kanpachi · 05-13-2007

Mika Nakashima (i own one original cd of hers, more to come)
Angela Aki
Bonnie Pink
Utada Hikaru

I'd say Jrock pretty much equals Jpop. Jpop is just a term for "Japanese music", in a Japanese music store you won't find a Jrock section (atleast not in the ones I've been in), and stuff like Dir en Grey, Malice Mizer and Gazette vill stand next to Koda Kumi, Morning Musume and Ayumi Hamasaki.

MRiGnS · 05-20-2007

In addition the the artists posted before I'm listening to love psychedelico quite a bit. They just rock and I got all their records.

you would if you were shopping in japan
thats where i got some of my sheena ringo albums (the rest i got in china ,where indeed they don't separate pop and rock)
however if the english term j-pop covers rock as well - then no problem...

I've never been to a Japanese record store where they separate Jrock and Jpop.
