Okay, so I don't know a huge amount about jrock, but I do know what I like and a Tokio Hotel friend asked for a brief intro, so here goes.
As far as I think about it, jrock is basically two camps: Visual Kei and the rest :). Visual Kei is very, very pretty; lots of boys in great costumes and many of them actually dressed as girls.

A Few VK Examples )
malice miazr are awesome. <3 i love them!! :D gackt and mana = love, love,m love. <333 :) Hyde is pretty but ive always liked gackt a little more. <333 And L'arc are coo lcoz they did the into song for FMA, which i love to piece.s <333 i never really go tinto L'arc so mcuh but a friend of mine a while back was a huge fan and she used to go on about ken all of the time. i dont know the other band memebrrs names, though. :(
There is much more a similairity betwnee hyde & bill than there is one between miyavi and bill. i think miyavi is much more "out there" with his tatste of clothes. :) bill's a bit more conservative, though he's still out there. <3 yeah i agree with what you said about bill & hyde. :D
i'm not resally into Gazette very much, though Samara has tried to get me into them. they're ok but they're not my cup of tea. *nods* i do think some of them are quite pretty though! :D
one day you will have Dong Bang Shin Ki up on this post too. <333 DBSK are love! :3
sorry for my typos. :(

I've always liked Hyde more than Gackt, although I love them both to pieces. Hyde just pushed all my buttons :). Ken is very cool - his guitar playing is simply amazing and I love the way Tetsu plays the bass. Yuki is a great drummer too, but I still think Hyde is the prettiest :).
I was reminded about the similarity of Hyde (Hello era) and Bill because someone did an icon montage and I noticed that they had a Hyde icon in there as well :).
I must admit I'm more into Gazette because of the fanfic than the music, but I do download their singles from time to time and their stuff is on my list to buy when I have the cash.
Ah, but DBSK are kpop, not jrock and that would be a whole different post :). (I just looked them up ::g::).
*hugs*

I have to admit i do have a lot more hyde n my compouter than I do of gackt. :( that's kind ofa shame but i do like hyde's music. (plus it was more accisible to me coz someone on my flist uploaded it :D)
Gazette did that song "Cassis", right? :) that's the one my friend showed me because iy was her favourite. i'm rpetty sure it's the only one ive listened to, so maybe i'm prejudging them before giving them a fair shot, but from what i had heard they weren't my cup of tea.
I have never read any j-pop/rock fanfic before. :O i'm going to attempt to read some DBSK fanfic soon, as samara recommended some to me. :D
DBSK are lovee~~ <333 i love their film clips (and songs) for Tri=Angle, Rising Sun and Summer Dream. <##333 so pretty. :)

My fav Gackt album is Diabolos (I don't think there's one song I don't like), my fav Hyde album is Faith (I like the halfway point between 666 and Roentgen) and my fav Laruku album is Awake (such powerful songs).
Yes Gazette did Cassis - I like Chigire and Juuyon Sai No Knife. I only have four of their song on my work PC :).
There are some great jrock stories and there are some terrible jrock stories - so good luck with the reading :).
