Seikima-II is my favorite J-Rock/Visual Kei band, and quite possibly one of my favorite bands of all time.

Seikima-II's albums are typically done in the style of metal or hard rock, though they dabble in multiple genres across their 50 (soon to be 51 with 'Akuma Nativity--Songs of the Sword' coming out in September) combined albums and singles.

My favorite Seikima-II album is either 'Ponk!!' or 'Big Time Changes'--at least, those are the albums I listen to the most. It's really hard to pick a favorite because all of their albums are amazing.

A great J-hip hop band is Rip Slyme. I am only really familiar with their song 'Super Shooter' but have listened to samples of their other work and love them.

Rip Slyme seems to be a very solid group. I am usually not a big fan of hip hop or rap, but they are a group whose albums I would collect.
