I fell in love with a lot of the indie bands coming out of the US and Europe the last few years and it reminded me of what X-Japan sounded like during their prime.
That brought me back to J-Rock and I discovered a bunch of bands that produced some great music.
if you're interested about J-Rock, check out the following bands:
X-JAPAN (forefathers of visuel kei, perhaps my favourite J-Rock band)
L-arc-en-ciel
HYDE (lead of L-arc)
LUNA SEA
Malice Mizer (old school VK)
Dir en Grey
GACKT (little more on the poppy side, but he's got a few token rock songs)
Sex Machineguns
There's too many to list, but there's a good start.
Recommend some English bands now will ya?

nice taste =D
xjapan. may hide r.i.p. my friend was at his funeral. when the remaining members played forever love for him that was very tear-jerking. i always wait for the one day someone will sing Art of Life, in it's 30-minute glory, at karaoke.
psycho le cemu's pretty awesome too. pretty sure you heard some of their sounds before too.
but i'm a fan of the pop stars from my country too. AKB48, Nami Tamaki, Brilliant Green, etc.
