Well, this is the thread where you can talk about your favorite Japanese Bands. Meh, I just felt the need to make this thread, because it didn't seem to fit well in the other threads...

So, yeah, feel free to talk about anything about Japanese Bands you may have heard of or like....
For examples: Ask people if they heard of a certain japanese band, tell others when they're comming to America to perform, talk about their past, etc...

Yosh...
My favorite Japanese bands are Do As Infinity, Orange Range, and HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR. I've also heard of the band called UVERworld...

But the real reason why I made this thread is because I wanted to let you guys know that HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR is performing live in Houston next Friday (April 28th)!!!! I'm so excited, and I want to see it soooo badly. I tried convincing my borther (who lives in Houton) to record the whole thing for me, but you know how he is. He isn't interested in anime and Japanese stuff...
So, I'm kinda sad about that... * :( *

But I'd love to hear what others have to say and what their favcorite Japanese Bands are. So... post away!

EDIT: Yeah, the title has some random arrow in it... just ignore it and you're good... :D

LOVE!

*huggle*

Kanthia isn't totally squee into bands or Japanese music, but she knows a lot of awesome people who are. Namely her brother, who is obsessed with Kotoko (you can find out a little about her here...Kanthia doesn't know much about her other than what her brother tells her ^^;). And we just found out that Kotoko will be preforming at Anime North! Just because of that, Kanthia's brother is allowed to go to Anime North, which means that Kanthia will be able to as well!

Err, I forgot about the band Asian Kung Fu Generation. My favorite songs from them are Haruka Kanata (Far off distnace), Riraito (Rewite), Last Scene, and more...

Okay, I'll list some songs by the bands I named earlier:

Orange Range: Asterisk, Locolotion, Hana, Shanghai Honey, Onegai Senorita, Spiral, and Kiri Kiri Mai. I love Orange Range because they're such a goofy bunch, and they make me smile whenever I watch their music videos...

Do As Infinity: Fukai Mori (Deep Forest), and Shinjitsu no Shi (Song of Truth). I love Do As Infinity because their music is so beautiful, an I love to read their lyrics. They're very creative, and they really have talent.

HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR: Ichirin no Hana (Bleach 3rd opening~!), Here I Am, Glory in This Hand, Over, Pride, All Alone, and Days. I love this band because they are very unique. Their type of music has its own class, and their past is very interesting. You can read about it and here.

I also like the song D-TecnoLife by UVERworld, because it's really cool. (not to mention, it was the 2nd opening for Bleach). His english is really amusing to listen to.. heheh. Like when he said "You and me, two have spoken", it sounded like he said, "You and me, two are SCREW YOU!" LOL. It makes me laugh. And when he said, "Drive your life", it sounded like he said "Tell me why". He switches back and forth from Japanese to English and vice versa, which gets pretty confusing unless you know the lyrics...

I love Do As Infinity and To Destination. Especially Eden, by To Destination, and Fukai Mori by Do As Infinity.

Eden is awesome. Awesome.

If you haven't heard it, I can easily upload it. :)

I like Megumi Hayashibara, Folder5, W~inds, ...
...
Yah...I think that might be it -'_-'. And Gackt sorta I suppose but I only like a few of his songs. I guess I don't listen to as much Jpop as I think >.<u. Oh, and the band "bump of chicken" amuses me and my sister soely because of the name.

I have heard of and heard some music of Morning Musume and BoA. They are pretty good bands but I don't like them inparticular. They seem to be very popular tho. (I like very much the song "My Asia" by Morning Musume...)
