Any fans here of the Japanese alt/indie scene? To list a few: tsubaki (not to be confused with the JPOP artist of the same name), TRIPLANE, GOING UNDER GROUND, WALKABOUT, pigstar. To be honest, Ai is one of the few "mainstream" artists I listen to. Post if you want or have recommendations  . |

indie is 
but I voted for the second option because I don't like everything! but I know tsubaki and they're really good!! 
I don't know if they're indies, but I could recommend STRAIGHTENER, chickenrace and maybe No Regret Life...but I think, all these bands aren't really indies... 
I recommend them nonehteless! 
so, are there any bands which have a similar style to tsubaki? ^-^ |

aobouzu and onsoku line, but they are a lot more mellow (tsubaki is already pretty mellow). STRAIGHTENER, chickenrace and No Regret Life are considered indie, at least to me  I haven't listened to chickenrace before (I'll give it a try), but I'm a big fan of the other two. |

oh yeah, you have to listen to chickenrace! they're so cool! their style is a little...umm beach-like! 
I've uploaded my favourite song! because you just gotta listen to chickenrace - Sunshine Underground
but beware, it's addictive |

I listen to midnightPumpkin, Jinn, Chatmonchy, muramasa☆, SHAKALABBITS, SKULL CANDY, Yum!Yum!ORANGE, 175R, Witchery SKANK, GOLLBETTY, Saitou Kazuyoshi, and D-Snick.
Mostly ska, but still indie.
So yeah, I guess you could say I like indie. |

| I love indies ska too!! SHAKALABBITS has gone more towards a rock style recently though. They kinda left ska. But midnightPumpkin I ADORE and GOLLBETTY SKULL CANDY, Yum!Yum!ORANGE, 175R, ORESKABAND, SKULL CANDY, muramasa☆ I don't like the vocalist. Her voice hurts my ears sometimes. speena is good too!! Hmm...and Shonen Kamikaze=AWESOME. And THE PINK☆PANDA. but only sometimes. The vocalist is like muramasa☆'s. |

@davedim midnightPumpkin is a crazy band they have like actual BAND band members (trombone etc.) and I like their sound
175R (inago riders) don't sound ska to me , but those that like their style would probably enjoy HUSKING BEE, TRICERATOPS, and UNDER THE COUNTER. |

Most ska bands have trombone and stuff.
I've been listening to ska since forever.
I'm more into old stuff like The Skatalites and The Specials than newer stuff but I do like a handful of third wave bands.

175R are actually ska punk, to be precise.
I prefer their more upbeat ska songs than the all-out punk ones.
I especially like their cover of 十七歳の地図. |

davedim, I love most of those too
Indie ska, especially fronted by girls <3
Retro Honpo and TsuShiMaMiRe I like too. (But I don't think TSMMR is ska?)
I like Supercar, a little Tsubaki, a little bit of Number Girl. Metro-Ongen, and Polysics.
I mostly don't pay attention to whether it's indie or not? So second choice for me.
...
old morning musume is actually good. .-. |

@davedim: Yeah I was going to say punk.
Personally I like the alt sound a lot, over ska. |
