[JRockGalaxy]

@Undimel What English do you speak sir. I got nothing out of what you just said.

[TheDianaJC]

@JRockGalaxy I believe he was asking if this was emoscream or metal.

[0nlyReaLGOth]

[JRockGalaxy]

@0nlyReaLGOth No? I put a bit from different legitimate metal genres, yes they're legitimate genres, not just as "screamo", plus there's power metal in the mix too.

[ricardo43859]

Crossfaith me encanto xD

[Absinthus]

Yeah think so too leangeful, they sure could use some more tsunamis and nukes.

[nicolepra45]

Seo taiji ?? :/

[aponiaa]

[Leangeful]

[BrUSomania]

I'm surprised LOUDNESS wasn't mentioned

[JRockGalaxy]

@BrUSomania They're in part 2.

[trollgirl16]

dammmmmnnn japan... you dont fuck around with metal

[Zmangaka89]

no dir en grey?? i'm sorry, but this list is missing something very crucial.

[JRockGalaxy]

@Zmangaka89 i'm sorry but you're missing something very crucial. THE DESCRIPTION. Part 1/6

[Zmangaka89]

@JRockGalaxy ah, i see. forgive me of my idiocity lol

[JRockGalaxy]

@Zmangaka89 Lol it's fine. :3

[renn0x]

-OZ- is the best band ;)

[thekingofwinther]

theb est 15 bands ever , great job dude

[JRockGalaxy]

@thekingofwinther Why thank you. Aimed at a mix of all the main metal genres, and some of the not as metal subgenres so there was something hopefully for everyone. :3

[zetsushoren]

Wtf Gunbridge, it's a Japanese Axel Rose

[JRockGalaxy]

@zetsushoren Heh. Sings like a Japanese Axl Rose (mildly) and looks like Japanese Bret Michaels. BTW he's Galneryus's singer before he changed his vocal style and in that Gunbridge played all instruments.

[zetsushoren]

@JRockGalaxy OH NO wonder lol. YES, spot on lolol

[JRockGalaxy]

@MegaKanamesama ?

[ZPanayiotis]

the song by oz is fully peace of mind by boston

[JRockGalaxy]

@ZPanayiotis Rest of the song is not, the start though for sure is pretty close. :3

[ZPanayiotis]

@JRockGalaxy haha still a good song ... great list btw :D

[JRockGalaxy]

@ZPanayiotis Thanks!

[NerdySabbath]

Thanks for the upload, never heard of any of these bands. Maximum the Hormone and Dir en Grey are the only Japanese metal bands I know. These vids are helping me discover music, & for that I thank you :)

[Darkrobin93]

really love crossfaith!

[mojototal]

Where's X-Japan?

[JRockGalaxy]

@mojototal In Part 5.

[invasiondomination]

@Epica124

Do you have a vagina?

[invasiondomination]

Usually Germany, Russia, Or France produce some of the mosy heavy metal bands but dem jap's gawt dem bawls too x3

[JRockGalaxy]

@invasiondomination Yep. Behind Europe and North America, Japan has ALOT of great bands.

[JRockGalaxy]

@JRockGalaxy Or Asia rather.

[Epica124]

@invasiondomination Morbid Angel, Death, and Deicide come from the USA. Mayhem comes from Norway. In fact most black metal bands come from Norway, Finland, and Sweden. So where dose this "Germany, Russia, Or France produce some of the mosy heavy metal bands" come from. Hell Melo Death Metal was founded in Sweden. Death metal in the USA BLack metal in places like Norway for the most part.

[HitmanWolf46]

My currently favourite metal bands form Japan:

1. Maximum the Hormone

2. Anthem

3. Sex Machineguns

4. Dir en Grey

5. Loudness

It's not that I think that on the higher position is better than lower, just can't decide which I like more xD Anyway will look for some more :)

[Ryudeathgaze]

la mayoría son banas visual kei, pero de metal no tiene nada xDDD mala recopilación xD

[JRockGalaxy]

@Ryudeathgaze Actually, very few are visual kei. Most look like normal dudes. :o

[MrPragalv]

gay bannds...check out sigh awesome stuff

[JRockGalaxy]

@MrPragalv Hey smart guy. Sigh is in this list... so yeah... you pretty much just called them gay and said to check them out. Good job. :3

[MarcxStyler]

CROSSFAITH FTW!!!!!! <3

[phantomblue97]

Where's Loudness??? They should be number 1 for sure....

