Japanese rock (often abbreviated J-Rock) is the Japanese form of rock music.

In the 1960s American and British counterculture figures created Psychedelic rock. However, in Japan, psychedelic rock took on a different flavor. While psychedelic rock was known for the drug intake of its performers leaving an impact on the hazy, drugged-out music, J-Rock performers tended to be drug-free, or even adamantly against the use of drugs (for example, Kosugi Takehisa, Haino Keiji, Nanjo Asahito).
