J-Rock
A roomy umbrella term for rock made in Japan, J-Rock stretches from the language-first breakthroughs of the early 1970s to the big, theatrical bands that carried it far beyond Japan. The label is broad, but that breadth is part of its appeal: it can hold tender melodicism, pop polish, and full-volume drama at once.
