I recently fell in love with a few bands, most of them Japanese. Maximum the Hormone is a less recent find, but they're still awesome. Ketchup Mania and Plastic Tree are also wicked. Grandaddy isn't Japanese and I'm not so sure about them, but their song A.M. 180 gets stuck in my head frequently.
The main reason for this entry though is to discuss Plastic Tree and it's lead singer, Ryuutaro. Ryuutaro looks exactly like L from Death Note, and I don't usually like to compare real people and anime, but... the resemblance is striking. Plastic Tree is also a really good band, and Ryuu's voice is amazing.
Plastic Tree in all their glory.
