Sadly, American Rock outfits do. But Japanese Rock outfits do not ignore American Rock outfits, or the outfits of the world. Which I suppose is the reason for their imo much superior output for the past two decades(underground, not mainstream).
However, I'm not sure your point. All I'm saying is that the vocals are similar, and might have inspired Japanese singers. Did they? I don't know, I was just noting the similarity.
