"what exactly is it about jrock bands do you like?"

[nyappy_melly]

Last week , someone I volunteer with asked me what it is exactly about jrock band that I like...y'know, since I kind of lost interest in American bands. All I told them was:
"I dunno. I just think their music better than American bands."

The one thing I like about Jrock bands is alot of them; when they make an album-they will have lots of different styles of songs on it (Ex: Gazette Stacked Rubbish--it has various types of music)---My husband and I have had this discussion and he even thinks that an American band couldnt get away with stuff like that or in general...I mean, I like some American bands but their whole album will sound the same pretty much..I hope that makes sense.
I also agree with you on the fan thing..I think people take their bands more serious; its weird--lol!!!

nnn~ ^_^ that made sense :D
the only jrock band i think has all their
songs sounding the same is asian kung fu generation

i totally agree with you xD
i like how Jrock bands and just J music is always updating and releasing new stuff! because sometimes you just dont hear anything from a band until like a year later @_@ but j music is always updated!
i dont really listen to American bands because i think most of them sound similar(imo) and the stuff i hear on the radio doesnt appeal to me like jrock does xD

I don't normally leave random comments, but I agree with so much of what you have said that I have to butt in ^_^

I've also noticed that Western bands don't just produce their own repetitive music, but you seem to get a few bands all coming along at the same time with exactly the same sound. When that trend is out of fashion, they disappear to make way for the whatever is next. It is just soooo boring >.<;
I also realised that I don't listen to Western bands with a vocalist who just screams/shouts. I don't mind being unable to understand the lyrics if there is a language barrier but incoherence and an inability to actually sing annoys me. Plus Japanese vocalists can put so much emotion into their singing. Their voices truly become another instrument ^_^

i usually don't mind the screaming, since i usualy ignore
it and just listen to the guitars & such, but i totally agree with you.

thats the one thing i truly love about jrock bands,
the vocalist & how much emotion they put into any song;
i'm a HUGE ruki fan & i pretty much worship the man
because of how amazing he is; and i always say how i love
how he puts sooooooo much emotion into a song, it makes me
want to cry. i know other jrock vocalists do so too; but im biased & vote ruki for being the best X)

^_^ thanks for reading~
