Didn't really know where to put this but I figure the Japanese forum is the best place!
What do you recommend? I want to d/l some but I'm pretty clueless and don't know where to start.
Thanks. xxx

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm not sure if they are considered JRock but I really enjoyed Porno Graffiti's Melissa single (Melissa being the opening for Fullmetal Alchemist)

Tracklist
1. Melissa
2. Mienai Yume
3. Tsukigai

L'arc en Ciel also did the 2nd FMA opening (READY STEADY GO). The single contains 5 tracks all of which the same song just minus certain member's contributions (eg version without Hyde would be no vocals)

Anyone heard of Mr Children? They're not as consistently loud as others but they're quite good.

Oh, and that opening theme is a bit too bouncy for its purposes, in my opinion.

 

[Lexicographer]

Yay, Mr Children. It's a pity I didn't listen to them whilst in Japan, because I quite like them now. Of course, I only have about three of their songs.

 

[frodo]

yeah ive got the sorta anthology of Mr Children which is cool. even though i dont understand most of the lyrics the music is cool

 

[jogloran]
