The ones in bold are my addition. Ive added the country too. Those are some of the top power metal bands out at the moment.

Yes, I know quite a few of those already, actually. X-Japan was definitely one of my early favs but I couldn't really classify them as Power Metal. Also, to be clearer, I wanted Japanese bands. Thanks though, I'll definitely take a look at Double Dealer. Sonata Arctica is my favorite Power Metal band, next to Galneryus, of course.

Thanks for your suggestion, guys.

also check out Concerto Moon, they're japanese and play neo-classical power metal

Great, I'll check that out as well. By the way, do you know any other any good power metal guitarists as well? Somewhere along the likes of Takayoshi Ohmura, Syu or Tak Matusmoto.

not many power metal bands from japan are there
