Piana! That's it! I got one of her albums, deleted it I guess when I was cleaning out my hdd, and I've been trying to remember the name for a while.

I'll definitely check this stuff out since I need more music.

Lullatone and shugo tokumaru are awesome (though the latter is definitely not electronica)

Google"japshare" on wordpress for more cool, alternative japanese music

I think Japanese electronic music is pretty well known—for those who like electronic music. Those who aren't electronic music fans, if introduced, would probably like it because it's good, rather than "Japanese." ;p

This group was good for two albums, until they broke up sadly

GIRLS TAPE STORE

Free song

Surprised no one's mentioned World's End Girlfriend yet. I've seen them a couple times in Shibuya. Amazing stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtNntFUcar0

More trance/progressive trance-ish stuff, as opposed to glitch/ambient, but there's Hiroyuki ODA's "Thirty" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgC8iL3w1PM (a crossfade) -- full tracks are around and the album is actually available via amazon.com/itunes.

I've gotten people I know who hate vocaloid to listen to his one vocaloid album as well, and they liked it, example:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2oqXtciNkE -- same style, just 'vocal'.

Also Onoken -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1Q_QHp6j1o

(Also, Kashiwa Daisuke is amazing, yes)

jettyke, seeing you're from Estonia, I wondered if you were familiar with Pia Fraus.

Experimental, strange? but very good, classical instruments like violins and piano are being used.
