Any Good Japanese Music Reccomendations?

Alec Page
Hey, I'd love to listen to some good japanese music, but I don't know many of the artists. I'm not really into the whole harajuku (?) punk/pop-ish movement. Is there anything similar to the U.S. indy movement? Like, light rock, but not too much pop-ness. Let me know, and maybe I can recommend some of my favorite bands (Unfortunately my knowledge is limited to mostly U.S. and European music).

I found a website which has all the latest Japanese music
www.jpopasia.com
you can also watch music videos and find out which music is in the official Oricon charts. There are many genres including J-pop, J-rock J-rap etc.

You should try :
The Mops (60s psychedelic/garage rock)
The Golden Pop (60s Pop Rock)
Thee Michelle Gun Elephant ( modern garage )*
9mm Parabelum Bullet ( Punk Rock )*
The Stalin ( 80s Punk Rock )
Maximum the Hormone ( J Metal )
X Japan ( J Punk/Rock )
Miyavi ( J Rock )
Coaltars of the deepers ( J Heavy Metal/ Screamo ?)

The ones with * might interest you more than the other ones :) !

if you like Jpop i'd recommend Mika Nakashima or Ayumi Hamasaki.
if you like Jrock then try some L'Arc en Ciel. try the GazettE or Miyavi for some heavier rock. they're all my personal favorite ^^v
