Jpop: Charan-Po-Rantan (チャラン・ポ・ランタン)

These sisters is ... intensive. Charan-Po-Rantan have a very unique blend of accordion, balkan, french, jewish, gypsy and circus influences that still becomes one unity in the hands of Koharu and Momo. I love it and slightly hate it. It is just like a heavy cake or intensive kitsch - you have to digest it in reasonable amounts... ;-) Read good articles on their background here and here, they make you want to see a movie about their life.
