To those who hate metal and hardcore music because of the screaming, get a load of this.

Imagine one band screaming and all that crap, but while having a real solid .jp accent. You ever hear Japanese guys trying to sound hard? It's ****ing ridiculous, and it's especially annoying since they don't come close to having the vocal range or impact.

My roommate plays this crap all this time since he's a rabid Nihongoloid. Since he's licking the ******* of Japanese pop culture, he must have forced himself to like them.

It sounds like they're ****ing my ears.

jap hardcore is teh funneh ^^ They absolutely fail at it.

Concur

it sounds like absolute shite imo

hey hey hey now come on dir en grey is my favorite band how can u think they suck? kyo (the singer ) has one of the best damn voices in the world, and there guitarist die, well i have yet to see many people who can compare 2 him?

Well Scarecrow haves any J-rock band beaten anyway.

Dir en Grey is not that bad, it's just that you, and your friends that thinks the same, just have a different taste in music. Besides not all J-Hardcore music is that bad, it's just them trying a theme in their own way. You'd be surprised that someone in Japan would say that SlipKnot sucks or Korn is for kids that are low-selfesteemed.

So it's really all about taste.
