Suggestions for Upbeat Japanese Funk/Jazz/Rap/HipHop (Bboy music)

I'm filming a Bboy (break dance) video and need tons of music for it! I'm looking for upbeat Japanese Funk/HipHop/Jazz/Rap music, suitable for dancing, and breakdancing! For example

Okay...currently I'm addicted to Durarara's Ending 1 song : Trust Me by Yuya Matsushita. It's very upbeat and catchy.
Hope it helps!

These are all from Japanese games and anime. I'll try to think of more later.

I suggest you check out some songs by Japanese groups like FLOW or Home Made Kazoku. The latter is especially good for upbeat songs since their genre is a mix of R&B and Jazz. Hope this help. ;)

Just some artists/tunes out of the funk/jazz/r&b corner that popped into my mind in no particular order. The music of all of them should be quite danceable.

Samurai Champloo music ftw!

I know I'm way late to this thread, but I just wanted to toss out what I have for anyone who may have this issue in the future. If you're looking for anime music to bboy/breakdance to, by all means check out my mixes! You can check out more of what I have, and download this mixtape on my soundcloud. Hope this helps!
