there was a website where some dude talked about most of the big bands, although it's a little bit dated (doesn't mention much of acid mothers temple) and dude doesn't like the boredoms because they are just a cool name to drop around and sound like you like japanese rock...dude also is in mad love with high rise (who can't?).
i scored a fanzine called exile osaka published in the late 90's about some u.s. dude who went to live in japan and go crazy with all the bands there, it has great coverage, including a scene report from tokyo including a review of one of boris' first shows and some interviews of forgotten bands.
merzbow wrote a book about noise but it's in japanese and no translations have been made.
