Looking for good Japanese music

Hey everyone... don't laugh but I'm trying to get into some good Japanese music... surprisingly I barely know any...

If you can suggest some cool stuff besides the typical j-pop or k-pop that would be nice. And yes I heard of Utada Hikaru hahaha.

Also I know a cool band called Dragon Ash, they were in the soundtrack for that one novel movie... kids hunting each other... what's it called?

cheers...

Why is it surprising that you barely know any?

I believe you're thinking of Battle Royale.

Give these guys a try. I think they're pretty good if you're not looking for J-Pop music.

Those are all pretty funny joke replies. Now, if you want some actual good music, check out Sambomaster and The Pillows.
