my favorite Japan's songs

so sorry I can't use English well.
but I want to introduce Japan's music to my friends.
I love English guitar rock/pops and American alternative/grange music.
radiohead, pulp, sleeper, lush, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and so on.
Japan's music is not so bad, as good as Japan's cars or machines.
