<Snipped quote by SleepingSilence>
While I agree that flow and lyrics are an integral part of rap music in any language, not being a speaker of Japanese just means that I listen more to the beats of any given J-Rap song. Reading translated J-Rap lyrics (or really any J-pop song) would just be weird because reading out the translations in English wouldn't help a non speaker understand the flow or rhymes or anything of the sort. 

That said, [url=https://soundcloud.com/dekishi/dekishi-kataban-model-number]Dekishi[/url] has great flow and [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q8jNvVeGcY]frequently collabs[/url].

For the first link, I do really wish I was able to understand that/or had a general idea of what they were saying because I probably would of liked it a whole lot more. Though I enjoyed it overall. It's also funny that I've probably found some better rappers on soundcloud than what you'd find in the mainstream. For the second, I just hope and pray that somewhere that is someone's real album cover.

There's also artists like [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MQ0iD9kAzM]Dabo[/url], [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmVYM94HD9Y]DJ Ken Kaneko[/url], [url=https://youtu.be/3h2KYIIrMRE]SALU[/url], [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcNl6BJDLkg]SKY-HI[/url] and [url=https://youtu.be/gQSEhHAF6W4]COLEMAN OUTDOOR RESORT MOVIE[/url].

Even if you're not a fan of lyrics there are artists in the J-Rap world that still put out some great beats that sound good no matter if you understand it or not!

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcNl6BJDLkg]SKY-HI[/url] <-- Enjoyed this one. And yeah, I'm usually the same for things like J-Rock. Or when I listen to half the metal I do, which doesn't speak the same language, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46XNTKfw6lc]Sabaton[/url], [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msRy4vcSX4k]ELUVEITIE[/url], [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb5SNLWSEBc]Korpikanni[/url]. Things of that nature. Maybe its because I prefer rock/metal instruments. So those alone can make the song interesting for me, I've never exactly been a fan of ambient and chill rap music, even in English. Rap is usually best when it pulse pounding and fast as hell. For me.

Well if it's weird you're after might I also suggest [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpLgEQig1AE]Wednesday Campanella[/url] or even [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPW6pBJipqA]DOTAMA[/url]

Eh, first one isn't so weird. I find the music video more unique than anything. When I think of glorious Japan weridness [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA6UYTbOEMQ]this is what comes to mind.[/url]
Second one almost had me. There's been plenty of songs you posted that I'd understand the appeal of. But I really do think the language barrier is stopping a lot of them for me. Eh, Everyone's a critic. xP

Also I really like Charisma.com because Gonchi and Itsuka are just office ladies with things to say about Japan. They're also kinda weird awesome and embrace the low effort production value. For example their most recent music video? [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQ52EOoSdrI]It's just them walking around Japan with a selfie stick and an iPad playing the song so they can know their cues.[/url] But what makes it even weirder is that they have [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTFYaFY1AAk]Not one[/url], [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVIqqJdkpVw]not two[/url], [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHDzpqIeJVE]but three[/url] different versions of the same concept. And then just because they're like that, they also put up [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iq0ebrLu0M4]a fourth version[/url]

Charisma.com is great

LOL. Well I liked that song too. Maybe not enough to listen to it 5 times in a row. That's is a little overkill. XP

Also I know it's about J-Rap but dammit I'm using this chance to plug the hell out of K-Rap artist Cheetah. 

[url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyCfwq1SYEs]Cheetah is damn amazing.[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YolhdDGQ8pg]Just the best and everyone knows it.[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIQFLWDHfwk]Even on guest track she kills it.[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7UTKmMtdQk]She can sing too because she's perfect in every way.[/url] [url=https://youtu.be/HbJNWn8Jo9Q?t=2m44s]She is the queen.[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df16JXLmOa8]She is your mother.[/url] [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5CZDfS_odw]Bow down[/url].
