who wants to be in a jrock band?
 

Who has ever wanted to be in a band inspired by japanese bands? i always wondered, since so many people like jrock and music. does anyone here, have this dream? to either start a band or be in a band in japan???

Mmm not really no...

Being in a J-rock band sounds more like a nightmare than a dream to me.

Really? how come it would be a nightmare to you?

I'm musicaly inspirated by those bands. I think that be in a J-rock band is the same to be in a band for any other country, only depends what rock style that you will play. What is the difference in play hard rock or metal in a Jrock band or in a another country band?
despite to be a Visual Key bands fan I never dreamed to play guitar in this kind of band, mainly in a band like Versailles, althought I like their musics, they are very far of my beauty sense...

but if this pay well ... hahaha

Nah I did not say it would be a nightmare, I said it'd be a nightmare more than a dream. J-rock music is no inspiration to me, so being a former member of a J-rock band isn't really something I aspire to.

there is no difference really. except the language and the fact that if you were in a japanese band in japan and make it big, you would be able to play along bands that inspired you too, like your role models. and that would be extraordinary. and of course the style. so you don't find versailles style beautiful? lol you play guitar in a band?

For me there is no diference in write a lyric in English or Japanese, If your lyrics are good and have intensity independent of the language, someone will like it, of course I'm talking only in a semantic view.
Yeah, Versailles is not beautiful for me, some members style seems very "artificial" for me, they don't pass to me the sensation of be what they are trying to act. For ME their visual is not very efective.

But X Japan old days style was very efective for me, the reason for me in be a X Japan fan was your dressing style and their slogan "Psychedelic violence crime of visual shock". I saw a X japan photo with this slogan when I was 10 years old and this let me very interested in listen to their songs.


I used to play in a band (nothing serious, only guys searching for fun) but nowadays the university let me very busy for do it again.

im in a band and were all are pretty influenced by the likes of straightener, and a few friends who listen to jrock have said we remind them of it but I would never considering myself jrock because of the lack of J :P

I want to have a jrock band one day,its my dream.

I'd love to be in a J-Rock band. That would be awesome. I see myself as Kyo Mk.II. lol.

do you want to do it in japan or not?

as in kyo from dir en grey??? gazerock isn't dead!!!!:vsign: they are my second favorite after dir en grey. i like an cafe, but back then mostly.

Yeah. Kyo from Dir En Grey. I could write good emotion-based lyrics, & my on-stage presence would be crazy. Of course, Kyo is the master :D

Have you heard musics from Ra:IN the solo project of Pata?

Nice! And yes,i already heard few Ra:IN albums,my favorite is Metal Box.

I don't actually write, but feel if I had to, I could come up with some good stuff based & personal experience

My favorite song is Survival from The Line album. I heard all albuns and they are very good, it's hard rock and progressive at the maximum expression!

At this moment I'm searching for DVDs, I know they released one but it's hard to find.

I'd like very much to be in a j-rock band!:rheart: It would be a dream come true:)..you?

who are you asking??? if you are asking me...that was my dream for like almost 5 years. but i don't think that is what i should be. i am getting old.lol how old are you?

what do you do? like your hobbies then?

so you are an x-japan fan. they were very inspirational to other jrock bands.lol what are you going for in college? and yeah.....college takes up a lot of time specially if you work. dang, you've been a fan for a long time. dir en grey is the one that changed my life. i just saw a video by them on tv and something in me clicked.lol

Yes, X Japan fan. Long time, 9 happy years listening to X Japan songs and watching their shows.

I'm not a fan but I like Dir en Gray too.

it's impressive how music act in our lives, takes you by surprise and when you stop to think, you realize that already become a fan of a singer or a band.

About the college, I'm computer science student and yeah it takes a lot of my time.

Just general stuff. My parents divorce, family deaths, bullying from school etc. Similar topics to what Kyo writes about. I love how he pours emotion into his lyrics

he really isn't afraid to express himself like that. his emotions are raw. you admire him or something? he does write good. you should try writing something. i bet it would be good because it's of true experiences.

I do. I admire him, as he has found an outlet for his emotion, other than bottling it up. He also continues to make awesome music despite health difficulties. I might do, but I'll get through college first. lol. The workload is piling up. :D
