Man, what great music! I agree that they're almost unclassifiable, but the album 'Variety' definitely shows roots in 70's progressive rock to me. I happened upon this great indie band called Bon Voyage that classifies themselves as ' Pop / Lounge / Indie', but they have a very nice, flowy, unique sound. Every song of theirs makes me feel good. http://www.myspace.com/bonvoyageweb Through BV I also found a great shoegazer/rock band called Lenno (http://www.myspace.com/lennojp). Their EP is not available outside of their shows as of yet, but they're working on ways to sell mp3s. I discovered Tokyo Jihen recently and FELL IN LOVE. Man, what great music!

I've loved them for a while now. They pretty much rock my socks all over the place. I also checked out 東京事変 and they are amazing! I've only rarely listened to Shina Riingo, but now I love her. Also, thanks for bringing up Rip Slyme again. I got some of there stuff now and I'm addicted. And also for the mention of Steady & Co. Those guys are amazing! I'm definitely picking up their CD as soon as I get back to Japan in a month. Finally, I don't know if it's been mentioned, but スチャダラパー is absolutely amazing. Check anything out by them. If you want a couple of free songs, just post here and I'll upload a torrent sample. Good call on posting ケツメイシ! I’ve loved them for a while now. They pretty much rock my socks all over the place.

Note, the second two suggestions are a bit short on the lyric front, but who knows you could go to a gig, meet cool Japanese people and have an amazing conversation in Japanese about cool music... :-) I’d definitely recommend Funkymic and the Saturdays rism, 韻シスト, cro-magnon (excellent live) and will second the call on Soil&Pimp.

She's really something else. Sometimes I mention Ulfuls, an old-school Osaka rock band that sings in Kansai dialect. They often sing about Osaka itself which is always fun. Also, I like Soil & Pimp Sessions. They're a heavy-jazz band. I've seen them live twice in small venues. Great great stuff. You can also get your hands on lots of new Japanese music at hearjapan.com, I recently picked up some DJ Baku over there, a DJ I have caught live in Osaka. Good stuff!

I've loved them ever since watching 1リットルの涙 (1 Liter of Tears). I think a lot of their songs are probably too slow for khatz's tastes though. :P I’ll second the recommendation for レミオロメン.

I second the call for Shing02 :) A fun way to find Japanese hip hop is through http://last.fm . Just choose type in the name of a Japanese hip hop act and click 'Play Similar Artists' (for some reason 'Rhymester' seems to have a good group of similar artists). They have tons of Japanese artists on there, from unknown to famous. note: For some reason (licensing rules?), if you're in Japan you have to make sure your computer thinks it's in America to play most last.fm stations . If you're in America, much more straightforward. Thanks for the list. I second the call for Shing02 :)
