Since we've all but been banished in the General and especially the News forum of which they most likely blocked my username by now. Talk about your favorite artists, give me songs, etc.

Er...nope. They did the song "Duvet" for Lain. The only reason I know that is because I randomly downloaded it and the song's great.

Lain is an excellent anime and BoA are good as well. My favorite j-rock bands include The Pillows, L'arc En Ciel, Nature Living, and Do As Infinity. If you havnt heard Nature Living then check em out. They are kinda like a Japanese Thursday.

Suteki da Ne by Rikki (Final Fantasy track or something) is a neat song. Does she have anything else released?
