What new musical acts are you in to?

Recently I found this awesome little band called FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, no, it's not a typo. They've got such a fun sound and engaging stage presence, their lyrics aren't half bad either. I wish I knew about them earlier, but it's one of those bands that are just so hard to hear about relying on the English speaking community alone, thanks to my initial discovery of them I've found a little footwork can make for great things.

Naitte Waratte Yume wo Miteta (http://youtube.com/watch?v=U1BoymAoaMY) from their second album, FMB2, is my favorite song from them at the moment.

I like the FUNKY MONKEY BABYS. I've been attempting to get more of their songs since I heard Lovin' Life. I really like their upbeat pace to most of their songs, and their voices sound really nice together. And DJ Chemical is an awesome dancer, eheh. My favourite song from them at the moment is Chippoke na Yuki, their 5th single, and one of the songs on their second album.

It's been a while since I found out about them, but I guess I can mention GReeeeN. Their voices aren't as strong as the FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, but the vocal editing and the composition of some of their songs is pretty darn good. UNITY and Machi (I really can't decide between the two) are my favourites from them.

Not a new musical act or anything, but I've been into a lot of J-core/nerdcore/anicore recently.
They are pretty famous in the English speaking community too (heck some anicore artists aren't Japanese), so nothing too rare here.

Current favourites are:
STRAWBERRY SWEETZ - DJ SHARPNEL (http://youtube.com/watch?v=QmavR90AziU) (Rozen)
THE ANTHEMS - Hakke Shoukai (http://youtube.com/watch?v=sSRqtMDs5_E) (ComiPa)
