The music the members like/liked

I always think it's interested to know what kind of music the members listen to.
I make a list of the bands/artist they like, you can ask me to add some things to the list, because I definately don't know everthing about them. (Actually I know the most of Akiya :p)

Isshi: Björk, Luna Sea, Queen, Anzenchitai, distraught overlord, (Mr. Children?),...

Akiya: Susumu Hirasawa, Juno Reactor, B'z, Sugizo, me-al art, hide, Luna Sea, Schaft, Angra, Flumpool, Steve Vai, Kra, D'espairs Ray, Britney Spears,...

Sin: Yamagen, Linkin Park, ...

Nao: Kobukuro, Bon Jovi, (Smap?),...

Izumi: Gargoyle, Metallica, ...

Note: My sources were interviews, picutures, blog comments, ... So I don't know if this is all true..

METALLICA <3333
I definitily love Izumi's taste!! XD

Thank you for those informations! (How sad I didn't knew that much.........)

It's always interesting to know such things.

whoa, thank you for the information! it's very interesting to know any bands' music interests (and i'm always curious whether any bands also listen to their own music 0_o)

hm...all i know is that Shin listens to Yamagen, but i don't have any idea what kind of music Yamagen has XD and it's quite shocking for me when i happened to know some time ago that Shin also listens to LP!

This is funny but I read in one interview that Akiya actually listens to a lot of western music, and at that period...Britney Spears 8D Okay, nothing wrong with that.

But do you think Isshi ever listened to enka songs before? I mean his voice has some touch of enka music into it, right?

Britney Spears?! Akiya?! Hell Yeah! I like that! I was a fan of Britney when I was 6 years old! XD (Her first songs are better!)
I want to read that interview, do you know where I can find that?!

I've heard of Enka.. But I can't remember a song! I'm going to look it up! I'm curious!

@niensama:
haha~ he did told that! but that was a very long time ago already! ahahah!
And I did listen to Britney Spears too! LOL~ but Akiya did recommend one band named Me-al art. The bassist is his friend and they have great songs! Check them out! I think sutafairu at LJ posted a discography of them at kagrra-media. ^^

Okay, I'll try to find the interview tomorrow and post it here. ^^ I have to go for now.

BTW, enka are usually sang by old ladies and have very distinguished voices. Check them out, you'll find a similarity with the way Isshi sings. XD

Oh yeah, I already know me-al art! I like them!!
I think others should check them out too!


Ah I don't know about Enka.. I've listened a few songs of them.. And they sing in a traditional Japanese way, which influences Isshi too.. But ah, I think Isshi doesn't sound as nasal, as those of Enka.. But I only know a few songs of enka..
