ok I'll expline why I usually don't post in the music part of the forums, I can't decide where to put what I
want to write. I like Japanese Hard Core Rock. So it either goes under rock or international and no one hardly ever reads what I have to say so i'm gonna post it here.
some awsome Rock groups form Japan i'd segest for the masses are as posted with shoret explainations for each
Malice Mizer, stared by cult rocker Mana was and still is the greatest visiaul band from Japan that ever existed though now disbanded it when thru 3 eras, of which i will warn aginst any early songs(such as gothique) because ther from the Testu era and Teastu is so tone deaf that he took very good songs and killed the murderously. he got the boot from Mana about 5 mouths later if i am ot mistaken, the Came Gackt, a sing whose voice is like rich liquid chocolate thats rich and melted, that if chocolate were definder with ranges(white, milk ,dark) he'd have all of them , This was the best of the eras.
then tragidy struck2 1/2 year slater when their drummer Kami died of a brain anurism in 1999. then gackt left to presue a solo career and Khala(who is slightly on par with gAckt But only one other vocalist can acually match him and will be listed later) Khala put some very Hard violent rock into the Metal/classical repituar of Malice Mizer. after 2 years they dissbaned and stil sells more albums than almost any other group in all Japan. Mana stared another band called:Moi dix Mois he's excentric ans no he is not a girl.
The next is Dir en Grey. started by Karou they are the only band in theis thread still together. Kyo the vocalist hold the tie with Gackt for best Male vocalist in all Japan. dir en grey's lyrics are angsty and emoish with a violent twist and some goo heavy metal mixed in, they play all over the rock map and are but far the only band to truly match Malice Mizer in popularity. they hold one of the world best bassist Toshiya whom i look up to, toshiya is not someone in the back ground, ha has a s many soslo as the others do. as in the fact that DEG are still together they have no tragity but what happend in there younger days(Kyo's abuse for one) and it they're inspiration
L'Arc-en-Ciel is the lats i'm gone post about its better to just let yo go to this website for a better write up as i don't research them as much they finish off the notorious trio of bands here the website