[JRockGalaxy]

@phantomblue97 Erm... You do realize this isn't a top 15 bands list, but a series of six videos to introduce people to 15 japanese metal bands each. Of course if I had to pick a top 10 Loudness would be in my top 3 :P

[phantomblue97]

@JRockGalaxy

Cool maybe I'll watch the rest. Hopefully Gallhammer is in one of your vids.

[JRockGalaxy]

@metalbeast899 LOL You're hilarious. I bet they get 100X the women you will ever lay your eyes on. Enjoy your blocked-ness.

[metalbeast899]

its japanese gay metal. nothing can do about it.

[svennbreng]

Hail Japan. Brothers of the Norse. Hail!!!!!

[BOTDFfanXD]

CROSS FAITH WOOOH!!!!

[NyappyIma]

Deluhiiiiiiiiiii <3333

[metalblade000]

i like rock every tipe of rock allot but getting too paint your faces white and black or any other dark collor i thinck those people are sick or really freaky emos i hate my life kinda too but i dont do that

[JRockGalaxy]

@metalblade000 In Japan it's a form of glam rather than being emo. The girls love it, and cheer up! There's loads of great music to enjoy out there, it's yours to discover! :D

[mariestepinguis]

Deluhi ya lo conocia... y la verdad su musica si es arte, amo ese grupo

[disneyanafan]

If you call anyone else but Oz posers, I'll be fine, but when you fuck with Oz, there's hell to pay!

[metalbeast899]

some of them are japanese gay metal

[JRockGalaxy]

@metalbeast899 Bwahahaha. Look who's talking. From what it looks like you listen to the most mainstream crap on the planet, not that they all suck, but widen out a bit, just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean that it's crappy.

[TheGrusBengt]

while i dont think that the crap these guys wear looks even remotly cool, i gotta say they got some killer sounds at places. and thats all that matters folk!

[JRockGalaxy]

@TheGrusBengt Mhm, some of these bands are pretty dorky, but as long as they can play well I'm happy! :D

[xXxSynthxXx]

When i listened to crossfaith i pooped my pants



[hellzyabitch96]

Crossfaith <333

[Miguelitolilmex]

Posers!!!!!

[JRockGalaxy]

@Miguelitolilmex The only poser here is you sir. 10/15 are legit metal so yeah. You can't even remotely make an argument here.

[Bakri13]

@JRockGalaxy I Need a help , i search a japanse metal band , i only know is they are only 2 in the band.. nothing else :/

[JRockGalaxy]

@Bakri13 Any further description? What they look like? What they sound like/metal genre? :o

[NeonJalapenoOfficial]

@Bakri13 Well, Yousei Teikoku has a female singer, a male guitarist, and everything else is programmed...Could it be them?

[BWYGR111]

These faggots look like poser hard rock bands. Bet they think they're emo too! rofl fail

[JRockGalaxy]

@BWYGR111 You look like a poser metal fan. Bet you think you're cool too! rofl blocked

[metalbeast899]

@BWYGR111 men its the most gayest shit i ever see in my life...like they sucking each others dicks in their back stage.

[MetalMachineguns666]

JRockGalaxy fake video

[JRockGalaxy]

@MetalMachineguns666 Fake video? How so? I'd love to hear your explanation.

[Yuliviee]

1st song makes me think of the old slipknot =D

[jeffymatt96]

the 2nd is a bret michaels copy, a bad bret michaels copy

[JRockGalaxy]

@jeffymatt96 If you mean visually, yes lol, musically, not even close to the same style.

[CrazyDuck1996]

JAPANESE PEOPLE MUST LEARN THE DIFFERNENCE BETWEEN METAL AND EMO.

