I've been catching up on listening to some old stuff I hadn't gotten around to lately and noticed that all the downloads I can find for なゆきんぐだむ from M3-30 are missing the first track. Instead there's a text file saying it would get released by download only from a link on nayu's twitter, but it seems you can't look back that far. I don't suppose anyone grabbed it at the time, or knows of a download that contains it?
This album is so damn good, I can't stop listening to it. Shame I have to use Jewgle Play Music to listen to it, tho. Anyone has it uploaded somewhere? I can't find it in the archive.
>>15001386
Check the archive.
Anybody has a url for まめいちご - あいどるすくーる～idol love school～? I can't find it anywhere
>>15002857
I've been after this for ages too, I know some guy posted a photo of it and some other CDs on here a few threads back, so at least one person who frequents these threads has it, but they haven't uploaded it.
>>15001801
I ain't finding it. Maybe I'm just retarded.
>>15004117
It's not uploaded in any of the other usual places I go to either. I've yet to check japanese p2p programs, but I don't wanna reinstall them just for this. If the buyfag anon can see this, please help a brother out!

Thanks anon-kun
I recently joined my college's radio and I could play Denpa if I wanted. Should I do it or is it too autistic?
>>15007669
That sounds like a bad idea, anon. Maybe you could do a "J-Pop" show and sneak some in, but even then a J-Pop radio station sounds like a bad idea as well. College radio is usually a bad idea.
>>15007669
Yeah I'd hold off on that personally. Might be a bit too much to the unfamiliar ear and then you'd be that guy.. Off vocal maybe, just maybe. but still. i probably wouldn't.

>>15007669
Denpa is the pinnacle of autism music. If you want to advertise yourself as autism, do it.
>>15008812
It's also something that's fit for a particular time and place, like a live show or when you want to get pumped and crazy alone in your room. It's very energetic so I think it's bad for casual, background listening radio music.
I know it's not really denpa, but I still feel it's the most appropriate place to ask:
Funwari-chan's XLR and NIGHT HIKE are currently up on BOOTH. I'd buy them in a flash, if they shipped outside of Japan. I'm not interested in physical copies, but I still haven't found either uploaded anywhere. Would anyone be able to order them before they run out of stock?
>>15009633

>Great throwback song
Fuck man, I am a filthy crossboarding non-regular who spent the half the day listening to 90s shit and have never been so tempted to link something off-topic
But I must refrain. Instead, I will ask - is Love Cheat! or the albums it's on available in 320kbps or lossless? After someone identified the song for me (>>15023724) I grabbed the 192kbps AKIBA POP RECOLLECTION album in one of the OP links. Actually willing to pay for this desu as long as I don't need to get a jap cc. Actually I'm willing to buy shit in general (<$50) and upload it as long as I can do it with Western financial credit, come at me bros
>>15024111
Love Cheat is the lead single on the 2006 album Space Akiba-pop.

If I remember correctly the full version is in that old dempa song pack someone posted time ago.

>>15025051
I have my doubts about whether or not it was sung by Itou Kanako. It just seems like it was mislabeled with the songs before it in the same album, it's actually sung by maimai.
>>15026506
I have this coming in the mail actually (again no idea when it will get here), but holy shit, stop begging in every thread.
>>15026596

>>15026724
FYI it's shit posts like these that make me unmotivated to rip and tag albums like >>15002857
>>15026739
Why? They are just asking nicely. It's not like they're demanding.
>>15026754
>beggars asking for money politely
Still annoying as fuck. Like the majority of world I ignore beggars.
>>15026774
You don't have to upload anything then. Get your stick out of your ass.
>>15026785
How many albums have you uploaded here? You should get the stick out of your ass.
>>15026785
Nobody "has" to do anything any more than they "have" to stop doing things but it doesn't stop some behavior from being desirable and some behavior from being annoying.

>>15026754
>>15026785

>>15026804
Why do you care so much about my opinion? It's not like I'm demanding that they stop shitposting. You aren't entitled to power trip because you protect beggars.
>>15026774
Some of us ask for stuff because we can't find anywhere selling it, if it wasn't for the fact I can't find it for sale anywhere i would have bought and uploaded >>15002857 myself. These threads are about sharing very niche music that's not easily available outside Japan, if you have something that others don't and have no way of getting hold of it makes you a supremely selfish dickhead to withhold it just because once or twice a thread someone makes a post you find disagreeable, this is 4chan no matter where you go you'll find someone posting something you find annoying.
>>15026817
You make it sound like your original post wasn't a shitpost in itself. You're shitting up the thread just as much as they are.
>>15025051
I see, I haven't played "Hello, world" yet. It's on my backlog forever...
>>15026868
Same can be said about you.

go back to /pol/ bernie cuck
>>15026572
A quick look at EGS tells me you're right. Heart breaking mistake.
>>15026817
>Why do you care so much about my opinion?
Because you came to complain about it, besides the original poster was literally asking for requests
>come at me bros
First, discussion about denpa and otaku culture annoyed you, now people requesting CDs annoy you, everything annoys you. If you want everyone to leave go make a Skype chat group or something.
>>15027440
He didn't say that, he's talking about withholding material out of pure spite because someone's asking for it. And you should go back to /pol/, where the fuck did "bernie cuck" come from?
Damn guys, I was hyped to see 17 new posts, to see people arguing about nothing. Who cares, asking about a denpa CD is denpa discussion, if you don't want to upload anything then just don't.
Back on topic, M3 is coming soon, any anons going? What new stuff are you looking forward to?
>>15027771
>saying it's okay to shitpost about requests
>saying it's not okay to complain about shitpost requests
Irony.
>First, discussion about denpa and otaku culture annoyed you
Where did I say I was annoyed about discussion about denpa? Begging for music isn't a discussion about denpa.
>withholding material out of pure spite because someone's asking for it
As far as I can tell, nobody is withholding material out of spite.
>asking for free stuff
Literally bernie cuck.
>>15028190
You should know by now whenever there's over a dozen posts in a day it's either event/upload day or shitpost day.
I'll be stopping by M3. Still haven't gone through everything that'll be released. Definitely going to pick up mameichigo's full album.
>>15028449
>How is requesting denpa in the denpa thread shitposting?
When you ask for the same shit thread after thread.
>Discussing about denpa has been banned from this thread ever since people started arguing about the definition of denpa.
There are plenty of ways to discuss denpa without arguing about the definition of denpa.
Since you seem to be having some problems, I'll give you some examples:
>Upcoming releases
>Recent finds/mixes
>Composition/music theory
>What the fuck are you even going on about?
>Modern denpa sucks balls, too.
Why stay here if you don't even like contemporary denpa? Take your ad hominems and go back to /pol/ you crossie.
What a fucking monster, this guy.
No, don't think this is food for you, monster!
>>15028514
Wrong thread, friend.
I should have never asked for that album
holy shitposts
It's kind of ironic how the actual Japanese denpa/moesong/doujin music scene is super polite, cheerful and inclusive but whenever I take a look at these threads theres always petty arguments and bickering about literally nothing.
>>15028750
Present argument aside I have no idea what you're talking about. I keep these threads open 24/7 and they're quiet most of the time, and frequently go days or weeks without any argument. There's also more interesting posts when events are happening.
How long has the present argument been going on, a day? This thread is almost 6 days old. I can only recall like 2 or 3 arguments this whole year so far.
>>15028739
Reading the replies is hilarious.
On a more thread related note, bought some of the older hinabita albums. I enjoyed most of the songs but I forgot how most of it wasn't cutie headshaking sounds.
Wow. I was just grumbling a bit like. I'll upload maple doll when(ever) it arrives.
I'm not sure what it is that maple sugar has, but they stands out for me in the moepop crowd, somehow.

I just got a digital copy of Akiba-Pop Recollection on Amazon but it seems their digital collection of denpa music is pretty small. Is there anywhere else where I can pay for and legally download digital copies of denpa music?
>>15031663
Depends on the artist/group. Some use proxies like amazon (e.g. nanahira), while other's use their own store (e.g. iosys and forestpireo).
Is there any specific artist you are looking for?
>>15007669
You would be labeled as paedophile and freak. I do not recommend.

>>15072663
Someone from here with some knowledge in web design should make one. Maybe a wiki?
>>15072781
Wikis are pretty terrible for data management.
>>15072781
Setting up a site is probably the easy part. The hard part being gathering all the information you'd want to display on such a site. So someone should do that first, and if they need help with the website side of it later I'm sure someone can help. I'd be willing to help for one, I coded an imageboard from scratch a while back so I learned a lot from that.
It could be a useful site, I was having some trouble figuring out how to label MMBK albums a while back since some of them seem to have different artists listed on different source with various combinations of MMBK, Kamel-Camellia, Nanahira, Confetto.
It would also be cool if there was information on which circle, if any, was involved in the album.
denpogs.com
>>15073704
>>15072781
If anything comes out of this, it has to be called DenpaDB.

Information is pretty fractured - you could probably find denpa covers on an utaite wiki, then various touhou releases on vgmdb, and some releases on discogs, but the rest would be searching through old comiket catalogs and people's download folders.

Is there really no jap database though? I find it a little hard to believe. How do denpa otaku in japan stay up to speed and get a good sense of who made what and when?
>>15074131
Thanks!
>>15074379
Mostly twitter I guess. And I think the denpa otaku crowd is very niche but almost all of them are really hardcore about a few circles they like. I was amazed when I went to the Twinkle show last summer, there were not more than 150people but almost all of them knew all songs of most artists by heart.

What do you think about the idea that lossless quality should be only for those who have purchased the media?

This has been a serious problem for me ever since I've been listening to this stuff. I always end up getting so incredibly bored by most of the "denpa" artists here cause they rarely hit that feeling like MOSAIC and other older artists. I think the only other groups I listen to with any regularity is ave;new project and toromi. I like odenpa studio because their music sounds rough and underproduced, but the artists that fall in that in-between where it's not "amateurish" anymore and sounds clean and polished and like really generic EDM with moe vocals ends up getting dropped with the quickness. It makes me feel absolutely nothing. It's just so trite. At this point it's like I can predict what an album will sound like just from the cover.
MOSAIC, please save denpa!
>>15077284
I don't agree, circles like Poyahchio, haru*ama*nya and IOSYS keep releasing good complex stuff that doesn't sound like generic moe EDM. I think some stuff like marine stars or mameIchigo are also less generic than you might think if you listen carefully to all the background sounds going on, it's more than moe edm

I found the 3rd track kind of relaxing. As an album, it's actually kind of neat, if you ask me.
>>15083160
I don't think it's that bad. It's a completely moepop take on some gothic-sounding themes with lighthearted motifs tossed in here and there. I think it's interesting to listen to.
Maybe it's just my cognitive dissonance speaking, from having bought the cd.

Not to be rude or anything, but FYI, all the zips you're making get mojibaked and if you happen to be using 7-zip I know a way to fix that.
When you're in the Add to Archive screen add this in the parameters box.
Ignore this post at your own leisure, just letting you know.
>>15084231
I use 7-zip (diff anon) and just a couple questions: By mojibaked, do you mean the garbled text?
Also, does it help to switch the format to zip? I've always left mine at 7z and kept the compression level setting at "Normal".
>>15084301
Just putting stuff in a 7z should be enough to not make it mojibake, as far as I know.

>>15077284
I'm glad I'm not the only one. The only denpa that doesn't bore me rigid is MOSAIC.WAV, Ave;new/DreSS, UNDER17 and U/Ultra Prism/Funta because they keep the original denpa vibe. The only way for me to hear new denpa is to go back over old late 90s/Early 00s eroge OPs.
The rest always just feel like they're making a different kind of music with generic moe-pop lyrics and the same vocal style in every track, even toromi doesn't do it for me anymore.
I heard that in the denpa polls now MOSAIC.WAV is excluded because their production level is so much higher than everyone else that nobody got a chance to win. Some people said it's because MOSAIC.WAV are now on a major label and should be called a different genre (Akiba pop) but the reality is that most of their discography is independent and their sound didn't change when they went major anyway, it's just sour grapes from the moepop camp.
I wish the GWAVE or TECHNORIDER TAMMY series would do another compilation but it's been so long.
>>15086824

both MOSAIC.WAV and ave;new project fairly consistently use similar instrumentation, musical progression, and vocal style in their discographies though.
they're just better produced and maybe more unique, but I don't think they have any more range than some other producers of denpa music.
>>15089896
MOSAIC.WAV have a much greater variety of sound than pretty much any denpa artist.

These are all very, very different styles of music. MOSAIC.WAV are way way more varied than basically every other producer in this thread. As for ave;new, they're also very varied but I can forgive you for thinking this as most people think the CHU! stuff they do for Twin Angel is representative of all of their work. Nobody into denpa really cares about the rest.
Please do name me one denpa group/artist with more variety or a greater musical range than MOSAIC.WAV. Thanks.
>>15090342
I've only heard the CHU! stuff and some generic sounding j-pop from ave;new, though I admit I haven't looked too much into it. I'll take your word that they have more varied tracks.
I'm not convinced that mosaic.wav music is particularly varied. They have a very signature crazy sound, and the vocalist has a fairly consistent range of voices that she does. I think their main strength is the big/orchestral sounds and the stories they tell in the lyrics. I have a similar opinion of ARM (of IOSYS): they also have signature sounds and themes.
I was looking at kasokaso the other day and some of the arrangement and mixing he did for various denpa/moepop albums. I'm not as underwhelmed as you seem to be.
I think, on a technical level, quite a few of these producers have similar levels of talent (ability to write in different styles, etc). Some of them fall into the trap of writing the same song over and over again, some more than others, but I think even ave;new does that to a fair degree, and you can still overlook that.
>>15090603
>I'm not convinced that mosaic.wav music is particularly varied. They have a very signature crazy sound, and the vocalist has a fairly consistent range of voices that she does.
You can't have listened to anywhere near their full discography then. I've given you a list above with some very varied tracks in it, certainly moreso than IOSYS, odenpa, chm etc.
MOSAIC.WAV are simply the best denpa group, nothing comes close and everything is trash and homogenized in comparison. This might sound massively exaggerated and I would think the same if I didn't know better but the facts are the facts - 99% of 'denpa' is churned out 'HAIHAI' moepop, MOSAIC.WAV break the mold in so many ways.
Just listen to everything they've done beyond the popular hits. They've even got a double album of chiptune BGM from TWGOK that nobody seems to know about.
>>15090645
Your entire post sounds like a whole lot of confirmation bias to me. I only have the larger mosaic.wav albums, which contain I presume mostly their hits, but I hear other tracks of theirs here and there, and I certainly recognize a few of the tracks in the list you provided. (But thank you, I work my way through the rest of your list, because I do like what mosaic.wav makes)
I'm not going to sit by and let you pretend that comparing the best of mosaic.wav with "haihai moepop" is a fair comparison between mosaic.wav and everyone else. You are literally taking your best impression of mosaic.wav and comparing it with your worst impression of an entire "genre" of music.
I might as well argue "oh it's mosaic.wav with the a-k-i-b-a motif again" or "oh it's ave;new with the churuchuchuchu again"
If you listen to something representative of mosaic.wav and something representative of say ARM, I don't think you could say either breaks a mold moreso than the other.
Even U had some "hai hai" moepop nonsense,back when she was alive.
>>15090645
Ugh. The point you're trying to make just describes the kind of superficiality and vacuous fandom that kills the spirit of music. You look at one band as the savior of a whole brand and try to popularize your view by making all these narrow comparisons. It makes me sick to see an opinion become such a disgusting motive of perpetuation in one's mind, to wanna glorify this one band's music and label it as "the best".

>>15090766
>I might as well argue "oh it's mosaic.wav with the a-k-i-b-a motif again"
But that isn't the case and if you listen to MOSAIC.WAV you'd know this. Just do your research before you throw assumptions around.
Answer my question - Give me a denpa artist more diverse and better produced than MOSAIC.WAV.
>Even U had some "hai hai" moepop nonsense, back when she was alive.
U is still alive in Ultra Prism/Koike's solo works, the former hasn't seen much activity for a while though.
>>15090788
>I mean, really, at a deeper level, you are killing it.
What's killing denpa is the 'accept-all' attitude that allows it to be saturated by shitty, regurgitated, unoriginal, homogenized moepop that carries absolutely none of the denpa aesthetic and yet tries to lay claim to the genre's identity by making songs about pantsu and tsunderes.
The people who don't challenge this are the ones who are killing it, the ones who sit back and let it slide because "Oh well, I like it" are the ones killing it. At a deeper level, you're killing it because you're killing the meaningful dialogue that allows the genre to evolve. You're no different from the people who exclude MOSAIC.WAV from the denpa polls because "Boo hoo, it's not fair, they're too good and we're not - it must be because they're on a major label now". These people, both western and Japanese will find any excuse to cover their misgivings and now we have more people wondering why denpa is becoming more and more generic.
There's your reason right there, you put sycophants in charge - people who would rather hide from quality and pretend it doesn't exist to make themselves look better rather than challenge it and create something amazing. The simple fact is that MOSAIC.WAV simply IS better than almost everything that passes for 'denpa' nowadays and the reason that sounds like a 'false flag' is because everyone has swept it under the carpet for so long.
Fuck your cheap ten-a-penny laptop denpa, you're not even on the same frequency as MOSAIC.WAV. The people doing the album covers are more talented than the artists themselves.
>>15091018
>But that isn't the case and if you listen to MOSAIC.WAV you'd know this. Just do your research before you throw assumptions around.
You've missed the point spectacularly. I was parodying your argument style to demonstrate your double standard. When you claim that "nothing even comes close to MOSAIC.WAV", you cannot cherry-pick the best of MOSAIC.WAV and the worst of everything else. That's the exact opposite of what you need to show.
>you put sycophants in charge
Irony.
For all of your posturing about challenging the norm and creating something new, you're sure backward-minded about what denpa can be and what it can sound like.
Camellia, Mamyukka, and Poyahchio are all doing different things from what MOSAIC.WAV do. ARM has his distinct style, and I've noticed talent and skill in arranging from kasokaso. All of them are capable of writing music in different styles, but they all have their own signature sounds. This is what any good music producer can do, as a matter of course!
Fuck off with your strawmen and your confirmation biases. MOSAIC.WAV deserve better fans than you.

