japanese electronica and/or techno

[Mr. Manji]

I'm sure this has been asked many times around the forum but..... what are some good japanese techno and/or electronica groups? im looking for groups that i guess would be comparable to the "chemical brothers" in style, but any suggestions would be great!

o_o well, There is Schwarz Stein. But they aren't like the Chemical Brothers. But they do play techno. Check em' out. :I

 

[Mr. Manji]

Check out this thread for some good suggestions:

Electronic music in Japan

Hello everyone, Genki? I just discovered these forums. They look good. I am returning to Japan in a month for a few years and am interested to know more about the electronic music scene in Japan. Any recommendations? I like all types of music, and I also produce my own stuff. I am wondering...

Schwartz Stein techno? I'd say it's more electronically driven goth.
Is their first album out yet?

props!
chemical brothers style? lemme think -- are we talking star guitar or block-rockin beats?

 

[Twisted]

I guess you can't go wrong with the Boom Boom Satellites, when it comes to Chem style. Of course it's not the same, but it's in the neighbourhood.

 

[Mr. Manji]

much thanks for the great suggestions,

@budd, ya i guess it would be more like star guitar that would suit me best but whatever its all good

wow, i just finished checking out that link, now i have to find a way save up a ton of money to buy it all

The Polysics. Bottled sugar. ^^ Very very hyper electronica that makes you wanna dance. They aren't Chemical Brothers tho...the Polysics are simply cool electronic.

Does anyone know where I can download the UFO Dance? I reeeeally need it... and I can't even find out who sings it to buy the album!

HELP! x_x;;

What about Mary and Judy?

I know it's from Pink Lady, but... where can I get it? ;.;

 

[Twisted]

I think they've released a "best of" album earlier this year. CD-Japan should have that in stock.

Thank you! *thinks about what else to buy besides that CD so the shipping will be worth it...*

You guys are awesome. I found the song I wanted. Now I'm in search of another song... It's another one I danced to at the language camp.
This one was my favorite because the dance steps were ones I could actually DO.... but no one from the camp seems to know what the song's name is for sure. There's some speculation around "The International Day Dance" but I can't find it under that title.
It was kind of Egyptian sounding.... anyone have the slightest clue of what song I'm talking about?

Anything would be helpful... thanks!