ITS LIKE COMPARING APPLES WITH TABLES.

[JRockGalaxy]

@CrazyDuck1996 Of course, cause you clearly know what you're talking about, I realize 5 of the bands aren't ACTUAL metal by criteria, but 10 of the 15 are. Learn your genres before shouting uselessness in caps lock, there's 5 power metal bands, 4 melodeath bands, and a black metal band. The other 5 are Metalcore which aren't as metal.

[CrazyDuck1996]

@JRockGalaxy theyre all gay and emo :)

[JRockGalaxy]

@CrazyDuck1996 Honestly I have no problem with opinions on here, but when they're rude, they're gone. So yeah... You're all banned and blocked :)

[fdfhhnh]

When I see something I dislike, I raged and just type what my mind thinks. When I see some faggotry emo bands (Metalcore, and Deathcore for an example), it pretty much offends me because it isn't Metal at all. Maybe, because I got used to hearing, Heavy, Black, Death, Thrash, Grindcore? The reason why I said underground Metal is because I thought I would see some bands I would recognized like ANATOMIA,Butcher ABC,Metalucifer,Sabbat,Hydroph­obia,324,Coffins,SSORC,Gotsu Totsu Kotsu,AKBK. But nope.

[JRockGalaxy]

@fdfhhnh I have Sabbat later in the series, hence the pt 1, Metalucifer is in line for a future part, as well as Coffins, but I aim for a bit of everything metal related in Japan just to introduce people to new bands that otherwise they might not have heard of, mainstream or underground.

[fdfhhnh]

Honestly, the only true Metal band is Sigh, and all of these other Metal bands are complete shit, get your facts right and stop posting randomly bands that are so called "Metal." You don't know crap about the underground Metal scene in Japan, just the mainstream crap.

[JRockGalaxy]

@fdfhhnh Who the hell said ANY of them were underground at all. Seven Seas, Donnerschlag, Gunbridge, 403, and Skywings are Power Metal, Crossfaith, Lost Eden, and A Devilish Domain are Melodeath, Deathgaze, Deluhi, and Myproof are Metalcore, and Sigh is Black Metal whoch are all actual metal, that's 12/15 bands who are all real metal. So how about you get YOUR facts straight before posting arrogant nonsense that just shows you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about at all.

[CryingMateria]

the band my proof are similar to bullet for my valentine:))

[TheRed343]

Man i love these videos. I'm just sitting here playing them one after another while going through a guitar magazine xD

[JRockGalaxy]

@TheRed343 :D

[TouchySeven]

I Freaking Love Oz - Detox :D

[JRockGalaxy]

@airplanekid77 I'd rather not, I already stated that fact in another video over a month ago.

[zeetaf]

yeah! a devilish domain

[JRockGalaxy]

@zeetaf Yeah! Someonw else who knows who they are! :D

[clipsryan]

ChThonic is my favorite oriental metal band. They're from Taiwan but I had to list them because they just don't get enough attention.

[JRockGalaxy]

@clipsryan I know! Chthonic is one of the finest black metal bands I've heard in general, perhaps I could make a spinoff series with 15 other asian bands outside of Japan. :D

[clipsryan]

@JRockGalaxy Looking forward to it.

[anderisheavy]

Muito bom essas bandas de Power metal

[blackmadina99]

i wished there were bands like this in the philippines. Only decent one is slapshock. Japan is so awesome.

[superqwerty412]

403 Forbiddena sounds like Raphsody of Fire

[JRockGalaxy]

@superqwerty412 They're both Melodic Power Metal. Jikuu Kaizoku Seven Seas is also.

[MrFiresale]

u should listening to archenemy its swedish but i bet 1 million that u cant beleve that its a girl who is singing ! ;D

[JRockGalaxy]

@MrFiresale Everyone knows Arch Enemy and that their singer is a woman. Part 3 of this series is dedicated to women in metal.

[BarfRainbow]

deluhi disbanded

[JRockGalaxy]

@BarfRainbow So did So did Di3sirae, Lost Eden, and Jikuu Kaizoku Seven Seas.

