Favorite international bands?

[Irako of the Desert]

Now this is interesting. I haven't heard much music from outside the US except for anime theme songs and songs from Orange Range. I don't think the English translation of 99 Red Balloons by Nena really counts, though I must say it sounds almost as good in English as it does in German.

Oh, I have a whole, long list. In which I will only post five.

1. KAT-TUN (Japan)
2. L'Arc~en~Ciel (Japan, with a French name)
3. the GazettE (Japan)
4. Tokio Hotel (Germany)
5. An Cafe (Japan)

Looks mostly Japanese...
I like more from France and Korea.
French music is easier to listen to 'cause I can actually understand most of the lyrics without struggling so much.
