I'd just like to mention that I am absolutely in love with school food punishment. Right now, they're pretty much everything I've wanted: great female vocals, fancy bass and piano lines, interesting electronica in the background, and the ability to put out both unique high energy tracks and slower, softer songs. I think they're only recently getting more attention because their first single, futuristic imagination, is the ED for Eden of the East.

Versailles, Kanon Wakeshima, AnCafe ((I <3 Bou~)), Yousei Teikoku, D'espairsray, Super Junior, and NOVASONIC are my favourite bands, prolly. I think there's more, but I can't remember right off the top o' mah head. xDDD[/font]

Also, can I state my amazement that no one has mentioned the pillows yet?

Anyone else love Hello Project groups?

Then I got into their song "Hi Hi," the theme song to the animated show Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi. Then I listened to more of their stuff, and now I'm a big fan.
I am also a big fan of the band Do as Infinity. I'm not sure how I got into them, I think it was through some song they did for the anime Inuyasha (the opening and ending songs for that anime are a great intro to j-pop, since they feature many well-known bands).
To yukoxholic: Utada Hikaru is good, I hear. I noticed Ayumi Hamasaki is on your "don't like" list. I have listened to some of her songs, and they aren't bad. But tastes differ, of course. The band Every Little Thing (which I discovered through an "iTunes Essentials" album) is good too.

"Sailor Moon Live Action") fansites (since Chieco-chan played Naru in that series). I found a site with mp3's of her other songs, and I found I liked her stuff a lot.
