Does anyone else here listen to japanese music? I'm about to make a suggestion that you will either love or hate. Shiina Ringo is one of my top favorite singer/songwriters. All of her albums are very different (don't start out with her latest album, It's not that great). If you liked white chalk you should start with Karuki, Zamen, Kuri no Hana, which is the most expirimental work of her's. She has two other good albums. Her voice is an aquirred taste, It's pretty screechy (or at least I thought so when I first listened to her) Here's the link to the wikipeadia page about her:

Here are some songs by her I reccomend:

Gips is a beautiful song, this video has English subtitles.

The video for gips synchs right into the video for Yami ni furu ame.

Yokushitsu has an English version too with really cool lyrics.

Here is an intro into Shiina Ringo for you guys. I recommend starting with her album Shosou Strip.
