Music Thread!

Like the title says, anything about music here.
To start, I'm looking for some Japanese music. To be more specific J-Rock. I don't know a lot many bands and I wanted to see if anyone here liked that kind of music. I know a few, like One OK Rock, Manterou Opera, T.M Revolution, Miyavi, Stereopony and Nano. But feel free to recommend me other genres too. I also like other stuff like Utada Hikaru and Lisa. Also recommend me something that is worth downloading a full album if you know any. I have a lot of bands that only have one or two good song because of an anime soundtrack.
Thank You!

Two of my favorite bands!

I know of Asian Kung Fu Generation (creators of Rewrite), BUMP OF CHICKEN (orbital period is on iTunes, as well as Yggdrasill), and JAM Project (they do a lot of Anime Songs), all of which are great. MAN WITH A MISSION is also pretty good, though I only liked the first 3 songs on their only album on iTunes so far. Then there's Sekai no Owari (RPG).

Oh, and I can't go without recommending The Pillows! Everyone should check these guys out! Their work on FLCL was fantastic, and their other songs have been really good, too.

Japanese music? I'm in love with Anna Tsuchiya, though I prefer her acting to her music. Sakuran is something special.

I find myself really out of touch with modern music. The stuff I tend to listen to is a little older these days - Hunters and Collectors, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, that kinda stuff.

And I do like Opera and Ballet.
