Forgive me for borrowing your list, it's just shorter this way. ;) I second this and add Kyoharu. :)

That's fine. :)

Ahh, Kiyoharu. I should have added him too.

Too many to name... and I go through phases... X Japan was the first album I bought (Dahlia) and I went through a mini visual phase around the time of hide's death (X, hide with spread beaver, L'arc, Luna Sea) But I tend more toward the pop rock/band style, and the strong male/female ballad/folk singers... Mr. Children, Spitz, Bump of Chicken, Remioromen, B'z, Ellegarden, Glay, GReeeeN, Love Psychedelico, Monkey Majik, Porno Graffitti, Radwimps, The Yellow Monkey, Mongol800, Fukuyama Masaharu, Moriyama Naotaro, Yamazaki Masayoshi, Ayaka, Hirahara Ayaka, Teshima Aoi, Hajime Chitose, Hitoto Yo, Salyu, etc etc. And I don't watch so much actual TV these days, so I am about three years behind on new artists... I officially feel old :)

01. Dir en grey
My most favorite band all the time. You may not believe it, but this band changed my whole life through their music and lyrics. Their music is dark and nerve wrecking. Unlike any other bands that got softer the longer they survive, this band is totally the other way around, their music is getting darker and darker.

02. Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas
This is a fresh genre in Japanese music scene, this band mix a trance and electronic tune with heavy music. These guys totally blow my mind with their amazing music.

03. Deathgaze
A Visual Kei band which also possess a heavy music influence. Their songs are worth to check!

04. Lynch.
This band has similar music with Deathgaze, the vocalist was ex-member of Deathgaze to begin with. The only VK band which signed into major label and yet remain heavy as they always be.

05. Oz
Another badass heavy VK band which got my special impression. Released whole lotsa stuffs and almost none of them disappoint me.
