This world is dedicated to J-Rock and everything related to it.
I’ll mostly be posting pictures and videos that I find across the net. Interviews and general news about J-Rock will also be posted here. In other words, the kind of posts you will be finding here will be pretty random, since those are my types of posts.
If you would like to be able to post here, just send me a PM and I’ll be happy to add you to the list of Guest Posters.

In case some of you didn’t know what J-Rock is (though I’m sure most you do), J-Rock is short for Japanese Rock. And since I’m not good with explanations, I’ll let the music talk in my place. Check out the links below for a few examples of J-Rock music.
Although they might look cool and serious in their videos and during interviews, they are actually a buch of dorks! (in a positive way, of course)
Proof?
If you have yet to find yourself on Miyavi's site, you might want to do it now. New world tour schedule is up! They're still working on the USA dates though. When the schedule was first put up they had the names of the USA cities but no dates next to them, except for sometime in October. Apparently they've decided to take down the names all together until the dates are confirmed. So for now Americans let us be patient! Everyone else.... is Meevers coming to a town near you!?
A new band I recently found, you might have heard of them but if not, here's why you should check them out~!
First off, they are very unique. Their albums play around stories that they write out, each member dressing as a character in the story. Their first album was a story based around monsters. Their current theme is Cyber Universe. Another thing I like about the band is that there are two vocalists. In fact, most of the band had already performed under the name 'Isabelle'. But they reformed after disbanding, added another vocalist, Yuki, and renamed themselves Mix Speaker's Inc.
Here's one of their music videos that came with the CD. I like it ^^
Innocent World
If you're looking for a band that is really out there, these guys are for you. And research them a little bit, there's a lot more behind them then just good music. ^^ I personally think the fact that they have their own little universe in each album makes them a very interesting band to follow.

EDIT: Apologies, apparently theO has a five picture limit. So unfortunately for seek and S you're going to have to click a link instead of view the picture right here. :/ Sorry for the incovenience.
My friend, Jessie, bought their CD and the PV for this song came with it. I remember watching it and could not take my eyes away from the screen. I actually forgot where I was. I only wish that you could experience it on a television with good speakers. Instead, all I can provide you with is this youtube clip. I hope you will enjoy it all the same:

p.s. Ignore the rude comments that people posted with this video. Some people just have no respect for the dead V.V
There is going to be a memorial tomorrow (Saturday) for Jasmine You in both New York City and Los Angelos. If anyone is planning on going please let me know how it went? I wanted to go to the New York one but sadly nobody wanted to take the four hour drive with me. :/ Sorry Jasmine, I've let you down. V.V
Oh, and if you didn't know about it and would like to do it as last minute, information can be found here:
Huh, it appears they just decided to do one in Seattle as well. So a Jasmine You memorial is being held in NYC, LA and Seattle. If you live anywhere near those areas and are a Versailles fan PLEASE GO!
Sorry for posting that so late, I've been super busy. @.@
