    I'll come back to this thread during the weekend, but are you wanting any genre? I used to dabble in everything 80/90's and can probably list a few albums.
    I know there are some threads around here that listed some stuff before, but may need some digging to find them.

    My huge favorite from the '80s is BOØWY who were total pop-rock perfection imo (but I am a rabid stan so...). They formed in 1981 with their first recording lineup being a 6-piece (complete with saxophonist), but their most long-lasting and most known material is from their glory days as a 4-member band. They toured their asses off, released a handful of albums and called it quits in 1988, by the time they were one of the biggest rock acts in Japan, later inspiring youngsters in the early '90s to start their own bands (a.k.a. the "band boom" in Japan).
     
    Kyosuke Himuro is an explosive frontman with just the most awesome voice, and together with guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei they composed songs that were compact, streamlined, catchy yet creative. Tsunematsu Matsui is the stone-faced bass powerhouse and Makoto Takahashi is his smiley and energetic drummer counterpart, completing the rhythm section "Yin and Yang" (ok, this sounds kinda corny, but rly just watch them perform, they're total opposites in terms of stage presence but both awesome).
     
    Here are some cool vids, hopefully they stay up (BOØWY's YT videos tend to get taken down fairly regularly):
     
    "MARIONETTE" music video with animation produced by Gainax
     
    "PLASTIC BOMB" live version from their 1987 Christmas gig
     
    "NO. NEW YORK" awesome live version from their 2-day last live at Tokyo Dome

    Agree with you there  Listening to these oldie songs are so absolutely amazing. So much of my memories of old Japanese songs come from old animes like Evangelion with its opening song, "Cruel Angel's Thesis", sung by Yoko Takahashi and, of course, Moonlight Densetsu (Sailormoon). 
     
    This showed up in my Youtube feed one day and I've loved her music ever since.
     
     
    Also, it's a little late for the season, but she sang a popular Christmas song still played in Japan today.
     
    This was used for Rurouni Kenshin, but I think the upbeat, jazzy tune make it a great song to listen to. (Rurouni Kenshin had lots of memorable and amazing artists sing for the anime, including T.M. Revolution with his "Heart of Sword" song. Judy and Mary is another group who sang the song, Sobakasu, for the series. You should definitely check them out.)
     
     
    And this song was used in Yu Yu Hakusho. Great song
     
     
     
    Also, Namie Amuro is a 90's artist I was first introduced through from the anime, Inuyasha, with her song, "Come."
     
     
    I like her other songs as well. One of them is this song...
     
     
    Another 90's artist I like is Aikawa Nanase. Here is one of her songs. 
     
     
    And there's lots more including Do as Infinity and Every Little Thing. These two artist also have some great songs as well. (I was introduced to them through Inuyasha as well, lol.) Most of them are from animes, but it was how I got introduced to these cool musicians ^^;

    I've been feeling like living in a dull age,and music is one of the few things that keeps my days a little bit more enjoyable.
    So,few days ago i decided to listen something different and randomly i ended up playing some 90's best album from T.M Revolution 
    and i absolutely loved the atmosphere. It just felt nostalgic,like when i was a kid watching some animes with those catchy songs (good times)
    So i thought: why not diving into this kind of music? i mean...i don't know nothing about the japanese music out of visual kei,
    and think the old stuff is a good place to start and also the most interesting part:
     
    here's some things i started listening these days

    I think this Jin thing is simply a matter of talent. He just can't come up with something truly memorable. Sho (DIMLIM) for example, he's not even half a decade in the scene,and each track  so far had a chorus to die for.

    @CELESTIAL CIEL  when I first heard AvelCain,I hated Karma's singing,but suddenly i got used to them,and started loving it
    so I think we just need time to digest this brand new Karma.At least the whole concept is pretty solid.

    Manji 卍 reacted to Karma’s Hat in Karma (ex. AvelCain) new project, "蘭図" (Rands)   
    AvelCain was a band with good moments in a largely forgettable discography, and those moments were when they managed to sound somewhat like a band and still retain that spirit. The problem wasn't that they were raw or something ( although the general consensus on MH is still that if a vocalist wouldn't be up to scratch competing in American Idol, he's probably shit and certainly not something one could be playing to their friends and relatives, ) but that they could barely even decide on a sound between all the chinese restaurant ost gimmicks, nu metal riffs and vaguely old school ballads and freak outs; and all of this exploration was being done with minimal musicianship while still insisting on having a clean studio sound ( which sounded awful to the point of almost being reminiscent of western vk production ) and making defined songs instead of bursts of noise which they probably should've been doing instead. For every Psycho and ID they had an ocean of mediocrity that Karma's lifestyle performance art took a level above. Idk what's the totality of their composition credits but I wouldn't be surprised if everything they made themselves was shit. 
     
    This project sounds like he's finally going for something, a sound with a concise aesthetic and the influences he's working with here definitely mean that this is in the right side of history even if it isn't the best thing going 
     
    so poseurs leave the hall.

    I can't get excited until I hear Jin singing a chorus that isn't the same one he always does. Idk if he genuinely recycles the melodies or if his distinct voice just makes everything sound the fucking same.

    Why the guitars are mixed so low? TBS had an awesome production.
     
    Nothing new speaking about Jin, he's just like Ai from deathgaze, doesn't matter how many new bands he will form it's going to be the same thing.
