japanese bands
a pack of wolves:
Don't listen to bad music. Listen to all the amazing music Japan has to offer. Here are some good ones that haven't been mentioned yet:
Corrupted - evil sludge
Swarrrm - quality grind
Slight Slappers - ridiculous fast
Gauze - motherfucking Gauze
Pear of The West - triple awesome pop-punk
And of one of the greatest bands of all time, Melt-Banana
Gridgm:
ROMANTIC GORILLA - they are absolutly awesome they're lyrics are in english and they sound like the translated them using babel fish
Spinless:
I got a feeling that this thread was supposed to be about Engrish bands, not Japanese bands, which is an awful shame.
Fortunately, a lot of the great bands mentioned are going to get checked out, so in the respect, everybody wins!
I gotta say to anybody who's gonna check them out...
Be patient. It'll grow on you, I swear. Might not be what you wanted, but stick with it! I very much doubt you'll regret it!

Japanese ska bands, with the notable exception of the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. They are good. And not retarded.
Good Japanese music: Eastern Youth, Number Girl, bloodthirsty butchers. The holy triumvirate.
Also, there's a list of what basically amount to Japanese orgcore bands here. I can vouch for neither their quality nor their retardation, however.
a pack of wolves:
There is no such thing as orgcore. Seriously, can people stop inventing genres and sticking core on the end? It's very silly. The bands mentioned on that site seem to be mostly pop-punk and a lot of them are on Snuffy Smile, definitely the best Japanese pop-punk label. The Urchin, Screaming Fat Rat, Spraypaint, Minority Blues Band and the aforementioned Pear of The West are all worth a look. I recommend the compilation Pig Dog records put out a few years back as a starting point, 'The Best Punk Rock In Japan Tomodachi' compiled by Yoichi Eimori (the guy that runs Snuffy Smile). Then again I don't know if Pig Dog still exists, it was run by Russell Remains and might have died around the same time as the Fracture zine did... Anyway, yeah, Snuffy Smile are great. I'll try and remember to put some Pear of The West or something in the sendspace thread.
Edit: Pig Dog seems to have indeed died a long time ago so I bet 'The Best Punk Rock In Japan Tomodachi' will be really hard to find, I should rip it for the sendspace thread since it's really excellent and has the amazing My Winter Jane on it, and I'm pretty sure all their records are oop too..
