J-rock. Flat wounds or round wounds?

Hello from Sweden!
I listen to a lot of japanese groups like Hitorie, King Gnu, Oral cigarettes and Vaundy.
That is why I started to learn playing bass.
I wonder if the japanese bassists rather use flat wound strings.
Here is a youtube clip of Hitorie bassist Ygarshy and guitarist Shinoda.
Can you hear what strings the bassist is using?