None of these are any better than MOSAIC.WAV and I say this as someone who owns the entirety of ARM's and Camellia's discography (physical).
You can cherry pick the best of these artists and they don't come close to MOSAIC.WAV's worst. Just because they're doing different things doesn't mean they're doing better things.

But there isn't a double standard because MOSAIC.WAV aren't a one-trick pony.

Let me apologize for barging in on your elitist shitstorm of a discussion, but you seem to be butthurt that denpa has found an aesthetic that you don't like.
>>15091311
There's nothing wrong with flinging shit as long as it's flung in the right direction.
These threads have nearly always been like this, nothing has changed in the years I've been away. They were only good in the very beginning. It starts off with people who enjoy actual denpa music and know what it is, then suddenly the thread catches the eye of the /a/tards who decide that they have to consume absolutely all of it because it's 'lewd'.
But instead of actually caring about the aesthetic and understanding the music, they just widen the goalposts on what should be considered 'denpa' and start sharing it. Then you end up with blogs with hackneyed names like RTL trying to be the ground-zero of the movement. The same thing happened when the chart guy began aggregating upcoming anime from MOON PHASE and turned himself into a persona.
The problem isn't that some people are wrong, it's that some people are wrong and try to teach others that they are right. The anon above couldn't answer my question about MOSAIC.WAV because he hadn't listened to enough of them, he's not a true fan of denpa - he's just someone who thought that because it sounded like a brazen statement to make, it must be wrong. Mistake number 1: Know what you're actually talking about before you engage in a debate about it.
We now have a 'denpa' idol group trying to play at being 'otaku' who are representing the music to the masses, meanwhile smaller artists are making inroads into the commercial EDM sound. Is this really where we want denpa to go? It used to be characterised by lyrics, themes and aesthetic - it used to be ambiguous, now if it has a kawaii-desu vocalist and an anime album cover, people are willing to call it 'denpa'. This is how the genre becomes homogenized and weak, people would rather force it into a box and categorize it neatly than take the time to understand it artistically. Next we will have denpa K-Pop groups and pretty soon the americans will be at it too in their typical crass way.
It's not denpa, it's niwaka music for niwakas. The type of people who need pantsu and tsundere references, who need brightly coloured album covers to identify with the music. How many of these people would know momoi if it wasn't for Ferris-nyan? or Ootsuki if it wasn't for SZS? I'll fling shit at them all day if I have to.
>>15091372
>Let me apologize for barging in on your elitist shitstorm of a discussion, but you seem to be butthurt that denpa has found an aesthetic that you don't like.
Denpa already has an aesthetic, just because you don't understand it doesn't mean that it's changed. If you can't tell the difference between MOSAIC.WAV and odenpa studio then that's your fault.

