this is my fav Towa Tei song+video, though I haven't heard that many songs by him (guess I gotta go get a Japanese iTunes account or something)

Take Gesu no Kiwami Otome, for example. I recently got into them and am absolutely in love with how they incorporate math-rock rhythms with pop hooks and a vocalist with an almost hiphop-esque style.

I came to this thread to freak out about finding this band only to find out it was in the OP the whole time! Alas, if only I'd read closer. Still, they're really, really good.

Look at this loving video, christ

So here's a real naive question: what's up with the lack of legitimate ways to purchase a lot of this music in the US? What prevents a label like Warner Japan from just throwing some stuff up on US iTunes/Amazon?

I hate that the options for listening to a lot of this music seem to boil down to "import a CD for $60" or "find a Sendspace link on a sketchy Blogspot." At least if more of these bands released vinyl I would feel good about buying physical versions of this stuff.
