I really dont' care for any japanese music. The few things I've heard before were in my Japanese language class, but it just sounds way too materialistic and techo-ish sounding. In a really tacky, annoying way. I'd prefer my American music in almost every way.

L'arc~en~ciel is a french word which means "Rainbow", to clear that out.

And yeah, my favorite J-band is L'arc~en~ciel, and my favorite artist is Hyde, the vocalist, he also has a SOLO project, he's pretty good :]

Link and Driver's High FTW!

I have a lot of favorite solo artists. Utada Hikaru, Nami Tamaki, Ayumi Hamasaki, Hitomi Shimatani, and Mika Nakashima to name a few. Lately i've been listening to Crystal Kay and Namie Amuro's music too, hehe. As for my favorite band, i'd have to say Merry.:)

Well, Dir En Grey is a heavy Jrock band. They're also a visual kei band so in a lot of their music videos and pictures, they'll be... dressed up in freaky costumes, but the music always turns out great.

Let's see: Boris, Susumu Yokota, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Joe Hisaishi, Cornelius, Balzac, Michio Kurihara, Takagi Masakatsu, Tujiko Noriko, and Yuichiro Fujimoto are all bands or artist that are in Japan.

Artists that made music in the U.S. and come from Japan or bands where the more known members are Japanese: Cibo Matto, Asobi Seksu, and Lullatone.
