Listening to Japanese music?

[Charles Lockhar]

Anybody in the U.S. listen to Japanese music via iTunes streaming radio? If so, tips on how to do that?

There are several, Just open I tunes, click radio, and look for the international section. You can find these stations and maybe a few more. Double click them to listen. Some may be off the air

Animaze , Japan-A-Radio, Jshoxx, Mandarin Radio, Radiotaku, Samurai Radio

WARNING some of its pretty weird stuff. the other is Jrock, anime music

Any station recommendations specifically for pop/rock? I'm pretty sure the oyabun, er, I mean beloved wife, doesn't go out for weird. Her preference is probably for stuff from the 90s.

Dont really listen that much myself. More a fan of Scottish and Jazz. I know there is some pretty weird stuff out there. You may search the web for Japanese Radio stations that webcast live I listen to a scottish station that way.

Does Cibo Matto count?

Japan-a-radio might be your best bet if you want jpop and what not. they have a airing schedule on the radio site. I'll listen to it every once in awhile minus the anime music.
