Japanese Music Suggestions

[Kobekko]

The Blue Hearts are really good. "Linda Linda" is a classic song of theirs (and a really fun one at karaoke). I recommend this song to anyone.

I also enjoy The Backhorn. My favorites of theirs are 雨 (Ame)、独り言 (Hitorigoto)、and Sunny.

This is a bit more mellow, quirky indie, but I'm also a fan of Shugo Tokumaru (トクマルシューゴ). "Parachute," "Clocca," and "Light Chair" are probably my favorites of his.

TBH, I don't really know any of the artists you listed. (@OP)

I suppose Kenji Ootsuki, FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, and Radwimps would match up nicely, though.

I like a bunch of Japanese artists I guess.

Ryohei, Chemistry, Clazziquai(though they're mainly Korean), and Utada Hikaru.

I know of M-flo and Monkey Majik though not a huge fan really. I used to like them more though. XD;; My playlist on my profile's pretty much the kinda music I listen to I guess?

Hmm... I have a question. Can anyone identify the artist of the song in the first part of this video? I've wanted to know for a while. x.x; Maybe you guys will know.

Nana Mizuki does music for lots of animes. She also voice acts! (Ninja Nonsense, Lyrical Nanoha, ect.) She has the pretties voice, but it kind of gets annoying when it shakes too hard. xp Puffy Amiyumi is my all time favorite, though. I have 6 of their CDs! Perfume is a technopop band and they're SO cute! ^___^ heart My favorite perfume song! --->
