Then, i found this group in MySpace

I'm aware that those bands are different to VAMPS, but at least we know that there's people in Oregon that are eager to enjoy good music in a different language.

Yeah we do get Dir en grey here, but they're the only jrock band that comes to Portland. I was going to go the last time they were here, just to support the genre, but... yeah I didn't. Dir en grey really isn't my thing. I'd go see MUCC though for sure, if they ever came here. I saw them in Seattle on the Taste of Chaos Tour and they were awesome.

I was really hoping the VAMPS shows in Portland and Seattle would prove that there *is* an interest in Jrock in the Pacific Northwest, and maybe more bands would show us some love up here. But if they don't do well, the opposite will probably happen.
