It seems like more and more Australians fall in love with Japan every year.

It’s not hard to see why. The people, the food, the natural beauty and the technological advancements all make it a place like nowhere else.

But they also have a seriously incredible music scene, and it goes way, way, way deeper than J-Pop.

This week on The J Files, we visit Japan and sample just some of the many musical wonders this great country has given us over the years.

Join Gemma Pike for the Big In Japan J Files, Thursday 28 March from 8pm AEDT

A previous version of this program included an image resembling the Rising Sun Flag. The flag has long been in use in Japan and while it continues to be used, it is also inextricably linked to its use by the Imperial Japanese military during World War II and is viewed by many as an offensive symbol. The inclusion of the image was not intended as a reference to Japanese imperialism or to cause offence. The image has been removed and we apologise for any concern caused.
