I listen to L'Arc~En~Ciel everyday and i want to discover new jbands.
Help me.
To tell you about my tastes : I want music like The Pillows, Gackt, Hyde, Monoral, and L'Arc~En~Ciel of course.
Don't tell me about metal or pop or jbands like Beat Crusaders who do american music, i prefer the japanese sound.

My Lord, if you like rock music with decent portion of melody you might check these out:
Kagrra is a jrock band with strong traditional influence, their style is very unique and distinctive. So if you're an avid fan of japanese culture as well as rock music, you can't go wrong with this pick.
Shiina Ringo is one of my favorite artist EVER. In fact I've never seen any female artist more talented than her. She has a distinctive nasal voice that you can easily pinpoint once you heard it. She writes and composes her own music and her quirky style is bold an edgy. She's an essential for those curious about J-rock.
GLAY is one of japan's big bands in addition to L'Arc. They have mainstream sounds with addictive guitar lines. They've been around for..what..18 years? Worth checking out
La'Cryma Christi has disbanded, but their music live on in the heart of fans like myself ^^ You might find the vocals rather irritating at the beginning but once you're used to it you'll be rockin your socks with La'Cryma goodness
If you enjoy jazz/ lounge-y music with decent rocky tunes to get u going then
Tokyo Jihen is definitely for you. Though their music can be heavily jazzy at times, they incorporate many different elements creating fresh fusion that is one of a kind. All of these PLUS Shiina Ringo lead singing for the band.
I can go on and on but Im afraid I'll get my ass kicked by the mods once Im done :sweat: Thas all I think, hope it helps :woot:
Hugs for Matsu, Meiko, Ri:ka and Aozora. Long time no see, Im so glad you're all still around :mrgreen:
