I like "Gimmie Chocolate" ! the visual's are much better .
of course MEGITSUNE rocks more though, just too jumpy

Although for the most part they are too "Cute" for my taste, My guess they are a big thing with
Mothers & 13 to 15 year old boys in Japan

Japanese & Heavy metal, How about this?

Loudness....Now we're talking!

I bought that album in the mid 80's as they reminded me of Alcatrazz, with those operatic vocals.

Saw a documentary exploring the world and how heavy metal influenced different countries and Japan has a huge following.

Bands like Priest and Maiden briefly toured there in the 80's but that was enough to create a large fan base and metal is still going strong.

Can't say I like MEGITSUNE that much. It's like mixing teen pop with thrash. The music is o.k. but the singing is not my thing.

Still interesting though!

Cheers,
Dave.
