I could gush like a japanese schoolgirl in pigtails, But that usually gets odd stares and cutting remarks. Yes guitar wolf are from japan and i love them, They have this unabashed sincere love for a long dead phenomenon called rock and roll. They just rock, The attitude, leather jackets and chainsmoking may seem contrived but if you've really heard these guys you would know they do what they do just for the love of it. I really like them because they never really fit in with a distinct era, or genre. There as jet-set and timeless as the pixies and id better stop, I felt a girlish squeal welling up and thats just not a road i wanna go down... again. *ahem*
What this has to do with j-pop i dunno,

i JUST watched Kill Bill vol.1, and i saw them! what a great movie (and a great soundtrack too!). Quentin Tarantino is a genius.
Aphi:
Watch the special features. More 5,6,7,8s.

--- Quote from: JLM ---Define "Pop."
For more traditional JPop, there's always Utada Hikaru, Minmi or Boa, Dragon Ash, Smap...
For more rockin' stuff, there's Orange Range, L'Arc en Ciel, Flow... of course Puffy Amiyumi who everyone probably knows for their Teen Titans theme more than anything else :/
Yoko Kanno is interesting, though not really Jpop, since a lot of her stuff is really orchestral in nature. I'd almost put her at pure electronica.

I was listening to a Utada Hikaru song and one line made me laugh really hard
