What is some good music out of Japan? What are some of the best releases to come from Japan or Japanese people? Discuss
I'm a Japanese music man myself. Boris, Boris, the list could go on...

Midori are pretty great. Best thing /mu/ has turned me on to.

maybe you just like shitty music
Japan has been putting out droves of top-tier jazz musicians for the last 7 decades but it never shows up here.

>>51866509
Holy shit
>>51866084
This is a special moment for me, because it's the first time anyone has ever insulted my tastes in music on /mu/.
I feel honoured to finally know that somewhere in the world, somebody hates my taste in music.
>>51866621
canada is kind of close... i mean they both have red and white flags
>>51866336

What is some good Avant Garde, weird shit that has came from there? I kind of prefer that side of Japanese music
>>51866475
Seconded, although more than half of my music library is Japanese.
>>51866111
>tfw discovering new music this good
Always a great feeling.
>>51865919
The best Japanese music is remixed into vaporwave by white, American nerd-types.
>>51866547
it's not that good and fits /mu/ quite well

Lately I quite like Infinity Eighteen vol.2, hard to believe 15 years ago idols were releasing music like this!! Some songs can be considered trip-hop I guess, and j-electro.
half the album can be heard here http://nhac.hay.mn/nghe-album/infinity-eighteen-vol-2.XFpQV0c=.html
>>51865919
THERE WAS THIS ONE VIDEO WITH A DANCING SKELETON AND A BUNCH OF HANDS WITH EYES AND NOW I CAN'T FIND IT HELP
Aayayay I want more

Does anyone have an invite to Jpopsuki they can send to me?
>>51870625
Yes, but you might fuck with my ratio
>>51870868
I actually want to download some Hosono and Sakamoto albums. The only thing I really have to offer are the Number Girl Kiroku Box Live Sets and compilations and Zazen Boys I-IV, all ripped by me.
>>51870625
do they open invites often?
>>51870925
I havent seen it since I signed up like 3 years ago.
Maybe they have and I didnt notice though
>>51870942
these private trackers man, requiring you have friends
>>51870925
not anymore, it's all invite only. twitter is dead too.
Luminous Orange is severely underrated Shoegaze. Probably the best Shoegaze I've heard from Japan.

How'd it take so damn long for some Shibuya-kei to show up?
Also, Utada Hikaru is GOAT.
Modern jap music is just an imitation of white's
Prove me wrong.
>>51871612
or it's just western
soon it'll just be a global standard, having nothing to do with any region aside from its origin
