Dir en grey and tool don't sound very alike but eh.

People just don't understand foreign music, they stick to stereotypes and don't realize almost every country has a variety of genres just the same as america.

On a personal note.
I dislike J-rock. With a few exceptions of course but for the most part it's not my cup of tea.
I tend to favor Norwegian music.
People harass me for that to. Little do they realize most American rock including supposed " legends" got alot of their songs/sounds from Norway's metal scenes.

Thing is you can't limit yourself to one genre of music, or think your preference genre is the best.
There are so many styles, lyrics and languages to hear, the music world is absolutely amazing.
I'll listen to anything once.
