I can recommend some good j-rock bands:

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION - Rewrite (I don't think there's anyone who never heard about them...)
ART-SCHOOL - Diva
STRAIGHTENER - The Remains
CHATMONCHY - Koi no Kemuri (band formed by 3 girls, totally recommended)
GO!GO!7188 (Any song.. they're too good, but I suggest "Koi no Uta")
ELLEGARDEN - Space Sonic (pop-punk all the way!! you won't believe it's actually a japanese band when you listen to their songs)

To me, J-Rock=SIAM SHADE. It's different, it's heavy, it is not visual kei and they do not dress up. I mean, they only care about music. Even at their final concert it looked like they was hanging around a bar and thought "well, it's about the time, let's play!"... Their songs are heavy and you can hear the vocalist, it is not just demonic screams. I totally recommend them.

...too bad they disbanded... :crying

Siam Shade was a great band. Dreams is probably my favorite song by them. It's got one of the best solos. Daita is one of my favorite guitarists, awesome playing. I'd recommend his solo material too.

Hmm. My favorite artist beside H!P is

L'Arc~en~Ciel --> eventhough I'm a boyz, but I adore Hyde.. He looks so awesome.. :XD: Hell yeah..

Mr.Children --> I think this is the best band who make the best video clip. You should watch them all. And I'm sure that if you have it, you will begin to adore it. :wink:

JRock:

- MUCC - Pretty much the best JRock band imo, their music was a lot more aggressive earlier, but they're still awesome. Their new album "Gokusai" is incredible.
- The Gazette - Loved the last three singles, I think they're improving a lot. "Filth in the Beauty" rox.
- Gackt - Well.. Everyone knows him. I love to sing along to "Arittake no Ai de". :blush
- Luna Sea - "Crazy about you" and "I for you" are simply beautiful.
- Taia - A new JRock band with a woman as a front singer, which isn't often the case in JRock. "Asymmetry" is impressive for a first album.
- Miyavi - His guitar strumming is awesome. But everyone knows him anyway..
- D'espairs Ray - "Garnet" got me hooked up. Awesome song, heavy guitar riffs combined with classic instruments.
- Laruku - The Japanese Rolling Stones? They've been in this business for.. like forever?

JPop:

- Momusu - who woulda thought? :lol:
- YUI - She writes all her songs, plays guitar and looks almost scared when she's not holding her guitar. In one word: Sugoi.
- Younha - She started playing piano at the age of 4, learned Japanese all by herself by watching Japanese TV and now she's becoming a star in Japan. Jeez.. She's like perfect.
- Chihiro Onitsuka - Her voice is incredible. You should try her song "Gekkou", it's gonna blow your mind.
- Rie Fu - Everyone who knows Bleach will know her as well. She's one of the few JPop-artists with almost perfect English skills.
- Mikuni Shimokawa - Full Metal Panic openings and endings. Does that ring a bell? "Minami Kaze" ftw!
- Mika Nakashima - Never really liked her til I listened to the "NANA" album.
- Ayu - Well, yeah, her new album "Secret" was so good, I just had to put her in my list.

Other:

- Dragon Ash - One of the first bands to be successful with Hip-Hop in Japan. And one of the best. Check out "Deep Impact".

Don't break the Pocky in your hearts.

Those are the following Japanese/Korean artists I recomend:
H!P (of course!! :sob: )
BoA (I'm really amazed by her)
w-inds. (though they were better a couple of years ago)
Ai Otsuka (a cute girl with a cute voice)
Hinoi Team (I really like their dances, specially to Night On Fire)
Koda Kumi (she has a great voice)
NewS (very good looking boys ^^)
Tegomasu (two of the boys from NewS in their own duo)
Ayumi Hamasaki (she's.. special in her own way)

I think those are the only J-pop/K-pop (BoA) artists I listen to^^
But I also recomend this Swedish guy name Måns Zelmerlöw.
This song is called Cara Mia and came on third place in a Swedish competition some weeks ago (he should have won though) ^^;
Here's the PV: http://www.youtube.c...4...ted&search=
And here's the Live version from the competition:
