To all you other Far East connoissuers I have a question: how is the iTunes selection of Asian pop and rock music, especially Jpop and Jrock?

I'm considering downloading it but I don't want to waste my time if they don't have enough to bother with. Thanks in advance!

i have itunes, and it has a limited supply of jpop and jrock, but whats cool is you can change the country of your itunes. if you scroll down the bottom there should be a little link that says change counrty, and it will come up with little icons of flags. japan is right down the bottom, click on it and then it will change your itunes to japanese, and all the text is in japanese and the currency changes to yen, but its pretty easy to work out, and you can search for bands and everything. its really cool. and well obiviously they are gunna have heaps. But to buy any of it you will need an japanese itunes card which you can get from here
JBOX
which also explains the process that i just did as well.
i hope this helps!

Wow, there's a lot!
I am really interested in visual kei, so I usually get all my music at iTunes.
First of all, there is Gackt, a former member of Malice Mizer, though I must say there is no Malice mizer in I tunes...
There's Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet-...
Well, you have to search, really.

I think itunes just hates me.lol
All I can ever find on there is an cafe, even when i change it to japan. :/

I have so much Malice Mizer, Dir en grey, gazette, Hitomi, maximum the hormone, Utada, & Moi dix Mois on my old ipod but I don't know how to transfer it to my new one since my old pc crashed that had my itunes library on it. :/

I tried to use that "ipod2ipod" crap, and it didn't work. It's so frustrating.
