    I haven't listened to a lot of Japanese artists as of late but the releases that i remember that stood out to me are:

    …。【サイレンス】– psycho:lens (i just love the hell out of this album, it's sooo damn good)
    Boris – Dear (i like it, enough said :D  still have yet to catch up with their more recent releases though)
    385 – 脳みそあらおう (because how can i not mention anything by my bass queen MIYA here, like c'mon)
    Snarekillsnation – Bisui (one of the best experimental albums that i've ever heard imo)
    emmurée –  EMMURÉE (out of all the albums they released over the past decade, i enjoyed this one the most but the other albums are great too)
    cali≠gari - 14 (enjoyed this album much more than 13 tbh)
    sans visage – moments (a must listen if you want to get into japanese emo/screamo scene)
    skillkills – The Shape of Dope to Come (well, i could've picked any other record by this hip-hop trio ngl but i like this album the most, so... yeah)
    downy – 第5作品集『無題』(their best record of the 2010s imo)
    arai tasuku – Alice (i think this album is a perfect start if you want to get into j-ambient stuff)
    Melt-Banana – Fetch (at this point i would consider this album a must listen classic ngl)
    Hiromi Uehara – Spark (Fantastic jazz record)
    八十八ヶ所巡礼 (88kasyo Junrei) – i literally could pick any record of theirs 'cuz all of them are just that good but let's go with 凍狂, i guess.

    What old shoujo anime would you recommend?

    If you haven't watched any old shoujo anime yet, I'd recommend starting with classics like Hana Yori Dango (yeah, I know that the doramas are more popular but the anime adaptation deserves some recognition too), Marmalade Boy (sometimes this anime can be way too dramatic though), Gokinjo Monogatari (especially if you're a big fan of Ai Yazawa's works), Hime-chan no Ribbon (technically a maho-shoujo but overall  it's a very wholesome show imo), Onii-sama e... (now this one is a hell of ride - it has drama and all but in the second half of the series the show gets kinda dark. Oh, and it has shoujo-ai elements later in the series as well), Kodomo no Omocha (one of my favourite shoujo anime from the 90's - amazing show that deserves more love) Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou (a decent romance series from the creators of Evangelion), Chibi Maruko-chan (more of a slice-of-life series but it's damn good), Rose of Versailles (from the same author as Onii-sama e... but this one is a historical series and that's the only shoujo anime from the 70's that i've watched) and, like i mentioned earlier - Aka-chan to Boku anime is also great. 
    I think these should be enough for now xDD

    I've read New York New York from the same author. Very short and very well done series, very pleasant reading. One of the most human and touching manga readings I've had have so far.  70s, 80s and early 90s shoujo manga was a very interesting field of experimentation, which I feel it has been recently lost.

    I'm planning on reading NYNY after AkaBoku because just by reading the synopsis it sounds very interesting :D AkaBoku is also very relatable. At least from what i've read so far, it depicts human emotions so damn well i can't even.
    I haven't read a lot of old shoujo manga but i've watched a quite amount of oldschool shoujo anime xD
