Introducing ~JAPANESE MUSIC!

Yes it is. The band apart showing other JP bands whatta do.

Whoa very cool video. I wish a little more effort was put into creating the song, kind of stagnates after a couple measures. So random seeing him do this as opposed to fighting, ha…

Taipei >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

fucking love the skit before it (that has a female vocalist singing parts of July <33333333333333) shit, i just loooooooveeeee the overall transition into the song. these guys are just too good. they never let me down

Ha yeh Taipei has a massive fucking groove going on. SO COOL. Definitely one of my favs from the album.

Everybody folk dance!

g a m m o n I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t include LAST ALLIANCE on your list. Not sure what sub genre of rock they’re classified under, but they’re definitely one of my favs, which ACIDMAN being my top.

Tons of songs I love from LAST ALLIANCE but I’ll just list a few:

[media=youtube]yxBvnG3CtIc"[/media] My theme song

I actually have several favorites from ACIDMAN, but once again I’ll just list a couple:

One of my favorite ACIDMAN songs, [media=youtube]XJgX0eb_5CY"[/media]
Another fav, [media=youtube]_M_YVXGtikA"[/media]

As for Visual Kei, Kagrra is my pick. Their sound changed somewhat through the years – for the better IMO – up till their disbanding :frowning:

[media=youtube]74LZtE3IVUU]YouTube - Kagrra - ??? [Full PV[/media] I actually haven’t heard this one, haven’t checked on my fav artists recently

Can someone PM me a RAR of their favorite songs? I need to update my iPod and iPhone with some new tunes

Anybody listen to School Food Punishment?

i don’t know if this is already said or not. (still listening to all this good stuff to read, i’m subscribing to this thread). but where’s the Rhymester and scoobie do on this list?

What’s goin on - Scoobie do

So I read the thread more and I guess there’s some hate for SFP? How did they “sellout” and why should it make me not like their music

naw there’s no hate. they just switched their OG style up after getting signed. it’s very different, but still very good stuff. imo i’d tell one to listen to their stuff in order to understand how they’ve progressed from the indie scene to the mainstream. not a bad thing at all as they’ve done it quite well.

it’s just that the style change irked some people, myself included at first. as i gave stuff like futuristic imagination and future nova more and more listens, i was just like “these guys are too good” and just accepted the fact that since they’re a big band now & signed to a big label (Sony), they have to switch it up a little to appeal to mass audiences.

then when amp reflection finally came out i was in love again <3

??? is love~

These guys are pretty cool! I may add them later. ALSO! Jazztronik has a new album out very soon for those interested! It’s called DIG DIG DIG!

O hey whats this thread. Listen to a little japanese music, mostly stuff fom anime like a lot of people, and branched out from there. I saw Makoto, shingo2 and SFP mentioned, nice.

Lack of Rei Harakami and Hiromi is pretty mind blowing though, well, Rei I can understand, his stuff can be pretty hard to come by, and is, I dunno, I guess a somewhat boring sound? hah, I guess I’d classify it as ambient electronica. Crazy good to listen to when you wanna chill. Lust is such a godlike tune.

youtube quality kind of sucks, imo, it’s the kind of music you need to listen to with headphones. Love this man.

Awesome thread though, been looking for some more japanese music, will be sifting through this thread for the next few days. I need to visit General more.

GD is the only place to be, scrub.

there’s this one dj that goes by BUBBLE-B that produces (imo) some good mixing/songs. Every now and then he’ll have an mc that goes by Enjo-G on his tracks. a few of my favs:

This as well as Honnou and Shuraba are my favs

gawd i have always loved that song… ??? has my heart for eternity :lovin:

Would Yui count or is she from another location?

Hah, I was checking out Soil&Pimp, did not know they did the opening for Michiko to Hatchin, makes sense.

if anyone is going to be over there in september, this will be an amazing festival:
??? 7th ANNIVERSARY
