Two new additions to the list:
http://www.bww2.com - Miscellaneous collection of Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Malay, Hindi and Viet music. Good for popular artists.
http://jrock-utilidades.blogspot.com/ - Many Jrock songs and indies bands. I think this site is in Spanish.
http://www.jpopii.com/ - Recently has stopped all updates and somehow has moved to the forum which for some reason I cannot access. Dunno why. It’s in Japanese with almost all of the Japanese releases are posted. Before you could only download if you had an account. Now that it’s moved to an unaccessible forum, you are welcome to download anything that hasn’t been expired. So far the only links that hasn’t been expired would be the MegaUpload links. Though most of them have MU links so it should still be fine. Knowledge of some kana and kanji would be helpful navigate the website.
http://hotakky.livejournal.com/ - Nice PV’s, singles and lots of stuff about Johnny’s Entertainment. Courtesy of Pei.
http://mp3.baidu.com/ - Good place to get Chinese songs. Though the servers that you download off of are slower than my internet speed.
http://beyondthesea.wordpress.com/ - A wordpress blog that reviews some well known Japanese artists with good language and stellar dedication. Most often, not all of the tracks of the singles will be linked, but probably all the links of the albums will be posted. Edit: Only the songs the webmaster likes are posted.
http://community.livejournal.com/un_myung - A livejournal community which uploads anything, mainly Korean music though. Really good site if you’re into Kpop.
http://www.hongfire.com/forum/showthread.php?t=52835 - A topic at hongfire.com. A huge list of Korean albums.
http://jpmp3.com/ - The ultimate of all ultimate, even more ultimate than Jpopii. Collection of download links include Western movies, TV shows, music to Japanese singles, albums, dramas and even Jpop wallpapers and H-rated material. Good site, though hard to get to the content sometimes because of the the weird split file program and weird passwording system. This site is mostly in Japanese, though there are also random English speakers.
When all else fails.. BitTorrent.
http://tracker.minglong.org:8080/ - BitTorrent tracker at minglong.nu. Good listing mixed with OSTs, Fansubbed Anime, and Jpop. Though you’ll only find the most well-known and popular artists. If you are looking for obscure, try to get into the forum at www.jpopii.com.
When that fails… Google.
