Recommend me some good bands from Japan, any genre.

Some bands I've already heard/know: Boris, Gallhammer, Toe, LITE - Lite and Toe are great but a little too pretty and clean for me. Mono, great band but I'm kind of over the post-rock stuff.

There is one band that is in the Concentration Face DVD by Hella, all girl band, I can't remember their name. They're cool. Melt Banana.

OSHIRIPENPENZU
ENDON
Coaltar of the Deepers
Marmalade Butcher
BOREDOMS
Otomo Yoshihide
Korekyojinn
Happy Family
Conti
Ruins / SAX RUINS / RUINS ALONE

Also if you like experimental folk music, Ichiko Aoba and Miyauchi Yuri are phenomenal.
I can give more recommendations if you're into noise or j-pop but otherwise I won't bother listing them all.
I like lite and toe but the music kind of bores me structurally after a while. Still cool bands. MONO are phenomenal live.
Im a total sucker for poppier stuff like tricot, haisuinonasa, chouchou merged syrups, ling tosite sigure etc though.

Acid Mothers Temple and its various offspring.

Edit: Also, Susumu Hirasawa, Pillows and Maximum the Hormone. And maybe 5, 6, 7, 8s?

Everything he's done has been great. Check out flipper's guitar if you're in the mood for something more precious (or GiTS Arise)
