I liked the music, can I get it without the singing? J-pop works with the higher pitches they sing in, but seems off for metal. Yes it's catchy as hell and will play well for anime music videos

I'm not so sure. I can think of plenty of metal that makes J-Pop sound like cookie monster metal.

Oddly enough, they are probably singing lower than the original version.

It's kind of awesome. Fantastic that it fills arenas in Japan. The two genres are so incongruous that it really makes for a perverse combo (statch-age popstars notwithstanding).
Better than the to 40 stuff we have over here, that's for sure.
I still don't understand the Japanese obsession over singing about food. Then again, there are a lot of things about Japan that I don't understand.
