Hmm, I find myself listening to a lot of U2 and Tears for Fears...what growing up in the 80's does to you.
On the gaming front...probably Shadow of the Colossus, although I haven't really been listening to gaming tracks in awhile.
Jpop front...let's see..several Maaya Sakamoto songs, practically all of them are wonderful.
Rie Fu - Her self titled "Who is Rie Fu" album is solid. "Life is Like a Boat" is one of her best.
Chaba - I absolutely love this trio of musicians. They go against the norm in terms of pop. "Parade" is what put them on the map.

I've heard of them, the "Life is Like a Boat" song especially. For JPop bands/people the ones I really like are: Asian Kung-Fu Generation Gact La'Arc-en-Ciel Porno Graffite (I just love the name) TM Revolution
Wading Venus, by Omid, feat. Nobody, off RJD2's awesome mix album, Constant Elevation: The Say Word Mix. Pretty old, 2002, but RJD2 is RJD2, regardless. You guys into his stuff?
Murs--And This is For, from his album, Murs 3:16, the 9th Edition. Try and find this song on the interweb, it's totally different from most of the (trashy, vacuous) hip-hop they always play on the radio. It's not about being that gangsta-killa-honeydip-pimpin' sociopath that you always hear about in rap songs... give it a try and listen to the lyrics! Here's a taste.
Damn, times done changed, these thugs do what they like Some of them be your friends to try to find a new 'wife' And still hit the block and sling rocks at night But you could be dead-wrong with your pockets right.
Contrary to what the legendary B.I.G. had to say You don't have to sell drugs or make the NBA It's easy to get a grant and get a M.B.A. To achieve one goal there's more than one way Young people, on a whole, we have lost our way I don't care what it cost, I'm not impressed, my **** That throw-back jersey is a dress, my **** I remember diamonds used to be a girl's best friend.
Enslaving black children with those third-world gems; I don't care about your rims; Kids rock big-wheels, Up until they learn balance, And it's obvious you haven't, With way more ego than you have true talent. And this is for...
