Japanese Goth Rock?

[scarletdarkmoon]

I don't know about you guys. But they sure do make some rocking goth rock music.

Or rock in total. >XD AT least I can understand what their saying then an amercian rock band. I hear screaming, but that's just about it.

I'd be lucky to catch a few words! >XD Man, I'm sad!

Personally, I wouldn't really consider Miyavi or T.M. Revolution "goth" exactly, same said for Psycho le Cemu..:confused:

[PinkKirby]

That would be wierd!!!!!!!!

The bolded ones are the ones I listen to...

I LOVE MIYAVI!!!! I'm obsessed and proud of it. I also love Gazette, T.M. Revolution, Dir en Gray, Due le Quartz!!!! <3 <3

[MorbidGnome]

Goth rock? Is that really possible? Aren't they really two totally separate genres?


Anyway, I listen to lots of Gazette, Kagrra, .Lab and Lareine. And Due le Quartz, afterall, who cares if they broke up?

[kawaiikitty]

i am so sad... there is nowhere around here where i can get J-rock. :( :( :(

[gwenz]

[Manji]

check Onmyouza ^^

[TsukasaNIGHTSHIFT]

plus...since i don't know if some of these bands are goth i just say that they are Visual Kei.

[Menstrual Cramps]

Most of these aren't even goth rock to be honest.
In fact, a few of these bands are as pop as you can get or aren't even bands.
Shonen Knife which was one of my first loves [I have a signed poster I got from them] is now broken up.
T.M Revolution is pop and is a one person act. Puffy Ami Yumi is also pop.

Miyavi is just really rock, DEG has changed a lot going from V-K to just rock.

One of my all time favorites because SK is gone? eX-GIRL. Listen to them, they are most awesome. <3

[tsukasa]

while not Japanese - Nosferatu, Nightwish are 2 i really enjoy

[stacia12]

i like it but i never here one tell me about it

[CÍARAN_panic]

Not to sound like an elitist ass but those [bands said before] are mostly Visual Kei.
Hrm..try to find some stuff by the
Sadie Sads

[Jacku]

Here is a few i listen to:

alice nine, bis, BLOOD, Dir en Grey, Due le Quartz, Gackt, Gazette, GLAY, [figure:], hide, kagerou, Kagrra, Karma Shenjing, kra, L'arc~en~Ciel, Lolita23q, Malice Mizer, Miyavi, Panic Channel, Phantasmagoria, Psycho le Cému, Puffy Ami Yumi, Schwarz Stein, SID, T.M. Revolution


If those bands are goth then I'm an alien.

Actually BLOOD is pretty goth (according to what they say about themselves anyway).
I'm too lazy to explain about those other bands though.

[Iblis]

According to what I say about BLOOD, they're a bunch of arrogant pricks. :DDD~~

[Nekochii]

Goth rock? Is that really possible? Aren't they really two totally separate genres?
That's what I thought too, but apparently some guy in Japan decided to mix the two genres up I guess.

[YamPuff]

I prefer Japanese punk rock emo goth bands myself.

[rococo]

That's what I thought too, but apparently some guy in Japan decided to mix the two genres up I guess.
Rock is about the ONLY form of goth, unless you count the whole industrial genre. X3 I dunno where the "gothic metal" thing came from ... but if you go back to the original gothic bands back in the early 80s, it's all quite slow, melodic or dirgey rock.

I don't really know any Japanese Goth stuff, I just sort of browsed in hoping that there'd be some good stuff recommended! ^-^;

[Kyaa the Catlord]

One wonders Is this goth or does the band simply like lamps?

[YamPuff]

The world may never know.

[Rin8]

Bands that consider themselves goth, and not visual kei, would be Moi dix Mois and BLOOD. I don't know what other bands consider themselves goth... Ones that look goth, although to my knowledge are still considered Visual Kei: Malice Mizer (Klagha era), Sito Magus, D... (blanking out, can't remember what any of the bands look like...)
