I have a lot of favourites like: Ayabie, Miyavi, Gackt, Vidoll, the Gazette and many others.

Still my favorite... though I actually liked 'em better when they were more pop than rock (even though my tastes generally are rock).
VK is Short for Visual Kei (ヴィジュアル系, vijuaru kei). They dress up with stiking make-up, costumes and often look very feminine. Examples of VK bands are: Vidoll, Malice Mizer, Alice Nine, The Gazette and many, many more.

An extented list can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_visual_kei_artists#0.E2.80.939
OKぴかぴか(新しい)
foreigners who like VK... generally they are obsessed with anything japanese. (they deny it to save face, but they know its true haha)

hahahaha

personally

I really hate that style of music/clothes/life NG
I like older vk bands , alot of the newer ones don't do it for me as in alot of them are musically related to chimps with pots and pans.

I do listen to alot of asian music in general. I prefer Korean rock bands more , but I've listened to a fair share of vk and j-rock in my time.
Well, Rori-chan did say J-rock *and* VK... I took that to mean either one or both, but not exclusionary. (Could have been wrong, I guess.)

I'm not into VK.
I am not into VK or any J-rock either, but
GLAY is OK. (Is GLAY VK ?)
Jeff> Yea, I meant either genre and, some of the bands you like the most and listen to.

HAMASHO> I love Glay! But I'd say Glay is a j-rock band and not VK. I look so much forward to their new single though! わーい(嬉しい顔)
Well, I do ^^ Although I prefer JROCK to V系. My favorite band is L'Arc-en-Ciel, but I also love Asian Kung-fu Generation, Gackt, Glay, YUI and especially MUCC. As for V系, I haven't listened to it a lot yet, but I really like An Cafe (too bad Bou left the band) and The Gazetteムード
>Gnoom

Mucc will definetly be considered as a V系. I'm not into V系 either but I love MUCC!

Ahh. In my day we called that "big-hair glam rock". ウインク Your Poison, Cinderella, and so on. It goes around and comes around, eh?
I like both Vk and jrock.
But personally, even though I had my times enjoying a bands music because of their looks,
now about most of the bands that I listen, I don't even know how they look.
For an example my latest favourites, Despairs Ray, Girugamesh and rentrer en soi. I listen to them but dont even know their names XDDDD
MUCC are awesomeness! わーい(嬉しい顔)手(チョキ) And DEG is sooo good too ハート達(複数ハート) Anyone know the band Homura(焔)? I love the singers voice so much, just a pity I can't find anything anywhere on the net with them.
I don't really like VK, but I do like J-rock. 亜矢, BUMP OF CHICKEN, Tommy heavenly6, Des-ROW, GO!GO!7188, FLOW, Anna Tsuchiya (her earlier stuff was more rock-based so I like those the best) and 上木彩矢. Oh, and 雅-miyavi-'s more recent stuff since he finally started experimenting with his sounds better.
I'm a fan of some rock/avant/noise/electro/punk...if that makes any sense. You can see some of my tastes on my profile.

I can handle some more pop stuff, but it has to have a certain ingredient (something I feel when I hear it).


*****Any 日本人 want to be a singer*****
I'm in the process of recording some new tracks now, and I may need some help later. I'm looking for some some people from Japan (or here in the US) to help me with vocals on my stuff. I also would just love to play with anyone interested.

A good example of what I'm doing for one song, is actually have a girl-friend of mine call my cellphone, and leave a message as the vocal part. Then I can record it and lay the music around it.

Not your typical stuff, but fun and different.

I don't have a band anymore since they moved back to Japan, but I can still find a way わーい(嬉しい顔)
I liked Shiina Ringo and Tommy Heavenly6...and Gackt. Would he be considered VK anymore? Or Jrock?

I'll admit it, I'm a Jpop fan more than anything!
I like both jrock and vk, some of my favorite bands are the gazette, ganeisha, phantasmagoria, D, SKULL, Wizard, An Cafe, the Studs, Vidoll, 12012, Viored and lolita23q to name a few.
I believe GLAY started out as a VK group but then turned themselves into more of a J-pop/J-rock band as they gained popularity. I don't know their recent songs, but I used to listen to some of their older albums. I also like Boowy. Those two groups and Southern All Stars are pretty much the only Japanese bands that I am interested in.
Do people in Japan consider Kimura Kaela rock or pop? Or both? I'd consider her both but then I'm a westerner.

Anyway I like her a lot too.
I love 90's VK!
Rouage, Laputa, Dir en Grey, Pierrot, Plastic Tree, etc etc

I also like Shulla,

God, those bands were amazing.
Re: Kaela Kimura

I think her music (along with 99% of mainstream Japanese pop) is horrible, but one of my favorite Japanese drummers plays in her band. Go figure.

On her (Japanese) wikipedia page, there's a list of musicians she's worked with which is actually pretty impressive (AxSxE of Natsumen, Mito from Clammbon, Tokie, former members of Number Gir, Shinya Okuno from Soul Flower Union etc.). Though it's hard not to be cynical and see it as just an attempt by the record company to give her indie cred.

As for VK, uh, whatever floats everyone's boat I guess.
My favourite rock band is SPITZ who changed my live forever and become a part of it.
I listen to a lot of VK and j-rock. I like Dir en Grey, D'espairs Ray, Girugamesh, UnsraW, Glay, 12012, MUCC, Gackt, Miyavi, L'arc-en-ciel. I like a lot more...so many to name. わーい(嬉しい顔)
I have not heard much j rock but what little bit of Gackt I did hear, some of it was pretty good.
No Jp rock band rocks harder than B'z does. They have been nominated to The Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame recently. VERY FIRST JAPANESE GROUP TO HAVE GOT THE AWARD EVER. How awsome is that!
We as Japanese should take pround in that. They do deserve it in the light of impressive two decade work of rocking. I'm so happy being a fan of B'z as they will soon be recognised to all over the world.

Besidez B'z I massively like Elephant kashimashi, GLAY, and The Yellow monkey and The Ulfuls to name a few...

They are also great rock bands with a little bit of nice exposures to the other side of the world.

I gotta try listen to Dir en grey!! You know they did the opening act for Korn. Too cool. Keep it going.
DEG (short for Dir en Grey) will also do the opening act for Linkin Park in SAITAMA SUPER ARENA in November. It would be so~~ awsome being thereexclamation ×2わーい(嬉しい顔) Well, I just hope they will come to Denmark sometime soon again so that I can go see them あっかんべー
ハート達(複数ハート) メリーハート達(複数ハート)
No one said them yet.
That makes me sad.
I love J-rock!!! I have seen Bleach03 four times and I want to see Kokeshi Doll. I have one of their songs on my myspace page. MUCC is great. GOGO7188 and Shina Ringo are both good to listen to. I tend to listen to the heavy stuff more often.

Here are some pics of Bleach03. Kanna is so sexy!!!!
