Every now and then I'll sit back take a trip though my collection of Japanese music videos, either in my own collection or on YouTube. At least, what is left on YouTube. It would seem that more and more great material is being cut from the site every day. It's no doubt being replaced by crying attention whores and zany animal hijinks as we speak.

I though it was time to grab on to as much of what remains as possible and throw it back out to you, our faithful and no doubt good looking readers. Instead of spreading it out over weeks or months, I felt it best to jam in as much as possible, because you never know how long these will last. We have to take it while we can. So, instead of an average every day top 10 (or the more often oh-so-clever 11, or the totally oh-so-hip 13), here are 30 essential Japanese music videos. Some are funny. Some are sad. Some are innovative. Some are just plain amazing.

They are all rare, wonderful and essential viewing.

You can check out a few below. SEE THEM ALL AT JAPANATOR.
