Is she the best Japanese music artist? I think so.
Post Jap music
>>61981583
le fishmans tho tbqhwymf XD
>>61981603
Who?
>>61981662
Are you ok?
>>61981583
Let's ignore the shitposter and try to actually talk about music.
Tamahimesama is a pretty fucking great album, however I haven't managed to get to interested in a lot of her other work. How familiar are you with YAPOOS, anything you can recommend?
I've been listening to this a lot recently, it's such a fun album.
>>61982827
Yapoos is amazing. Check this album out, it's my absolute favorite. Their best effort IMO.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K3hk4qeJoE
I'll check Philharmony out.
Boris is fun
>>61982873
I'm a few tracks in so far and I like what I hear, track 3 is pretty wicked.
You can have this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0Lim2XmVc4
Akiko Yano or Luminous Orange are probably my favorite Jap artists
>>61982827
Yapoos is really good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddtTnO8kPo4
>>61983191
I fucking love track 3, honestly can't get enough of it. So fucking good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOE-8AzQV2s
What about Melt Banana? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7b2LlbvAwQ
>>61983316
Yea they're pretty cool
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtTs2liTmI0
Togawa Kaidan is kinda cute I wish it was more Togawa and less Kaidan though.
Suki Suki Daisuki and the first yapoos album are amazing
A lot of people seem to adore those first two Guernica albums. Not my style but I can see why they are loved so much.
http://youtu.be/Wooi39K0pXg
Gesu no Kiwami Otome is p good
>>61983215
Man, her vocal range is great on this track.
>>61983377
YOOOOOOOOOOO how have I not heard of this yet? Holy shit.
Yes. Yapoos are amazing. Have you heard Togawa Kaidan OP? It just came out.
My other favourites include YMO (including their solo stuff) Seiko Oomori and Shiina Ringo (though her recent stuff hasn't been so good.)
First thing that came to mind.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIEfW6PlAkw
Been going through the dudes catalogue for a while.
Just good fun pop music
>>61983398
I can't stand the vocal, some songs are catchy as fuck though
Tricot for best mix of accessibility and great song writing. The occasional jazz sessions are absolutely insane as well. My favorite band as of now.

such a great track
anyone know anything similar to the bloodthirsty butchers?
Does anybody know any more interesting Japanese Art Pop artists that lean more Dance/Pop than Shiina Ringo/Jun Togawa?
>>61983625
Holy fuck this is amazing. Thanks man.
Btw I totally get the thing about the vocals, I mainly listen for the instrumentation.

>>61984032
This is super cute. What albums of her should I start with (looked her discography up and it seems pretty big so I want some direction).
this thread triggers me
>>61984163
Her first two albums Japanese Girl and Iroha ni Konpeitou are more folk and a little different than that song but still really good
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J3L1CV1FI4
Gohan ga Dekita yo is where that song was from and starts her using more electronics because she started to get involved in YMO, I'd recommend just going chronologically with her first couple of albums they're all really good
That's not Midori, OP.
YUI is my favourite Japanese artist.
>>61984312
I listened to Aratamemashite almost every day for a year.
I still miss them and Mariko.
>>61984246
Thanks baby, I'll do that.
>>61984106
Do you happen to have dl links for any of Zazen boys' stuff? Can't seem to find much that's still up in the archives
the few japanese artists in my library,
casiopea , BOaT, 385, T-square, Softball, Bleach03, Melt-banana, Jimsaku, Jizue, Lamp,
mouse on the keys, toe, midori, kaoru akimoto, natsumen, akiakane, machine & the synergetic nuts, teengenerate
its not very many, recommend some more?
What the fuck is the point of this album?
>>61984980
Can.
>>61984908
I have Zazen Boys 1 and 2 on flac. I could upload them now, but it would take a while.
>>61984980
What's the matter, TOO DEEP FOR YOU?
>>61984908
I got it from jpopsuki, but you can get it on rutrackr if you don't mind the mp3 version.
>>61985042
I don't speak moonrunes, so I don't know what meaning I'm not getting from the vocals.
Good music though.
>>61985039
If you don't mind that would be great, thanks.
>>61985089
Lyrics are the least important part of a song
>tfw no doji morita gf
>>61985096
ok, doing it now.
I could also send you a jps invite, if you don't want to wait.
>>61985116
Especially when Can is involved.
I'm interested in the songs though. What are they about?
>>61985131
sorry, bit of a newfag. What is that exactly?
>>61985189
It's a private torrent tracker. Basically, like The Pirate Bay, but it requires and invite, and it has a set of rules you have to follow.
It's an awesome site. You can find almost everything there.
>>61985257
Alright, sounds good.
>>61985257
very easy to maintain ratio as well, as long as you are not being a piece of shit. (except when you are being a piece of shit by downloading torrents in the first place)
>>61985321
Great :D Tell me your email so I can send you an invite.
>>61982827
The shitposter is right, this is a terrible meme band. Every song sounds like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cr1MjCAav4
>>61985257
How good is jps compared to what? And is it strictly Japanese stuff or do they have Korean and Chinese shit too?
Also do they have Guitar Vader's discog? I've been hanging at 99.9% on a piratebay torrent for ages now.
>>61985366
True lol. It's all in the points.
>>61985410
Do you have somewhere I could send you private messages, so I don't have to post it publically
>>61985439
They have Korean and Chinese stuff too.
Their rips are cleaner, and very rarely you find a torrent with no seeders.
They have Guitar Vader's discography, but only Wild at Honey is in flac.
>>61985439
Korean yes, chinese yes.
And Yes.
>>61985480
Sadly, no. Just open a new mail, if you're uncomfortable.
>>61985515
Oh, they have Dawn on flac too. Didn't see it lol
>>61985410
Invite to what?
>>61985576

