I'm into Japanese VK and Jrock, but I also like rock. however my jrock and vk band list and cd collection could go on for miles.getting to meet the members of X Japan at otakon though, that was a shinning moment for me
I freaked. lol
I have tried to like X Japan but just couldn't get into it.. though I know they are like the godfathers of Jrock.
Oh, I forgot about Dir En Grey. They're awesome!Alice nine

And many many MANY more
I don't like a lot of the Visual Kei bands to be honest.. the ones who look like they borrowed their sisters make up.. the music always sounds epic and then the guy starts singing and it SUCKS.
That's when you blame the poor choice in singer, not the band entirely. My favorite band (KAGGRA, ) unfortunately not only disbanded but their lead singer passed away. And he had a good voice too.
Well I mean I blame the singer, but it ultimately dooms the entire band because I have to like to singer to enjoy the band.
