I really like The Pillows & I also like Perfume. I hadn’t listened to Boom Boom Satellites before this, so thanks! I have tons of fun with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu & Perfume for cleaning & getting through my work day, but most times I prefer Rock music. I think my favs so far in J-rock have been Radwimps, Bump Of Chicken, One Ok Rock, Blankey Jet City & 9mm Parabellum Bullet. I think I’ll happily add BBS to my J-rock playlist though!

Two Japanese bands I think you might like are Capsule (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nUbhbEp65s), produced by Yatsutaka Nakata the same producer of Perfume, and Avengers in Sci-Fi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbIiSJ6mkgc) a stylized “spaceship rock” group somewhere between the ultra-quirky Polysics and the alt-rock sounds of The Pillows.

Thanks and keep the band picks coming.

I still blare their music even today. Although they aren’t j-pop music i feel they are still a wonderful band worth mentioning. http://youtu.be/x_CzD0GBD-4

May purchase some soon. I’ve been listening to Shintaro Sakamoto’s 2012 solo album lately, love it!

Amazing performance. But both of those Xam’d OPs turned me on to them, though SHUT UP AND EXPLODE came first and still has the place on my ringtone list.
