Japanese Bands/Singers you discovered through anime

[egg]

that you decided to look into and found out all of their songs are Bangers.

For me, those bands would definitely have to be Asian Kung fu Generation, The Pillows and KANA BOON.
Their entire discography slaps thru the frickin roof???

When I was growing up making Anime Music Videos was quite popular (still is though not to the same extent as back then). So I discovered not only some great anime soundtracks/singers but also quite a few singers/groups through the songs people were/are using.

Yeah!! Those were the good days lol AMVs are how I discovered An Cafe, LM.C and Shakalabbits!!

[Naughty Kitty]

Niiice, there are still a few channels that put them out semi-regular that have some amazing creators under their wing.

the only japanese band i've really downloaded more than a single/OP for was boom boom satellites and the whole album was solid and they're great driving music

[Pixiedora]

L'Arc~en~ciel obvs, they're now one of my all time fave bands. Was even lucky enough to see them when they came to London a few years back. Spyair also, I have like 3 of their albums now and they are all fantastic!

I really like Kalafina. I first heard them in Black Butler, then Arslan Senki, Kara no Kyoukai and then Madoka Magica.
Just kept hearing them and liked all that I heard so eventually checked them out fully.
