Planning to move next year. Question about bands to join as a guitar player.

Hello everyone!

I am just coming back from my 4th trip to Japan and I feel like my moving there is an inevitability, well, if the government of Japan and the work environment lets me.

I have a very simple question about my possible life there:

My biggest passion in life is music. I have been playing guitar for 20 years and been playing live since I was 16 YO. I wanted to ask if is super hard to find a band that plays western rock like dunno, Metallica, Megadeth, Pearl Jam, Velvet Revolver and all those bands just to name a few.

I am wanting to also learn music over there (My favourite Japanese band being Polkadot Stingray) but because my lack of repertoire over there, I would like to join a band that is on those realms and start easing into Japanese Rock.

Is this something common? As I cannot imagine going for a long time without playing in a band.

Thanks!
