Japanese Shoegaze music, mostly. Shoegazer Compilation Album Summer in 2015 which I somehow stumbled upon and it's an incredible collection of music. Asobi Seksu - Citrus, based out of NYC but the same kind of deal.

Somebody recommend me more music like that.

Admittedly, I skimmed through most of the tracks on that bandcamp playlist just to get a feel, but I wonder if you'd like Kashiwa Daisuke. Be warned -- this is a 36 minute piece, and takes a few minutes to wind up, but I find the journey to be well worth it (Taste is of course subjective though). The song alternates between what's best described as fast and slow segments, and incorporates both modern, computer-generated elements and a traditional orchestra.

Hope you enjoy.

Not Japanese, but A Place to Bury Strangers and Autumn's Grey Solace were my favorite of the mid-2000s shoegaze revival Asobi Seksu was part of.
