I don't work for them so I don't endorse it or anything but there's some sound
samples, interviews, etc. and all in convenient English (or Japanese for those
up to the challenge)!
On the same tip, is there anyone (except Ben List) who's up on Japanese hip-hop
at the moment. I'm also looking for labels/distributors here in the U.S. who
can supply... Though I'm from Hawaii, pickins are extremely slim and local
distributors of J-Pop and the like are completely clueless. Any help would be
cool...
Mahalos,