>>61985727
>>61985781
Try looking for one on /jp/
>>61985781
No worries
>>61985810
Cheers, I'll look
>>61985766
I meant like a twitter or fb, not on here. Kinda dumb of me in retrospect
>>61985810
You probably won't get one, people inviting randoms to jpopsuki doesn't happen often because if he gets banned then you get punished too and can get your whole invite tree banned too
>>61985781
It comes up with an error message when i click the invite
>>61985844
I've been inviting random people for some time, and none have gotten into trouble. Some have stopped using the site, others have been careful, none of them banned.
>>61985825
>>61985727
>>61985515
Eh, a bit risky, but I can give you one I guess.
>>61985854
Really? Weird. You appear as registered to me :/
>>61985901
If you're still up for it.
>>61985901
Nothing risky because JPS staff is non-existent. That site's been run by users for a while.
We still doing jpopsuki invites? I've got a 3.5 ratio on empornium if that means anything (I download a lot of porn)
>>61985952
try to seed by downloading the freeleech vids, good luck.
weeaboos leave now
>>61986009
Will do. I have some experience in private trackers so I should be fine. Cheers mate
>>61985952
>>61986009
Nah, man, download like 100 small size torrents, and accumulate bonus points. That's the only way to survive.
>>61986000
>3.5 ratio on empornium
how is your ratio that low on emp they give away ratio like crazy
>>61986037
lol, cheeky cunt.
Malice Mizer
>>61986059
Damn how did you get your ratio this high
>>61986077
seedbox?
>>61986093
smfh
>>61986077
>>61986093
No, I just downloaded like 500GB~ of porn during freeleach for christmas then turned in all of the bonus points from seeding them all for a week
>>61986125
Oh shit that's a lot of porn
>>61986177
Yea, I bought a 4tb external during black friday for it
Best $100 I've spent
>>61986037
Seeding the huge freeleech 15-30+ gb music shows has always been way easier. My ratio rn is 11.31. FNS, Best Artist, Music Station Super Live, Kohaku Uta Gassen etc.
Kind of missed your chance since nearly all of them happened last month, but look out for Music Station they tend to have special 2-3 hour episodes every couple months and it probably will be freeleech.
>>61986177
> he doesn't possess 5TB for HD porn for when the apocalypse inevitably happens.
does jpopsuki do jazz or ogg vorbis? if so invite pls
>>61986059
My upload speeds rarely go above 10-50kb/s and I only ever have my torrent client open when I'm downloading shit. Most all of my ratio comes from a single freeleech torrent of some memeactress.
>>61986125
Damn, I don't even use my bonus credits, just leave them to rot. Plus I rarely download full torrents which I think means it doesn't count towards your credits.
And if I had the space to have 500GB of porn I'd probably blow it all on 4k impulse downloads and other videos I'd never watch.
>>61986268
After what happened with Fakku I'd probably just dedicate it all to accumulating a massive amount of hentai.
>>61986344
What's Fakku and what happened to it?
>>61983731
Mah nigga. I was introduced to them from /mu/ about a year and a half ago and they're my joint favourite band of all time. As for recs:
Lostage
toddle
Cowpers
Number Girl (well, not really that similar...still definitely worth a listen though)
>>61986543
They got a ton of porn deleted from sadpanda and now is trying to sell them on their site for $30
>>61986543
Fakku is a hentai site that went "legit" and started publishing hentai for a price, which resulted in them forcing exhentai to take down all the stuff that they were selling. This caused a monthlong shitstorm on /a/ and the collective suicides of countless weeaboo neets whose corpses are probably still undiscovered. It was like the holocaust but with hentai and it actually happened.

