Does anyone know of any female vocalists similar to Ringo Sheena, Mariko Goto and/or Seiko Oomori?

youtu.be/aW7-eQ0RvQk

youtu.be/pYc-Peq5fGc

cruyff in the bedroom and tokyo shoegazer

keiji haino and kan mikami should make more albums together

Jun Togawa of course

If this album was all like that song where she yells a bit, it'd be amazing

Does anyone know where I can get this/does anyone have a mega of it? Right now I'm listening to the not-live version of it

Yeah I gotta check out both her and YUKI.

Japan seems to have a pretty huge shoegaze scene

I've heard that's not actually the case. And that at the second biggest shoegaze gig of the year there were only about 50 people.

rec me some japanese indie pop pls

I guess it's like stoner rock where it gets mass produced but no one really gives a shit except for a select few artists.

one of the best US 90s Indie bands
youtube.com/watch?v=WUYACnZNkvM

jun togawa is my goddess

Anyone got anymore japnoise albums to listen to?

holy shit why had I not listened to them before

great stuff!
definetly worth listening
youtube.com/watch?v=0UYjtgv4IdU

youtube.com/watch?v=LkZ2z1QIwro
Found it through that one AFX track and was in lover eversince

tooke me also quite long to find them, instantly liked them, aggressive telecasters and jazzmasters never sounded so good

What is Sibuya-Kei?

Can anyone recommend some good 80's city pop like After 5 Clash?

Are the rest of the Pillows albums any good apart from what features on FLCL soundtrack?

Look it up.

Probably my favourite Japanese album, and my favourite Japanese band. I like Cornelius, but I prefer his previous work much more.

What's the best YMO solo album? I'm putting my vote towards pic related.

>mikgazer
my nigga

I heard recently or read somewhere that this was getting a vinyl repress. Can anyone confirm? Need this in my collection

A classic
youtube.com/watch?v=Nxwt_s1lM04

>pop punk
you fucking faggot

more jazz?
youtube.com/watch?v=AIRFrQCM8M8

You ain't seen shit of Togawa "absolute madwoman" Jun yet.
youtube.com/watch?v=Fv8QJRrhQpU

pop music from Shibuya, duh.

BLANKEY.JET.CITY
youtube.com/watch?v=-pllsbIN_H8

Either this or the fuckin Hosono album with the weird drawing on it. It is BETTer than Hosono House and no one can convince me otherwise.

Hey lads, been enjoying the classic Fishmans meme, which led me to YYTeiko and then to Shintaro Sakamoto himself, who I've gone in deep on. Where to go from here?

youtube.com/watch?v=Ho2LTuQBEV8

I think its fair to say that they are not quite as good or influential as Eno, Bowie, The Beatles, King Crimson and VU but they are great. People say that YMO is the poor's man Kraftwerk but these same people have likely not listened to anything other than Solid State Survivor. People will also be afraid ot saying they are at this high level and day thdy are overrated but the truth is plain and simple, YMO, Sakamoto and Hosono are both worldwide level and their music influence was all over the globe. And this is why even in a list with Kraftwerk, MJ, Pink Floyd and others they will come out clean on top. Haters gonna hate

Can someone recommend me similar musician like pic related beside The Avalanches?? Its so damn comfy and makes me extremely happy everytime i listen to it..

I think the studio version of Long Season is better desupai

Cornelius - Fantasma

I don't think making a list of music by country is accurate, because a country isn't a music style. But I think this one is useful to give people an alternative chart

Pic related. 1/3

Japan is a country not a genre you retard. Quit making this fucking thread.

Its pretty entry level

2/3

That looks like a nice list, but do you have titles? I mean one of the album covers is all black

Thanks user

And 3/3

I think this answers OP. Again it's just an entry level guide. Peace

>Live at 1st Year of Heisei Vol. 1
>Album by Kan Mikami, Keiji Haino, and Motoharu Yoshizawa.

I don't know where he got that picture of the cover. On mine you can clearly make out the characters 不失者

dude, I fucking love ex-girl

every day, I wonder why Cred Forums isn't fawning over ex-girl the way they like doopees or shinseikamattechan

Can anyone recommend any "denpa" that isn't actually denpa?

Pic related

youtube.com/watch?v=3hYJRPcPjpI

...

that's absolutely not denpa

does the Midori vocalist even play the guitar?

you guys have probably heard this already but

youtube.com/watch?v=TJl627eI_7E
This is GOAT

I heard that they're seriously one of my favorite bands in general
they're so consistently great

This thread made me think of Sugar Plant. Hadn't listened to them in ages, thanks for reminding me. Really nice dream pop.

youtu.be/c80G5BS9EpY

Google is where I found it and it's better than the non live version

ok niggas here we go

I recently got a jpopsuki account and this is what I'm liking so far, recommend anything like the following pls:

Soutasei Riron
Daoko
Asian Kung-Fu Generation
Norikyo
Salu
Rookiez is Punk'd

this is muh jam lately:

Where i can find album with this song?

This is super dope. Thanks user. Do you have a link for this album?

you could try jpopsuki or soulseek
desu I've only heard that song and one of her older releases

Thank you.

I got it from itunes :D

As someone who worships Yura Yura Teikoku, the album "Remix 2005 - 2008" has some *great* stuff on it. The take on Nantonaku Yume wo is insane. It's a hard album to find though...!

I've been listening to Sakanaction a lot lately. I like the way they blend electropop and alternative rock so well. I haven't really found anything else like it in Japanese music or Western music.

I've been binging on Boredoms' lately.

Pop Tatari>=Wow 2>Vision Creation Newsun Boadrum>Super Roots 5>Super Roots 7>=Super Roots 3>=Seadrum/House Of Sun>Super ar>Super Roots>Super Roots 2

Bordoms and hanatarash

other than Mass Fermenting Dregs, the only artist from Japan i've listen to is this one youtu.be/NLy4cvRx7Vc
I've been listening to her all day

This an pulse demon are the biggest noise memes ever.

This has got to be my favorite jap song

youtube.com/watch?v=pNVEbleRdgA

this a damn fine tune, tnx user

What's the Decryption key?

>has Mono
>but no Envy
besides that, decent chart

youtube.com/watch?v=g6nXzbvT0Oo

Fuck the pillows are great

yo im so fuckin PUmped for the new frederic album in october aaaauuugh

holy kek, why is she so based

love tujiko, check out her collab with Aoki Takamasa "28"

Been listening to some Uchu Conbini lately.
I think I prefer Feel the Dyeing Note to Looking at the Moon's Reflection, but I'll probably need to listen to them both again before making any definite conclusions.

youtube.com/watch?v=FL-ixFZwzQU

why this band doesnt get attention is beyond me

have fun buddy

I need a link for this one, it seems to be lost at the moment for some reason

I like it, but I feel like they're encroaching on what Midori already did years ago

What does /japanese/ think of the Ging Nang Boyz?

I love Naughty Boys

Yes, i love Kimi ni mune kyun.

Sue me

Anything similar two these two tracks. Why kinoku teikoku's other song sound somewhat similar, the rest of straightner's songs don't really capture the feel that that this one does.

is shinichi osawa any good?

Any opinions on the novembers?

I've still not been able to find this album.

If I wanted to get into Midori, where should I start? The one with the naked anime babe on the cover, right?

Could you please up your copy on MEGA? I'd forever be indebted to your favor.

Lamp - Yume
Really liked it

Why do people care about Japanese music? Sure there are some good artists from Japan, but only Japanese traditional music and court music is only really specifically very japanese (but sounds pretty similar to the traditional/court music of elsewhere in the orient). Bands mentioned ITT are basically just playing western musical styles while being Japanese, an attribute that adds nothing in itself to music. I can only assume this obsession with what would be otherwise mediocre rock and jazz music is because this board is filled with weeaboos.

