Definitely a shame. I think if put under the voight-kampff machine I'd confess to knowing Megumi Hayashibara and X-Japan. I struggle to remember japanese names and always googling to remind myself; Michiru Yamane who composed the tracks for SOTN - but I'll honestly forget her name in a weeks time.

Well i got my start quite a while ago so through the 90s i was hitting japanese music pretty hard, even watching copies of music shows like HEY!HEYHEY! music champ-
some of the less heavy metal but still rock stuff i have collected-
hotei-
aikawa nanase-
The brilliant green-
Tommi from the brilliant green side project tommi heavenly/February
TMR
two-mix-
Pink sapphire-
GO!GO! 7188
Wagakki band
As for anime related singers other than megumi- you of course have Masami Okui who has done a ton of popular anime songs and of course maya Sakamoto who got her start playing hitomi in escaflowne when she was still a teenager even doing many of the vocal songs under the tutorship of the legendary composer Yoko Kanno. who went on to become a popular voice actress and singer in here own right.
thats not counting some of the incredible one shots- like
red faction from MELL
witch hunter robin by Bana
or the kabaneri opening done by the the group egoist
Pretty much any Japanese metal fan knows X-japan, show-ya, and seikima II and to a lesser degree loudness, anthem and sex machineguns.
Some of the more obscure ones in my collection are things like
Fatima hill-
bridear-
galmet
Onmyo-za
fairy kingdom(yousei teikoku)
manipulated slaves
Fate gear
there are a few others like hard gear i cannot even find a video for.
Thats not even counting the popular bands i never cared for like-
.Glay
.Malice mizer
.Larc en ceil
.Dir en grey
.laputa
When you are dealing with an entire country you are bound to find some very good talent. even if they primarily cater to the native audience.

I keep hearing about Olivia Rodrigo because I pay half-attention to pop music and finally ended up listening to her.
She's so much better than the pop music I grew up with (Britney, Pink, Christina, etc). gak, Guts and Future Nostalgia are the best mainstream 'pop' albums since the 80's imo.
The only way we can ever solve anything is to look in the mirror and find no enemy
I'm not much interested in Alan Wake; I did watch my flatmate playing it way back in the day it came out, and the gameplay didn't appeal to me much, in all honesty. But I'm loving this a lot!
"The best way to lie is to tell the truth." Attelus Kaltos.
My story! Secret War
After his organisation is hired to hunt down an influential gang leader on the Hive world, Omnartus. Attelus Kaltos is embroiled deeper into the complex world of the Assassin. This is the job which will change him, for better or for worse. Forevermore. Chapter 1.
The Angaran Chronicles: Hamar Noir. After coming back from a dangerous mission which left his friend and partner, the werewolf: Emilia in a coma. Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?
A couple new things that dropped into my suggestions-
A thai all female folk/metal band
Aliz
Nini music a Chinese folk/metal artist this is a metallica cover she did-
And an all female Korean metal band-
rolling quartz- i really like their sound-

Apparently they are doing ok, they did a US and EU tour, and i cannot find a hard copy of their first album anywhere-it is sold out.