I've rarely seen them mentioned but what little I've found is really solid
Also recently gotten back into soutaiseiriron
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Atc0ERea7nE
So I have to ask, because I find a lot of Japanese stuff incredibly difficult to find torrents or even CDs of online most of the time: how should I go about getting hold of all this? Is there a good dedicated torrent website for Japanese music (particularly all the late 70s early 80s stuff) which my google-fu has been far too weak to locate?
>>61988189
slsk and jps
>>61988189
>even CDs of online most of the time
If you want to go down this route, take a look on Yahoo Japan auctions (basically their ebay) and use a proxy buying service in conjunction.
Do you tag your jap albums in English or in kanji?
>>61988259
I had a quick look through the thread after posting and felt like a bit of an idiot when I saw that JPS had indeed been mentioned. Should've looked first I guess, but now I know I need an invite. The hunt begins. Never used SLSK, how does it work?
>>61988315
May give that a go if the downloading plan doesn't work out.
>>61988381
I used to not really give a shit, but I've started trying to organize my music collection as much as possible now.
I go for the original kanji, and then either the romaji or english translation (as long as it's not a Google Translation) in parenthesis, mainly so I have at least some semblance of which track I'm listening to.
>>61984106
>>61984908
Here is my collection (all their studio albums, a couple singles and a few live albums). Not the greatest quality (between 160kbps-320kbps), but it's better than nothing.

>>61993077
nah, the only people who like her are Brazilian gay men who grew up watching anime
>>61992915
I am surprised Takagi Masakatsu or Kashiwa Daisuke isn't mentioned at all. Nor Shiina Ringo. Nor Susumu Hirasawa. All well liked here and elsewhere.
in japan is merzbow a common household word? is he really big in japan?
>>61993159
World's End Girlfriend as well.

>>61993859
Well keep it quality Japanese stuff is fine; it's when people post dumb anime shit that they only liked because of its association with anime shit that things get out of hand here.
>>61993833
She's more popular than anyone else mentioned here. But she's made like two good albums and her last 10 or so have been awful. Japanese equivalent of someone overrated like Nirvana.

Most people know ymo only for solid state survivor (or at least naughty boys), but I've tried and tried to stress how amazing the trio's solo careers and production efforts compares to today's electronic pop music. At least hosono and Sakamoto's careers.
Good to see hosono getting love these days, especially philharmony.
>>61993964
last album i heard from her was love again. anyway i think she deserves a lot of commendation since she was a manufactured idol, but chose to go against the grain by writing nearly all of her lyrics as well as composing and even arranging some of her work. added bonus that quite a few of those songs just happen to be really good
which albums of hers do you like? duty belongs in a museum
>>61984312
Favorite album? I burned Aratamemashite and Shinsekai to a single CD and I think the latter wins by a hair on most days. I listen to both constantly though.

