Who are some good artists for someone new to Japanese music? Girls with guitars would be cool.

Ichiko Aoba if you like hippy shit.
>>15138238
>青葉市子(Ichiko Aoba) - Reflection Eternal [cover "Nujabes"]
She covered nujabes, sick. I love it.
>>15136048
this one has a girl (if you're into grannies) and some guitar-ish instruments.
So I guess it counts

hijokaidan
>>15138376

tricot's new EP is amazing.
Early Akai Ko-en were also really good, although they still have okay songs here and there. Same applies to Kinoko Teikoku.
>>15139027
YUI is Flower Flower now. The songs that the band did for the Little Forest movies were nice.
>>15136048
I mostly listen to idols but Kindan no Tasuketsu is my favourite Japanese band. I think you might like them.

also negoto,that's more alternative than rock tho

Sorry for the hijack. Speaking of Japanese music, how the fuck do you guys purchase digital CDs from J only stores? I've been looking for picrelated and a couple other eurobeat cds for months now and I can't pirate it, what's funny is that I can't even go buyfag on this because there's always something preventing me from paying, such as impossible to understand errors, we no want baka gaijin money, cd not available as digital download, and other such bullshit.

Wow ! I've only listened to that first link so far, but, amazing. Completely original. Not generic at all. Really really good.
>>15141654

Kind of old, but negoto is pretty nice.

https://youtu.be/7s421z0nlIs
Chouchou
https://youtu.be/jW4txpRbDKs
Hijokaidan, Hanatarashi, Merzbow, Masonna, ...
The list is just endless.
I can recommend some female fronted bands, not all of these bands are "Girls With Guitars" however
SCANDAL
Kishida Kyoudan & The Akebshi Rockets
tricot
Uchu Conbini
Yui
Stereopony
Silent Siren
The Winking Owl
Aimer
Shiena Nishizawa
LiSA
Chtmonchy
FLiP
aquarifa
Gacharic Spin
Polka Dot String Ray
Girls Dead Monster
Love Psychedelico
ecosystem
Ling Tosite Sigure
Yousei Teikoku
Kinoko Teikoku
Tokyo Shoegazer
Top 2 bands on this list are my personal favourite so I'd recommend them the most. Hope this helps dude. I'm always on a quest to find new female fronted bands so I'm glad you made this thread
>>15143623
I also wanna add Vivd Undress and Atlantis Airport to that list as well
Chouchou Merged Syrups and 33 Insanity's Vertebra
Any female-fronted bands that aren't quite so poppy?
>>15143933
You can tell she just wants to wear baggy sweatshirts and skateboard.
>>15140566
You need to use a shopping service or a japan forwarding address for some stores.

I think Amazon japan does ship overseas for stuff that's actually sold by amazon and not a third party. It does require creating a separate account from your US Amazon.
Been listening to the new Soutaisei riron. Not so sure about it. I think it might be my least favorite album they made. But the rest of the discography ranges from good to great.
>>15143830
I've been listening to Spangle Call Lilli Line lately. Perhaps my favorite discover this year. This voice really grows on you like listening to a choir of angels.

Even worse than that album that was nothing but godawful remixes of their old songs and some B-sides? I haven't listen to it yet since I'm a piratefag but I find it hard to believe. Though that song they released the music video for was pretty shit so you're probably right
>>15143933
She is actually pretty cute for a real life princess.
>>15143933
She looks tense as fuck.
She was already posted, but I remember when YUI used to run this shit. Haven't heard her new band stuff though. High and mighty color was a favorite too.
Mariko Goto's solo stuff is pretty nice.

Found "meso meso" on spotify after going through several related artist links from dom mino'. Just godly, especially if you enjoy whisper-like vocals.
Only got two (realtively short) albums ought though.
I'd recommend the track "bambi" since it pertains to what you describe in the OP.
385, the girl does vocals and bass as the frontman. Ningen is one of my favourite albums ever. They're really good if you like punk and/or Midori.
Their two ESp are pretty good too, here's a sample:
https://youtu.be/TJl627eI_7E
>>15170491
Ningen was complete watered down shit compared to their debut.
>>15171469
I still think Ningen is a fantastic album, but you're not entirely wrong. They certainly seem to do best as a small time band, but that makes it harder to really go anywhere. Kinda sad but I guess that's just how it is.

Help me /jp/, you're my only hope
I am completely unable to find a semi-popular japanese rap video I watched a long time ago on YouTube
Several young men rapped in it, most of it took place on a beach. It was humorous in nature as far as I could tell. The words "dance hall" were repeated several times in the beginning with something like pic related during.
Who should I check out if I like SCANDALs Shoujo S, Morning Musumes Kashimashi Monogatari and ZONEs Secret Base? I don't know what it is about these songs but they make me really happy. Don't really like their other stuff as much though...
I really like the collaboration of österreich and Kamano Ai. It's fantastic. Kamano has her own project haisuinonasa which is also nice.

y'all seem knowledgeable about asian music
can anyone tell me what instrument this is in the beginning? i simply must learn it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGbFNg-OVw4
to be honest i can't even tell if it's a woodwind or stringed, it's that weird sounding
>>15211992
actually listening to it now it's obviously SOME kind of woodwind
it shows up in other songs too, like maoist cultural revolution ones

She's a good character for this kind of thing because the person doesn't have to reveal that they're actually some 35 year old hag.
