[Nerf Herder]

I wanna get a CD of Asian Kung-Fu generation, those guys rock. Not just that, but The Pillows. The Pillows are way cool, I should prolly go out and get the FLCL soundtrack sometime...

[~K+]

L'arc~en~Ciel, fra-foa, the Brilliant Green, Shiina Ringo would be my favourites.

But GLAY's song 'Kokode wa nai dokokahe' is what got me into Japanese music.

[angieness]

I listen to a lot of what people listed above with the addition of Miyavi

[islington]

L'Arc~en~Ciel, definitely. Shiina Ringo is also awesome.

On the V-K side of things, I'd have to say Malice Mizer (old school o_O) and Dir en Grey ^_^;

[StarFire]

I like L'Arc en ciel and Asian Kung-Fu Generation. I Listen them everyday, it never gets old. :D

[Nerf Herder]

Ready, Steady, Go! is a great song.

[Sabakunoneji]

yo Sabakunoneji, what Shocking Lemon songs do you have? I only have a few of theirs. I want more of their songs.


o i got their Sometimes Alone album off BT. try going to http://torrents.theppn.org they got a billion j stuff torrents :)

[diegost[GS]]

i really like asian kung-fu generation, haruka kanata is by far the best Jrock song ive heard

[super_suna_nin]

']i really like asian kung-fu generation, haruka kanata is by far the best Jrock song ive heard
Yes. Yes it is. XD Like I said over on the Jpop thread I like to listen to it all. The bands that have songs on Naruto are the best *nods some*

[Zak]

I need to get more into Jrock. The Pillows are brilliant. Furi Kuri really turned me on to them, and I'm gradually starting to venture a little more into the genre.

[Hoshiko]

My friend is in love with some famous singer...his name's Mana...either that's the name or the group name :-/

[flamealchemist]

no no mana was a member of Malice mizer but they broke now mana started a new band called Moi dix mois wich like malice mizer is a great band. by the way i think mana is the drummer. he doesnt talk much i heard. but he has L337 SKILLZ

[Nerf Herder]

What about Orange Range? I love these guys.

[xrotarydudex]

the pillows and dir en gray are the best

[Nerf Herder]

So has anybody heard more of Asian Kung-Fu Generation than just Haruka Kanata? I like Kunkei Faibumu, good album. Best songs off it in my opinion are Flashback, Mirai no Kakera, and Jihei Tansaku.

[~K+]

^ Yup, I've DLed some off WinMX but haven't gotten around to listen to much of it yet, but from what I've heard. I like 'Mirai no kakera' & 'Kimi no machi made' so far.

They've got a new album coming up later this month.

[Nerf Herder]

Serious? That's awesome, can't wait to get a copy. I'd so buy it and support the band if it didn't cost an arm and a leg to import.

[~K+]

Yep, it'll be out in 8 days. It's being released on the 20th October titled "SORUFA".

[Ainsin]

Can anybody tell me where i can download more Asian Kung-Fu Generation's songs? I hate bittorrent & most p2p programs, but I am pretty desperate to find more.

I was considering buying one of their albums (I've only heard 2 of their songs), but the prices for the albums are incredibly expensive ($26 - $30 US). I think I would rather listen to their other songs before I'm willing to spend that much cash.

[~K+]

Try their official web:
http://www.asiankung-fu.com/

Click on the 2nd link from the left on the bottom, then you can navigate their discography by CD Covers on the left, there's song samples for most of the songs and clip previews for the singles.

This site has some for download, but they're also samples.

[Nerf Herder]

Too cool, I wanna pick this one up as soon as possible. Asian Kung-fu Generation is one of the best bands ever.

Thanks a lot for the info!

[LMiTbR8Kr4O02]

Does any1 know where i can get some mp3 downloads of LeC,x jap,or some other good jrock

[~K+]

^ Check around J-rock mp3 rotation sites for updates, they update weekly. And see if there are any on LJ Journals.

Ones like these, good to check out all their links too to see if there's anything.
http://www.freewebs.com/malicious-misery/

And Asian Kung-Fu Generations have such awesome CD cover art. =D

[Nerf Herder]

Yes, that they do. ...w00t! I'm a Chuunin! ::does happy dance:: By the way, you should check out Orange Range - 1st Contact, very good cd.

[~K+]

I just happened to have downloaded that CD yesterday (ORANGE RANGE's "1st Contact"). =P

I prefer AKFG's style more though.

And oh, I like ORANGE RANGE's *~Asterisk~ song off Bleach though. I can't seem to find it on any of their existing CDs, perhaps it'll be on their new album in December.

[Nerf Herder]

That song is insanely cool, would you happen to know where one might acquire it from?

[~K+]

*~Asterisk~? Nope, it doesn't seem to be released yet.

But I have something even better.
AKFG's "Sol-Fa" Album's torrent is already up for DL a week early!
http://torrents.theppn.org/details.php?id=18520

[Nerf Herder]

w00t! Better indeed. Orange Range is nice but I'll take AKFG over them anyday.

[LizX19]

YES!! JROCK!! My favorite music genre, because it deserves its own genre :P I like any and ALL Jrock, so I don't need to list :P

Edit, but to give you and idea, some fave artist include Dir en Grey, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Psycho le Cemu, The Pillows and Miyavi.

[~K+]

Oh yeah, I forgot to list PLC too, they're so fun. Especially the clip to 'Roman hikou'.

[mageofdeath]

YAY!! the pillows are shiznite...

[ninamori]

I love The Pillows... I love them so much I can't remember what other bands i like...
I geuss I like Gackt 'cause I'm listening to Rain.. but... meh.
Asian Kung-Fu Generation
and... well... other stuff... but my Pillows fandom clouds my vision. (gah! I need to listen to Walkin' on the Sprial!)

[eternally]

I like AKFG...and the girl groups ZONE and YeLLOW Generation but they're not completely rock...more like poprock.

[ItachiUchihaAnbu]

L'Arc~En~Ciel! AKFG, Orange Range, etc.

[BandanaDan]

So has anybody heard more of Asian Kung-Fu Generation than just Haruka Kanata? I like Kunkei Faibumu, good album. Best songs off it in my opinion are Flashback, Mirai no Kakera, and Jihei Tansaku.

I've got all their albums. They're alright... I wouldn't wanna listen to an album by then more than two or three times.

But one stand out track though, is Kimi To iu Hana from 'Kunkei Faibumu', it's amazing, I must have listened to this song like *checks winamp* 200 times.

You all can get it from *Cough* the link under my sig*
love the guitar, drumming, bass, and everything about it. Really top.
