6. Tricot - I've seen this band in Osaka and London. Two very different experiences down to how the audiences react to the band and vice versa...

5. Yonige - Most Western Ears find Japanese Rock/Pop tunes very generic that could be playing over the ending credits of any Anime.
Occasionally, a song pops up....

Twelve albums in and this combination of orchestral arrangements and shoegaze guitar is still going strong...
