J-rock is basically the Japanese version of Western rock. They just copy what as been done in the West and don't bring anything new to the game.
Visual Key is Glam Metal J-version. Norifumi Shima is Ywngie Malmsteen J-version. Akira Takasaki is Van Halen J-version. So I go with Western Rock, although there are some good japanese bands.
