"Japanese music" is not a genre, you fucking donut.

Ling Tosite Sigure is the best post-hardcore band ever

Agreed, I got into them recently after previously dismissing them because they were Japanese

I'd say

>Boris
>Toe
>Mono
>Midori
>Worlds End Girlfriend
>Kashiwa Daisuke

DESS~~

Tricot is talked about a good amount
Check out Uchu Conbini. I think the label made their shit unavailable to watch in the US but if you go to the effort to find this album in the archive it's an absolute treat.

>Japanese ambient albums
Since you said ambient. You should check out Haruka Nakamura. He's also in a band called Nica.
youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1BD357C0A21F8EE3


He's also one of the guys behind Elements Garden which made this. youtube.com/watch?v=RKrCmJgYvqE
Sorry for the animu. It's just that the song is too good.

Okay, that's it for me. Sorry for blowing my whole load.

I went to one of their concerts when they did a NA tour and it has been probably the best concert experience in my whole life. The venue was sooo tiny but they were sooo energetic and happy to be there.

>tfw I recognize that anime

I would love to go to one of their concerts but no artists ever come to my small town

Came here to post this. Was actually listening to them about an hour ago

youtu.be/xf_0MFFFXbc

Also, if you like cute stuff like Kero Kero Bonito, Shonen Knife is like the punk version of that.

Would definitely recommend pic related; "Triangle" by Perfume.

God-tier pop album, Dream Fighter is great and Edge (⊿-mix) is one of my all time favorite songs.

This

Great album, but stop being a dick.

They're arguably one of the most talked about math rock bands on this board lmao

Listening to Perfume for the first time now. I feel like this was written by some kind of algorithm to be the catchiest shit possible.
