Check these guys out (YouTube have a few videos of them)

They are one of my favorite all time Japanese bands!

I´ll Check their Sound...

I will aswell, Anything that can still be reccommended from the 80's should be at least fairly good.

( ^ _ ^)∠☆PAN！

I Think they are awesome and MMM thanks for tellimg me about them :vsign:

Awesome!!! They were the first Japanese band I got into!!

I've always seen them as two bands though:
1. BoØwy - The studio band (80's pop rock with loads of keyboads etc)
2. BoØwy - The live band (just straight out rock)

Cool! I am glad you took the time to give them a listen.

Me too... what songs did you check out Sutiiven?

Sorry for the double post but I have to ask you MMM: What's your favourite album??

mostly the ones you mentioned and a couple other but i cant remember the names i will have to find em again

@ Tordek 42 to be honest i like B . Blue and Dreamin and Cloudy Heart and funny boy and plastic bomb and Bad Feeling and No.New York.

Has anyone paid attention to Hotei's solo career? :]

I've been a BoØwy fan for a couple of years, but I only just found out about Tomoyasu Hotei's solo career mid last year, and I've been liking what I've been hearing. :]

What?! No!!! D:

Messed up, ore! ;_:

I wanted him ever since I first saw himmmmm. S:

:O OMG well then I claim Himuro, and bassist Tsunemtasu Matsui...

How about we share Hotei yea?? :D:D

I'm sure glad I didn't suggest sharing, as I was going to.

I always thought it was. ;]

I believe ya, no worries. I'm like that about Kyo, only he's not mine. I am only his bodyguard.

I wonder if I should at least look into him(your guy), though.