[SFxTAGG3]

first band looks like a bunch of anime characters...cool haha

[TheDestroyerComics]

WHAT? No Loudness? They rock and they're japanese, also what about the guys who sing what's up people from deathnote i forget their names but they kicked ass

[JRockGalaxy]

@TheDestroyerComics I'm not sure any of you guys read descriptions, but I did put it in big capital letters "Part 5 is available to watch" indicating that there's other parts in the series. Loudness is in part 2, Maximum The Hormone is in part 3.

[TheDestroyerComics]

@JRockGalaxy oh, sorry i didn't watch the other parts :D

[JRockGalaxy]

@TheDestroyerComics That's fine lol just making sure you know there's not a chance I'd EVER miss Loudness. They're just too awesome. :3

[sithlordrevan6661]

@TheDestroyerComics i believe the band that did the main theme for Death Note is Nightmare-Alumina is the song if that helps

[rot105and]

didint knew deathgaze.they sound sick!

from this list i knew only crossfaith and myproof ,other bands are actually not for me so i am not surprised i dont know them

i can only add Heavensdust and Metal safari to this list

[JRockGalaxy]

@rot105and Thank you! And yeah, not all the bands are for everyone, but if I can provide a couple that people like, well, mission accomplished. :D

[Screanowner]

@PrimatesRus Jealous of posers ? i dont think so

[JRockGalaxy]

@Screanowner Now where in any of these comments did he say you were jealous of them. He just said it's their culture and the girls like it too. Now you clearly are clueless if you can judge talent based on looks alone.

[alphazombieelite]

gunbridge looks and sounds like gunsnroses kinda

[daemon2797]

Where is Maximum the Hormone? lol

[DeathMetalMorty]

they just look like a bunch of Japanese emos, and trust me it hurts to say that, i love japan, but these guys kinda suck at metal.

[Suiton1]

@TheStrawberryLolicon " their fashion is so unmetal"

Poser detected.

[JRockGalaxy]

@TheStrawberryLolicon Actually yes, yes I do call them metal because they are. And their fashion, I think it's called GLAM if you've heard of it. I think it existed in that era called the freaking 80s but Japan's glam era is now. Plus I put variety into this series, not just one single type of metal but several types to please all of my viewers, not just you. So yeah you can look forward to part 6 being the screamiest yet so yeah. Have a nice day! :D

[DontNeedNames]

Hey nice video man, I didnt know some of these bands. dont listen to them haters..!

[JRockGalaxy]

@TheStrawberryLolicon Well, yes it does. Several ACTUAL genres, just to name a few, Death, Black, Metalcore, Melodeath, Grindcore, Many Alternative, Thrash, and Nu Metal bands scream too. Heck I've even heard freaking power metal and plain old heavy metal scream a bit before. So yeah, unless you're willing to rule out every genre of metal based on if they scream or not, you're bound to get some screams here and there.

[Screanowner]

Lotsa posers...

[JRockGalaxy]

@Screanowner Posers? Why, because they aren't mainstream?

[Screanowner]

@JRockGalaxy Check their style its gay -.-

[JRockGalaxy]

@Screanowner And style has anything to do with what the music sounds like?

[JRockGalaxy]

@TheStrawberryLolicon And you clearly didn't listen to the whole thing. There's like 4 screamy bands in the whole video and many less in the next parts of the series. So thank you for the random rudeness.

[JRockGalaxy]

@TheStrawberryLolicon How about you make your own list if your bands are so "amazing and wonderful".

[tenchuww]

Deathgaze ftw = Deathmetal,Trashmetal,Hardcore­,Visual kei,Metalcore

Deluhi&Deathgaze ftw !

[SangoNyanYaoiFan]

wtf? OZ isnt metal band...its just something like visual kei but not metal

[JRockGalaxy]

@SangoNyanYaoiFan And Visual Kei isn't a bunch of subgenres? It has Pop, It has Rock, and most definitely Metal. It's just a Japan's form of Glam in general not just a lone genre. So yes, yes OZ is a metal band just taking roots in Alternative Metal generally.

