    I've heard of Aqua Timez but I never listened to them. Have you heard of Ayumi Hamasaki?

    Why does it always have to be separately sorted just because its Japanese? There is no stylistic difference between western rock and Japanese rock, so it is pointless to sort them differently, after all, American rock isn't called A-rock, British rock isn't called B-rock and Finnish rock isn't called F-rock. The nonsense about J-rock is because weeaboo kids think that anything Japanese is inherently better than the western equivelent simply because its Japanese.

    For example:

    Compare the Japanese band Galneryus to a European band of the same genre (neo-classical metal), such as Stratovarius or Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force. Notice, stylistically, Galneryus is highly similar to both Stratovarius and Yngwie Malmsteen, so why does it have to be sorted differently than other bands of the same genre simply for being Japanese?
