11. Probably laser cut. So it's mostly the stacking and camera positioning.

[Eyerish]

9. Japanese pop and rock is Da' Bomb!

Ever heard of Yasutaka Nakata?


He wrote these:

(That's Yasutaka Nakata on the right)

If you like any of these, Nakata's got a zillion more.
========================================
Then, there's a sorta' "Nirvana meets Pink Floyd" kind of band called,
9Goats Black Out:

I tried to give some cool suggestions.
Hope you like 'em.

[Bongo Prophet]

10. Agree, Nakata is quite prolific

Writes/performs most (or all?) of the Kyary Pamyu Pamyu songs too, which are great fun.
The video productions are playful and creative as well...

18. in this age where KPOP seems to be getting all the focus.. I am

Happy people are still discovering how wonderful JPOP, Jrock and Japanese music is... I cut my teeth on this stuff!

19. I think Japan...

is sort of having it's 70s right now--A time of exploding creativity and boldness in
the music scene, at a time when the west is in sort of a slump musically, IMO.

I recently discovered 9Goats Black Out.

Wow.

21. There are a TON of great bands...

It makes you wonder how an Island Nation the size of California can come up with so many kinds of Music. One of my past favorites
was this band...Asakusa Jinta from OSAKA.

Osaka has some of the best bands...in Japan..

And I love OMODAKA!!

[nikto]

22. Thank you for the links!

Feel free to keep suggesting bands/artists from
The Super-Music Isle Of Japan.

I always was a big Kaiju/Godzilla fan.

This must be the next logical step.
