first off ill name off a few of my more favorite j-rock bands so you can get into understanding my taste.i love the pillows (makers of the whole sound track for flcl) asian kung fu generation (made intro to season 5(?) naruto and the last season of full metal alchemist (TT.TT)) i also i like l'arc~en~ceil (first (us...jap. it was 2nd) season of full metal alchemist)

but what i have been listening to lately has been really heavy,some thing i have rarely heard in music.this is dir en grey.they like to jump around from music genre to genre like techno, rap,slow rock, to their album ''missa'' which reminds me of the very heavy iron maiden.

if you know of other heavy metal band from japan i should cheak into plaese pm me.
