another tragic news hit the jrock scene as it was revealed several weeks ago that heath, the long-time
bassist of x, passed away on 20231029 due to cancer at the age of 55. this put yet another legendary band's status in disarray, as the rift
between toshi and other team members have become more apparent in recent months, and heath's departure would only make it more difficult
for x to resume activities, including the ever elusive sixth studio album.

when jrocker.com was established in 1997, its main goal was to gather all websites about japanese rock
music in form of a webring. as the
popularity of webrings gradually faded away in the early 2000's, this website has been serving the
purpose of preserving the legacy of amateur fan-made websites about japanese rock music, with (mostly
dated) information about featured jrock bands and artists. enjoy your trip down the memory lane!