>I'm not convinced that mosaic.wav music is particularly varied.
It's simultaneously varied and consistent. So you can always tell it's a mosaic track, but within those tracks they explore a pretty wide range of sounds and musical influences from metal and classical and super robot OP rock jams, jazz, and pop all blended into their signature style. There's also lots of Chinese progressions and at least a couple with some Irish/Celtic (?) melodies and such.
>I have a similar opinion of ARM (of IOSYS)
That's another guy (and group) that has a very consistently high quality output but with a lot of breadth.
I think one of the biggest points of difference is that older groups didn't work to "make denpa." It just so happened that their music churned out denpa songs. More recent artists are definitely jumping on the "denpa" bandwagon and treating it as an actual genre. When you do that, you homogenize many of the elements. Another point is that most recent artists simply haven't been around as long as MOSAIC or IOSYS.
>>15091018
>The people doing the album covers are more talented than the artists themselves.
Christ, it's true...
So many times I get suckered into downloading something because of the nice art but then the music ends up being so underwhelming.
>>15077380
>circles like Poyahchio, haru*ama*nya and IOSYS keep releasing good complex stuff that doesn't sound like generic moe EDM
I agree, I just wouldn't categorize most of it as "denpa." I'm just not feeling the electricity, you know? I don't listen to much IOSYS, because I'm not into Touhou music, but I like ARM's production and his is about as close in quality and zaniness as MOSAIC as one could get without being MOSAIC. Their last denpa compilation was fantastic. So yes, props to these artists who are simply doing their own thing and making neat music. But I'm not really talking about them. I'm talking about this wave of people who are really pushing a "denpa" image and style that has risen in the past few years--denpa in a "generic" moepop-centric sense (I think everyone knows what I mean by this). By doing that, they're consequently producing homogeneous and ultimately boring music. That's not really what "denpa" is about. It was never really a /genre/; that's what made "denpa songs" special.
>>15091372
>denpa has found an aesthetic that you don't like
Denpa is its own aesthetic and has been distinct from the moe aesthetic even if there's some overlap due to akiba and otaku themes. The point of contention is really around the fact that people are not only are people erroneously conflating the two, but that there are people who push for the subsumption of one aesthetic over the other. That kind of has an effect of limiting variation. It's stupid because it's not like mosaic doesn't borrow moe themes and aesthetic, it just adds it to its own, which comprises a much larger, denpa-oriented aesthetic. People got it twisted. Making boring music and slapping moe loli girls on the cover simply does not make music "denpa."
Who are you even quoting?
Even if we are to hold MOSAIC.WAV to be the prime example of what good denpa is all about, really they've been the entry-level band for me in my explorations to find the most challenging forms of the denpa song. I think this is because they are so technically proficient and highly produced, they have more of a mass appeal. But I get the whole argument. Artists like twinkle, mmbk, and others with fewer releases, they all seem to aim for the same kind of aesthetic. But, I've been underwhelmed far more times by the stuff that IOSYS or MOSAIC has put out. I just don't get the point of them being the "best" at it. Aside from a handful of songs that I've heard from either one of them, I'm always looking for something completely different.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjP2Duf8Iwk
Personally what keeps me coming back to MOSAIC.WAV and ARM and the like is both their unique composition and the themes their songs convey, especially the latter. It's hard to appreciate denpa if you don't understand Japanese because lyrics are a huge part of conveying that sort of "unsettling" or "off" feeling denpa is about. I could never get into groups like chiimu because most of their songs have all the same themes: loli, imouto, maids, etc. It isn't bad and I'll even listen a few times, but after a while it gets stale and leaves me wanting more. I just don't feel any emotional attachment or sense of amazement at all when I listen to these kinds of songs.

>>15091625
If anywhere were to ask what is the quintessential "denpa" group, it's probably MOSAIC or IOSYS. But frankly, getting bent out of shape over "denpa" is a waste of time. People should like whatever they like and there's no point in forcing oneself to like denpa songs. What I don't like, however, is people liking something different and then trying to call that "denpa" to fit in or something. There's absolutely nothing wrong with liking moesong! I like moesongs too and I think they have a deserved section of the denpa music. I just don't think that a song is denpa simply because it happens to be moe. I also don't like artists who milk a played-out aesthetic and potentially further the misconception. Basically, I liked denpa because it was DIFFERENT, not because it was more of the same. Anisong and moesong stuff is incredibly common. Denpa song, not so much.
>>15091674
>lyrics are a huge part of conveying that sort of "unsettling" or "off" feeling denpa is about
True. Though I think that's one part where even MOSAIC's composition shines through since it's rarely ever totally consonant and "right." I tend to get a feeling of suspension listening to them. I also like how they have lots of space and technology themes. Electromagnetic kind of stuff. THAT'S denpa.
>>15091850
If anyone*
>>15091674
In a sense, I'm glad that I don't understand the language, in terms of being able to understand the music better, I've always felt that lyrics just get in the way. But, the sound of the voice is very important. I can't stomach nanahira, but I find Toromi to be delectable. Also, I like it when vocalists get to be paired with various producers, and you get all these fresh combos each time. Maybe I'm wrong to think that MOSAIC.WAV doesn't do this very often, though it could explain why I frequently tire of them. There's a lot to be desired, just musically, from a lot of these artists. I thought Maple Doll was very boring, vocally and musically combined. So, I wouldn't even care about what they're singing. Even in a song which I did like, to know word for word what is being sung is a limiting thing. I don't get the sense that any of the denpa themes are very deep anyway, so it's not a bother.

