and also write your oppenion of japanese music.

There are many types of Japanese music so of course you're going to have a bunch of different opinions on them.
Basically, I like any kind of J. music as long as the voices aren't raspy, generic or super high-pitched.
I like most songs by this band called Art-School. They're pretty unknown but their music is awesome. I love Charlotte, Chloe, and Evil.
I usually listen to the anime related muisc, I know so few about japanese pop muisc...
I also listen to japanese music, specifically the japanese music. 
I don't listen to the scene, popular Japanese bands like Dir en Grey and so forth.
I prefer industrial, electronica and those sorts of genre.
Some anime music is calming, like those ones with no words, just the melodies? Those are nice to listen too when you want to fall asleep at
night.
A lot of great gamemusic is made in Japan for example all the Zelda and Final Fantasy music. And Dir en Grey is a great band.
fervent, I agree with you on listening to the scene/popular bands/groups. I'm not really into them. I think they're a bit over rated... I know a ton of people who absolutely adore Gackt and Dir en Grey but I don't exactly see what's so great about them. I mean, it's not like they're -bad- (I actually like a couple of their songs) but I think people need to open up their music tastes a lot more because there are tons of different types of Japanese music.
Japan has got a bunch of great singers, but because that their language is not popular in the world, their pop stars seldom shows in the world stage.
I like some of Japan's experimental bands, well, at least the ones that are more or less known: Boredoms, OOIOO, Merzbow... If you're into nonconventional sounds, they are a must.
I actually never listen Japanese music.
Being an anime and jdrama fan, I have been exposed to different kinds of jap music. Its too bad though their language is not known all over the world because they are really good!
If you like hip hop/pop Japanese music, try m-flo. They're very good! The new album Cosmicolor is so wicked!
I personally like japanese new wave bands. That or any other type of band having to do with the electronica/techno movement. One example would be Aural Vampire. They're really good.
Aside from that, I like tons of japanese rock bands. My favourite japanese band is a punk rock band; ELLEGARDEN. Most of their songs are in English, and what wonderful English Hosomi (lead singer) has! He sings in English rather than Engrish. 
OMG, someone else who knows of Aural Vampire!!
They are amazing, and most people I talk about Japanese music with have never even heard of them!
Yoshida Brothers (吉田 兄弟), man! They are one of a kind!
If you like string instruments, you definitely should take a look on them!
There is two websites, a japanese one and an english one.
Watch a video presentation on YouTube: lame japanese show.
I'm new here so Hello to everyone!!!
Can anyone please tell me if there is any instructional book about Japanese Classical Music and game music to be more specific? Or even better if Nobuo Uematsu has ever published an instructional book like that (that has been translated in English of course
) Thx for the help. Cu 
I like Ayu Hamasaki, she sing really sweet songs.
As an anime fan, i like lots of anime related music too. "Toki ni ai wa" from the Utena movie is just perfect! Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Bubblegum Crisis, Yuyu Hakusho are all animes wich have very good music.
I don't listen to anime music or Japanese music, but I do think some of it is great... for instance, the anime 'Tsubasa Chronicles' has the best music ever (first season). The very first 'Tenchu' playstation game also features some excellent, authentic Japanese music.
I do like Japanese music! In fact it's that I like Japanese Âþ». And I will like all the songs appeared in the Âþ».
Boa - Every heart Jewel Song
Every little thing - Grip!
V6 - One day, one dream
It seems that all the songs I write is English song, but it's really in Japanese. Wish you like them!
I currently love Okinawan folk songs.
Also, Asian Kung-fu Generation and Tokyo Jihen are also my current favorites.
I love Japanese music.
My favorite songs are "Jibunkumei" by Miyavi, "Lady Galaxy" and "Brand New Beat" by BOA, "SMILY" by Ai Otsuka, "Love Don't Cry", "Stuck in Your Love", and "Love Song" by M-flo, "I'll" by Dir En Grey, and "Silly God Disco" by Gazette.
I'm lovin it
I like japanesse anime music [Soundtrack, OST or anything]
and now I'm crazy with YUI [www.yui-net.com] She's young, she's cute, and argghghhhhhhh.......
I have just gotten into Japanese music, and I, love is such a strong word, but I really like it, even if I don't understand a thing
But for me the melody is much better than the words.
I`ve never heard japanese music so I dont how would it be.
I saw a Japanese movie "NaNa" yesterday, there's a cool female singer in it.
Gacktos songs are all very good. My faves are Doomsday, Mizerable, Secret Garden, Returner (The NEW single!
, Luna, Redemption, Last Song, Ash and all kind of that :'D I just love Gacktos music.
Also Merry and MUCC is really good. And Pierrot
Sometimes I also listen X Japan. Good stuff too. 
Not nearly as good as american music, but i'd still listen to it. i mean, their singers and actors are really beautiful and hot. LOL
I love Bleach soundtrack, mostly the opening theme of the first chapters 
Asian Kung-Fu Generation is the best Asian group I know,
NGS and Loops and loops are realy realy good songs, perhaps dl them, if not buy their single !
