OT question

[lucidean.livejournal.com]

Hope nobody minds these questions, buy I was curious, how many people here listen to Japanese music? And what bands?

Comments

[chichirinomiko.livejournal.com]

I listen to
Gackt
TM Revolution
X Japan
Glay
Galla
Ayumi Hamasaki
Utada Hikaru
Dragon Ash
BoA (both Korean and Japanese versions)
aaand that's all I can think of right now. I'm sure if I was on my computer at home, I'd be able to list off more, but it's too early in the morning for my brain to be functioning properly.

Off topic, but i have to say...

<3 the icon. Eternal Snow is such a beautiful song.(and FMwS is beautiful too!)

Re: Off topic, but i have to say...

[chichirinomiko.livejournal.com]

yeah, I would have gone into a spaz fest about Full Moon if I started to list all the anime soundtracks I listen to (FMwS is the one I listen to religiously) but I decided to stick to J-Pop/Rock

[tiggielil.livejournal.com]

I think I'm one of the few who doesn't listen to much Japanese music...I did download some Kana after the discussion of her on this list, and I totally want her CD now, I just haven't been able to figure out where to get it. Anybody feel like helping?

[missmeganmaude.livejournal.com]

You should check out http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/
They have all of Kana's stuff and it's teh best way to get Japanese cd's as far as I'm concerned. ^___^

[aitreni.livejournal.com]

I do. My favorite is Lareine (and their spinoff bands). I also listen to Malice Mizer, Moi dix Mois, Fatima, Aioria, Dir en grey, deadman, Luna Sea, L'Arc, and many others...

ack! lareine!!

[kittyhot.livejournal.com]

Do you have any Lareine albums? I wanted to buy Fierte no Umi to Tomo ni Kieyu but I can't find it anywhere! (Not even ebay!!) Where did you get your Lareine stuff from?? And their other band stuff too?!

Re: ack! lareine!!

[aitreni.livejournal.com]

I have MANY Lareine CDs. ^^;;; I'm not sure about the best way to get their stuff from overseas though, especially the older CDs. (I live in Japan so it's very easy for me ^^) But I think your best bet would probably be Third Stage, an indies store in Tokyo that sells both new and used CDs and will ship internationally. Their stock changes as people buy and sell things, so even if they don't have an old item like "fierte" at the moment they might have it next week.

Hope this helps!

It's how I got into lolita fashion!
I love love love Malice Mizer and Gackt but I also listen to Puffy, Bonnie Pink, and Morning Musume (those girls make annoying into an art form, I love it)

[pnr.livejournal.com]

yeah, like above, that's how I came in contact with EGL (Manaaaa)

Malice Mizer
Moi Dix Mois
X-Japan
Dir en Grey
Kana
Schwarz Stein
Gackt

well, and then it pop ups certain songs of other bands and so...

[xevron.livejournal.com]

I listen to Miyavi, Dir en Grey, Due le Quartz, Kaggra, Malice Mizer, La' Mule, Despairsray, BLue-B, Phobia, Penicillin, Syndrome, Gackt, Nightmare, and there's more but I'm going to stop there.

I am very much into J-rock. *nods*

[bronfish.livejournal.com]

My tastes are slightly 'out there'. I don't really listen to typical EGL Japanese music, but then, I'm only a part-time lolita ^^; I love Mucc, Inugami Circus-dan, Metronome, Caligari, Guruguru Eigakan, and so many others that I don't know where to start.

[koutetsuhime.livejournal.com]

I pretty much only listen to Japanese music now, lol.
Gravitation music, J-rock (waaaay too many bands to list, but mostly Dir en grey and Nightmare right now) and Jpop, too.

are you kidding me? ;P

[kittyhot.livejournal.com]

Practically the only thing I listen to is Japanese music. ;P (Although there have been quite a few good domestic bands lately ^_^)

Here's my list of favorites:
Megumi Hayashibara
Malice Mizer
Gackt
Two-Mix
Smile.dk
T.M. Revolution
Dir en Grey
Noir Fleurir (sp?)
Lareine (kind of T_T)
Judy and Mary
Hysteric Blue
Laputa
Glay
Kana
plus a messload of anime songs from things like Gundam Wing, Escaflowne, Utena, Bust a Groove (which is actually a game), Sorcerer Hunters, it goes on forever...
PLUS all those Jrock bands that my friend listens to like X Japan, Baiser (they're cool), um, I forget! T_T

Plus I've heard a few things I really like from Penicillin, Buck-Tick, and other Visual Kei bands I can't remember...

Well there's my list kind of!

Re: are you kidding me? ;P

[julietbunny.livejournal.com]

I forgot Megumi!
I love her! Until Strawberry Sherbert (I think that's the name) was the song that got me into Jpop.
Sigh. Mem'ries.

[kalhara.livejournal.com]

The bulk of my small collection of Japanese music consists of:

Malice Mizer (MANA-SAMA!!!)
Dir en Grey
Luna Sea
The Pillows

There's LOTS of odds n ends in my collection that I really love but don't have enough of to bother listing. I love (what I've heard from) X Japan and Kana and definetly want more.

[cast-aside-love.livejournal.com]

Of course I do!!! I listen to anything I can get my hands on! (or computer on for that matter ;) ) I love Japanese music! I also listen to some Korean music too, but just a little bit.

Although i d have a couple of burnt mix cd's of visual, I prefer Shibuya kei. Pizzicato 5, Cibo Matto, Cornelius, Kahimi Karie and so on.

Moi Dix Mois
L'Arc~en~Ciel
The Pillows

Plastic Tree
Mucc
Cali≠gari
Inugami Circus-dan
guruguru eigakan
guniw tools/ nookicky
cocco (though she's not a band)

[ysfrael.livejournal.com]

Asuka Hayashi ^^
And I listen to Aya ! I discover her music a few month ago and I really love it. I'm happy to know that I am not the only one who know her ^^''

[ysfrael.livejournal.com]

Oui, je suis française ^_^
I haven't listen to "The bitch project", yet. Why didn't you go to her concert ? I'd love to see her on live !

[ysfrael.livejournal.com]

A Japanese joke ? So I can't understand it XD

Vous êtes jalouse ? Moi, j'adorerais habiter au Japon !

[ikichi.livejournal.com]

#^__^# i'm new to it, but i have friends in a american j-rock band, and they've been getting me into it. so far i really like malice mizer, l'arc~en~ciel, and ayumi hamasaki. moi dix mois is growing on me, though. oh! and their band (even though it's in english)  kirei (kirei.i8.com/). (mp3s (http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/530/kirei.html/)
