Chinese Rock band called Beyond are immense, although the main artist has been dead for ten or more years, their music is just unmissable.

Jay Chou is very good if you are looking for chinese pop music, and so is Nicholas Tse, Joey Yung, Leo Ku and Eason Chan. If you're looking for something extremely poppy, and you're into the commercial pop music Idol thing, you know being airbrushed and everything, go for the younger "artists" like Twins(personally I hate them but many pple love em) or Alex Fong. I don't listen to much Mandarin but I think Alex Wong Lee Hom is quite a good mandarin artist besides Jay.

FIR are a pretty good band, their music is very alternative, they change their style all the time, actually they don't really have a fixed style.

You mentioned Dir en Grey, I think that's Japanese, if you like them you may like other Jap Bands like Dragon Ash, Do as Infinity, The Pillows (extremely good), The Back Horn and Kung Fu Generation. Porno Grafitti is meant to be a good band as well but I haven't personally heard them. Being 1/5 chinese and 1/5 Japanese, I think these are my persnal recommendations.
