Hi,
I am going to run a discussion about hardcore music (specifically J-Core) on a convention here in Poland and so I have some question I would like to be answered, and if you have some other informations you think might interest me then please write it too. If it is possible, I would be grateful if the informations could be exhaustive.
1. What are the tools/software used by Hardcore music makers?
2. How popular is J-Core in Japan? What is the media response to it? Are there broadcasts of "concerts" (can't find better word)? How often such events are held? How "safe" are such events? What about in other countries all over the world?
3. What are the genres represented by J-Core musicians (question is how much should I trust Wiki in understanding the description and choosing a good representative)
4. And finally, what is the most popular J-8-Bit-Core artist (if any?) The only I know is Sabrepulse and he isn't J- ^^;
The more information you can provide the better :).
Thanks in advance!

All hardcore subgenres, usually with that Japanese twist.

I have quite a few J-Core albums & know a fair bit about it. As for how popular it is in Japan you wanna ask Silver as he lives there.

there's some stuff out there, but strictly japanese hardcore, as in hardcore containing japanese lyrics, is pretty limited.
you'd be hard pressed to find 20 releases that had japanese in them.
so if anything it's still in its infancy, but there was a decent japanese label, digi up, that went defunct a little while ago. that's not to say that it contained strictly JAPANESE hardcore (lyrically japanese), it just released music by japanese producers.
shimamura, m-project, and uraken are three producers that jumped into my head right away. there are definitely more. if you topic dig, you should find websites. i would do it for you but i'm lazy.
GOOGLE is you friend, amigo.
search away.

Well, my main "source" is Sharpnel with overall around 49 released albums (though some are just releases of someone else's music under Sharpnel Sound label). Other than yes, M-Project, Uraken, The Speedlolita, t+pazolite, RedAlice. Never heard of Shimamura before though.
And as for google. I keep digging and digging, from time to time I find something interesting, but mostly it is difficult to find anything. That's why I ask here :).

So many times I hear people saying "I have J-Core albums" - But I have no heard about any J-Core releases besides Shiminaura w/e his name is. :(

best place to get them would be guhroovy.com, but they are also the hardest place to order from (considering that they block alot of english spam).
I wouldn't say that Japanese Hardcore is it's infancy, since it has been along since around 2002 (or earlier if you include Dance Dance Revolution Speed series)

Japanese hardcore dates back to winter 1996, there was a Hardcore Kitchen event which introduced UK Hardcore to Japan. The event was led by Uraken. Around that time PROJECT GABBANGELION was created. In 1998 they changed to High Speed Music Team Sharpnel and released first J-Core album DJ. Sharpnel vs. Project Gabbangelion. So they date back to at least 1998.
As for Sharpnel Sound releases - http://www.sharpnel.com/index-j.html .

Well, I write what I find :). On Uraken's myspace profile it was written UK Hardcore so that's what it is for me :P.
Besides name is just name, so as long as they mean the same they can be used interchangeably ^^

1. What are the tools/software used by Hardcore music makers?
Same as any other artist. There is no special tool used to make hardcore music.
2. How popular is J-Core in Japan? What is the media response to it? Are there broadcasts of "concerts" (can't find better word)? How often such events are held? How "safe" are such events? What about in other countries all over the world?
There is two sort of groups, the hardcore people (like the music on this site) and the Jcore / doujin people. They don't really mix but some events feature both. I've seen some media on doujin events but nothing good or bad. No broadcasts. Doujin events are all the time but it is normally just a 1 or 2 artist thing. Safe, very, you could wear a money suit and have no problems. No idea about other countries but doujin semi crosses into cosplay.
3. What are the genres represented by J-Core musicians (question is how much should I trust Wiki in understanding the description and choosing a good representative)
I don't really follow doujin.
4. And finally, what is the most popular J-8-Bit-Core artist (if any?) The only I know is Sabrepulse and he isn't J- ^^;
See above.

AFAIK Ultra-Sonic played in Japan of 1995. Their Tekno Junkies LP was released to the Japanese market at that same time. Unsure on Scott Brown, though could of done.
