ai, but they are solo singers.

You are thinking of Utada Hikaru. Ayumi Hamasaki never performed any music in Kingdom Hearts (Infact all of the songs in Kingdom Hearts are performed by Utada Hikaru).

Isn't Fahrenheit a Chinese pop band from Taiwan?

Girugamesh is the bomb.

Let's see... um, I like L'Arc~en~Ciel, Janne Da Arc, Dir En Grey, Glay, Gackt, Wada Kouji, Hayashibara Megumi, Morikawa Toshiyuki... and recently I've become a fan of Seikima-II.

Orange Range, HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR, Aya Hirano, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Access and.... I can't think of anymore. D:

Kryzler & Kompany

Let's see:

KAORI
Asian Kung Fu Generation
Flow
Aqua Timez
BeForU
Hearts Grow
Ikimono Gakari
Inoue Joe
Little By Little

and I think that's it
