J-pop

[Nasser]

I can understand where you are coming theres alot of good j-rock but in the end that leave the vocalist out....I don't know japanese and I don't wanna force feed the words. Which most I'll get wrong due to dilect and or slangs, if you know any good J-Rock Band that sing the entire song lyrics in english I'm all for it but then you also gotta consider J-rock would be consider fairly indie in the USA....SO I just that depend on the staff over at Harmonix

[TomoSeibokuji]

Love Psychedelico, Shiina Ringo, Amano Tsukiko, some other Judy and Mary (Motto comes to mind). I won't hold my breath but I would have to say if I saw any of these become avail as DLC I think I might actually lose it (in a good way).

Utada Hikaru has several songs in english (Simple and Clean, Passion, Exodus '04), as well as Puffy a.k.a PuffyAmiYumi(Planet Tokyo, Teen Titans Theme, A bunch of songs off of Splurge). I'm sure others have plenty as well, these just pop into my mind.

I would LOVE some Japanese music in Rock Band.

Ulfuls would be my first choice.
Samurai Soul - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THS80nAS73w
Banzai (suki de yokatta) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzExw9cW7mU
A****a ga aru sa - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jQ9nkntMjA

And about 30 more songs by them.

Other songs I'd like to see:
The Blue Hearts - Linda Linda http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=422sb...eature=related
Yamaguchi Momoe - Playback http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biuG3x_M980
Southern All Stars - Manpi no G-spot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQwm7HIBLTg
Fukuyama Masaharu - Peach!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NCTBLCFLJY
Sharan Q - Zurui Onna http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBijcH8htSE

I'm not holding my breath on these, but I'd be willing to pay twice the regualr DLC price to get them.

It would definitely be nice if the DLC for all regions was available in every region.

I'd rather see some L'Arc~En~Ciel. o_O

Dont forget X Japan (I'll Kill You, I.V., Crucify My Love, Art of Life, Kurenai, etc.), Beat Crusaders (Hit In The U.S.A.), or Shonen Knife.

OK, count me in... how about some Dragon Ash?

Old thread? But I just got rock band, for the drums and the mic, and I am wishing for the J-pop and J-rock so badly...

The only songs on the game I truly love are the Black Sabbath ones: I downloaded those right away, and once we get better at the game, I'll probably download anything by Metallica and Rush

but there's a sad need for different songs on here...the complaint of not being able to sing the songs is completely invalid. When people start asking for European metal, are they going to complain about not being able to sing in German or Russian? I think people will look past the language because it's "METAL!!!!!"

but listen to something like Yaida Hitomi's CREAMY POTATOES, Otsuka Ai's PON PON, or Ayumi Hamasaki's Talkin To Myself and tell me you wouldn't play them...

i'm japanese, not super fluent in japanese, and i like alot of japanese rock, but i'd rather have music i could understand when singing... i think you can connect with it a bit more but thats just my 2 cents
