Rock Band Getting Japanese Groups_

According to website JRock Revolution, the site has apparently partnered with Rock Band developer Harmonix to poll its readers about which J-Rock acts it would like to see in Rock Band. In 2008, Harmonix and MTV joined forces with Tokyo-based developer Q Entertainment, the studio behind Lumines, to make a Japanese version of Rock Band. It’s 2010, and it is believed that the Q Entertainment localization of Rock Band is on ice. The music of Japanese group X Japan, however, did appear in the second Rock Band game.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/rock-band-turning-japanese-with-q-entertainment-5012315 This April, Harmonix seemed to hint that a standalone version of Rock Band Japan was not going to happen, but appeared “optimistic about the possibility of having some [[link]] non-Kanji J-Rock and J-Pop as DLC at some point”. Could this latest poll be connected with some sort of J-Rock DLC? Here are the top acts as voted by JRock Revolution readers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBf7QugTFnw 1. the GazettE 2.

Sad panda not to see Hyde here as his first single, Evergreen, is a fine, fine tune. Guess they got him covered with his band [[link]] L’Arc~en~Ciel. Never mind! Carry on! Fun fact: Former Japanese Prime Minister [[link]] Junichiro Koizumi‘s favorite group is X Japan. Rock Band Poll Final Results [J-Rock Revolution via Joystiq via Dtoid] [Pic]
