Default Please recommend me some J-rock

My knowledge of Japanese rock is next to nothing, save for a few bands such Boredoms and Boris.

I liked Number Girl's School Girl Distortional Addict a while back, and recently resumed my love for this band.

Please recommend me some Japanese bands that totally rock. Thanks! :-)

I'm not really sure Boris counts as "J-rock" other than it is (more-or-less) a rock outfit from Japan. I'm not trying to split hairs, but what's labelled as J-Rock is usually specific like Jpop is to regular pop. (Which used to drive me nutso-buttso back in the day because Larc en Ciel and that ilk is not my scene.)

But i digress. The Pillows. Not to steal Glath's thunder, but if he were with us today he would say Asai Kenichi whose guitar work you may recognize. Also Acidman.
Wild card selection: back in the day when I was just getting in to music from Japan, one song I adored was "Taiyou wa yoru mo kagayaku" by WINO. I never looked in to this band, but I still enjoy the song a great deal. (Apparently this is from an anime too.)

It should also be noted that Maboroshi is nothing without their guitarist, and he gets just as much face time in their PVs as Mummy-D (the rapper featured in Sanmon Gossip).

This band really rocks! They sound like L7 playing a kind of danceable proto-punk, even have a song called Stooges.
