Where to start....?

[Godrina]

I just really got into j-rock recently, some bands I like are Dir En Grey, Gazette, Kagrra, and Globe. Being a bit of an idiot, I don't know too many other bands besides D'espairs Ray and Nightmare (but I haven't heard any of their music).

Can anyone recommend to me something new?

welcome to jref.

Are you on a decent connection? If you search for some livejournal communities such as jcrack that have members sharing samples of JRock bands, you're basically in VK J-Rock heaven and you'll have access to a lot of new artists.

PS- Just wondering- isn't GLOBE j-pop?

 

[Godrina]

I guess you could call it decent. Downloading doesn't take too long for me on music so I guess I can check it out, even though I'm not a livejournal user. ^^;

For Globe, I'm not sure, I just got into it cause I was following Yoshiki through his career and happened to stumble across it.

You could try http://vnl.no-ip.com/ Sign up is free and not only can you listen to audio, but you can search galleries for photos and watch PVs.

Also try Featured Content on Myspace and search under Japan.

This site is great for Jrock PVs YouTube

Search specific Jrock artists or songs on here and you can listen to them for free http://radioblogclub.com/

I started with V6 and Hamasaki Ayumi. Now I listen Arashi, Tamaki Nami, Dir en Grey, Babylon, Auswitz, etc.

 

[Rancid__]

Yay!! Wellcome :cracker:

 

[Godrina]

Wow, thank you so much for the warm welcome everyone!

 

[Andro]

For me it's better to download, because it's quicker and cheaper. And I have a lot of friends who take me a lot of music. Last weekend one of my friends gave me a whole Dir en Grey DVD with pv-s, music, concerts and a stuff that made for the Original Fanclub of Dir en Grey. I was really happy to get it.

 

[SaKeVi]

Hey!! Welcome, even though I'm here every 15 days!!

Well, I can help you out with japanese punk & heavy metal bands, but I'm not sure to upload files so often (I still owe a lot of files I promised to Kinsao :sorry: ) or be in Slsk to share them (sorry Demon!!)

Well, see you later!

 

[Godrina]

@Andro- yeah, I typically fileshare to get and give files via the net, because no stores near me even sell jrock. (There's a suncoast about an hour away but I haven't been there)

@SaKeVi- ^^ well I like all sorts of music, so I'm up for a taste of anything, then once I hear it I usually know if I like it or not.
