You are a great man. I fear most of the sift will either ignore it or simply not like it, however.

(this is a really really tight sort of Acid Jazz arrangement album of 10 songs from Chrono Trigger, and I love it muchly)

Well...this is the reason I don't really listen to my music on shuffle. The volume of Japanese rock and indie rock on there makes it so that the odds of busting out any of the other Western music I love is a little low, but the awesomeness of it starting with my favorite band on random was pretty neat. I was pleasantly surprised that The Jam managed to pop up, since due to space issues I currently only have that one album in here right now.

Awesome fun!

Well, it's really rather hard to guage the success of any of the indie bands in Japan, but the indie scene is very booming. These guys have done shows with the likes of Sparta Locals and such, so I don't think they're not successful; they're just not mainstream like AKG and such. But yeah. They're good stuff. You should also check out ART-SCHOOL (I queued some other music vids you might like, including one by them).
