Ok...so we have the thread with all the shitty jrock band names...but what about the awesomely amazing ones? Or the relatively absurd in such a way it's FREAKING AWESOME>.....
I dunno...
Ogre You Asshole and Coaltar of the Deepers are ringing true for me in this thread right now. Can't think of anything else right.
I also like "D'air" cause it's simple...but it's not really the BEST.
SMACK DA BOOTY
Nageki Shito ("lament disciple") is quite cool.
also I like Klein Kaiser for being in german and means "little emperor", which is also very cool.
I was always rather fond of these:
SCISSOR
D'espairsRay
Despair Nation
Deathgaze
MaveRick
Arte Alice
新興宗教楽団NoGoD
|D
the GazettE
Alice Nine.
12012
Dir en grey

Yeah, well, if it'd be correct grammar ("Kleiner Kaiser"). So for me it's a bad attempt at German~ =X But the idea is quite cool, yeah.
I have to agree on Shinkou Shuukyou Gakudan NoGoD. (Whew, it took me a freaking week to write that correctly. xD)
176BIZ and パニックちゃんねる are also quite cool... I love the fact that the Japanese Panic Channel came before the American (?) one. xD
Well I posted this in the other thread; but here are some that stood out to me and I'll elaberate more on why I like them...
Baroque
Buck-Tick (a parody of the sound a fire cracker makes)
Dir en grey (I've heard it's suposed to be a play on Dorian Gray but then I've heard that's not true)
Dué le quartz (easy and rolls off the tongue nicely ^^)
GazettE
Girugamesh (Gilgamesh is the name of a person, interesting history behind that)
Hyde (I know it's his name; but it just stands out as being cool)
Kannivalism
L'arc en Ciel
Luna Sea (I like how they were Lunacy and then changed to Luna Sea)
Malice Mizer
Merry (I don't know why this name fits them so well. But between them and their music; I can't imagine them being called anything else.)
Phantasmagoria (interesting word I'd never heard before this band and it has a really interesting meaning too)
SID (I've always liked how they write it the katakana to almost look like romaji too)
Kokusyoku sumire (black violet <3)
Arte alice
Merveille magique
Jeniva
la féerie
BLAM HONEY!

i guess i should post a cool band name huh?
hybrid-zombiez...........
I think:
MUCC
cuz it's short and unique xD
Take any band name posted in the "jrock bands with the worst names" thread and post it here.
Now take any band name posted in this thread and post it over the "jrock bands with the worst names" thread.
dont have many, but these are the ones i like
MAXIMUM THE HORMONE (i wonder what they were on when they thought of that one)
The Pillows (makes me feel warm and fuzzy)
Dir en grey (my first jrock band just because the name sounded so weird)
Coaltar of the Deepers (just sounds like a cult in darkness. kinda cool)
Vidoll (the most VK name ive come about that i actually like)
L'arc~En~Ciel (who doesnt like rainbows?)
Malice Mizer (hands down. the best name ever.)
and my absolute fav ever.
The Yellow Monkey
* Coaltar of the Deepers (fun to say)
* The Mad Capsule Markets (I actually find it quite cheesy but don't underestimate them!)
* Anti-Feminism (How and what made Kenzi decide on "Feminism"?)
* Deadman (They grabbed it just in time.)
* lynch. (Even with the period.)
* Melt-Banana (Mmm..)
* Polysics (YES!)

phantasmagoria
pierrot
the gazette

Vidoll. :3
i like how it's written in katakana better though.
Rentrer en Soi definitely great name.
シド （Sid） is cool one (again in katakana look better)
Luna Sea♥ ~
Plastic Tree (I don't know why I like it)
IZABEL VAROSA -- awesome name - music sweet
heidi。 -- just cool
Duel Jewel --- (maybe I just like this band too much XD)
Well I think that music makes names for bands. For example if Dir en Grey wouldn't be great band I don't think lot people would say that it is 'BEST' name for a band.

It does make sense. It's a combination of their three stages as a band. NOIZ - punk band, imitation pops - second phase of pop punk, uchuu sentai - the current space ranger theme.
Anyway, band with best name? Cynical Biscuit.