>>15091899
I, too, prefer denpa because I can't understand what they're saying.
It's also for this reason that some of the only rock songs I have are in various European languages, so I don't have to worry about cringing to some awful lyrics.
>>15091899
>>15091949
I totally understand enjoying music with lyrics you don't understand to focus 100% on the sound, but I think understanding denpa lyrics can be a bonus. I'm still not great at japanese and and a lot of denpa song parts are really hard to understand, but understand the lyrics even just a bit can add another interesting dimension.Especially stuff like IOSYS, with lyrics as crazy as the music. For moe-poppy songs it's hit or miss, can be funny but they can also be fucking annoying

The eroge scene is still pumping out good denpa in 2016, thankfully.

There's even some metal shit which used to be common back in the day.

I interject to say that I completely agree with you because I've felt the same way. I liked it when some people had an interest in the culture surrounding denpa, I even remember someone translating some Japanese articles, 2ch threads and lyrics so others could understand what it was about. I also translated a few songs (or attempted to). There were some people interested but not many; it seems others don't want that discussion here and just want to pirate the new hot album with a cute loli on the cover.
That said, I've been more lenient and kept calm because:
1. Interest in this niche subculture, which is mostly dying anyway, requires some special kind of autism and investigation.
2. We're foreigners and we weren't there for the denpa "golden age" from the mid-00s, we're also not in a Japanese cultural context, and not knowing Japanese doesn't help either, which overall makes everything really hard to grasp, and very few people (if at all) here have the authority on the matter.
3. The sad truth is that most don't care anyway, they just want to listen to cute music and denpa just seemed like the perfect word to use for it. I'm probably bitter and wished that more people got interested in it (it's probably your case too) but I can't force people to do everything I want. I used to think I'd never see the word denpa in /jp/ at all, I think it's not all that bad.
4. It wasn't that different before, the first threads here were about the second Team dmp album, and the /bun/ threads were mostly about sharing albums. Although they had piled up old stuff, that was nice.
Now, indeed artists calling themselves denpa were a mistake; if you look back, denpa songs were always rare and mostly born out of an accident or a joke, which is why 2channelers had threads set out to find those songs that had that special combination of vibe, lyrics, music and cultural context, and put them on a list. Spontaneity is, by definition, something you can't replicate.
This phenomenon doesn't seem to be exclusive to denpa though, but rather the whole akiba/otaku culture and industry, which is struggling to survive, and trying to replicate a working formula seems to be the quickest and probably only way to keep the ship afloat.
That said some nice songs have come out of it, I really liked おねがいすにゃいぱー (y0c1e) and VAMPIRE FLOWERS OP (doujin artists, although comissioned for anime and eroge respectively), so the "rate" of new good denpa songs maybe isn't that different today than it was before. There's just more noise, which I'd say is exclusive to a chunk of the doujin scene.

That sounds biased; the talk page of the Japanese wikipedia page for Denpa song was full of shitflinging before it got deleted. I've also seen shitflinging on Twitter about it, especially from some users who also seem bitter about it. But again, this isn't exclusive to denpa. They also seem to be more obsessed with it and by being in Japan they have more going on and nice things to talk about. We on the other hand have to struggle to get information about it or to even listen to it.

>in terms of being able to understand the music better, I've always felt that lyrics just get in the way.
That's contradictory. You can't claim to understand more about denpa without knowing what the songs are about. I understand not caring about the lyrics for songs that consist solely of "moe moe kyun", but there are songs that go beyond that. For example, many songs tend to have specific motifs or characters that go with the song. MilliRobo.beta has some dark and unsettling themes. MOSAIC.WAV in particular has many songs that are based in science, technology, and the otaku subculture. Don't get me wrong, you can still enjoy the songs even if you can't understand the lyrics. I'm just getting the impression that you're proud of not comprehending what you're listening to.
>>15091711
This should be a genre in itself.
You guys should read yohines post about denpa. If you don't know japanese try google translate. I tried translating it and got around half way, but stopped because I didn't like how I worded a lot of things really literally. I might finish at some point. It's a fun read.
>>15094277
It wasn't that good and was almost entirely just opinion pasted as 'This is what I think, don't you agree?' but there wasn't much substance, just a lot of 'inclusive' bullshit which doesn't do much to actually take a stand on the issue, the only worthwhile thing said was about how the quality of denpa should be better. Was there even any mention of Momoi in there? I don't remember so.
>>15093638
That first link is barely even denpa and it's not good.
>metal shit which used to be common back in the day
No it didn't? Maybe more frequent than it is now (depending on if you count nonsense metal doujin stuff) but not 'common' ever.
>>15091850
>True. Though I think that's one part where even MOSAIC's composition shines through since it's rarely ever totally consonant and "right." I tend to get a feeling of suspension listening to them. I also like how they have lots of space and technology themes. Electromagnetic kind of stuff. THAT'S denpa.
You are correct.
>>15091498
>I think one of the biggest points of difference is that older groups didn't work to "make denpa." It just so happened that their music churned out denpa songs. More recent artists are definitely jumping on the "denpa" bandwagon and treating it as an actual genre. When you do that, you homogenize many of the elements.
You are very correct, this is the biggest problem, I think.
>>15091573
You're also correct.
>>15091625
You haven't listened to enough MOSAIC.WAV. Take a step outside the stuff posted on RTL or wherever and dig deeper. Some of their best tracks are B-Sides or on maxi-singles that don't get uploaded.
>>15091674
>I could never get into groups like chiimu because most of their songs have all the same themes: loli, imouto, maids, etc. It isn't bad and I'll even listen a few times, but after a while it gets stale and leaves me wanting more. I just don't feel any emotional attachment or sense of amazement at all when I listen to these kinds of songs.
The silly thing is they just flog a dead horse. MOSAIC.WAV and even momoi have done songs about these sort of things but they do them once, do it well and then move on. Their tracks are memorable because of this.
Chiimu et al just continue to go on about the same tired anime tropes that everyone got bored of in 2005. Loli pantsu and tsundere meidos are old now, nobody who has been watching anime or playing eroge for any substantial period of time wants to hear some old shit about onii-chan's naughty milk all over again when it's ground that has already been trodden by much better artists long before.

