Allrighty, so I have been listening to my friends Macross Plus Soundtrack Vol. 2 off and on for a while now, and some of the songs are pretty catchy.

So, I was basically wondering if anybody has any advice on Japanese (Yoko Kanno or others) electric/techno/house/trance whatever the heck it is called this month.

I would like to expand my horizons and try some other stuff.

About 95% of Japanese teen music is filled with this. It's girls with high voices singing really fast and they all sound the same. I know theres some 3 girl group that has an album filled with dance/trance remixes of lots of anime theme music. Don't remember what they were called though.. as I said they all sound the same.

I know a couple Japanese pop artists...
Ayumi Hamasaki <~~~ i know there are several techno remixes of her, very popular i think
Kyoko Fukada
Namie Amuro

My personal fav japanese artist...
Utada Hikaru
