There's the Mad Capsule Markets. I listened to them years and years ago, not really my cup of tea anymore though.

Oh yah, the 5, 6, 7, 8's are some really cool chicks. I have one of their CD's, was totally worth the buy.

Pezmerga
Ars Nova is pretty good. Basically a Japanese Emerson Lake and Palmer minus lyrics.

Inner Rise will kill you now, AC. Even you, with your great speed, can not stop both missiles.

She's actually American, anyway.

Alpha Centauri
She makes Japanese music though.

But yeah, everything except that.

That was the same movie where he flew so fast around the world he turned time back, right?

Only because her attempts at making English music have failed miserably stick out tongue

As for good Japanese music, I honestly could not recommend anything recent as it's been years since I've really listened to anything, beyond what gets played at ACen (and then I have no idea what it is). Still fond of Dragon Ash and Dir en Grey, though.

It just depends on what sort of music you like. Mainstream Japanese music is not as hugely varied as it is in other countries but there's still a lot of variety, especially if you dig around a bit.

Yeah, they have a bunch of cool songs.

The song you are thinking of is "Woo hoo".

I have their Bomb The Twist CD, which has Woo Hoo on it, and other great songs.

That's why you posted that, because you dislike the fact that your favourite idol/singer/life aspiration (Even the gender) is really poor quality.

It's ok, you'll learn.

JAM Project Pwns! big grin

The only few that can come to mind are Sigh and Bathtub Shitter. Especially Sigh. Unless you're into pop, rock w/ Engrish, or grindcore, you'd best keep away from Japanese music, imo.

Anyways, so you like Utada Hikaru?