I'll bite, I'm up at 2am. Please find me a western album exactly like Vision Creation Newsun. Please find me a western song exactly like Cory & The Mandara Suicide Pyramid Action Or Gas Satori.

Why do you make unreasonable requests? Of course I'm not going to find something *exactly* like any song. But I think the point I was trying to make was people listen to lots of mediocre music like Tokyo Shoegazer and Ryo Fukui because it's Japanese. I wouldn't count Boredoms as in that group of mediocre music, they are pretty good and would be popular here if they didn't come from Japan. Of course Boredoms' influences are in western music: Faust, Neu!, Cluster, Frank Zappa, Can, Helios Creed, Butthole Surfers, Dinosaur Jr, and others.

>Why do you make unreasonable requests? Of course I'm not going to find something *exactly* like any song

That's why I care about certain japanese music besides Boredoms. We're done I think.

you sound pretty cranky, you should probably go to bed now.

>because it's Japanese
But that's not why I listen. I just happen to find a band that sings in another language. It happens to be Japanese. It's all coincidence.

>I don't listen to Thai, Greek, Italian, Laotian, Korean, Mexican, the list goes on and on... music
>literally all the music I listen to is Japanese at a probability of (japanese population/world population)^(number of artists in my library)

>I don't listen to Thai, Greek, Italian, Laotian, Korean, Mexican, the list goes on and on... music
pleb.

Not him, but I found it in on of the archives;

>watched one of their last shows right before they disbanded
I was lucky

Oh yeah, any news on the LITE and Mouse on the Keys split EP?

Pretty excited for their new album.

wtf guise? half the link in this threads feel like rick rolls

how can a whole country be so devoid of talent?

you typed it wrong

F!AMlGgJ4T!umEJ-rVf85aAIcIidhQSlA

>tfw only japanese releases I've listened to this year are utaites

It's in the archive, under the english name: tamate hatsumi - cell

Winding down my listen of Chocolate Synthesizer. Why is this album so loved? It's a weaker version of the things Pop Tatari accomplished.

youtube.com/watch?v=ntGH1RKaaUo
one of the best live sets i've seen

Anybody want to tell me about some cool Japanese rock, metal, or vaporwave ish stuff from the 80s?

>tfw especia loses its vaporwave + idol aesthetic for chill electro-pop
I know I'm late about this, but I'm torn about how I should feel. I loved their old stuff, but this is good too.

Got me into math rock

jap music is good but i couldn't call it essential 2bh, outside of bands like ymo and boredoms

can't believe these guys weren't posted yet

or how about this?
youtube.com/watch?v=5w0E6y01OuQ

why so assblasted

nobody asked what you consider essential

babymetal

XD

Sadly, Babymetal is better than half of the bands mentioned in this thread lol

>implying Dir en grey isn't pleb
Everyone that has ever got into japanese music has at least heard of them you dip. Their last single sucked anyway.

Me too. I think they consistently make good stuff. I hope they are able to do a world tour sometime.

The chorus was still pretty great though, but yeah, weaker than anything on the last album, last album was 10/10 though

not true btw, Cred Forumsfags only listen to shoegaze

I agree the chorus was good, but it wasn't enough to carry the rest of that mess of a song. I agree about the last album being 10/10. I personally think it's their best.
I guess I was wrong then, but I known13 year old girls that have even heard Dir en grey.

>I personally think it's their best.
Not even sure about that, their last 3 albums have been honestly amazing

They have a tendency to release the weakest tracks as singles for some reason

Just different demographics, most certainly because of their vk stage but they had made some really weird choices throughout their career that are unheard of in other bands, I think they reach a very wide audience because of that

upboated

why even listen to other music when you can listen to Tousei on repeat for the rest of your life

I like Uzi ni Naru better desu

Anyone know where I could find some Jun togawa shit?

Can someone help me out and list out the titles of these. I've listened to most of these but I wanna check out the others

then check out Linda Linda Linda, the movie, for the comfiest nipkino
