Onmyouza or other J-Rock anyone?

Just wondering, what kind of Japanese music does anyone listen to?
Just yesterday, I discovered Onmyouza to be beyond awesome by seeing them live in Brussels ^____^
Tomorrow, I'm off to Paris for their 2nd concert and I'm negotiating with the organizer for a concert in my bar...

Other than Onmyouza, I like Gackt, Dir en Grey, Moi dix mois, although I don't know what's with all the ridiculous rape of French language in Japanese band names.

Anyone else?

My personal J-rock favorites are Janne da Arc and Pierrot..

Ive listened to a lot of bands Japanese including some really good J-indies that never made it mainstream and vanished..

I could also reccomend Hide, Aioria, Raoya, Luna Sea, Baiser, Raphael, Penicillin, Psycho le Cemu (they're more like jpop, but visually interesting), Lareine, and Miyavi..

As far as the French is concerned... It all seems, in my opinion, to be a strange Japanese mixture of romance and goth, with French sterotypically being related to romance and an old European aristocracy, that fans, particularly girls, are attracted to.
