It hurts to live.

>>764485

This is actually good, pretty heavy. Didn't know japanese did metal.

>That's pretty slick, gonna have to investigate more

It's math rock. Japanese does best math rock. None of pretentious american trash.

>Fellow man of culture.png

Thought I was the only one who knew Kitajima. You have great taste, sir.

>>764498

>metal

Better yet, it sounds more like punk rock than metal.

>>764486

Very nice, and the guitarist is handsome. Thanks for sharing.

That ain't metal. This is metal.

>>764504

Oh man, I just remembered I downloaded this album and never listened to it. Thanks!

>>764450

>Japanese music

Shamefur dispray to be honest.

>>764610

I have never heard a Japanese pronouncing the L like that. I think you've mistaken them for the Chinese.

Possibly my favorite Nip band, YMO. Every album is a gem.

>>764687

That track is really good, I'd definitely be interested in downloading his discography if uploading it isn't too bothersome.

>>764504

This is what Flan was singing when she wanted to kill herself in that doujin the creater of Shoujo Shuumatsu made.

>>764730

Try downloading it anyways, some old indexed torrents will show 0 seeders although sometimes that's not true.

>>764731

>>764693

Bare with me guys, Mediafire is not fucking cooperating right now. And if I don't figure this out tonight I think my internet is getting cut off until monday because I forgot to pay it.

>>764730

I don't see the album with that one on it, 楽しいね

Though, I see a few others.

Bear with it for a minute if you don't like old wooden nip noises.

Get funky, fuckers.

To the people who were somehow having trouble finding the Shinsei Kamattechan album:

https://mega.nz/#!NLAFFLLT!QuHHtuTG1ZwURHvRbcHU_FHBPq47o5YZQ1JtYuR1KAc

My recommendation is to download all their demo tracks and their first three records, and then pretend they all died in a car crash on the 23rd of December, 2010.

>>764748

Works like a charm, thanks you very much.

>>764556

I love this more than the animu version.

>>764796

Mariya Takeuchi is really relaxing.

>>764810

80's idols each had their own image and often they were more individual acts that completely revolved around that character, which is supposed to be their inner selves.

This was Jun Togawa. She was an interesting one.

>>764815

>more individual acts

I meant to add "as opposed to the group-based dynamic we see a lot more of nowadays".

>>764796

I wish the egregiously 80's music video of this is still up, but the live version is good too.

this was one of Highschool Kimengumi ending themes

>>764815

>>764816

I'm surprised I've never heard her before. Thanks for the introduction.

>>764822

Mein nakama.

Shizuka Kudo was always one of my favorite idols.

>>764818

What idol?

>>764827

Oops, meant to post this Wink.

That one's good, too, tough.

>>764827

REBECCA

>>764813

Citypop is relaxing in general.

>>764821

Remember to watch her live performances.

Idoru are something you can't fully appreciate without them on stage. Jun Togawa especially.

>>764557

>>764485

I love me some Boris.

>>764840

Why would you make the image that big? Scale it down.

Missing the album "Very" but it's on soulseek.

>>764833

Unless, of course, you're Anri. Then it's just lots of fun.

You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this thread.

>>764855

You and I both, /mu/fag.

>>764859

I like this.

>>764865

These guys went on to do the OP for Cromartie High School.

>>764793

I had just listened to Casiopeda a few weeks ago, the first album. Listened to it several times. Gonna give the rest of their discography a try.

I believe their most popular album is Fetch, but I like their earlier stuff best. I still like pretty much everything they made.

>>764848

I'm actually incredibly glad I found her in this thread. Her voice is fucking magical.

>>764859

>>764860

You guys are posting faster than I can upload.

https://mega.nz/#F!h7wQwbLQ!kahQCN2yFYbisXahH9wGpg

I really really like this album.

Very overlooked death metal band.

Also this gem.

I'm not going to spam the thread with metal, so this is the last one I'm posting.

This is the band that Matsubara, from Gridlink, was in. And also the band that made Chang call him to form Gridlink in the first place.

Demetori's collab with UI-70 produced some of their most powerful music I think.

>>764887

>Amazing stuff! It reminds me of this album: haruomi hosono, shigeru suzuki, tatsuro yamashita - pacific (1978, 2013, gt music-japan)

That's because Haruomi Hosono produced and played the drums in the Kubota album. I'm also quite fond of his early work on Happy End and Its precursor, Apryl Fool.

