So you want bad music beloved by 16 year old hipsters?
I'll do you one better and give you some actually good Japanese artists.
Starting with Number Girl. Seminal post-hardcore group. They are very strong songwriters. Super influenced by Pixies and Husker Du on earlier releases, later releases later add in post-punk and funk influences. Their second and last albums are their best imo. The general consensus is that the first is the worst.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=239Ze1AlkKg
www.youtube.com/watch?v=05fruBXGEPk
The frontman of Number Girl formed Zazen Boys after NG broke up. They released 2 albums that are very Beefheart-y (Zazen Boys I and Zazen Boys III). Zazen Boys II is mostly math rock with funk influences. Zazen Boys 4 is synth funk 80's throwback. Good shit.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=tt6r1d3oBdg
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iz9nCQi-TmY
>Incredible feels on that last track. Once listened to it while watching the sunrise, high on amphetamines.
Spiral Chord is another good one - Really obscure/underrated garage rock. Features the bassist for Number Girl.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yqf81IO10U
Frontman of Spiral Chord fronted Cowpers before Spiral Chord happened. Their first album (Lost Days) is garage-y punk. Their second on is Drive Like Jehu worship - Really good Drive Like Jehu worship at that.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=KweoaE3f4uY
Bloodthirsty Butchers are highly underrated. They're obviously influenced by the late 80's/early 90's American underground. Their frontman (who was married to the guitarist from Number Girl, incidentally) is dead. Kocorono is basically the Japanese Zen Arcade and it's a shame that it's not discussed on /mu/ as much as, say, the least interesting Midori album (ahem).

My personal absolute favorite is Shiina Ringo. Her music is so unique and diverse.
Unfortunately there isn't much on youtube as Japan likes to take it down. This one is pretty good... the intro to the album Karuki Samen Kuri No Hana. This is the album that got me into her in the first place.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tE-ybWpV3c
My favorite track by her is Tsumi to Batsu - in particular, the version she performed at Ringo Expo 08. If I could go back in time to see any live concert it would be that one.

It took me under 2 hours to remember all of the, admittedly few, Korean alphabet –from knowing absolutely nothing. I did it by romanising entire sentences written in Hangul. While I was learning Japanese, I tried a similar method to how you're currently doing it and I found it quite dull and not all that efficient. I recommend giving the first method a try; it's more engaging and starts off hard –at first, you'll be constantly referring to your notes, but you'll soon pick up the pace.

man, namasensei has been successfully trolling people into wasting their time for too many years now.
writing kana n-many times does jack shit for memorization, only handwriting. your goal isn't to write japanese well, it's to READ japanese well. the more you practice reading the better you'll comprehend. put your jap music library on shuffle and read every fucking title (hopefully you're not a plebeian who romanizes all their japanese tags). this method is the best because spaced repetition systems are a tried and proven method to easily memorize anything, and if you're forcing yourself to read a string of japanese every few minutes, you'll pick it up pretty quickly.
make quick guesses without stopping. read the entire word/title (ignoring kanji) and make a best effort to understand what it says. then if you're really unsure if what you read was correct go put it in a romanization engine or check it against some printed kana tables. make mental notes of which kana fuck you up the worst and make mnemonics for them. (i liked to imagine i was in love with a girl named さち because together they form a heart, and i no longer confused the two).
i learned kana quickly with my music library. my goal was to be able to read the song titles of music i enjoy so i can remember them, and guess what, because i know what they look like and how to read them i can also write them without difficulty. so there.

There's nothing wrong with liking idols anon
>>51113708
I didn't say there was anything wrong with liking them, but they don't belong in this thread.
>>51113907
It's japanese music, though
>>51114018
It's hardly music, though
>>51105707
What album is this
>>51112943
nama-who? I know this isn't the most efficient way of learning kana and I didn't claim it to be, but I learned a language like this before and it works for me. I also want to be able to write them well, otherwise I wouldn't bother that much.

From what I've heard, it sounds like they are trying new things with shoegaze. I respect them for that. The tracks I've heard weren't that bad.
>>51114815
Happened to have this and their following EP uploaded to my mega if OP or anyone else wants them

Also pic related, toe, is japanese. One of my favorite albums of all time, kind of post-rock, kind of math-rock, amazing jazzy percussion. Check it out:

If you're into shoegaze:

If you're into screamo, hardcore and post-rock. They have some beautiful instrumentation:

>>51118228
Oh let's be real, most of the people listening to idol music are more interested in how the idols look/dance/behave irl than the actual music itself. And considering these people are the ones buying their releases, idols cater to them by putting more effort .
There are probably exceptions of course, but they are rare.
You seriously need to get your ears checked if you think idol music that that anon (or maybe you) posted is on the same level as e.g. Susumu's from >>51106322.
>>51118756
*more effort into their appearance than the music itself
>>51118756
debatable
>>51116987
bump for this
>>51116987
>>51119401
uploading mikgazer vol. 1 now
>>51117105
>new things
I beg to differ.
>>51119401
Both are in the archives.
>>51119255
That's a pretty weird method of debating you chose there; not that I would really like to `debate' you right now, it's way too late here and I need to get up early tomorrow.
Mikgazer vol. 1
>vocaloid shoegaze, a lot better than it sounds

