Me and my fiancé both LOVE foreign rock (we're from the USA). He found this band Dir en Grey, which he loves. Does anyone know any other good Japanese rock bands?

I like S.H.E. (S.H.E - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) but they're Taiwanese. I lived in China for two years and developed a love for Asian music! Jay Chou is also good. (Jay (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Thanks!

And I love asian music.

Guilty pleasure- Fire by 2ne1 and Lollipop by 2ne1

Here's a couple of recs from my library:

Miyavi some of his stuff is surprisingly psuedo industrial
(Song recs: "Girls Be Ambitious" and "Coin Lockers Baby")
Pierrot
(Song recs: "Agitator" and "Overdose")
High and Mighty Color
(Song recs: "Ichirin no Hana" <--Bleach Theme (season unknown)

I'm a grunge and math rock kind of girl at heart so unfortunately my J-rock recs are sparse, so sorry about that.

And if you're open to more foreign groups, they're certainly not Asian but there's a French band that I can't rave enough about:

Aqme
(Song recs: "Tes Mots Me Manquet", "Tout a un Detail Pres", "Tenebres" and "Le Rouge et le Noir")

Loudness

Late 70s metal...

I've only read about them, I haven't heard them
