One OK Rock! :D I quite enjoy them.

I also like some of Shiina Ringo's stuff. I love her uniqueness. But sometimes her voice grates on me. :(

I'm a really big fan of GO!GO!7188 though! They're amazing!!

SHonen knife = fantastic happy punk, and The Execute is decent hardcore.

I don't know exactly if this is "Japanese music" but the band "Time Requiem" is a good band. It says they are from Japan so I guess they are. Give them a listen guys. It's like Japanese power metal its cool as hell lol.

I will say again... does ANYBODY out there like Hide?

that would be for the metal forum not this one

I really like a few of his songs, even some of the stuff X did, but most of his solo stuff is too bizarre or over the top for my taste.

Still, a top class musician imho, with an over abundance of creativity, shame he died relatively young.

Electric Eel Shock is awesome. Sort of metal/punk combo, I don't think even they know what they want to be. But they're really loud and the drummer wears only a sock.

Hilarious, and they're 20x better live.
youtube "ROCK & ROLL CAN RESCUE THE WORLD"

I love Flow and Asian kung fu generation
