There's other bands of J-Rock, such as the scarily popular band, X JAPAN. However, they broke up because two members committed suicide, so they had no choice. A member, I believe the former vocalist of X JAPAN, went solo and his name is Hide.

Through the little I actually know, I believe Hide was one of those who commited suicide, shortly after his first album was released (and sucessfully as well...). Loads of people alledgedly attended the funeral, and a number of them tragically followed his lead...
