-w- I love Shazna all the way. They're quite unknown, which almost makes me love them even more. They're a slightly older band though. D: They've already broken up. T.T

I really like Nightmare, The GazettE, and (I don't know if they quite qualify, but . . . . ) Smile Dk.
And comparing Nightmare's sound to The GazettE's, there are definitely similarities. Now compare them to the latter. COMPLETELY different.  :o  ;)
And yes, I was introduced to the former two through anime.  ;)

Shaura (aka Juka)! And Versailles! These are both heavily on the Visual Kei side of things, but that's an offshoot of J-Rock, right?

Ooh, I love SID too. Introduced by anime, of course.  ;)
Is it sad that I can sing along with almost all of the Kuroshitsuji openings?  ;)

Also ナイトメア, Dir en Grey, and D'espairsRay - three more of my favorites, ナイトメア being responsible for three of my favorite anime theme songs ever ("Alumina", "The World", and "Raison d'Etre").

Yeeeeeeeeeees, thank you. I [re]echo it, I love that band. One of the most musically complex and layered Japanese bands I've ever heard. Goood stuff.

Yoshida Brothers are the BEST. Theres no singing it's just awesome music. The way they play that Shamisen is awesome.
It's not really JPOP or anything it's like Traditional music with a modern twist.
I want to get a Shamisen some day.

As for actaul Jpop it would probably be...eh...Nothing beats Yoshidas brothers...

I don't really like bands or groups, I just like a large variety of songs.

YES!  I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO KNOWS ABOUT THIS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING BAND

They're the only Japanese band to have ever been in my top five favourite bands.  Currently they're at number 8...and in good company. (my top 10 in order are: Rhapsody of Fire, Dream Theater, Nightwish, Amberian Dawn, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, Blind Guardian, Versailles, Rush, REM)

X-Japan isn't too far behind, but they don't rock my socks quite like Versailles does.
