I want to start listening to more jap music, as of now, all I know are animoo OP and ED songs and bands.

Bands/artists I know I enjoy include:
Orange Range
UVERworld
Flow
T.M. Revolution
Tommy Heavenly6
Nakagawa Shouko
Whoever does the fucking OP for Kannagi and the OP and ED of Toradora.

You get the idea. I'm really not just some shounenfag (as I'm sure it appears), we're talking about music here, not animoo. But what other J-Rock/J-Pop do you guys think I'll like?

Most good Jpop doesn't exist in the form of bands that write their own material, but (possibly) famous singer+studio musicians performing somebody else's work.

Anyhoo, I get all my Jpop by listening to Internet radio stations, waiting until I hear something I like, and then downloading the appropriate album/OST/whatever.

uhhh guren lagan OP was pretty standard jpop by Shokotan.
Soul Eater op (op1, at least, I don't know what they are now) is more of a pop rock.

I'd say check out pop standards like YUI, yuki, ayaka, and anime/seiyuu artists like Minori Chihara, Nana Mizuki, anything from I'VE (kotoko, mell, kawada mami)

For rock I'd look for stuff by afromania, GO!GO!7188, janne de arc, abdingon boy's school

I'm also obliged to mention JAM Project, Shimotsuki Haruka, santara, and Sound Horizon.

Not because they're similar to anything you like, but just because they're awesome.

This.

It's the only j-music I've heard so far that I considered good enough to download besides the soundtrack of the .hack anime, and the lyrics for that are in english so it's kind of half&half.
Though I will admit that I haven't watched as much animu as some of you chums, but I've seen enough to know that anime music is usually mid tier at best.

But you're not looking for anime music so this is all besides the point.
Avoid the j-pop.
At least some of it anyway.

I don't visit /a/ but I sometimes listen to /a/ radio when I'm bored, surfing the net, whatever.
There's too much touhou stuff on it, which is a hell of a contradiction the way /a/ board acts if you talk about touhou on there, but besides the point.

They play too much touhou stuff, but now and then some stuff sung by yoko kanno comes up.
That stuff is pretty good.

.hack soundtrack was done by Yuki Kajiura, a relatively popular composer in the anime world. Look for other soundtracks she's done; kara no kyoukai, noir, madlax, el cazador, mai hime/otome

Back in the days the market wasn't bloated with idols every year and cute dancing wasn't mandatory.

She had talent and no rivals. She wouldn't be as famous if she started her career last year for example.

This reminds me of my ipod dilemma.

I work in a warehouse overnight, and we have a radio that's powerful enough to play the contents of anyone's mp3 player for our workers. Anyone can generally hook theirs up whenever they want. Our numbers are small enough that we can maintain a loose rotation.

Unfortunately, my playlist has stuff on it from anime and videogames. They're not in the majority, but it's enough that, if I ever intend to hook it up to the radio, I have to sort them out of the playlist or move the files back to my hard drive before work.

As a result, I've gotten a lot more used to pop culture and a lot more squeamish about my private hobbies. As the days go by, it gets harder to indulge, even when there's noone around to judge me.

I'm at the point where I'm sitting on a cultural fence and I don't know which way to lean.

It's like everyday of my life. Back when I was in 7th grade the only TV that wasn't facing a window was in my brother's room so I would sneak in when he was asleep to watch Trigun. I got paranoid after doing that and when I finally did get my own TV I had it facing a corner in my room and I would only watch anime with my door locked.

One day I had forgotten I had a mirror behind me for whatever reason and I had left my door unlocked. My brother came in and saw my watching Inuyasha; he asked why I was watching that, I made up some horrible excuse and told him to get out. From that day onward I wouldn't watch anime when people were home. I'm still the same way all these years later. I don't watch anime unless I'm home alone. A side effect of this is that I center my life around anime. Whenever I'm home alone, I do NOTHING but watch anime because I never know when I'll get another opportunity to. I may want to play the vidya, study for class, or finish up some work but if no one else is around I just can't bring myself to do it.

I turn the volume up whenever I'm watching anime or listening to Japanese music or anything because my mom likes hearing the Japanese. She can even differentiate it from the Korean shouting of StarCraft matches from all the way in the kitchen, despite being deaf in one ear.

It's just the sensible thing to do. When you leave 4chan and go out into society it's a completely different world.

What do you think a bunch of guys in a warehouse want to listen to? Yoko Kanno, or Collective Soul? This Illusion, or Everlong?

Part of growing up is knowing what you have to omit about yourself to fit in to a given social network. That, and of course accepting that sometimes you just have to put some value in fitting in.

It's generally not a good idea to try to inject your interests into your peers. There are better battles to be fought, and this one will lead you to ostracization.

That's another thing entirely-- of course he shouldn't play weeaboo music there, besides the fact that he'd risk getting laughed at it's not a style that most people listen to, he'd probably get a similar response if he put on an Italian opera or something.

I'm talking about people who are afraid to watch in their own home. For gods sake, are your parents going to beat you if they find out you watch anime or something? If you can't trust the people close to you to accept, or at least not care, about your interests, then you need to find new people to get close to.

Some families put a lot more pressure on their own than yours do. It's not necessarily a bad thing. It keeps you in touch with reality.

Yea, but that doesn't mean that you should lapse into submissiveness. If you want to fucking watch some anime, just watch it, and if someone walks in on you, tell them, "oh, I'm just watching a show I like." You have nothing to justify or explain.

Generally, otaku aren't in financial control of their residence. If the property owner tells you to keep the noise down, family or not, you keep the noise down.

Being entertained by yourself is simple, but with a normalfag in the room, the air grows heavy with shame, as you're waiting for the inevitable questions such as "why are you watching cartoons of little girls in skirts" and "when are you ever going to get laid" to be launched.

Even if they never come audibly, you know what they're thinking, and there's no explanation for it. They're right to pressure you with these kinds of questions.

Details of the content aside, it is escapism.

There's nothing wrong with anime anymore than any other form of entertainment.

There's also no reason you should assume people will see it that way, nor should you try to make them see it that way.

A fact of life is that people will discriminate against you for whatever reason, whether it be the color of your skin or your hobbies. Society will only be on your side for one of those. Don't waste energy thinking how it "should be". Make up hobbies and live your life hiding your real ones. You'll get plenty of fulfilling social interaction over the internet.

Not all of us are tasteless and would watch such 'gems' at all.

What the fuck do I care? They're my parents, it's not my job to impress them. They were around when I was watching DBZ and Sailor Moon on TV, she was interested in watching with me when I downloaded Ninja Scroll off KaZaA, and if she ever wants to watch something else with me she can.

Two-Mix - one of the only j-pop groups that was ever worth a shit.

Aside from that, here are some japanese bands and artists I listen to:
* Speed, Glue, & Shinki
* Jun Kamikubo
* Flower Travellin' Band
* The Jacks
* Blues Creation
* Zuno Keisatsu
* Yellow Magic Orchestra
* The Mops

or if you want (somewhat) more recent stuff:
* Globe
* Ainotamenishisu
* M-Project
* Omega Force

In my opinion these particular bands and artists represent some of the best music Japan has to offer (outside of their traditional music).

I'd love to listen to more music as well, but I find it too much work to look for music I want and prefer when the music come to me (like OP/EDs in anime)

I guess looking up some J-pop radio or something on the internet could be a way to get to know more bands though.
