Which is your favorite Japanese Band?

[Eri Kamei]

Well, my fauvorite band is Morning Musume, also I like Berryz Koubou, Dream Morning Musume and ºC-ute.

So, write down wich is your fauvorite JBand!

 

[Beefinator]

My favourite bands are UVERworld, Stereopony, Aqua Timez.
I don't really like rock but if it's J-Rock, then it's awesome!

Only Japanese band I've seen live is Dir en Grey and they were good, have gone off them a bit now though.

Unsurprisingly I hear most of my Japanese music through my cartoons, I guess my favourites from that would be Abingdon Boys School, Rie Fu, Nana Mizuki and Yakushimaru Etsuko. Yes I know most of them aren't bands but whatever.

 

[RemEngel]

Yousei Teikoku (Fairy Empire/Das Feenreich) all the way!
I really like their style of music.

 

[real.]

My favourite is definitely UVERworld. However they've become worse over the years in my opinion,

 

[Weeaboo Name]

Forgot to mention Pillows, those guys are amazing.

 

[Koi]

ClariS & Kalafina is love <3

 

[Esper]

My favorite band is Sakanaction (サカナクション) who I fell in love with after seeing them live. Their wikipedia page says they're "Indie rock, Alternative rock, Electronica, New Wave, Dance, Rock" and I suppose that's a good enough description. They're pretty amazing. Let me show you why with some video spammage.

Always been a fan of supercell here, along with a lot of the Lantis singers out of NicoNico, namely Choucho. Maeda Jun composing for Lia or Tada Aoi is always nice, and I'm looking forward to his collaboration album with Yanagi Nagi (nagi). Kalafina is nice for the Kajiura Yuki instrumental. They did a great job with Kara no Kyoukai and Madoka.

Rambling some more: YUI, Kobukuro, Remioromen, Baseball Bear, Galileo Galilei, Falcom jdk Band, sound holic, MARiA/GARNiDELiA, Jam Project, eufonius, mosiac.wav, X Japan, Key Sounds Label, I've, Flow, AKINO, some more I'm forgetting

Favorite Japanese band..? Probably M.O.V.E., they are a rockish J-Pop band that have rather energetic songs. Things like Blazing Beat, Rage your Dream, or Dogfight are good examples of music that they play. "Rage your Dream" in particular makes me think of summer and beaches for some reason.

 

[ナギ]

favourite bands, eh..
i'm a huge fan of supercell. ryo, marry me already~
seriously though. supercell in collaboration with nagi or choucho is just. RABU.

apart from that, i like Aqua Timez and Nico Touches The Walls a lot! annnd cause i finally managed to get my hands on a CD, i guess you might call me a fan of AnCafé (aka Antic Café) as well.

. . .and apart from that, i usually only get to know new J-bands via intros/outros they do for anime i watch, so.. i'm not really original, i know. XD;

EDIT: ahem. i need to add SID as well! plus Asian Kung-Fu Generation and TommyHeavenly6.
and Ho-Kago Tea Time.

 

[Uecil]

Oh, goodness... I have a lot of favorite Japanese bands :S
My most favorite one would be SID then because I listen to their songs a lot. I especially love the songs USO and Monochrome no kiss!~
and they are just plain epic, so yeah.

 

[Satoshi Ookami]

Ho-kago Tea Time... or not? :D
Okay, I'll be serious :D
Morning Musume for me, I love every band that has or had any connection with Kusumi Koharu :)

 

[Overlord Drakow]

High and Mighty Color for me.

 

[Renyui!]

Yamantaka // Sonic Titan, if they count as Japanese :\

Otherwise, maybe Sakanaction
EDIT!!!! Also probably Yui. They're cool.

 

[Haunter714]

From 2003 to 2006, I listened almost exclusively to Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Ayumi Hamasaki, BoA, Do As Infinity and L'arc-en-ciel. I gradually listened to less of them, moved more toward D'espairsRay, Dir En Grey, Fact. Then I stopped listening to J music entirely. Don't know why. I'm way out of the loop now, can anybody recommend some bands like the ones I mentioned?

Anyway, I'd probably have to say my favorite is Asian Kung-Fu Generation. I've probably listened to more of them than any other.

Just as I posted, I find a pile of CD-Rs containing everything Gackt released between 2001 and 2006. Which is a lot.

 

[TwiDragon]

There are three Japanese music

Ali Project
The works of Kenji Ohtsuki

There is one J-Rock band I like, Its like the Gatzee or somethign. I like their music, and think the band members are pretty hot. If you know the name of the band, let me know!

 

[Haunter714]

Are you thinking of The Gazette?

 

[TwiDragon]

^Yes, thank you <3
I like there music, but I haven't heard them in years. Thank you :3

 

[Usagi-Chan~]

I love Ikimono-gakari and Perfume, bunch of other non-band artists as well.
