J-Rock Has Taken The World Music Scene By Storm
Japan has taken the world music scene by storm. Japanese Rock, or J-Rock in short, was one of their inventions that come with its own followers. Not only to Japanese themselves but also to the world. This music trend has been marked as bizarre and unpredictable. Their influences, especially their fashions and stage images, have created their own followers and fans around the world.
The J-Rock is connected closely with Visual Kei style, reminiscent of something like heroes of the production of Japanese animation. Since the late 1980s, rock bands such as X Japan helped define the Visual Kei aesthetic in Japanese rock and pop scene. Visual Kei is often focused in the West as standard for Japanese Rock music. Most of the bands like to use long titles to their songs that come with philosophic character with a pinch of influence of punk, trash metal, hard-core and gothic rock.
J-Rock performers never implement any rules regarding languages when they performed. They want to dominate the world music scene. They are open to any foreign languages like English, Spanish, French and others to record their songs. They have similarity with Psychedelic Rock of British and American in the 60s but with some positive difference. J-Rock bands are more to be creative in their music making that they tend to be drug-free and even some of them are strongly against drug abuse.
J-Rock trends have already developed in the music world. Their bands keep on experimenting in their performance and image setting. In US there are Marylyn Manson and KISS. They have the influence of the Visual Kei style although they did not sing J-Rock songs. Can this J-Rock kept its popularity in Japan for the next 20 years?
