Best "live" j-music acts
Just like it says up yonder. What are you favorite live j-acts? Feel free to tell as many as you like, and preferable with a reason you like them. And by acts, I mean from the poppy nami tamaki, to the techo/house aural vampire, to the unusually "cheerful" ken hirai, to the rapping rapidity of teriyaki boyz.... When I say j-music acts, I mean everyone. Well I feel its only right to start off myself. Oh yea, no one is right or wrong, if you like something you like, no one can tell you are wrong. If you like kumi koda because you can see her booty cheeks wiggle live, its a perfectly valid reason why you think she's better live. No disagreeing with people's thoughts.
Okay top 3 Jihen- I think that their sound is much better live. I feel that as a band they should just jam and record live all the time Plus anytime shiina gets sweaty, I burst a blood vessel.... YMO Do I really need to say anything? Man they were made to perform live, I think that no only do they sound better live, but I often like the balence of the live shows better. balance meaning what sounds I can and can't hear. POLYSICS POLYSICS POLYSICS The most energetic front man ever invented. I actually saw them live in orlando... Mind blowing! The audience was dead (because most were there to see other bands), but they still rocked so FUCKING hard! They are like that always, every recording I see it so much better than the recorded version. Plus fumi-sama is 10x sexier in real life... she signed my poster with her own hands... <nosebleed>

I've never seen a japanese band perform live in my entire life, I believe..
But the ones I'd like to see most are Shiina Ringo (You've probably heard of her by now.), Asai Kenichi because I like each and every song he's written, pretty much, I like his voice and guitar playing, has a childish feeling to it (In a good way). And Ozaki Yutaka just because of his powerful voice. (This can't happen though |

Two words: Phase One.
I saw a band Budo Grape live (never hearing of them priorly) and they were fantastic. But then theyre not only the only Japanese band I've seen live, but the only band Ive seen live that wasn't a Beatles Cover band =p

Okay... I saw JCHI live... trust me it's much better than that dvd with the "motion graphics". I think I would have enjoyed DO more though... it was basically after watching DO that I made up my mind to catch TJ live... and then Mr Cloudie appeared. -.-
and then there is LUNA SEA. I adore them. Last but not least, SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS. They jazz.

Well, the band played my hometown, San Antonio. Which is completely unheard of. Lots of japanese bands play SXSW in Douche-town (Austin), or play in Dallas and Houston. Frankly short of Shiina herself, I'm not even thinking of driving all that way (except maybe Austin.)
But a band from Japan travelling to play down the street from me? As long as its not Gackt, I'm totally there.

Totally didn't realize this at first budou is grape in japanese, my favorite fruit, fruit in japan is yummy! Are they visual kei? I swear I've heard of them before, it was positive stufff, maybe I heard a song or two, but didn't know it... But how is she live... she is someone who I was supposed to start researching, but something happened and I didn't. Is she a dancer, a stand there and look at you person, is she a I feel the music person? How is she live, also did she ever have any other names, or was in another band?

I'm just gonna say this one for now... just because it got a lot better live, and never was really that interesting on the album. I saw this tour back in 2006.
And this version. I mean the original was good, but, this almost-live is cool.