>>764877

Metal is good stuff, anon.

Though I prefer the non death metal older stuff.

>>764898

It's crazy to think about how accomplished all three members of YMO are. They were active before YMO and long after (still to this day if I'm not mistaken). All three are music masters.

>>764908

They were smart enough to take notice of what was happening in the rest of the world and exploit niches which mainstream Japanese music had left untapped for years. They were quite proactive, I'll give them that.

>>764905

Ya dig Show-Ya?

>>764920

Ctrl+F lamp

>>764923

My bad, searched for the album instead.

I know this gets posted every time, but it's damn profound.

Which is funny because this profound feeling is exactly what the song is talking about, and how it'll never change anything. This should have been the OP for Welcome to the NHK.

Instead it'll be the theme for my life.

>>764931

Hah. Just posted it.

>>764932

Isn't melt-banana technically from California?

Here is something that sounds a bit like surf rock, though I know it is a different genre.

This is obviously the best one.

>>764934

Why would you think that? They're from Japan, just google it.

>>764944

For some reason, I thought Yasuko Onuki was from California.

>>764951

Yes. "Own". Yes.

Does anyone have the .webms of that acoustic band wearing animal masks? I forgot to save them

>>764872

Kishidan is super cool.

>GUST sound team

I've sat here and listened to music all day.

Thanks, /a/. It was fun sharing tunes with you.

>>764612

Well, maybe they have their own version, like samurai metal or something.

>>764997

I hoped you enjoyed yourself anon. This was a good thread, also /a/ has basically become neo-/jp/ since regular /jp/ has gone to shit though I am glad we don't constantly have threads like this otherwise it would lose it's charm.

>>765019

/Jp/ content is allowed and always has been.

>>765006

I found this "samurai metal" in pic related, but I swear almost everything "metal" the Japs do aside from the "classic" stuff like >>764556 just sounds like punk rock or some kind of grindcore to me. But the song linked actually does sound like Japs playing viking metal.

Really love this album

>>764912

Never heard of them before. Thanks, anon. They're more like what Bow Wow turned into when they became Vow Wow.

>>765019

>I hoped you enjoyed yourself anon.

I certainly did. I hope I don't do the same thing again because I've got some animu to watch now that the weekend shows are coming out, but it's just so much fun to share music with you all.

This Idoru ended up voicing the imouto Miyuki from Miyuki. It fits her character so well.

You guys can have this too.

Lets get the obvious ones out of the way.

>>764549

Viking metal isn't a real genre. It is called folk metal.

>ctrl-f

>REOL

>0 matches

Colour me surprised.

REOL is pretty gud, and they do publish most of their stuff on YT, so there is that. Not sure if it counts as nip music though, since some of their songs are engrish, and some are a mix.

>>766078

Some of it is like a mix of Pink/Lady Gaga with some nice techno, while there are also some that lean more on the techno side than anything else.

>>766106

I don't really like it

>>766106

Please do

>>766111

Please elaborate.

To me the electronic elements coupled with the sometimes aggressive and sometimes cheerful vocals are a perfect match. The fact that most of it is nip also means that I don't have to give a shit about the lyrics and can enjoy the vocals as what they are.

>>766106

Last time I heard, they broke up. It's a real shame but I'm hoping at least Reol herself goes on to do more stuff.

>>766158

>>766116

It's up to personnal taste i think, i don't really like electronic sounds and it sounds too much like vocaloid. I wouldn't mind listening to some on the r/a/dio or something like that but i'll never put it on my mp3

>>766177

>Not REOL but real chill. That's right, it's a surprise track faggot

I'm not even mad, this is nice.

>>766158

>>766177

Thanks, Anon. I had listened to the No Title- album before, but only liked a few songs. And outright hated a few too. The male vocals were shit. So I never looked any further into them. This is really good though.

The bass line in this one tickles me good.

Tatsuro Yamashita is always great to listen to

Thank you good man for reminding me to re-watch Liveman, actually, I have a ton of old-school toku that I've not finished yet

I recently discovered Hiroki Kikuta. He's the composer for many famous RPG's such as Secret of Mana. He released this album that is full of prog chiptune tracks several years ago. I recommend 25:14.

Here, take a top song from a top album.

What is your favorite ambient anime Jazz music?

No mention of Eden Radio so far? That's impressive in a bad way.

