Shitty chart tbqh

Anyway try People In The Box and THE NOVEMBERS. You also want to check out Yura Yura Teikoku.

And also Which album have you heard so far? I wouldn't consider Magic Disk and some of their albums (Surf Bungaku Kamakura) as "anime pop".

What purpose does categorizing music from different genres by it's country of origin serve unless you're a weeb?

Also, stillichimiya aren't essential but fun nonetheless ;-)

>stillichimiya

Don't tell me they are ska band.

>What purpose does categorizing music from different genres by it's country of origin serve unless you're a weeb?

Just americans who wish they were asian, for some reason.

Don't know if bait, but I'll bite. Talking about a country's music has always been a normal thing to do.

I only know a few artists, but these are pretty essential IMO

Because as with games and cartoons too, Japanese music is always better than the Western equivalent.

Maybe not electronic music though...
