AKUTAGAWA - Kimi to Boku (2006)

AKUTAGAWA is an emotive hardcore band with post-rock elements on their music. Sometimes they remind me of Texas is the Reason.

Bachikaburi - Nagomu Collection 2CDs (2007)

Bachikaburi (ばちかぶり) was a japanese punk band from the 80's, fronted by the cult actor Taguchi Tomorowo (田口トモロヲ) who stared the "famous" movie Tetsuo: The Iron Man. They were part of a famous label called Nagomu and their music is a blend of new wave with punk, resulting on a very psychedelic sound. Since they don't have a MySpace, check out this video from their greatest hit, it's a song called ONLY YOU.
