J-Rock bands scare me. I seen quite a few and I usually end up thinking "Hey, that's a hot chick." Only to later find out that it's just a dude who looks like a woman. I don't know how they do it but Japanese guys can look like a woman without any tell tale signs of being a man. One J-Rock band I saw looked like a bunch of hot Japanese chicks, but guess what, all of them were men. Damn them! Now I worry about calling another Japanese woman hot because with my luck they'll just be a guy dressed up as a woman.

Hey KaBuKi, I'm sorry but they look funny as hell. I hate Dir En Gray and if any of the others are like them then nope, don't like them. I'm usually not into the whole girl lead singer (Or guys who look/sound like girls).


The name of the first band (Alice Nine) made me want to listen to Alice in Chains though. So thanks for that.

When I first got into J-Rock there was only one guy who I thought was female;

Hiroto (alice nine.)

LOL. The Candy Spooky Theater sound pretty interesting. They look cool as hell. But, the music is very experimental. Thats all I have to say for now.

Not all J-Rock bands dress like that. That's simply the Visual Kei genre. IF you gave bands like UVERworld or Maximum the Hormone a chance you might find them quite good. Anyway, my favorites:

UVERworld
Maximum the Hormone
Nightmare
Orange Range
Kurikinton Fox (Solo Guitar artist)
L'Arc~en~Ciel

Anyway, it's ignorant to hate a band because of how they dress. You don't have to look at them to listen to them. I think metal bands dress like idiots, but I still like metal.
Oh and by the way Dir en Grey have cleaned themselves up quite a bit lately now that they've gained popularity overseas.

Visual Kei looks hot. But I could never be bothered to fancy myself up that much.
