yo anon, all of this rather lovely - I think after dinner was my favorite
some recs from myself:
Takako Minekawa
>experimental pop
Ex-wife of Cornelius, she just got back in the music game, working with Dustin Wong on a couple of albums

check the profile on the left, all the ones hes made so far are in there in order
Panicsmile
>krautrock, post punk
Very Captain Beefheart-esque, and throw in a little deerhoof too. I really enjoyed their latest album, really raw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0NS1wYaD8k
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siITlv66s6k
(from latest album)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x77hth3aqTw
>>53271540
I really enjoyed this
more from the pop genre in the veing of experimental and synth?
Satanicpornocultshop - Arkhaiomelisidonophunikheratos
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90j7UclJfC8
Mitsume
>indie rock, funk-infused rock, dream-pop
These guys are the ideal indie band - they have no label so they manage their own advertisement, press their own CDs, and even made their own website (one of the members is a programmer, go figure).
(from Eye, 2012)

Pizzicato Five

>>53271636
hmmm, I feel like there are a ton, but I just haven't gotten very much into that end.
You could try: Yann Tomita, Cornelius, Yellow Magic Orchestra - but I feel they all have a different aesthetic when compared to Minekawa
>yann tomita
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DoT0_hGP9o
>Cornelius
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f45Nue4zt-E
>YMO
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObIxLx5X0AI
>>53271806
Hell yeah on Pizzicato - Maki is soooo pretty and she's got a damn good voice
someone posted this in a plugdj sesh and i thought it was awesome
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJl627eI_7E
Ogre You Asshole
>Indie rock, funk and bossa nova influenced rock
I'm pretty sure most of you are familiar with OYA, but if you think they are just a run-of-the-mill J-rock band, listen to their latest album. The compositions get tighter, and funky bass lines and beats take the floor - a definite growth and a successful presentation of that growth. They definitely have taken some inspiration from Shin-chan.

>>53271864
holy shit what the fuck i need more of this, alot more of this
put it in my veins
Cibo Matto isnt based in japan but they are japanese if that works hahah
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_v3IK09S-w
its obligatory
>triphop, ambient, bossa
>>53271864
this is really dope - the lead vox plays a mean bass too
The sheer energy reminds of Teashikuchibiru (they released an album last year but I can't find anything yet)

i'll try to push out an update of some kind after my exam next week
>>53271806

Issugi From Monju comes to mind

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQgH4G3qypI
>>53272040
dammit beat me to the punch - and with their best track too
Also: Buddha Brand, DJ Krush (with estero for trip hop needs), Schaa Dara Paar
Sparta Locals
>post punk
The bass lines are what make this band great - not that the angular screeches of the lead are chopped liver and the vox have a strange power behind them.

A Son of the Sun

I need some new rock to obsess over /mu/.
I'll leave this little gem here for you guys to check out;

Toshiki Kadomatsu
>FUNK
this is just classic funk, cannot go wrong with After 5 Crash or Weekend Fly to the Sun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlmQbZzqrZs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrLh66wwbzE
(my personal favorite by him)

I didn't actually realize this was Japan general until I looked at the tab, my bad.

Yoshinori Sunahara
>techno, beats, bossa nova,
Sunahara has a storied career - first active in Denki Groove before going to solo career, which also included him acting as a producer.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9cQ8b87Wts
(my favorite beat of all time)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXlSQ-NrDkE
If there was a required Japanese listening list, Not for Sale by him and Hibiki Tokiwa would be on it - there is nothing like it.
(an outtake from it)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sRI-vhoBSY
>>53272307
have anymore in this genre?
Inoue Takayuki Band
>funk, soul, lupin the 3rd aesthetic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaAc07ts050
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pncszNRIlZc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0auxKAqiMt8
Supercar
>Shoegaze, electro-rock, garage/punk
Speaking of Sunahara, he helped produce Supercar's Highvision, apparent in the heay use of synths. SUpercar are my absolute favorite band of all time so all I can say is - listen! They have something for everybody.
>3 out change (full album is on YT)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSDQTqCwJNQ

This will pick up everyone
cant make it through the first track without grooving
Hatsumi Shibata
>killer vocals, funky
>>53272412
man I can dig it, and lets see:
yuji ohno (sure you've listened to - he's the guy who did the music for Lupin)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TymcURUBQI
>Sadistic mika band
while more of a rock band, they got few tracks that are heavy with the funk stylings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTJXY0yW6JA
>Tatsuro Yamashita
(there used to be an absolutely stunning live performance on YT, but its gone now ;-;)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L_f8uOI830
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqmkTy8V_Iw

wow this is just fucking...wow classic sound
>>53270745
ladies and gentlemen, the latest hot meme
Toshiyuki Honda
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlx1BfqW0r0
>funk
>>53272831
i dont get it
>>53272694
oh man you weren't lying - that first track is killer
>>53272738
no kiddding, this is amazing - anything else like it?
Ryo Fukui
>Jazz, post-bop/modal (I dunno)
If you haven't yet listened to scenery, please do - its a classic that transcends nationality. I think he stills plays at a bar in Sapporo
(early summer is the highlight)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18x7C-nI8F0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIxHWj0pGwU
Takeshi Inomata and Sound Unlimited
>jazz, modal
Ethereal stuff over here, the vocals on the album are really light and airy that pair real well with the composition.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e7iS6THyDc
Isao Quartet
>jazz
Vreates a very ambient atmosphere with most of his works. First track from this album was actually sampled by the Buddha Brand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxQA22rEjzQ
>>53272846
yeah this is hot, when that bass hit, my face just contorted in disgust - too nasty
>>53272875
I dont know anyone quite like her
sadly she passed 4 or so years ago from a heart attack
Mieko Hirota
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlx1BfqW0r0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVZ3IVm78uo
>soul, rnb
Zazen Boys
>funk influence, post-punk
I'm big number girl guy, so listening to zazen boys was something of a shock at first. Even though its also a Mukai-led project, the melodies chased is a lot different - much more avant-garde
