I knew it you will recommend UVERworld , Temmy but yeah they're good
Muse's awesome
. I love Blackholes & Relevations & frontman Matthew's hot
anyway zyoeru , since you already specified that you don't want people to recommend Johnny's material (
dammit no chance to brainwash on this xD) , I recommend a lot of great jrock stuff since rock's my fave music genre & I tend to listen to a lot of it if I'm not having a Johnny's moment or 2
you can check out these great jrock bands other than UVERworld
- abingdon boys school (they're 1 of the 1st few J artistes I started to listen to of them since I began my jpop music journey 3 years ago & they're still 1 of my fave groups up to now & they have put out 3 singles this year & I want a 2nd album soon)
- BREAKERZ (just like KAT-TUN , I'm a BREAKERZ stan all the way ! By a stroke of luck or 2 , I was watching MTV Taiwan & their 1st PV of their debut single SUMMER PARTY / LAST EMOTION was aired non stop & the rest's history)
- flumpool (I dare you to listen to Hana ni Nare & not get hooked onto the song on 1st listen & their mini album Unreal's great)
- GLAY (I'm not that familiar with their older works since they have been around for 15 years but their latest single I am xxx is kick ass)
- L'arc~en~ciel (ditto just like GLAY but you can try their latest album KISS which's a great listen & NEXUS 4/SHINE is solid)
- B'z (ah I just discovered recently how f-king awesome they're . Ichibu to Zenbu / DIVE really coverted me to their fan within an instant)
- SID (1 of my current fave bands , it's SID SID SID
. Their new album hikari's really cool from the start to the beginning & Uso is beautiful
)
I can recommend somemore cool stuff . If you need extra , just let me know about it
