Introducing: Bands That Charted This Month...That You've Never Heard Of

I am relatively new to this blog, but, I believe it would be fair to say I have posted about some bands that people were surprised to see or had never heard of. So, I plan on posting with some-type of regularity, a compilation of bands and songs that are at the vanguard of J-Rock and Visual-Kei that most people have never heard of.
[01.] BUMP OF CHICKEN : KARMA
A band that began in 1994 in Chiba Prefecture, ever since their third single, they have, without fail, charted in the Oricon Top Ten with every release.

[02.] The Ricecookers : NAMInoYUKUSAKI
The Ricecookers are an oddball. Formed by three Japanese and one Mexican music students in Boston, they played underground gigs for a while, even at the historic Irish Bar. Last year, they played at the Japanese Day celebration in Central Park, and they are headquartered in New York. They frequently tour Japan, and just two weeks ago placed thirty on the Japanese charts. They now provide this song, to the Japanese station TBS for the drama, "SPEC".

[03.] RADWIMPS : DADA

A band that has a dress style as unique as their music: RADWIMPS. Having charted #1 on the charts before, they have done it again with their new single and its simplistic yet, enduring video.
