What kinda asian music (besides anime themes etc) do you listen to?

I personally i listen to anything from kpop recently to jrock still - and i had chinese visual kei once, but i forgot what the band was.

Other than that, i've had chinese/cantonese pop, taiwanese pop and other interesting stuff :)

Like bands wise, it's been Farenheit, DBSK, G-Dragon, Trax, BIG BANG, 2NE1, Hikaru Utada, X-japan, SHINEE, SMAP/SHINGO MAMA (>.> shingo mama no oha rock XD .... gawd.. katori shingo is a dork) , Hideto Matusmoto (RIP HIDE! ... like duh i'd say that <3) , Malice Mizer, Violet UK and a crapload more ... i'd have to rage through my hard drive lmao.

So yea :) What asian music do you listen to ?

Alot of the stuff you mentioned, I listen to~
( except Hikaru Utada because I got into her stuff years back when I first started listening to J-music )
Mostly J-rock though and visual kei bands. <3333 AND KOREAN BOYBANDS.
AND THOSE K/J-DRAMA THEME SONGS. /more love/ Huang Yi Da~~

X-Japan, Malice Mizer and hide are old time favourites ( MANA ! ) but recently I've gotten into the Korean and little Chinese/Cantonese hiphop ? . . pop genre.
Still like J-metal too. ^ ^

The only anime songs I actually like to listen to are character ones . . ( from the voice actors ).

^ Grahhh. I know! I found out this morning. It's so cool how Mayday came to a little country like New Zealand. But I can't see them either ;_;

Mizuki Nana, the brilliant green, a lot of J-Pop and J-Rock.... most anime/drama ED and OP albums xD My favourite changes depending on my mood and whether or not I've found another person who I think is 'cooler'.

Other than anime/manga/game music, I listen to one Japanese band, that being RADWIMPS.

I love their music SOOO much.

I also listen to random songs that I come across in my journeys through the internet, but other than the aforementioned one, no specific artists. C:

I don't really listen to all that much Asian music.
But I quite like The Pillows.
And Guitar Wolf.
And I REALLY LIKE POLYSICS. ZOMG. Polysics are awesome in a way that cannot be explained.

@Pyro: I just listened to some RADWIMPS on Youtube. Pretty good.

aside from videogame OSTs (which reminds me that i still don't have the ToL OST), i listen to quite a lot of jrock... oTZ and the odd smattering of kpop and jpop.

can't say it's my favorite 'cause i fail at singing along to jrock and kpop, but i can sing along to some jpop so....

yeah i still prefer music with english lyrics XP

most of my asian music is drone/stoner rock, but there's some shoegaze and post rock, too
