Sadly, rock is one of those genres that I haven't really explored much of in the Asian music scene. I do have a few bands that I absolutely adore though, so let's work with that first, shall we?
Kagrra: I don't really know where to start. From Isshi's strange lilting vocals to the haunting melodies, Kagrra's body of work is impressive, and contains a surprising amount of variety. Not content to stay with one "sound", their albums contain a myriad of sounds and tempos that can satisfy a wide range of rock enthusiasts. Let's try out "Satsuki."
The Gazette: I love his voice so much. The songs are so catchy, and are a bit... grungier, heavier sounding than Kagrra. Here's "Filth in the Beauty."
the pillows: I'm so pissed I missed catching their New York performance all those years ago. >_< Such happy, peaceful music! "Hybrid Rainbow."
L'Arc~en~Ciel: Saw them in concert at Otakon 2004 and fell in love. Hyde's got such an epic ballad-type voice... although his english accent leaves a lot to be desired. Cracked up so hard at the concert when he tried to ask us if we liked crabs. XD "Kasou."
F.I.R.: Such a pretty vocalist frontwoman. I love her voice so much! Amazing chinese band. "Lydia."
I know I'm forgetting a few groups here... but whatever.
Next come the pretty girls! I promise!
