T.M.Revolution is really J-pop, not J-rock... ^^; 90% of his stuff is synthesized techno sounding pop.

I didn't' realize the request had been for more than just j-rock groups...so i'll elaborate on my list. Some of the people on my list, have had U.S. releases (such as Cornelius, Hyde and L'Arc~en~Ciel). But others, you may have to import. Just because it doesn't have a U.S. release doesn't automatically make it bootleg. In the past I have bought Korean region CD's (cheaper than importing the Japanese version). But you can get Japanese import CD's from anywhere from Little Tokyo (in Los Angeles) to amazon.com. Anyways, on with the list
J-Rock: Miyavi Gackt L'Arc~en~ciel Malice Mizer X Japan Orange Range The Pillows Hyde Shibuya Kei: Cornelius Towa Tei Fantastic Plastic Machine Cibo Matto Buffalo Daughter Pizzicato 5 J-Pop: Crystal Kay M-Flo Jinsean Utada Hikaru TM Revolution As you can see, my exposure to J-Pop is pretty limited..but that is a list of most of the J-Music groups I do or have listened to. Hope you find something you like out of the bunch... |

I can understand that. That is why I mentioned my purchase of the Korean version of Smile (L'Arc~en~Ciel album). Korean versions of J music albums, are drastically cheaper, which is why the CD case says "for sale only in Korea." Buying a Japanese CD will cost you about $40, but if you buy the Korean version (which isn't bootleg) it only costs you something like $12-15.
