Japanese Alternative/Punk/Hardcore - JoshuaCJCohen - 2012-06-09

Hi,
I'm looking for some Japanese music to listen to but all I can find is Jpop and girl bands. ACK! Any good punk/alt bands out there? NOFX, MXPX, the Ataris, Dance Hall Crashers, etc. Even Japanese Ska bands would be great.

Thanks,
JCJC

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, as I dunno if not being a girl band was a requisite.

Hmmm. How about SHAKALABBITS?

Don't know anything about the bands listed here:

At a casusual glance however, and I am not an expert in this matter, none of them appear to be J-pop. : )

If you find a band you like please enlighten us.

Me, I'm off to the opera this afternoon: The local cinema is screening a documentary about the Götterdämmerung, this being the culturati''s equivalent of death-metal.

you're welcome。

there's lots of awesome japanese bands. you should find a couple that you like then look for other similar bands via last.fm or youtube.

明和電気!

Not punk. Definitely alt, but not quite the alt perhaps the OP was looking for.

I like their engineer shtick and also the fact they build robots to play their songs for them. Conceptually interesting. A whole concert however would probably be pure torture.

Hmm, I'll add a few:

Ellegarden (Most of their songs are in English, but there are a few in Japanese):



Aural Vampire:



ONE OK ROCK:





Oh, and I second using Last.fm to find new bands similar to the ones you like.
It's introduced me to a lot of groups I love, which I never would have heard of otherwise.
They even have a Japanese version (lastfm.jp). ^-^

Aural Vampire - Isn't that a girl band : )


Japanese Alternative/Punk/Hardcore - Tori-kun - 2012-06-10

Absolutely unrelated to the topic, but since we are talking about music: does anyone know bands/groups making music like ChouChou/OrcaOrca? I discovered them recently and I'm just blown away o_o This is an example: http://youtu.be/UfrMELcvi8k

Not sure if these are along the lines you're looking for, but worth giving it a shot.

0.8秒と衝撃 is great. They're weird, noisy, and a lot of fun.



犬神サーカス団



Dir en Grey



The Pillows



Hopefully there's something in there you might like.

Japanese Alternative/Punk/Hardcore - Fallacy - 2012-06-16

Since people are suggesting Japanese bands, does anyone have any good recommendations for heavy metal? What about something like power metal or melodic death metal?
