see what i mean???

Speaking of a J-rock bands and their vocalists that bring energy in their songs...

Listen to Plastic Tree's Nukegara. xD It's one of the many examples of this. It starts with acoustic guitar with Ryutaro's mellow, angelic voice. Then soft electric guitars come out and then...well..it's a surprise. =3 But the sudden energy mid-way in the song just blew me away when I first heard it. I also reccomend one of my favorite MUCC songs, which you can listen/watch here. Tatsurou has one hell of a voice. <3 And he looks cute in glasses, really. xD

And many vocalists in American band just...scream. I can tolerate screaming to a certain extent. As long it's not repetitive. xD When Reita from the GazettE is screaming, 'Whut?! Whut?! Whut?!' while Kai is pounding on the drums during the Ride with the Rockers performances...I can't help but just...errr...head bang. xD But it's more like shouting than screaming. =3 Though too much head banging gives headaches. x-x Too bad Dir en Grey's songs had gone all death metal. xD Come on Kyo...sing like an angel with your morbid lyrics! God, i'm going off topic now.

Speaking of American vocalists...again. xD My brother enjoys listening to Hawthorne Heights. I think they are alright, but man...the singer sounds bland at live performances. And nearly every Hawthorne Heights song I listened to, someone is screaming like an maniac. o_O Come on, even their nice-sounding songs suddenly get killed by someone screaming 'I'LL NEVER LET YOU GOOOO!' every damn minute.

some american singers especially rock bands screams and i don't like that...
its quite annoying actually...

I agree with you, I'm not sure why but I think that japanese vocalist are better on average than american vocalists. So I prefer them over american guys anyday. Even though they are really bishonen, I still love them. I'm not gay, but they are great musicians.

Basti Artadi of Wolfgang

and

Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom.

too many to mention...

Mana is one sexy girl...even though he is a guy. xD I want his legs, his legs looks better than mine in leggings. x-x Besides that, Mana is an excellent musician. And he is very mysterious. Now those who don't know, Mana doesn't speak in public. But he seems like an very interesting person.

M-flo consists of DJ Taku and rapper VERBAL. God, they're awesome. I love the interludes in Cosmicolor, it feels like your traveling through a city. The overall album is so great. xD

Lead singer? I don't have a band member favorite. o_O But I can name I bunch of wonderful lead singers. Satoshi of Girugamesh, what a unique voice. xD Toshi of X Japan, Jui of Vidoll, Ryuichi of Luna Sea, Teru of Glay. J-rock vocalists in general have nice voices and can bring out the energy in their songs.

Ryuutaro of Plastic Tree has such a soft and angelic voice...*melts*

Mana-sama from malice mizer. Made excellent music and was very mysterious. Mana-sama also made me gay for like 4 days when I first discovered malice mizer. If you never heard if malice mizer check them out, Mana-sama might make you gay too...

Tomo from TBG, definitley.

And how about Sean Ikeda, from Ikeda Katsu! They're a small New-England based Jrock/videogame cover band. I saw 'em live and they rocked. Check 'em out, yo'.
