Alright sooo... My friend he's like Japanese right, but lives in California, I met him on SC, anyways. So last night, he tells me he listens to Japanese music, so I'm like that's cool, and I ask him to send me a couple of songs, and he does, and I like them! I mean I have no f***ing clue what they're saying, but it sounds good!

I only have two songs they are

For the Future by Do As Infinity
and some other song by Asian Kungfu Generation

So, I was wondering, do you guys have any songs or anything you would suggest? If all possible maybe link to a place where I could listen to or d/l them?

Thanks in Advance,
KcA

You're kind of really behind if you want to keep up with J-Pop
There are thousands of fan pages in English to look at for info and lyrics
Some of the most famous bands are the "visual kei" like Malice Mizer, Dir En Grey, Mucc, ect

Personally, I don't see what is so special and different about Japanese music
But if you want to listen to it, I would say to check out these:
m-flo
B'z
Every Little Thing
L'arc-En-Ciel
Orange Range
Ken Hirai
Hikaru Utada
Namie Amuro
Gackt

i would say its rather surprising that a nation like japan with its high population, high degree of technical advancement and aparent obsession with music has such a poor music export. i guess its the language barrier.