she soundtracked this stage play:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w91peIdX_7U
and today's the first time i've seen this very quiet video of her playing at the top of a tree:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQQ3xSwLjTE
All of Yoshimura Hiroshi's stuff is really solid if you're into nature-tinged progressive electronic and ambient
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25254562
This whole album got me through a really pleasant trip and is definitely worth checking out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZuhNhVsBPg
Piana, someone mentioned her above but I've never seen anyone else discuss her.
The movie this is from is a pretty fun watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQQUEicr6d8
Cover of The Blue Hearts that were pretty big in Japan.
>>61995792
The original soundtrack by James Iha is good, too
Does anybody like 80s jpop? one of my favorites is akina. my other favorite is asami kobayashi. I have way too many artists I like to pick one I like the most.

yes some of my fave songs by her are fin, 難破船, and tattoo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGcn6oGMFug
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6Q3Zd7GtAs
i really wanna get into seiko but she has like 500 albums
>>61997038
I've been listening to a comp of jpop idol artists that had singles or songs written by Yellow Magic Orchestra. It's really good. I'll upload it in the current general sharethread. It's also for freeleech on jps.
https://youtu.be/A4yCIu0oobI
Hosono wrote this song:
https://youtu.be/CoyDSkj27dw
>>61982827
I like Hosono but not his albums really. I think this one really meanders, and not much of it seems fully realized. Of course, Sportsman is amazing, and by far the most interesting/catchy/danceable thing on that album. Second being Living-Dining-Kitchen I suppose.
>>61997614
You probably won't like his later works then, when he delves more into ambient in the late 80s/90s until he comes full circle back as a country/folk R&B artist in the late 00s.
But pretty much everything I've heard on "Philharmony" is remarkable how much it stands against today's electronic music like Fennesz, Autechre, OPN and even pop acts like Grimes. The fact that Hosono, a bass player with limited keyboard virtuosity, is able to assemble and mix these sounds and timbre into these dense miniatures of songs and pieces from "Sports Men" to "Happy Birthday" really makes you listen deeper to YMO songs and feel for who was really taking creative reigns on their individual songs on their albums.
>ctrl+f
>no haco
do most of you not care for her much?
I think her solo efforts (for the most part) are on par with her After Dinner work
plus, give me a song that stradles the border between intimacy and distance as well as this

ACO's great, Irony's probably my favorite of hers but I don't mind her After Dinner stuff
>>61998380
I've only listened to "my room, my stage", but I've enjoyed it for the most part

>>61998459
those are two diff artists dude
>>61998459
Always heard good things about ACO, and irony in particular (by the way I think youre confusing ACO with haco - insofar as I know, ACO wasn't involved with After Dinner)
But thanks for the rec
>>61998380
Ya know, personally aint too much a fan of Daoko's style, but I actually like the composition on the track you posted - but like with daoko, not much a fan of the voice and delivery
>>61998535
>>61998566
oh shit huh yeah
>>61998566
I posted a song by 泉まくら in comparison to daoko's- albeit limited- popularity on /mu/. I have similar concerns about daoko though.
>>61997429
hey, sorry for the delayed reply. all of seiko matsudas 80s albums are great. her 90s stuff isn't that great. I actually was lucky enough to find one of her albums sealed on discogs. It wasn't cheap though.
>>61997599
Thanks for this. I haven't heard these before.
Are there any more synth albums with traditional instruments or anything similar to
Mariah - utakata no hibi?
No Honda? For shame. Literally too rare for youtube even.

>>61998276
Haco's amazing, a personal favorite for sure. After Dinner was great, but my favorite is Ash in the Rainbow. The last two Hoahio albums are fantastic too.
>>61998276
I liked that album she did with Tsunoda that was just them recording the tram.
>>61999068
aww yeah, great one indeed - I think Riska is my favorite atm (a girl who can/would sing high tension wire to me is all I ask for).
Also, really really enjoyed Secret Garden - definitely one of my fav releases from 2015
amen on Hoahio albums (and you know what, I enjoyed happy mail too)
>>61999118
Have it in the libra, but havent given it a fair shake yet - the concept is pretty cool tho
and FYI, she recently put out this alternate mix of Less than lovers, more than friends (its a live from 2000, but she did some extra production on it) - really loving it
https://soundcloud.com/hacohacodotnet/less-than-lovers-more-than
and goddamn she still looks good
Love Takako Minekawa too
apparently working on a new album with Dustin Wong (and they had a live show last summer with fucking Haco - life is total suffering)
Anyways, I do think her solo work is stronger than what she's put out with WOng, but they've also had some fantastic songs so who knows, maybe they hit the money with the next album?