du dun cha
nice dubs btw
>>51119780
tis some good shit anon
>>51119780
>>51120216
btw does anyone know if a vol 2 is coming out
Jizue - Shiori might be in my top 5 this year. Does anyone know anything similar? I'm not really into the jap. scene
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VonIRm0kNpI
jap math/post rock (this particular song is one of 2 on the album which has vocals)
>>51107438
That's beautiful.
Anywhere one can get a lossless version of it?
>>51120683
What.cd only has 320
I'll be going to Japan this summer, this one is on my list
>>51106235
Still fantastic music
>>51120522
You should give Mouse on the Keys a try.
Who are the dominant figures in Japanese pop music today? Like who would be equated to Britney Spears, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Rihanna etc
>>51105707
Shinsekai also by Midori is real good.
Same sort of shit, but still a worthwhile album.
>>51105707
I'm on the 7th track. When does this album get good?
>>51122148
Boybands and idols like Arashi and AKB48, solo artists like utada hikaru are ded i think, nana mizuki, maybe? or kyary, i don't know if she's still a thing in japan
>>51105749
>>51106682
>>51106704
>>51106743
Reminder that april #02 is painfully superior. It's Program Music 1 without the overuse of strings and meandering, unfocused song structure.
>>51123045
i was looking for his entire discography but i can't find them anywhere
the only kashiwa daisuke releases i had my hands on are prog music 1, re: and 9 songs from that anon above. i might agree with you but i havent even heard it yet
>>51120247
I don't know, but if you're looking for similar stuff look into the contributing artists, particularly 36g
Not necessarily /mu/-approved, but link-related was the first Nip song I really liked. Just some generic J-Pop.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7dSgxbMbek
>>51119470
Well sure. They are mixing shoegaze with pop to make some cool songs. It's just my opinion though.
>>51119464
>>51119780
Thanks a lot!
>>51119526
Sorry, I always forget about the archives. What's the site address again?
>>51120522
Uchuu Konbini has been making the rounds in these threads. It's pretty mathy.

Address is also in the sticky if you lose the link.
> tfw Jap CDs/vinyls/etc are way more expensive b/c of shipping
Kill me now.
>>51124020
I there's more to it than shipping. I remember someone saying the reason japanese editions often have bonus tracks is to give japanese buys incentive to buy the japanese release because otherwise everyone would just order internationally to save money. Like there's some kind of commercial import tax or something.

>>51119800
an expression (idiom) mostly used by spanish speakers:
>vocaloid shoegaze, a lot better than it sounds
a lot better than it sounds (the album itself) that what the genre name (vocaloid shoegaze) means to be (people may take this as shit when they see both words joint).
>>51124153
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JM9v8bSANSY
didnt realise one of them had god-awful quality, sorry
>>51123158
Not the guy you were talking to before, but here's a mega link to the album.
https://mega.co.nz/#!apMhCY5Q!7VyPpRk3YHyjyZGyb-tp0KF3r9NWp6EHJeS0hP0jnxo
>>51124121
Actually, people in Japan have both options. Stores there carry the Japanese editions as well as the overseas editions (for international releases), so people can choose between a (slightly) cheaper album or one or more bonus tracks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipT7l6X928U
Some really good Japanese post.rock/shoegaze
Eksperimentoj should have way more attention on here and also the band "dhal," should as well (shoegaze/trip.hop).
Is TK from 凛として時雨 acceptable, or even 凛として時雨 (Ling Tosite Sigure)?
If not, a guilty pleasure of mine.
>>51123613
Thanks!
To repay everyone for their help here's this gem.
Shigeo Sekito- Special Sound Series Vol. 2
>Synth/Organ Jazz
http://www65.zippyshare.com/v/80777205/file.html#
>>51124528
Yeah, 凛として時雨 is pretty catchy, I like it, but they do anime OSTs so...
I think it's in the guilty pleasure bucket, sad to say.
>>51124614
Ah, well. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone will take me seriously for listening to Japanese music anyway.
Some nice stuff, though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYdmJBcvIVY
Did anyone know Shinsei Kamattechan or Sotaisei Riron? :c
Even if you're trying to avoid mainstream pop shit, give L'Arc~en~Ciel a listen. True is one of the best pop albums to come out of Japan, and their newer albums all have some incredible moments on them.
this is a pretty cool song

Not to be a pleb, but how safe is it to dl from mega?
>>51125479
maximally safe, your ISP can't know what you're downloading. The only thing in the files should be mp3s which can not be exploited maliciously. If you find a DL from mega with an executable in it just don't run it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivva4VCfc_M
Thelma classic
>>51105707
I'm gonna suggest Omokage lucky hole. I call it funky but this album isn't really. you should look into the band because I like it you might like them too. I haven't seen the show, but they did the opening for natsu no arashi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e75cpHIgpG8
How was this album not posted? Her first is also really good!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ5QvrGxTnQ
New きのこ帝国 just dropped a few days ago. Check it out if you're into shoegaze at all.
>>51129093
Gotta link?
And anybody hype for the new mariko gotou album, shit should have released already, but those niggas were lazy.
Any good jap ambient stuff come out recently?
favorite recent releases?

>>51124270
Does /mu/ has a mega account or something that keeps on track any albums that have been listed here? It's funny because we have a vaporwave mega uploads yet we have no general album sharing mega uploads.
New kashiwa daisuke is very nice, then again, it's very different than his usual stuff and I love when artists do that.
And having Piana on vocals doesn't hurt either.
Bump because thread is filled with good recomendations
this thread is 2 days old

Anyone got Shiina Ringo's latest album? Can't find it anywhere.

I can't even imagine how one would go about learning them in any other way
