Utada Hikaru, Mai Kuraki, BoA and Koda Kumi are my favourite J-Pop artists. And Maaya Sakamoto is good, too^^

Hey everyone, I'm just a "newbie" as would everyone calls it for first timers.

Anyways, I would say, the Boom Boom Satellites (from the Appleseed remake and other releases) and Yoko Kanno. They both have nice music and instrumentals playing during several anime titles.

The Back Horn, Janne Da Arc, Inugami Circus-Dan, and Onmyoza are the only Japanese bands worth listening to. Disregard everything else
