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

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

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*

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

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

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.
