Ah, I don't always listen to Japanese music but when I do I listen to enka.

Actually, a lot of the single artist and smaller bands on this are nice to listen to as well. And I like the variety on the chart, something I wish we had more of here on our top 100.

(Anonymous) 2011-11-24 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
XDDD ♥ to the enka songs as well making it on here.

Lets start a rec thread!

(Anonymous) 2011-11-24 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Any recs?

I discovered this cute band Lamp the other day, but it kinda depends on whether or not you like the retro style:

:O I like this. I like it a lot. Thanks for posting it! XDD

Uh, this one's sung in french but the band's Japanese, I believe. I guess I'll just leave this here:

Re: Lets start a rec thread!

(Anonymous) 2011-11-24 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad I can share the love :) I also really love the track you shared! I'm def going to look into this group.

(btw you can D/L Lamp and other Asian jazz/soul/bossanova etc. at this blog: http://minipopcube.blogspot.com/)

I'm also a fan of EGO WRAPPIN who are a folk?/jazz group:



and Soil & Pimp Sessions which is essentially jazz on speed:



Their live shows are supposed to be awesome, and I'm dying to go.

Re: Lets start a rec thread!

[identity profile] fickletastictot.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you for all of this! I'll definitely check out the blog. I haven't looked for any new bands (Japanese or otherwise) for quite a long time and aaah I'm glad this thread sparked something in me to go looking again.

I'm really liking the jazz/bossa nova fare you've linked even though I'm not too familiar with it. Although now that I think about it, it really shouldn't even be a surprise since I like Takako Minekawa (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57LboHngkn4) and Capsule (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Yw07AKCiE)'s earlier stuff, which had that bossa nova rhythm to it.

I wish I could contribute more artists here but I'm lacking knowledge when it comes to the Japanese music industry. ;o; I could recommend... idk, Polysics (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzcT2XDg4Wg)? XD They seem very popular already. (Still pretty boss though!)

Re: Lets start a rec thread!

*Other than the ones I've already linked, I mean. XD

Oh, that's really cute! Thank you for sharing that, I like them. :>

As for recs... Eek, I have a lot actually, so I'm not gonna embed anything.

Angela Aki's songs are really pretty, imo: I really like Tegami (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFJ8EFzywjw), and Funeral of Morals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfeCorBQLvU).

Che-a seems pretty cool! I like Pandora (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XOo3b1Ndbk), and I need to find more of their songs.

Same with HEY-SMITH and Endless Sorrow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K1cRNlKKb4)! They are punk if you like that sort of thing.

Again, BRAHMAN is one of those bands I really need to look up more of, but the sound and video of their song A WHITE DEEP MORNING (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od0IQnBnHLY) is pretty awesome.

Chara has a really unique voice, imo, that I quite enjoy: I'd check out Taisetsu o Kizuku Mono (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezIr0XHUY6U) and Milk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1bTCIa89Dc) first from her, but that's probably because they're the first songs of hers I ever heard too. |D I also thought that Ōki na Jishin ga Kitatte (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh5VTRhiEW8) was super cute.

I really love Cocco's voice, and I think she has some amazing songs. Nirai Kanai (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFqxf8xsjcc) has one of my favorite videos, not just of hers, but ever, and I love the sound of it.

RADWIMPS is just amazing. Like... everything they do is amazing; if there's one band in this list you should check out EVERY SONG of, it would be them. To get people started, I recommend Kanashi (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P7ihFYwbAM), Order Made (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0Jdnkr8xRA), Yuushinron (Heart Theism) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnWx-28rNUc) (though the lyrics to that one get a trigger warning for suicide), and Oshakashama (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU0oHJo18iw) (you have to turn on the subtitles for this one).

And last, just... my favorite band at the moment is called amazarashi. There are three songs by them that I recommend to EVERYBODY EVER because damn. I love their sound, but the latter two of these videos are probably the best things I have ever seen. In order:
1. Hikari, Saikou (Light, Reconsidered) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqJE_d0GGA4) (translation (http://www.jpopasia.com/lyrics/38409/amazarashi/hikari-saikou.html))
2. Christmas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVG2qw4BkzI) (translation (http://lyricstranslate.com/en/christmas-%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AA%E3%82%B9%E3%83%9E%E3%82%B9-christmas.html))
3. anomie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj2HHXxugMk) (translation (http://lyricstranslate.com/en/anomie-%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8E%E3%83%9F%E3%83%BC-anomie.html))

Aaaand I think that's it. I'm sorry, this is long as hell, I just have a lot of feelings about (especially under-appreciated) Japanese bands/artists. Especially those last four, damn.

Omigosh, thanks for reccing Cocco! I actually saw one of her music videos ages ago and made a mental note to look her up, but I forgot all about it. That song of hers you posted is awesome!

[identity profile] andtheunicorn.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Your really welcome! I'm glad I could help you find her again, I really love her stuff.

[identity profile] fickletastictot.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm going through your links and I'm really enjoying them so far! *___________* Thank you as well for posting them!

[identity profile] andtheunicorn.livejournal.com 2011-11-24 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome! I'm always happy to share music, and I'm glad you like them! :D

(Anonymous) 2011-11-24 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
I stopped listening to enka after Hibari Misora died. But I'm still glad other people listen to enka.

(Anonymous) 2011-11-24 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Not being familiar with enka, I'm curious: what do regular enka listeners think of Jero?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eZulXJTZwk

(Anonymous) 2011-11-24 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I like him. I have a few of his tracks :)

Also, it's REALLY aweome to see a mixed-race artist become so popular, especially in a uh...conservative? old-fashioned? genre of music.
