I need some new Japanese music guys. Here's what I like (Japanese and English)

Dir en Grey
Maximum the Hormone <3
Shakalabbits <3
Gollbetty <3
the Misfits <3
the Ramones
Osaka Popstar
Pearl Jam <3
Flyleaf
Lady Gaga (couple songs)
Mushroomhead
Soil
Midnight Pumpkin
Kate Nash <3
the Clash
Social Distortion <3
Flogging Molly <3

Um.. there's plenty of other stuff but this is a nice rounded list. If anyone could recommend Japanese stuff similar to this stuff I'd appreciate it. Particularly Pearl Jam. They are ruining my immersion environment lol (Also, Eddie Vedder's solo work counts as Pearl Jam for the purposes of this list).

Japanese along the lines of Gaga would be really good too. She's my embarassing guilty pleasure... Cleaning music ^.^

This is what i have only for guys japanese is HEY! SAY! JUMP  

[Rocking Reaper]

You've already got some good ones in Diru and MTH, I'm generally into heavy metal but I also really like a couple of J-pop artists

May'n
Nana Mizuki
High and Mighty Color

oh and if you don't mind some really oldschool Visual Kei stuff then X Japan is definately the way forward.  

[Warabe no akuma]

Murasaki Kami

Amyroth

MUCC is pretty savage.
Only Japanese band I listen to.

So far this is the only Japanese suggestion I've both been able to find and enjoyed. ^^ Thanks!

If you're having trouble finding some of the mentioned bands, maybe I should post both suggestions and links for you? I know of quite a lot of bands, and good songs by them as well. Before I do so though, would you be able to specify which Japanese bands you already like and what genres of music you like as well? Thank you.

[Najira]

There is this unknown scent coming from the opposite one.
Although I can breathe normally, I seem to crumble eventually.
If you could love me deeper than just those words

The GazettE; for inspirational and life experiencing, powerful music

SuG; for a more happy and upbeat, dancing music

Miyavi; for his out of the ordinary, be who you are and not like everyone else's attitude

Dir En Grey; for that raw material to scream and thrash about madly xD

I could go on, I love them all, they are all unique in there way, but my suggestion for great music is The GazettE

I could believe only you standing before me.
In the suddenly showing past, the times we would touch,
Could not fill the fragile emptiness, floating on those tears.

dir en grey kicks a** in concert, i almost got taken out by shinyas drumstick when he threw it off stage...if only i didnt think it was a piece of trash i could have been hit by it and picked it up from there >: (
