Japanese Music

Love Psychedelico - My favorite japanese band.  When I left japan I listened to "Love Psychedelico Orchestra" constantly.  Nostalgic girl rock

Chara - Super girly alternative.  I like her.

Judy and Mary - Good

Halcali - Awesome pop.  Female duo.  The same electronic backing as Morning Musume but a little older and cooler.

Yuzu - Well-intentioned folk duo.  Kids who like them are "Yuzuko".  #1 covered band by street musicians.

Puffy - Hyper not exactly corporate pop

Ua - Japan's not so good version of Bjork.  She does a good cover of "because the night".

Tommy February - pop

Morning Musume - Sappy corporate pop crap, but better than Britney.  Constantly changing group of 8 or so girls, from 13 to 20 or so.  Incredibly produced.

Smap - boy band crap.  They're a combination of U2 and Backstreet boys.  They've been around forever, and have their own variety cooking/comedy sketch/interview show on tv.

Hirai Ken - crap
