J Rock Meme Day 19: Your favourite picture of your ultimate J rock hero.

I had a hard time deciding on a favourite picture of my ultimate J Rock hero, and it was not because there were too many good ones to choose from.

As a matter of fact, I hardly look at pictures of him, I spend more time listening to him instead.

Favourite J-Rock Cover Song

I knew this was going to be the hardest out of the 'favourite' series.

All of them had to be considered!

Who is your favourite Drummer?

Ok I admit it:
I don't know much about drumming.

Heck, I don't know anything about drumming. Except that double pedalling is extremely difficult to execute, some parts of a drumset are called toms and cymbals and pedals, of course.

But I do have a favourite drummer!

( Here he is! )

The internet has been giving me lots of trouble.

So here's a quick one just in case it crashes again.

This might sound paradoxical but Satoshi from Giru is my favourite vocalist even though Girugamesh is not my favourite J Rock Band.

I guess I don't take as strongly to Giru as a whole (don't ( Read more... )

The very first J rock song I ever heard was shared with me by the girl from junior college who first told me about Ruki.

But ironically, the first J rock song is not from GazettE, its from Pierrot:

Truth be told I practically forgot about this band till I chanced upon Day 11 of this meme.

Awesome!
