2007 was when I first started to really explore Japanese music beyond the smattering of songs I was already listening to. My mainstays now as a result of that are Shiina Ringo and Tokyo Jihen, of course, plus Fujifabric, The Brillian Green, Spitz, Every Little Thing, Yui, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, and the noodles.
I also discovered Los Tres (from Chile) after knowing of them for a long time, and got reacquainted with the Mexican band Maná.
