There are some amazing JPop and JRock songs but I think my favorite was the 90's garage band scene that came out of Osaka - such insane energy and enthusiasm. Bands like Shonen Knife, Supersnazz and all the Benten/Sister bands - Flamenco A-Go Go, 5678's, Petty Booka, etc. Those bands saved the 90's for me. Audrey at Benten was one of the first retailers to start selling music over the internet and she is still going strong too.
Japanese Girl garage bands are BEST!
