I found that link while lurking around in the AKFG forums, and thought you guys might like to take a look at it and vote.

The link was posted at 9:41 on 31 March on the AKFG boards, so I *assume* it's not an April Fool's day joke.

It's not, it was posted all over LiveJournal on the 31st I think.

I voted, but as to my knowledge JRR hates anything that isn't visual kei. :/

Yea, they're real heavy on anything Visual Kei. Seems everyone on their forum wants The Gazette. Now I admit, I wouldn't mind seeing more X-Japan, or maybe Versailles on there. They'd be perfect for Rock Band and I think it'd be fun to play them. However, most the stuff they're suggesting, . I think it'd be reasonable to get Ellegarden and Luminous Orange on the game. Both use English lyrics a lot, clearer than most, and Luminous Orange has an album released stateside. And so do the pillows. But still, it's only wishful thinking.

Sawao's hair probably allows the pillows to be classified as visual kei.

I thought this was an update about RB: Japan

So this is for DLC? There's some songs in other languages already, including a song by X-Japan, so this doesn't surprise me.

Visual Kei bands wouldn't really fit in a Rock Band game, would they? Maybe L'arc~En~Ciel (if they can be classified as visual kei.) I would much rather see the pillows, Sambomaster, Bump of Chicken, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, NUMBER GIRL, and People in the Box. Hell, I even voted Kaela Kimura in one of my choices.

Rock Band only deals with popular music legitimized by overblown media monsters like rollingstone and other hype machines. And since japan doesnt even have a publication like rollingstone, which recognizes decent music long after it's been around for awhile, all you have to go on is whats popular amongst weeaboo groups and in the popular teen oriented music magazines in japan,

which is visual kei

so theres a very slim chance that any good music japanese music will find it's way into rock band.




which is a good thing. Rock band sucks.

If a Malice Mizer track pack ever shows up I'm going to kill my PS3.

No. Rockband means multitracks. You want multitracks of the pillows?

Voted for my favorite bands a few days ago. I hope this amounts to something.

I think you mean Guitar Hero. If I remember correctly, Rock Band 1 and 2 both contain tracks from indie artists on disc and on their online store.
