Dude look at your user name!
You most likely listen to Yoko Kanno (not that I'm trying to dis her cause I think she's amazing)

At any rate, yes, The Japanese make metal. We also have rappers too.
Although I'd probably choose 50 cent over almost all Japanese Rappers.

my user name is a reference to ANIME not music. who the hell is yoko kanno??
