Japanese music stars form band 'to make the world rock'

Fantastic! Although if you wanna make the world rock to your music, your probably gonna have to take a lead out of K-pop and sing a bit more in English.

"...preserve the spirit of rock music."

Me thinks U2 already did this year ago.

The Last Rockstars, in a race against time to preserve the spirit of rock music.

> “We’ve come together to start this challenge for the world out of Japan,” Yoshiki of X Japan told reporters Friday

I love X but perhaps if they helped more music independent younger groups that are trying to survive and breakout and not be forced into the talent agencies/record company mold with everything choreographed and all the songs formula by staff writers.

Look at Band-maid, lovebites, maximum the hormone, wagakki band, all should be massive but refused the corporate/agency controls chosing to write an play their own creations.

Help the next independent generation

I suspect a hidden agenda.

Filthy rich rock stars to save the world with rock. Yawn. So out of touch.

Earth to Japan---the rest of the Earth have no idea about your "Rockstars".

No need to form a new band, just put The Yellow Monkey on a world tour. Far far better "rock" band than the these pop and metal bands.

@jadefeldtophelia Thanks for that. Bandmaid are especially good. They do a nice grungy rock and, unusual for J-bands in the US, they really engage with the audience and have great presence.

One OK Rock are already there.

Just had a listen to ‘ band-maid ‘ and if you really think they are ‘ good’ then I’ m one of Santa’s helpers!

I am surprised you had time to comment, considering how busy you must be preparing Christmas gifts for Santa this time of year.

Here's some good rock while you're wrapping presents (though he isn't wearing a maid's unform) https://youtube.com/shorts/fFJJ-aYsGl4?feature=share

keep lining up at the concerts to buy the cds to get enough vouchers and then they’ll send you some panties to sniff.

Whatever floats your boat. I generally don't go to rock concerts unless I have reason to be backstage.

Wow then I guess you must be an unbelievable musician to be so high and mighty to criticize then.

Seems Jimmy Page you know of that little British rock band known as Led Zeppelin disagrees with you not only going to their concert but going backstage asking to meet Akane praising her performance and having his photo taken with her.

I am not young, I have seen the Legends in concert Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Rod Stewart, Genesis with Peter Gabriel as lead, Queen before they could even get a gig in NY, X Japan, Southern All Stars, Eikichi Yazawa, Elton John, etc...

Spent the mid 70s through the 90s on one roll or another.

These girls are top musicians.

If you can do better let use know your next show so we can judge for yourselves.

The First Queen concert was 52 years ago 27 JUNE 1970 in Cornwall. The last Queen gig was 36 years ago at the Knebworth Festival on 9 August 1986 which I was at. "A Night Of Summer Magic ". 120,000 people.

The finals gigs of Led Zeppelin were also at Knebworth on 4 and 11 August 1979. I was also at that one. Their first one was on 7 September 1968, 54 years ago.

I’d never hear of any of those bands but just checked all of them out. I liked Lovebites. Thanks for the recommendations!

and the absolute best heavy rock band at the moment….

earthless

Just gave them a listen. I’d never heard of them. They’re good. They sound more 1970 than 2022, which I like.

Bill & Ted...
