but apply the kanafication of it and they'll be like OHHHHH, raruku an shieru!

They were pretty big when I was there, along with the more mysteriously named Gley (I always assumed the band's name was Grey, but they always romaji'd it up as GLEY. Noone was ever able to tell me if it meant something. *shrug*)

Then there was Spitz. (I still have a soft spot for the appealingly MOR jangle-pop of 'Sora me toberu hazu' though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rqm4qZlEoyk)

*edit* and the short-lived (literally; he committed suicide shortly after formation) Hide & Split Beaver, after X broke up. Seeing TV announcers pronounce that, however butchered, with a stragith face always cracked me way up.