[SangoNyanYaoiFan]

@JRockGalaxy but i think they are just normal rock cuz they dont scream (only sometimes) and stuff like this. they just sing and dont even look so metalish

[JRockGalaxy]

@SangoNyanYaoiFan You don't hafta scream to be a metal band :o But if they do scream from time to time, that usually would classify them as either Alternative Metal, Nu Metal, or Metalcore.

[TheReverantChoir]

@JRockGalaxy I hate Metalcore >:(

[idestroytitans]

@JRockGalaxy your both sorta wrong, Oz is Hardcore, its a type of metal, Metalcore bands are like Miss May I, Parkway Drive, and Jamies Elsewhere. Alternative metal??? no they are not, alternative metal is lighter like Tool and A Perfect Circle, wich is way different than Oz

[JRockGalaxy]

@idestroytitans I do believe Tool is called Experimental Metal. Just pointing that out.

[idestroytitans]

@JRockGalaxy they are experimental metal, and Alternative metal

[Wolfmankpcenti]

The GazettE is an awesome band too!!! <3

[ShadowSayan1]

2:36 0.o WTF the beginig sounds a loy like painkiller XD

[blackkanwulf]

deathgaze es lo mejor en metal ke ha salido del bendito japon!!!!!! aunke no se si hayas metido al vizual

[Baldwinr1992]

OZ FTW!!!!!!! if anyone has any of their tabs for their songs PLEASE let me know.

[candacetravis1]

the gunbridge guy looks like an Bret Michaels lol

[Pentthesage]

@candacetravis1 I was thinking the same thing XD

[number9711]

oz looks beast

[JRockGalaxy]

@number9711 oz is beast. <3

[shwabo1000]

first song looks like a slipknot xD

[JRockGalaxy]

@shwabo1000 Whaaaat? They look nothing like slipknot :o Well erm, I suppose if you tripled the band members, made them americans and gave them all masks then I suppose yes, yes they would.

[parrish001]

@JRockGalaxy

I can see what the guy meant. Sounds kind of Slipknotish to me

[ShadowSayan1]

@JRockGalaxyActually I think he meant to say they sound like slipknot witch in a way its kind of true i can kind of see the way they sound alike but they have a lot of differences as well but there most common point is the drummers they sound a lot alike and that is definitely a good thing XD hear that same song you putit on the video and then hear surfacing from slipknot you’ll see what I mean XD.

BTW: thanks for the bands

[00BlueRose00]

japanese people know the real ROCK

[PokeBaal]

finally someone who does NOT put all Visual-Kei bands!

[JRockGalaxy]

@PokeBaal Admittedly there are quite a few, but there's also quite a few that aren't too. :3

[PokeBaal]

@JRockGalaxy I love the VK. I hate that they do not expand their musical horizons, only for no use weird hair or be cute ._.U good collection man, i needed that list, i suscribe! sorry my english :x

[JRockGalaxy]

@PokeBaal Thanks! And your English isn't too bad. xD

[sebonkira]

First band sounds just like slipknot, not that it's a bad thing. lol.

Thanks for the mix of awesome metal from the land of the rising sun.

[terrules25]

QUE ES ESTA ABERRACIÓN AL METAL!

[JRockGalaxy]

@terrules25 And is that somehow a bad thing?

[hachirou18]

@terrules25 compadre informese antes de hablar weas mas encima apuesto q escuchas pura mierda comercial :D

[Lis4Lythium]

▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬

Thumb up for CrossFaith!!

▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬

[JRockGalaxy]

@Lis4Lythium Thumbs up for the cool design!! lol

[Lis4Lythium]

You have to admit japanese people pull off the Emo/scene hair and look SO damn well

[DEADxxVIRUS]

@Lis4Lythium its not emo or scene,  ts called visual kei style

[Lis4Lythium]

@DEADxxVIRUS Mmm, i knew it was a different style its just general talk about the Japanese look

[LuciferWitch666]

Great video!

I love all these bands to!
