SIGH and japanese extreme metal bands

I like extreme music. Sometimes it’s black metal, or death metal, or speed metal. Japan, I said it in my last post, it’s a really interesting country. Japanese music is very rich in quality and creativity, even the pop music (even if I hate to admit it) is very complex in those terms.

Therefore, if I consider Japanese pop music interesting, you can imagine how much I like the Japanese metal. It’s sometimes so weird, or sometime very folkloric, but it’s never a boring country to do their music.

I listened to a lot of Japanese bands and I can say they take a lot of influences of occidental bands and make it better, or at least, rarer. Mixing and re-doing things, exploring new concepts, without fears. I like Sigh because of that: They are experimenting all the time with new sounds, new instruments, new concepts, new influences. They are considered “avant-garde black metal”, but they have just the voices of that kind of music or the influences about black metal topics, therefore I don’t really think they’re some like “black metal” (they are not pure, but it isn’t mean they are not the best band I met, from Japan at least).

I can say my favorite band is Sigh, but it doesn’t mean I don’t like “pure” or “true” metal bands of Japan, like Metalucifer, Saver Tiger, Sabbat or any metal band I met of that country, even the “new metal” or j-rock bands like Eight, Mucc or Plasma Jet.

Japan

Since I was a child I wanted to go to Japan, specifically to Tokyo.

It''s because the nagoya-kei music is so interesting, then it would be great if I could go to a concert of bands of that kind of music, like "Anti Feminism","The Piass", or hardcore/j-rock bands like "Maximum the hormone".

Also, other music scenes are awesome there, like the black metal with bands like Sabbat, Sigh, Magane, or another like that... but some bands I want to listen to have split up (like Saver Tiger), however I would go there to find their albums >:) ).

Furthermore, the japanese mythology and folklore is so interesting, they have a lot of legends and imaginary references about demons, and I really love that.
Finally, the ancient japanese architecture in temples is awesome, as the stone sculptures. I really want to visit it.

But, well, in the internet I can find some live shows of bands (in VHS-rip some of them) and a bit of the mythology, of photos... I have to be satisfied with it, for now.
