Absolutely, I've noticed Japanese music in general has a very strong sense of melody and countermelodies -- whereas a lot of our music is a bit more straightforward, I've noticed a lot of "Japanese rock" tends to have lots of sections, lots of interesting melodies and so on and so forth, so I can definitely see them jamming so Japanese metal and stuff. There were actually tons of composers for some of the Mega Man games -- surprised at how consistent it is. They sure did get a lot out of 4 channels! These songs translate so well as Minibosses songs for this reason -- if you haven't heard them, go to youtube and type in Minibosses Mega Man and check them out, since they kinda do a metal style for them and it's perfect.
