Suggust a band... or two

So I'm in the market for new music, suggest something. Preferably not in English and if you can I've nothing good in Russian so any suggestions in that area Major Plus.

Edit: Please no more J-Anything I've enough downloading right now and have over 5gb as it is.

Some Jrock/Jpop groups that would be considered a "band":

T.M.Revolution
Abingdon School Boys
Asian Kung-fu Generation
High and Mighty Color
UVERworld
Beat Crusaders
Nightmare
Orange Range
Last Alliance

Remind me to +Rep you two more times.

Kotoko
Glay
Aqua Timez
Gazette
Janne Da Arc


I know Kotoko isn't a "band", but she releases awesome Jpop.
Janne Da Arc disbanded, but their music is still good nonetheless.
Sorry this was all I could think of atm.

I also suggest:
FLOW (they did openings to Naruto (GO!), Code Geass (COLORS, then World End), Persona Trinity Soul (Word of Voice) and Eureka 7 (Days)) really good band, very versatile.
Back-On (Air Gear opening-Chain and Eyeshield 21 opening-Blaze Line) kinda like Linkin Park but not exactly.
Girugamesh (found them on iTunes and loving them)
Aqua Timez
Home Made Kazoku
Jinn
The Brilliant Green
Anna Tsuchiya
Zwei (one of their songs, Ice Breaker was written by Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran)
L'arc En Ciel
NICO touches the wall
12012
Xjapan (an old but good one)
Mucc
Veltpunch



P.S. T.M.Revolution is actually the singer for Abingdon Boys School also if you want to try a little pop techno, look for Shanadoo, it's cute, it's catchy and the girls are hot (the real kicker here is that the girls are japanese, the group is based in germany). Want the empress of japanese pop look up Ayumi Hamasaki.

If you want a band with a traditional unique Baltic feel, then Beirut is for you: Mandolins, Ukeleles, Accordions and the like flood their music. It is however in english.

The only artist I know of that is Russian is Vitas, a Counter-Tenor(high-voice).

French - Yann Tiersen and Air(half the time it's english though) and Justice
Spanish - Belanova(I love her, Tus Ojos is one of my Faves) and Molotov


If you're looking for different music from the norm, listen to the best Austin local area band Explosions in the Sky, they force the emotions of Nostalgia upon you.

A couple of others, more Jpop'ish than anything else:

SunSet Swish
the pillows
Undergraph
Antic Cafe
Frou Frou (UK duo that's ambient/techno. English of course)

The first to I have everything by but I'll look into the others.

I dont' know if you'll like it but you can look up BOA, not the Korean singer, but it's a British band. They did the opening for this little acid trip anime series called Serial Experiments Lain, the song was called Duvet. They're not that bad.

I was actually gonna suggest Boa(band) but paused, then remembered she was a korean artist and AL was looking for bands, then you said they were a band, I was just like,"ahhhh, now I remember my train of thought".

@AL
After you check out Frou Frou, you should listen to Imogen Heap as well although this contradicts my thought about you wanting bands, you need to know, should you happen to like Frou Frou, that it was basically some dude on the Synth while Imogen sang. She went solo after Details and learned how to work music herself and not only produces her own music, but created her own record label just to represent herself.

Are you saying that 5GB is alot? that's close to nothing :S it would be easier if you named a specific genre or two...

ever considered listening to classics and jazz?

For me and my 90GB HDD it is, and I've roughly 30GB of music other than J stuff.

I listen to anything and everything, Save Rap and Country(Don't ask I don't want to get into it0 But I'm looking for some good Metal that is not in English and is not Rammstine

Metal eh? you've come to the right girl ;)
Equilibrium
Moonsorrow
Korpiklaani
Thyrfing
Svartby
Svartsot
Finntroll
Dimmu Borgir's older albums

I've got more, although I have a brainfreeze right now