Planet earth is blue, and there is nothing I can do about your faggotry. edenofthewest.com

Embed related, no Japanese lyrics, but the original is from an anime. The vocals are really relaxing and the whole thing just calms you down so much.

>>766177

>speaking english on japanese music

Into the trash it goes.

i remember this from a time MTV was divided by regions and there was a show that played worldmusic

>>766762

>>768848

It's not that hard but there's a huge gap on understanding what they're saying there and what they're saying in anime. They talk much faster. I wonder how it is to talk to a Japanese person face to face, they must eat a lot of words.

The bigger they got the worse they became.

It's a shame the older videos of them when they were in High School doing K-On! covers and playing their heart into this song are no longer on Youtube.

Even if their skills were less polished, it sounded better because of how nervous they were. Jumping around full of energy isn't right for this song, which is about coming out of your shell and doing reckless young things. When they were reserved on stage, it felt more real. I think they even played faster and harder then, too.

Watching any current year concerts of them or listening to their studio albums are dreadful.

The best Jojo opening.

Does it count as Japanese if it was written and performed by Japanese people for a Japanese anime, even if it's entirely in English?

Yoooooooooo!

>>768832

>>767281

These are good. Thanks for posting them anons.

>>768835

Honestly consider killing yourself, you pleb shit-taste faggot.

I won't let this thread die.

>>768911

I'd say so since English lyrics are pretty a recurrent gimmick in all types of post war Japanese popular music.

I don't think too many people here watched Zaregoto (I only remember 1 thread about it while it was airing), but it had the best ED of the year in my opinion.

I love this type of music.

Well, I thoroughly enjoyed listening through this thread

>>769240

>>769210

Not just Japanese popular music.

English lyrics have spread across the globe, and I have no clue why. Especially in English dominated genres, such as rock, jazz, and rap/reggae.

The only country that I know of where music is generally kept in the local language most of the time is France, but French law requires it's radio stations to play only a certain percent in foreign languages (Toubon Law), which means that most music the French hear on the radio (which, believe it or not, is still the main source for music all across Europe for public broadcasting of music) will be predominantly French.

I have no real clue why, but it is rather strange to flip through the radio stations and only hear English songs with some of the local language in between.

This is the law in question: https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT000000349929&dateTexte=&categorieLien=id

I'm tempted on using my REDACTED good boy points to get some of her stuff because Soulseek is lacking at this moment.

>>767156

>桃箱

Just looked into her songs. She just denpafies and mixes together existing songs, some of which was posted in this thread.

I don't care much for her, honestly.

Have something nice.

i cannot find the full song

(i know its "Run Away" by Mineo Maya)

>>769572

If it were prog rock I'd give it a chance. Is it classical music?

>>769584

Forget it. Also, if you guys like music, I recommend applying to animebytes. There's tons of japanese music there.

>>769258

Sweet jesus anon; I knew that was going to be a great album after listening to a couple of tracks but I didn't really understand what you were saying until just now, once I finished it.

This has got to be one of the most excellent albums I've ever heard. The kind that only gets more and more amazing the more you listen to it. Definitely going to check out the rest of this guy's work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yann_Tomita

Applications have been open the whole week. The system automatically closes the applications when it hits the limit of pending applications.

Sometimes the invite doesn't get sent to your email, though, so you'll have to go to the IRC.

Are Chiptunes OK too?

I didn't even know the Maria Holic ED was a cover until now.

Happy to help.

>>771075

Actually, the whole album is nice to listen to. On the other hand I'm surprised that nobody posted any of Yuki Kajiura's compositions yet. Isn't she someone rather famous among anime fans, like Yoko Kanno (don't start about her songs being rip-offs, please)? Or is she considered to be a sign of bad taste or something?

>>764450

Jesus, they're so good. I want to listen to this while walking aimlessly around Tokyo at night.

>>771023

But doesn't it make more sense to just upload the one song to something like mixtape.moe and post the link, rather than making me download one, single song just to see if I like it? Don't do that.

Definitely good to know for r/a/dio threads, however.

>>770463

Super.

>>768856

I imagine that is how it is with most languages, since for TV you are reading a script, so you have to make sure you don't mess it up. But in real life you already know what you are saying so there isn't as much pressure since you won't have to repeat the line over again until you get it right.

Also, Blue Hearts are pretty fuckin' neat anon.
