And even i am moderately surprised
not really "club" but kind of like a hard underworld :
Boom Boom Satellites - just picked up "Full of Elevating Pleasures" - very nice.
Other than that , Ken Ishi is pretty cool - but this isn't "Club" club either (certainly not like European clubbing).
I guess "Throbbing Disco Cat" compilations and Denki Groove might be worth a try?
Paging Tetsuoxb?

:lol "Cyber talking...Cyber sex is on the line. New desire!" The ID soundtracks are awesome.
that eurobeat stuff would be italian....
Um... Japanese dance music. I only listen to hard dance/techno/some upper house so keep that in mind.
I recommend -
Ken Ishii (I actually have a shirt he designed that I wore during my first club gig)
Takkyu Ishino
Shinichi Osawa (mondo grosso)
I havent gotten a CD of theirs yet, but this Japanese techno group called Ryukyu Disco from Okinawa have enormous buzz on the scene right now.

If you like something more jazzy and downtempo there's Kyoto Jazz Massive, Jazztronik and ermm...some others. There was also not-so-bad compilation called Tokyo Nu-School Of Jazz released recently.
As for DJs, Satoshi Tomiie is kinda popular in Europe, I think progressive is what he's spinning the most.

Here is a cool video of Ryukyudisko from last year's WIRE festival.
They merge original Okinawan vocals with techno. http://www.barks.jp/watch/?id=1000001924

"Unfortunately i haven't heard anything that suggest that the Japanese have done next to nothing of note when it comes to serious Techno / House / Dance."
fixed politely.
There is a lot of good japanese stuff going on at the moment.
Strange as it may seem the REGGAE scene in here is a bit crazy, with lots of old Reggae producers hitting japan. Whilst i'm not a Reggae expert , a few people have mentioned that Japan is the only place left producing true "old school reggae"
Anyways, there are just too many artists in too many musical fields to keep track of - as a result, it's hard to dismiss it all as "next to nothing"
Boom Boom Satellites and Ken Ishii on their own hint that there is greatness out there....

Yoji Biomehanika is a good one, but his stuff is pretty hard and banging, Fantastic Plastic Man (who does big beat sounding stuff, kind of hard to describe), and of course Ken Ishii. Techno is pretty popular in Japan but I couldn't really name very many artists off the top of my head.