New ARM album xfd out.
>>15094724
>figyu@mate ARM remix
>>15094117
I gained a new level of appreciation for MilliRobo.beta after reading translated lyrics. The dark themes with the cute, unassuming vocals.
>突撃！ガラスのニーソ姫
>ぷろぐれっしぶ時空少女！うらしまたろ子ちゃん
Holy shit, I never thought we would get a full version of these.
Seems like most of the album is just remixes of Bemani songs instead of ARM originals unfortunately. I'm rather partial to the Gacha Gacha Cute remix.
>>15094605
Yeah, chiimu really needs a new song writer or something. I think the last album of theirs I listened to was Denpa School, and it was disappointing. It was pretty much anisong-tier (again, nothing wrong with anisong, but I was expecting denpa from something called Denpa School).
>>15094605
>Loli pantsu and tsundere meidos are old now;_;
>>15094605
>You haven't listened to enough MOSAIC.WAV.
Fuck off, man. I counted all the releases I've listened to that are in my collection, and there's 52 (not counting what I have in appearances and other loose mp3s.) You're just like an old guy who's bitter about how things have changed and never stops complaining about the same shit over and over, wow. I'm sick of reading about it. It sucks!
>>15094117
>'m just getting the impression that you're proud of not comprehending what you're listening to.
I'm sorry to come across like that. What I mean to say is that the theme of the song, the lyrics, they're just an extraneous thing to me and not the main focus of my enjoyment anyway. Sometimes I'd like to know what they're saying, but I think ultimately that would cause me to tire of a song more easily. Just an effect words have on me, so I am happy (not proud) to still be able to enjoy the music this way.

Damn those posters who want to talk about denpa instead of just posting pirated albums for you!
Thanks for proving his point.
ちぃむdmp hasn't put out any cds for 2 years now. You can stop droning on about how much you hate them and listen to the stuff you like instead already.
>>15094724
Kind of underwhelming, especially the fig@ remix. Sounded like the OG track with "harder" kicks and bass lead tossed in.
>>15095295
If you managed to go through mosaic's entire discog and couldn't find what you were looking for, then I would probably say this genre as a whole isn't what you're looking for.
>>15097560
Maybe just open up a MOSAIC.WAV thread, then there you could talk about all the denpa you want.
It pains me to make this type of solicitation - again - for any of you to go place a like on that dude's fb page (I will link if you need) so that his goal of 2000 may be reached, thereby unlocking 4 recent MOSAIC.WAV releases in glorious 256k.
>>15097579
Do you actually expect jaypee to have facebook accounts
>>15097587
Isn't it a funny thing? ...no, I didn't.
But just in case!
>>15097567
Or maybe you can get out of the denpa thread if you don't like denpa, sounds more logical to me!
>>15097676
Honestly, as the thread's OP, I'd rather have you leave than the other guy.
>>15097840
You don't have any more authority than any other poster in this thread just because you happened to make it, and especially people who've been here since the first threads. Suck it up and learn to take some criticism.
>>15097888
There's criticism and there's shitting up a thread by arguing that everything is shit except Mosaic.wav for two days, tho.
