I'll post some of the bands I own material from later along with recommendations. I'll probably overlap with others.

i believe i have mentioned it in other threads, but i strongly suggest the latest Outer Limits release called Stromatolite, which was my personal top 2007 album.
Awesome symphonic prog!

I just know a few names like Ain Soph and Hiromi (Jazz Fusion) Gerard and Yonin Bayashi. Japanese mucisians are proficient in their instruments specially with jazz.
Cant wait to get ARS NOVA!!!!

Thanks for reanimating this thread, BrianB These are my finest Japanese progrock discoveries in the last years: KBB – Live 2004 By the way, I also own the Live 2005 Official Bootleg DVD by KBB but I can't find my review ... sorry. INTERPOSE+ - Interpose+ - WOW, this is an amazing debut CD from a Japanese band that has so much to offer and an incredible high level of musicianship! 1. Aircon (11:03): The intro delivers a slow and compelling rhythm with howling electric guitar, then a powerful mid-tempo rhythm with jazzrock overtones and great interplay. Lots of dynamic shiftings moods, pleasant female vocals and great soli on electric guitar, synthesizer and violin (Akihisa Tsuboy from KBB). Their sound reminds me of fellow Japanese band Providence because of the female vocals and jazzrock inspiration. 2. Dayflower (10:04): A slow rhythm with a dreamy atmoshpere featuring awesome violin-Mellotron flights. Gradually the music becomes more lush and dynamic featuring moving, often howling electric guitar runs and a spectacular synthesizer soli. The final part delivers a short piece on classical guitar. 3. Zitensia (8:30): This compositions contains dynamic an powerful interplay (guitar, piano, rhythm-section) and many fiery and howling electric guitar soli (including wah-wah). The level is very high and evokes the excellent jazzrock from Mahavishnu Orchestra, splendid! 4. Koibumi (10:55): A wonderful track with a great build-up, first dreamy with flute-like keyboards, warm female vocals and tender piano runs, then gradually more lush featuring a sensitive electric guitar solo. Again Providence is on my mind because of the powerful female vocals and dynamic interplay. The final part delivers some beautiful classical guitar and just another splendid, very sensitive electric guitar solo. 5. Last Sign (7:16): The atmosphere is dreamy with slow and sensitive jazzy guitar runs, soaring keyboards and strong drums. The music becomes more dynamic with sensational synthesizer flights and fiery electric guitar runs, the rhythm-section sounds strong and propulsive. The second part delivers exciting dynamic music with a swirling Hammond organ solo and harder-edged electric guitar, the interplay is amazing! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST JAPANESE PROGROCK ALBUMS EVER MADE, I AM SURE IT WILL PLEASE BOTH THE SYMPHONIC ROCK FANS AS THE MORE JAZZROCK INSPIRED AFICIONADOS!!

Even though the name looks Italian Il Berlione are Japanese.
Their self titled and "In 453 Minutes Infernal Cooking" albums are worth a listen. There is definatly some quality prog happening in Japan. |

I've heard very little from that genre.
Koenjihyakkei was complete noise to me. Ruins was a bit more my taste, still not sure about it, though.

If you like avant-prog with a sillier approach, I'd strongly recommend Wha-Ha-Ha. An acquired taste, but extremely rewarding!

The first 2 Bondage Fruit albums have dual female vox.
There is also a band called OOIOO and the band leading up to them, Boredoms.

That's as far as I can get in spelling the name...
