I was thinking about getting a prepaid card for iTunes Japan. They don't seem to have a lot of the bands I have heard of before, at least not the visual kei ones. So, anybody have any J-bands they like on iTunes Japan? I really like rock, I like some of Go!Go!7188's stuff, Ukifune to be precise. I was sad to see they didn't have any of Plastic Tree's older stuff. Though I would really be happy with anything ^-^;

straightener, maximum the hormone, rentre en soi, nicotine, ellegarden

do anything for ya?

Thank you very much for replying! straightener,nicotine and ellegarden were the only ones they seemed to have. They didn't really strike me or leave a lasting impression. I guess one thing I really liked about Ukifune was that it was like nothing I had ever heard before, it felt really refreshing.

hmm, those were probably the only ones that worked because those were the only ones that spell their name in romaji. Try:
マキシマム ザ ホルモン and ガゼット

unfortunately I haven't heard of the bands you were mentioning, so I am kind of shooting in the dark.

Try GaGaaLing if you can find them on Japan Itunes, UVERWorld, AnCafe, Alice Nine, Miyavi, X-Japan, Nightmare, Luna Sea, Ketchup Mania, L'arc~en~ciel, HYDE's newer album....are some rocky ones. Nakashima Mika has some great j-rock Glamorous Sky is a good pop/rock song. I also love the girl-band 80 Pan!

I wish I had seen this thread sooner. I'm sure you've probably purchased your music by now!

T.M. Revolution

Look for:

Nightmare (in romaji: ナイトメア)
Shonen Knife (in romaji: 少年ナイフ)
Asian Kung Fu Generation (in romaji: アジアン・カンフー・ジェネレーション)
High and Mighty Color (in romaji: ハイ・アンド・マイティ・カラー)
FLOW (not in romaji)
Princess Princess (in romaji: プリンセス・プリンセス)

These are all rock bands, but some PuriPuri songs are pop-oriented.
