We need mroe Jrock in Ireland!

[HaseoXthofTwilight]

Who else thinks Jrock gigs should be a regular occurrence here? xDD
The states got it lucky I hear form a few people they get gigs quite a lot over there.

It'd be nice to see more gigs than Dir en Gray there, especially since alot more J-Rock bands have London dates these days. Apart from LM.C, of course, due to the crap turnout last year which is a shame.
I'd just love to see Miyavi live, but I'd love to see anyother jrock mainly to meet new people. :3

OP, start a JRock band. That'll speed things up :P

Learn from that edjit from Scotland: Don't start a Japanese band unless you're Japanese :colbert:

[Jayse]

Im all for J-Rock here in Ireland but it wouldnt hurt to get some J-Pop here either.

*Eagerly awaits his Utada Hikaru concert next month*

[DrVokterDiktom]

Anyone want to form a J-Rock band for shits and giggles?

Gwaaaan, y'know it'd be a larf.

[Kylmar]

I wonder, does Crush 40 count as a J-Rock band? The singer is American but the rest of the band is Japanese. Either-way, they should get their arses on tour.

[HaseoXthofTwilight]

I do agree some more j-pop would be a great thing aswel. But the ones id really like to see over here are Access, Hironobu Kageyama and Wada Kouji and definitely Flow. =P

And nope Crush 40 don't count since they sing in English lol

Oh dear god no.
Slightly Spring are embarrasing to look at. I just can't stand wee girls who wear 'japanese' clothes, sing pitchy Japanese songs, pull silly 'japanese' poses for photos and think that's what makes a 'japanese band'. It's one thing being influenced by j-bands, but Slightly Spring are a poor, half arsed copy n paste with no originality.
Learning from them is the -last- thing you want to do if you want to start a credible, Japanese influenced band. But honestly, I don't know where the appeal is unless you have a great image to back up the concept. But that's just my opinion.

Fair enough but i just think that her Japanese is good. its just there's some people cant even pronounce the words right, and she does a pretty decent job at it. Take her singing Yui - Rolling star , there are covers on youtube of japanese bands covering that song and doing it worse, same with god knows.

and for the poses and cloths and crap, pretty much every teenage girl i know try's to pull them off and end up looking like fools.

I'd love to set up something a bit Boom Boom Satellites-ish.
