Those are my favorites I guess :O

[THE ICE ANGEL]

News are my favorite

[flclamvman]

hmm
ive read most of the pages
and i didnt see the band Fact

they are kinda hard core (a little screaming but not much)

in my opinion they are great
very catchy, plus they incorperate a lot of english in their songs so if you dont know japanese you dont feel completely oblivious to the meaning of the song :P

[THE ICE ANGEL]

hmm
ive read most of the pages

you seem to be patient XD
I havent read even a single page
I just read your reply.

[Lybra]

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but Iceman were a awesome band, when they were together (Gravitation's Shining Collection, anyone?). ^__^ <3

Blood Stain Child | Melodic Death Metal with synth influences
Hitomi Takahashi | Punk-rock

[Hotsushi-]

Hikara[High and mighty color] + Orange range + Ikimonogari = Fave J-bands .

Check out Ringo Shiina on youtube. She's been a rocker and a jazzer for 10 years now. Some great solo albums, and also w/ her band called Tokyo Jihen.

I would recommend Abingdon Boys School, UVERworld, Maximum The Hormone and Kagrra.

[Gannon]

The GazettE are awsome.

[Seraphemei]

I'd have to say that I like VERSAILLES! But it may be because they are so pretty to look at.

[Cyrus.]

I love UVERworld, I really love this band. They have a lot of good songs xD

[Bulma1017]

Asian Kung-Fu Generation!!!!

Awesome band I would say.

[Malkios]

I haven't bothered to see if any that I list here are already used, but what the hey:

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
the pillows
NUMBER GIRL
Veltpunch (ish okay, but I like the other ones better)
Dir en Grey
Flow
Kra
Maximum the Hormone

Other than that most of what I listen to are single songs by various bands, like "pink spider" by RIZE and so on, so I couldn't tell you if they're any good as a whole or not. The top three are my favorites, Ajikan and the pillows are obvious choices, but NUMBER GIRL just plain rocks. Their music is very fun to listen to and imagine yourself playing. 'Cause i'm pretty sure I'm not the only person who does that. xD I just wish I could find tabs or a score or SOMETHING that would enable me to learn how to play that stuff.
