Music industry guy in a music recommendation thread woo!
I might as well just focus on Japan, because everyone here loves Japan for some completely irrational reason. Also there's so much non-English-language music out there that I like, that if I go for more than one country this post could just go on forever.
King Brothers are the best rock band in Japan right now. They blew my shitty band right off the stage when we toured with them a few years back:
If that's not weird enough for you, how about a Japanese all-female 11-piece ska/rap group?
Or... Japanese orchestral black metal?
Or... Japanese transexual-fronted rockabilly?
Of course, as all fans of Japanese music will know, the most influential Japanese music has always been avant-jazz rock, noise and power electronics. Who can go past these Japanese-language classics:
(okay on that first one the musos are from that strange USA place, but the singer is Japanese so it counts)
Oh and pop music. Naturally.
Well that's Japan wrapped up and I didn't even have to resort to awful Visual Kei or a single video with dodgy anime/manga characters in it. If anyone wants me to "do their country" let me know.

Alright. If you need any more help, just ask!mraustindude19 said:thelaofkazi helped me already.AyrSuppli said:mraustindude19 said:How does liking that song make you gay, lol?
Also, to post videos, type (bracket)youtube=(youtube code, the thing after v=)(close bracket). So, like (open bracket)youtube= hKhMYqF8SAg(close bracket) without the space, for your video. Quote me and test, to see if you got it right.
My personal non-English favorite right now is:
<spoiler=Sorairo Days!
Also, welcome (kind of) to the Escapist!
Funny how this is turning into 'Japanese Music discussion.'
Anyway, I favour a few different artists who don't sing in English.
Dutch: Acda en de Munnik, Van Dik Hout
Japanese: GO!GO!7188, Radwimps, 笑連隊
German: Roger Cicero
French: Camille Dalmais
There's more Japanese stuff...but I don't really want to go into detail.
