Jrock, for the uninformed, is Japanese rock music. It's my favorite genre, and almost the only type of music i listen to anymore.
Some of my favorite artists are Miyavi (i would die for that man), Janne da Arc, Gackt, L`Arc~en~Ciel, and XJapan.
For the Jrock lovers here, what are your favorite artists, and why? What kind of music do they do? Are they at all similar to an American band that most of us would know (just for comparison's sake)?
