Posted in: What was the best music act of 2008? See in context
Thats a tough one. Its been a pretty good year for foreign music...not so much for J-music though. I thought was poor year on the domestic front. Deadmau5? MGMT? Kings of Leon? Bloc Party? couldn't narrow it down to one

RogueFive> Couldn't agree more. I was so shocked when I first learned that sex-ed wasn't taught in schools. And I soon noticed how much it showed. So many women know nothing about their own bodies, contraception etc that it is just startling

Forgot to mention all the awesome DJs on the dance scene! Some great house and trance music to be heard. Too many artists to list...

Southern All Stars and Kuwata Keisuke were tops. Mr Children, Bump Of Chicken and Spitz aren't too bad.
Must also mention Tokyo Jihen! Not a fan of Shiina Ringo's vocals but the band is great with some unique jazz and rock sounds that you don;t really hear much of in Japan.
I agree with most posters about the mainstream boy bands (can't stand Johnny's boys) and squealing girls

Quite the mix of girls in there: some of them are completely plain, I would even go ad far as to say unattractive. Others however are smokin...(Mima!)
