    Seriously how can there be a Japanese metal thread and no mention of Sabbat?

    Well, there's so many incredible bands that haven't really been mentioned yet either. ;) I admit that I've not really listened to Sabbat much (although I have listened to quite a bit of the English Sabbat, but that's an entirely different thread right there) and you know, if there's anything else this thread has ommitted please post!

    Another band that I really liked recently was Nocturnal Bloodlust :D

    Yeah One Ok Rock are more a kind of standard Foo Fighters / 30 Seconds to Mars / Fall Out Boy kind of rock but as a musician I really appreciate their composition style and technical ability :o

    I liked some of the ones in that post, can't remember which as it was like 2am when I was listening to them, I had to stop opening youtube videos from this thread cause some were either NSFW or just not the sort of thing you want colleagues seeing on your screen, I'll have to revisit them when I have some free time and I'm not in work :pac::pac::pac:

    I enjoyed Girugamesh a lot. Maximum the Hormone are really growing on me. D and some of the other Visual Kai stuff, not so much, I kind of feel it's only so-so without the elaborate videos IMHO, but I understand the look/videos is a big part of the style. Some of the more folk stuff is seriously fun though :)

    Oh no way, I really disagree there! :eek: Ignore the videos and you've still got absolutely incredible music, amazing songwriting and one of the best metal vocalists ever!

    The great thing about Japan is the relative open-mindedness compared to the west, even conventional idols releasing a full on power metal track

    It's pretty good, but I just don't like how overpowering the vocals are in the mix. You do have a good point though, regardless of my criticism :o

    Hey Lyaiera, you ever listen to The Pillows?

    And on a different note, something that's fascinated me for quite a while is the whole vocaloid thing, synthesized voice softwear developed in Japan, and some clever folks have been doing some vocaloid metal that is surprisingly good. :D

    I just put it on. I'm two minutes into the first track, The Pillows - Ride on Shooting Star. It really makes me think about how Japan has incorporated pop music into a huge amount of their music.

    Loving Minus Jin-Say Orchestra (マイナス人生オーケストラ)

    Saw them performing with Girugamesh a few months ago and decided to go see them myself. Unfortunately, their studio recordings are lacking, since they're not properly signed. Their lives are ridiculously fun, though.:D

    It was Gotsu Totsu Kotsu. They're named after a famous samurai which helped my hunt!
    Anyway, it's the last song on 2013's Legend Of Shadow. Which is a fine album besides. :)