This is great! Thank you.
She's always been pretty cute, sadly there's not many picture of her out there.
>>61999778
She's great. Destron (off of Roomic Cube) is easily one of my favorite tracks of all time. Her new albums with Dustin Wong have been seriously great too, excited to hear more of it and where they'll grow next.
>they had a live show last summer with fucking Haco - life is total suffering
There's so many cool shows in Japan, it's ridiculous. There's EAI festivals going on every second weekend.

Gackt is a monopoly. He is crazy amazing what type of popularity he has in japan. Same as l'arc en ciel glay or x japan. Holy shit i remember when tickets go on sale for l'arc they sell out for tokyo dome every time.
>>61997038
I love her too. I missed the shock is so nostalgic.
I miss them so much.
>>62003393
The fuck, are they not a band anymore?
>>62003435
They broke up last March. God damn.
>>61998777
i just recently rediscovered this album thanks to a friend its so great and beautiful i dont even know anything similar its so dreamy...check After Dinner, YMO maybe some Ryuichi Sakamoto's solo stuff and Akiko Yano, Phew...all mentioned in the thread, also Haniwa-chan
Does anyone have Koraechattokinai by Kaientai?
Hey, check out vampillia, they are on the same label (Virgin babylon records) as worlds end girlfriend and kashiwa daisuke. Vampillias new album had songs with jun togawa and bis singing. There's also other guests and collabs (like tujiko noriko) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIs7yRbpCIU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeO8lv-TxSQ
Also i recently found this great rap track by akko gorilla https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLnMkRViftE
Aaand, shintaro sakamotos (from yura yura teikoku) solowork is amazing, especially i love this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY6sWifUbrI
Links to the Togawa Kaidan album would be great!
>>61987641
I saw merzbow last december, he was great! It wasn't ear destroying noise, like some of his stuff, but more like this pulsating loudness.
>>61983191
That's dope
who's cute in AKB?
>>62004732

what a cunt, making shit cabaret music is no reason to act like you're some kind of untouchable activist
No love for Tatsuya Yoshida?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlJZeJqwisg
Or Zeni Geva?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3DVc00JfDo
Or Shinsei Kamatte-chan?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqlrQuPAD9A
>>62007255
shinsei kamattechan was the band that got me into japanese music. Like 5 years ago i stumbled upon this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqE3oaJmVS0 and got hooked instantly.
i urge everybody to check out high rise, similar to lez rallises, but more rock-ier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdlJ_szMK5I
And gotta hype my favorite japanese musician Otomo Yoshihide, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPnP3Sqi3kQ
>>62007513
>High Rise
I always forget about them.
>Otomo Yoshihide
He's worked with so many other musicians, it's crazy. IIRC, he did a trio with Bill Laswell and Tatsuya Yoshida even.
This shit's pretty gr8
Any more like this? Emotional j-pop/folk?

Makes me want to listen to her even more. Having pride in your country isn't a bad thing and fuck korea
we need this to be archived so we can sift through it thoroughly.
>>62008920
Holy fucking shit, my sides
>>62014226
Having pride in only the worst parts of your country that everyone except retarded 日本語おかしいネトウヨ-types wants to get over is pretty awful

Based Shiina "Spook the Gook" Ringo
Just tripped over this a few minutes ago. Very, very catchy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAZlBRwxh2U
Otherwise, I've been a fan of this guy for a while, at least when he's not collabing. I prefer his solo instrumental work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAZlBRwxh2U
>>62016341
Fucked up the second link.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niiLsfdlFPU
>>61983143
yeah
>>62014308
why archive it? its pretty simple:
>band or artist has had some kind of recognition in the US or a write-up by a western publication
>"wow its shit for death grip-loving pseudo-indie weebs
>band or artist is really old pop or unheard even in Japan
>"wow 10/10 patrish"
>>62014308
all threads are archived m8
also if you werent new af you'd know that this is all fairly standard for /jap/ mu
sage
>>61983625
One of my favorites, great live players!
