I thought one would see some: Les Rallizes Denudes, Mono, Boris, Acid Mothers Temple. I understand its a ”rock” list but these bands (LRD) have shaped a lot of the sound coming out today.

I’m surprised Luna Sea and L’arc~en~Ciel are not there. They’re way more popular than Dir en grey in Japan. Of course, I’m happy to see Dir en grey there because I freaking love them and they’re awesome!

Glay are interesting; their post-BOOWY aesthetic chides me merrily and keeps me grinning for days.

I must say that the inclusion of Cornelius has let my spirits down. He has always striked me as an opportunist, a fucking loser exploiting earnest cultures with his postmodern aesthetic. Yeah, man. Shibuya-kei is dead.

The Stalin brought an incredible melange of prole ethos and rock energy into my life, Moonriders captivate jime – quintessential pop with an eccentric and literate twist – and doubtless inspired Mr Children. DOUBTLESS. I will defend the barricades of my point here until DEATH comes!

The stupid choices made in this list are clearly the result of the editors knowing fuck all what they’re on about. Bunch of poser Japanese twats clearly know less about Japan than me, otherwise Imawano would be #2.

#1 would be Shiina Ringo and Tokyo Jihen. Yes, both of them. She is a goddess, a veritable queen. For some real fucking insight check my blog.

Oh and all visual kei is shite. You peasants.

Y’all are such haters. Let’s just do a quick review of musicians who have rocked so hard that they made headlines with their destroyed hearing.

B’z? No!
L’Arc-en-ciel? No!
Hamasaki Ayumi! Yes!

It follows therefore that H.A. is the most hardcore Japanese rock musician of all time.

to “B’z_the_greatest,” Ayumi Hamasaki has no place on a list like this… ever
