edgedestroys Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 One of my friends showed me one of the new Dir En Grey songs (or sorta newer? I dunno) last year and it sounded like solid metalcore. I thought it was pretty rad. I'm not really sure what genre they're supposed to be but I could dig it. I don't really get into j tunes much so that's all the more I can really elaborate here lol. Had to find the song by googling the only lyrics I could understand or remember, like hell I'd remember the name of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarostino Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 "thee michelle gun elephant" are awesome! and "tokyo ska paradise orchestra" are pretty fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarostino Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 oh and as for visual kei (genre of the very first video posted on here.. "sadie").... all these bands sound the same and after listening to one of them it gets so incredibly boring. besides the fans are mostly dumbasses. if anybody is interested and has some time to kill, read that interview: http://www.hellodamage.com/top/2010/03/01/interview-with-an-ex-visual-kei-record-executive/ its a lot of fun. a shitload of these vk-fangirls went berserk after this has been published, haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 more band apart: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ryh8Weye-Y0&hl=en&fs=1 i really dig these guys. they did a split with mock orange back in the day. toured with them and vice versa.

deafmx Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 i saw this band randomly years ago opening for some local bands at the Turf Club. they were easily the best band on the show, highly energetic and jumping into the crowd. it's a small bar loaded with hipsters, i'm surprised it happened. kinda Nirvana-ish....sorta. we have a local band, Sweet J.A.P., made up of mostly Japanese guys, but i think they're totally defunct now. they play in some other bands (Mute Era, France Has The Bomb, Birthday Suits, etc). this is the only video i could find, not the greatest quality. oh yeah, and POLYSICS! probably a Japanese version of Devo would be most suiting. new wave! a link to a playlist of videos, tons of videos: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 /\ /\ what the hell was that? the language doesn't seem to fit the genre, but that was still pretty fun. i'd probably have fun seeing them live, but laugh at myself if i tried to sit through an album. plus the asian "oi"s were brilliant.

skadaddy Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 what the hell was that? Haha. They were on the Misfits of Ska: Volume 2 compilation that Asian Man Records put out forever ago. I saw "J-SKA" earlier in the post and it just came back to me. I will admit that I saw them open for the Blue Meanies (I think) over a decade ago and I don't remember a thing about them except that one song.

sharkticon Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 This guy, Miyavi, does a lot of J-pop/Glam rock kind of stuff. But he is a phenomenal guitar player. Plus he does this crazy blues/Japanese thing, which is super hard considering the structure of their language. Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEH7cphEODk&hl=en&fs=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarostino Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 hes an amazing guitar player but his fans are only these damn visual kei kids... i saw him live once and when he came on stage, well, im sure its very similar to standing in the first few rows at a justin bieber concert...
