Hi there head-fi. I'm looking for music similar to that which Yuki kajiura, akiko shikata, and kokia produce.
Its difficult because these artists don't stick to one genre. They play music ranging from filmscore, to punk rock, to Singer/songwriter style music. From industrial to pop. I'm very fond of this eclectic, mixed genre these artists play and wish to discover more similar artists.
The artists don't have to be Japanese, its pretty much just a coincidence that this style of music is made by Japanese composers.
Examples:
Yuki Kajiura:
