Does anyone like listening to jpop or jock even if you might not understand what they are singing? I like listening to Glay and L'arc-en-Ciel. I was just turned onto Dir en Grey.

I only know X-Japan and B'z really, both are great, Tak Matsumoto is one of my favourite guitarists.

I usually listen to Jpop from anime.
I'm just a newbie at Japanese so I only understand a bit. XD
For J-rock, I listen to X-japan, Dir En Grey, Nightmare and Gazette is my favorite band.

i like jpop a lot ... i don't understand it but i still like listening to it .... i like listening to m-flo, sowelu, soul'd out, utada hikaru and yui ....

We've had a few topics like that,just can't find them :D

I lovee anything to do with Jpop, especially HELLO! PROJECT.

thats many bands of cute girls and stuff.
I enjoy some Jrock, but not all, mostly music from Anime Openings and endings.
But JPop is much cuter and nicer and more my taste :)

larc is great!
i also listen to high and migthy and uverworld.

nightmare and maximum the hormone (yes, i watch death note)

I like Jpop, J R n B, and Japanese Jazz. Some of the Japanese Hip Hop stuff is cool.

I have so many CD's from Japan. I started listening to this stuff way back in 1998

UVERworld and the Black Mages are sex.

uverworld ftw .... morning musume... miki fujimoto.. miwa sasegawa.. yui... utada... koda kumi.... larc....

I know a lot of bands and artists from Japan, but I don't listen only pop & rock. I listen metal, Hip-Hop, electronica and other genres too. I don't have a favorite band/artist, but these are some of the artists/bands that I listen:

- X Japan
- Shiina Ringo
- Susumu Hirasawa
- JAM Project
- KOTOKO
- Mr.Children
- Gackt
- Yousei Teikoku
- See-Saw
- Masami Okui
- Home Made Kakoku
- move
- HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR
- T.M.Revolution
- ALI PROJECT
- Penicillin
- Pierrot
- GARNET CROW
- MAKE-UP
- Hironobu Kageyama
... and a lot more of bands/artists.

See ya!

Some years ago I listened to X-Japan very often. Songs like Beat of Blood by Malice Mizer or Schwein no isu and Zan by Dir en grey are nice, I think.

Today I still like X-Japan (especially Break the darkness, Standing Sex, Stab me in the back, Art of life, Silent Jealousy).
But there are other great japanese bands like Melt Banana (oh yeah, you really should see them life... their noise is really much fun during a concert), Dirt Rucks (Rock'n'Roll - nice ladies) and of course Electric Eel Shock (some kind of mix between a bit of metal and punkrock). I'm glad these bands already visited my country 'cause they are all fun.
But I think the most fun of them is EES

Electric Eel Shock in Lapland! Happy Christmas fun

Scream for me

UVERworld
Hisoca
Hikaru Utada
Ayumi Hamasaki
Koda-Kumi


Sadly, I find out about most of these people through watching anime.

Never really listened to much J-music.
But Gackt,Dir en Grey and Gazette were once big favs of mine.

It was through watching anime that I got into jpop/ jrock and just recently I got my first Jpop cd ( Deep River, by Utada Hikaru)

I like Penicillin and Sax Mashinguns alot

Ya i listen to JPop/rock.etc... like nightmare, orange range, aqua times, and the b'z


dont understand a word but i love it

i don't know this count or not but i love YUI!!
she's so cute and her voice is AWESOME ^^
don't tell me if she made like a painful face when sing,I DON'T CARE lol
(currently listening My Generation)

if you like jpop, and you dont understand the lyrics, you might want to consider kpop. they usually have better songs, so good that its even popular in japan like BoA. Well, im not being racist to jpop music because they also have some really good artists like utada hikaru.
