I've been incredibly busy and am still working my way through all the stuff that's been posted here in the last few months. Some really nice stuff.
Thanks for posting Casker, Rossy Punky Perfume, EachOne&Mad.S, Sweater, Linus' Blanket, and the bossa nova-esque indie stuff. Korean indie scene is far more interesting than the mainstream Kpop scene in terms of music, but it's hard to deny that Kpop's got the whole sex-appeal thing down and it's fun to just watch how daring the music videos try to get in their competition with each other. Some of the singing talents in mainstream Kpop is really impressive too, even if the subject matter is still just typical pop stuff.
Man, that M-flo live performance is awesome.
I've been quite impressed by this track from Yukari recently, since her electronic stuff can be both feminine and aggressive, which is rare for female solo electronic artists:

Her stuff is generally pretty good:

The lack of Sinawe or Taiji brought up is appalling.
Actually, Taiji had losts of representation in this thread. It's a loooong thread--have you seen every single page?
In my next post, I think I'm going to do a "music that's influenced me the most, or brought me the most joy," which will be mostly 80's Jpop/Jrock and anime soundtracks, since that's what listened to in my teenage years in terms of Asian music.
